7. X-1 Climax Match (BLOCK A) - Bad Luck Fale vs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka
Fale comes out with the Guerillas of Destiny but they are quickly sent to the back as Owner Snoop Dogg had already mandated there will be no one allowed ringside except for a licensed manager after the rash of interference that marred last year's event. Snuka has been acting a bit differently as of late. Walking out on tag partners. Fighting aggressively and looking to administer additional punishment. The fans still for the most part love him but this is a darker Superfly.
Although Fale is much larger Jimmy is a powerful fighter and he goes right at the big man. The action winds up on the floor where Fale drops Snuka neck first across the steel barricade. Fale rolls in and Jimmy barely beats the 20 count back in. Fale is in control. pounding away at Jimmy. He goes for the Bad Luck Fall but jimmy is able to free himself at the corner and is on the top rope. When Fale turns he is met with a Flying headbutt. Jimmy growls as Fale staggers up and he scoop slams Fale! Jimmy goes up... Death Leap connects! 1.. 2.. 3!

Tama is joined by his brother Tanga Loa for this. Tama brings the fight with his unorthodox offense. Will has to rely on his athleticism to counter it. Tama sits Ospreay on the top buckle facing the crowd and nails a Flying Neckbreaker. He covers for 2. Loa then is choking Will on the ropes while Tama is arguing with the referee. Tama slams Will and wants a Moonsault but Ospreay is up and delivers the Cheeky Nandos Kick. Then a Super Lungblower. He goes back up... Air Assassin (Inverted 450 Splash)! 1.. 2.. 3.
Winner & Still Champion: Will Ospreay
(After the match the Uprising run into the ring. Candido sends Ospreay over the ropes to the floor as KOW send Loa into the post and give the KRS-ONE to Tama Tonga.)
Main Event: X-1 Climax Match (BLOCK B) - El Generico w/Paul Heyman vs Hiroshi Tanahashi
Maybe the most hated man in XWA right now, El Generico walks to the ring slowly while the crowd let him know how they feel about his turn on his partner Kevin Steen. The crowd is serenading Generico as the always do. But instead of singing "Ole'" They are singing "Asshole" in the same key.
Generico gives them the "Up yours" gesture. Heyman laughs at the angry crowd. Heyman grabs a microphone and cuts a promo on Steen. He says it was Steen's stupidity and stubborness to work with Generico that caused them to not win the World Tag Team titles. Heyman says he has no time to waste with losers and chose the better man in El Generico. And reminds the crowd that if Kevin Steen comes out during this match he will be suspended and thrown out the X-1 Climax per orders of Snoop Dogg.
Out comes the 2 time X-1 Climax winner in Tanahashi to a huge ovation. Introductions are made and Generico offers his hand to Tanahashi. He reluctantly reaches out and Generico spits in his face. Tanahashi is livid and chases Generico out the ring. Once back in he catches Tanahashi with a kick and begins to assault Hiroshi. Generico controls the action, wearing down Tanahashi and using a bit of rule breaking tactics. Tanahashi mounts a comeback. He hits A Sling Blade. He goes up but Generico rolls out the ring to avoid the High Fly Flow. But Tanahashi hits one from the top to Generico on the floor. He sends him back in and the fight contnues back and forth. Generico nails the Ole Kick. Then goes for the BRAINBUSTAHHH!!! but Tanahashi counters into a gourdbuster from the top. He rises and leaps with the High Fly Flow. but Generico rolls out the way. Generico school boys him with his feet on the ropes. 1.. 2.. 3!
Winner: El Generico
(Tanahashi immediately complains and we get a review. The result is that Generico cheated and the match will be restarted.)
Tanahashi tears into El Generico. He hits 2 Sling Blades and then a Snapdragon Suplex. He goes up and nails the High Fly Flow! 1.. 2...
NOOOOOOOOO!!! Generico barely kicks out! Both men are spent. Tanahashi dropkicks Generico through the ropes. Hiroshi goes for a plancha and misses. Ole Kick sends Tanahashi over the railing into the crowd. THe ref is counting as Generico rolls back in the ring as Tana gets back over the railing Heyman is standing in his way. Tanahashi gives him a bot and then suplexes him out on the floor. Then goes to get back but Heyman grabs his foot. Tanahashi stomps him. Then goes to get back in but the ref has reached 20.
