He goes for the Jewel Heist but Dean counters into a DDT. He goes on offense a bit but the Owens rakes the eyes of Malenko. He goes for Paper Chase (Flipping Neckbreaker) but Dean has it scouted and turns it into a Rear Naked Choke. Owens has nowhere to go... He taps.

6TH BATTLE: The Eliminators w/ Larry Sweeney (5-2) vs Blonde Bashers (8-4)
The Eliminators are still a bit salty about missing the Grand Prix Tournament due to issues with their visa. The Bashers have been a bit stale of late and are looking to work their way back to a title shot. Honma & Makabe seem to be owning the night as they are manhandling Sweeney's boys. But then a jumping kick from Kronus behind the ear of Togi turns the tide for a bit. They double team Makabe a while but can't keep him down. Finally Honma gets in and cleans house. All 4 men are in and Honma goes for a Torpedo Kokechi on Saturn but he ducks it and Honma catches Makabe knocking him through the ropes. They grab a stunned Honma... TOTAL ELIMINATION! 1.. 2.. 3!

The RSW Junior Champion, Dragon Lee, is a bit of a fan favorite but he's still a foreigner facing a Japanese legend. Intros are made and the bell sounds. Despite being two Juniors they are at a very deliberate pace early on. Both men seem content to work a mat based match. Lee is holding his own quite well and at one point gets in a La Magistral Cradle for a near fall. Liger didn't like that and the match begins to take a different tone.
