QUARTERFINAL MATCH
Click Here: Brisbane Broncos Team JerseyJACK GALLAGHER vs. ZACK GIBSON

Gentleman Jack got the chance to play babyface here, as the London crowd absolutely hates Zack Gibson and were doing chants against him throughout the entire match. Gibson controlled the early going with submission holds, doing some joint manipulation and keeping the WWE star grounded with some big submissions. Slow, methodical offense, letting the crowd get all their chants out. Gallagher took a rough bump into the corner that sounded like he hit the turnbuckle the hard way, then turned around into a gut punch that doubled him over.

Gallagher finally found some momentum landing a bit right hook out of the corner and setting in with rapid kicks and strikes. Gibson came off the ropes but got caught in the air, deadlifted up for a huge vertical suplex, followed by a punt kick to the jaw for two-and-a-half. The two fought into the corner going back and forth with clubbing blows, and Gibson connected with a rolling elbow to the jaw followed by a brutal Hangman’s Lungblower (a move he calls the Ticket to Ride) using the ropes for another nearfall. He went to follow up but Gallagher out of nowhere caught him in a triangle choke!

Gibson tried to fight out with a powerbomb in the corner, but Jack hung on and switched to a cross armbar over the top rope! The Liverpool native rolled to the outside after the referee forced a ropebreak, but Gallagher didn’t give him any room to breath, flying through the ropes with a tope suicida to take both guys down. Jack rolled them back in the ring and followed up with a running dropkick in the corner, but he went to the well too many times with the dropkick and got sent hard into the ring post, destroying his shoulder. Gibson took advantage and attacked the shoulder, dropping his opponent with a second Ticket to Ride, but somehow the 205 Live superstar kicked out at two-and-three-quarters. Livid at the nearfall, he put another beating on the injured shoulder of Gallagher, before applying a modified Kimura Lock to get the submission.

Advancing to the Semifinals: Zack Gibson

QUARTERFINAL MATCH
JOE COFFEY vs. DAVE MASTIFF

These two big hosses started out trying to knock each other over, colliding in the middle of the ring over and over again until Coffey went for the knee and took his opponent down. The brawled to the outside and continued colliding all around ringside, and this time it was Mastiff who won the exchange, sending Joe flying into the ring apron with a huge shoulder tackle. Back in the ring Mastiff came up empty looking for a Banzai Drop and the Scottish star came off the second rope with a tackle, slowly chopping down the (other) big man as best he could.

Things went back and forth like two very agile elephants, but neither of them wanted to stay down. Mastiff hit a running senton splash and slowed things down for a minute, but Coffey refused to go down and kept firing back with dropkicks, employing chops and elbow strikes trying to daze the larger Mastiff. They got into a bit of an “anything you can do, I can do better” exchange. When one threw a dropkick, the other threw a dropkick. Tackle for tackle, suplex for suplex. Nearing the end Coffey somehow managed to German suplex his opponent, but Mastiff came right back and deadlift suplexed him in exchange. After a hard-hitting battle Coffey finally hit a huge running lariat to pick the match away.
