:FINAL NIGHT:

1. Will Ospreay (XWA) vs Sabu (WWF)

Ospreay tonight is joined by his GF Priscilla. She had been noticeably absent in the first two rounds. Sabu comes out to a great ovation. He is kind of the dark horse in this tourney so far. Will seems to not be too worried about Sabu tonight but he soon learns the error of that as Sabu goes full boar at him. Will hits a Marufuji Hook Kick. But Sabu retaliates with a simple straight right to the jaw. Sliced Bread #2 by Sabu and he covers for two. He hits a Legdrop. Then looks to apply the Arabian Clutch but but Ospreay slides under his legs while maintaining wrist control and hits the Rainham Maker (Ripcord Standing Moonsault Side Slam)! 1.. 2.. No! Will looks for the Hidden Blade but Sabu sees it coming and counters into a Fujiwara Armbar! Will is in panic mode and barely gets the ropes. Sabu delivers a Samoan Drop and looks to go up for the Arabian Press but Priscilla jumps on the apron to distract him. Sabu just piefaces her down off the apron But that gave Will time to recover. He nails Silent Whisper. Then he brings Sabu back in via a Brainbuster, He goes up top... Air Assassin! 1.. 2.. 3! Will Ospreay hugs Priscilla as he just punched his ticket to the finals.

Winner: Will Ospreay

Will is the larger man, with the better recent pedigree. But it's Rey Mysterio who gets the cheers from the capacity crowd here in Long Island, NY. Priscilla is in the ring for introductions rubbing the shoulders of Ospreay while shooting daggers from her eyes towards Rey. Rey is bouncing on his feet working out some nervous energy. He's been in big spots before but this might be his biggest.

Match begins with them circling one another. Will feels superior and just goes right at Rey but hey gives him a series of Arm drags, then a Dropkick and Ospreay rolls out to the floor.

Ospreay could be a sleeper in this. That's a big win over Sabu

And with the Liger loss, World Class is eliminated

Mysterio wins it! While I'm cool with him being champ, would have liked to see an active promoter win it. This is 2 world champions we have now that their owners arent active.

Good stuff
