– Drake monologues and bans Edwards’ kendo stick from the match.

218 Eddie Edwards vs. Eli Drake: Edwards slaps Drake’s ass to begin. Seriously. Drake stalls and demands that there be no ass slapping. They lock up and Drake hits a shoulder tackle.

Edwards gets the banned kendo stick and Drake crotches Edwards as he climbs up top. Drake gets a chair, and Edwards gets the kendo and attacks; the future shock DDT finishes it. Eddie Edwards defeated Eli Drake @ 24:24 via pin [**½] This was a solid but disappointing main event. The match really dragged as they played grab ass with Drake’s special rules, which really added nothing to the match. They worked an extremely lethargic pace and it felt even longer than it was. Why these guys just couldn’t go out and have a quality 15-minute match I’ll never know. But it was more important to put over the gimmick of “Drake’s show” I guess.

– End Scene.
