Clark: The two move to the center of the ring and lock up! Miles twists out into a wristlock! Tatcher keeps control as he shoves Smith into the corner! Thatcher releases and rears back for a forearm! But Smith catches him with a back elbow! Smith turns around and runs Miles into the ropes! PARALYZER! The spinebuster plants Thatcher into the mat!

Ben: Smith is a crafty one! And now he’s stalking from behind as Miles rolls in pain! Thatcher getting slowly to his knees! Rising to his feet! Smith goes in for it! BROKEN WINGS! The swinging neckbreaker! It connects! Smith covers and hooks the legs! AND HE HAS THE TIGHTS!!!
