Christian Cage vs. Norman Smiley
Immediately, Cage attacked Smiley – who was in his full football gear usually seen during his hardcore days – with a chair. Norman recovered, avoided a haymaker and executed that swinging slam. Of course that meant it was time for the Big Wiggle. Christian countered with a low blow, laying him out with another chair shot. As if that wasn’t enough, Cage unleashed the con-chair-to before covering Smiley with one boot to pick up the three count.
Winner: Christian Cage (1:20)
Is it A Classic: Outside of the odd nature of seeing Smiley wrestle Christian in a Street Fighter, there’s nothing really to see here thanks to the little time they got. Disappointing because these two could’ve had an instant classic.
