Resistance Pro Wrestling: STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE RESISTANCE PRO TITLE w/ guest referee RAVEN: HARRY SMITH(c) vs. RHINO - (05.11.12) -
Jeremy Borash from TNA came out to announce the main event. He put over the show and said he was scouting for talent. Apparently he made a phone call and got Jay Bradley a tryout at Impact in 2 weeks.
Crowd was a little more split than in the past. Lots of "Detroit Sucks" chants. These two just work really really well together. Rhino just brings out a very competitive side to Harry Smith that I most folks don't see from him. Both guys look very comfortable kicking each other's ass and it translates to the fans. The action was brutal and back and forth for over 30 minutes before Raven revealed his true colors and double crossed Rhino by hitting him with a belt shot and counting the win for the defending champion. Raven kept Rhino's "prized possession" for himself and Harry remains the R-Pro champion. Raven promised a meaner, more "shooter" type wrestler out of Smith and that a new era of R-Pro would be beginning.
THE FINISH
Rhino hit the gore, Raven counted a near fall that looked.... a little suspicious. Everyone thought it was a three, and it actually looked like Raven stopped before Harry lifted his shoulder. Then Lou E. Dangerously, just waltzed into the cage. A guy next to me said, "Well what the hell is it there for if anyone can just get in?" Dangerously, carrying the ECW title told Rhino that he had his back. Raven came over to confer with them and it looked like poor Harry was about to get screwed.
Then Raven grabbed the title and knocked Rhino out. Harry made the cover and Raven counted to three to end the match.
THE AFTERMATH
Lou E. took the ECW title and strapped it around Raven's waist while Harry was awarded his Resistance Pro title. Raven then took the mic, and in a long promo, told the crowd about why he and Harry are now buddies and why Raven would screw Rhino. For one, he says everyone thinks Harry is a good little boy, but it's all an act. He just does it because his mother asked him to. He's really kind of sadistic, a trait he got from his grandfather, Stu. And as for Rhino, Raven said it was BS that Rhino even had the belt, because everyone knows Raven is the most famous of all the ECW champions. So now he was taking the belt back.
He finished it off by saying he was now Harry's new manager, and they did the Raven arm pose to end the show.
