He then traded barbs with, virtually, Rocky Romero. The two gave a completely new feel to everything. The broadcast team of Kevin Kelly and Alex Koslov ran down the card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Karl Fredericks and Alex Coughlin vs. Clark Connors and Kevin Knight.<\/strong> The teams got in each other&#8217;s face to begin. Coughlin and Knight began with a series of wrist-locks. The two traded uppercuts in the corner. Knight landed a high hip-toss for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Knight tagged in Connors and Coughlin tased in Fredericks. Fredericks worked over Connnors but Connors ducked a boot. Still, Frredericks and Connors traded chops in the middle of the ring. Fredericks went for a speak, but Connors caught him for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Knight tagged in and hit a shoulder-tackle for a one-count. After a shoulder-block, Fredericks got a two-count. Coughlin went for a slam and got a two-count on Knight. Coughlin then locked in a bow-and-arrow. Fredericks tagged in and went for a series of pins that didn&#8217;t work out for him.<\/p>\n<p>Knight and Fredericks made tags, but Connors got the best of the exchange with a spear. A double-gut-wrench then ensued from Coughlin. Knight and Fredericks exchanged blows for a one-count. Knight went for a Boston Crab, but Fredericks got to the ropes. Knight worked over both opponents, but Fredericks worked a sleeper hold. Fredericks then hit the Manifest Destiny to gain the pin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Karl Fredericks and Alex Coughlin defeated Clark Connors and Kevin Knight via pinfall in 12:41.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After the match, the winners cut a promo backstage, saying they would never take this for granted again.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>McGuire&#8217;s Musings:<\/strong><\/span> This was very good. If the episode is centered around the New Japan Cup USA, this was a solid way to pay respects to that all the while still being a good opening match. I like Connors and Knight a lot, but the right team went over here. Fredericks will be a star somewhere, someday. Mark it down.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-133212609\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>2. The DKC vs. Tom Lawlor in a New Japan Cup USA qualifier.<\/strong> The DKC made his anxious, quick entrance to the ring, Lawlor, meanwhile, was very much Lawlor with his swinging stick. Lawlor hit a kick but the DKC hit a dropkick that landed hard. The two wrestlers went outside, but the DKC got the best of Lawlor.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, the two traded blows. The DKC hit a Northern Lights suplex for a two-count. Lawlor hit some chops and strikes. Lawlor then landed some chops on the DKC and went forward with elbows and kicks. Lawlor hit some uppercuts and a back suplex for at one-count. Lawlor went for a leg submission but the DKC rolled to the ropes for a break.<\/p>\n<p>Lawlor then hit a suplex for a two-count. Lawlor went for a slam, but the DKC turned it into a sleeper hold. After that, Lawlor sunk in a figure-four. The SKC started slapping Lawlor and ultimately got to the ropes for a break. Lawlor hit the DKC and rolled him up for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Lawlor was subject to a choke, but he eventually slammed The DKC. Lawlor went for a submission, but The DKC turned it into a submission of his own. Lawlor then dropped The DKC on his head and went for a sleeper hold. Lawlor then hit a kick to the chest and pinned him for there 1-2-3.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Filthy&#8221; Tom Lawlor defeated The DKC via pinfall in 9:13 to qualify for the New Japan Cup USA tournament.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>McGuire&#8217;s Musings:<\/strong><\/span> I continue to like how they are developing the DKC. I wouldn&#8217;t have bet he would win here, but there were some very good near falls and he showed a lot of fight. Meanwhile, Filthy Tom Lawlor is so good. Like, really so good. I want to see where he goes in this tournament, because he&#8217;s due for some good things coming his way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Lio Rush vs. Rocky Romero in a New Japan Cup USA qualifier.<\/strong> No time limit? OK. The two traded arm holds before Romero Took control. Rush came back to work a head-lock. Rush landed a head-scissors to break everything up and the two went for a tie-up. Rush hit a shoulder block, but Romero countered. The two then went for two separate dropkicks and went to their corners.<\/p>\n<p>Rush worked over Romero, but Romero hit some chops. Rush then went for uppercuts, but Romero took control with chops. Rush took control, but Romero landed a forever kick for a two-count. Romero then worked Rush&#8217;s arm. Romero continued to work the arm, but Rush rolled out to hit a kick and landed some strikes before Romero hit a dropkick from the top rope for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is one hell of a main event,&#8221; Kelly said and he was right. Romero went for a cutter, but Rush escaped. Romero hit some forever clotheslines, but Rush worked out and hit a slam for a two-count. Rush went to run, but Romero held him down. Rush hit a kick but Romero hit a kick and a reverse suplex for a good near-fall.<\/p>\n<p>Romero then went back to work on Rush&#8217;s arm. Romero went for a slam, but Rush hit a Death Valley Driver for a two-count. On their feet, the two traded elbows. Rush eventually hit a spinning kick to the face. Romero and Rush traded roll-ups, but Romero ultimately was pinned.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1323036070\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Lio Rush defeated Rocky Romero via pinfall in 13:57 to qualify for the New Japan Cup USA tournament.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After the match, the two shook hands while Rush went to the back and Kelly said &#8220;we&#8217;ll see you next week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">McGuire Musings:<\/span><\/strong> This was good.

Rush has looked very good in his Strong appearances, and I hope those means he&#8217;ll be given more attention because he deserves it.<\/p>\n<p>In all, this was good to move things forward when it comes to the New Japan Cup USA. How can you really follow Moxley and Kenta? You can&#8217;t. So this is what we have. And it&#8217;s not bad. So kudos.
