Saturday night’s alright for fightin’…especially after I’m done cryin’ over The Accountant airing just before Collision on TNT. Anyway…
We’re greeted by the commentary team before Adam Copeland makes his entrance, heading to the ring for his open challenge! Copeland gets a microphone to greet the folks in Norfolk before saying it’s time for the Cope-Open. Let’s see who is up for the challenge…and Lee Moriarty makes his way out! Shane Taylor accompanies him, hyping up Moriarty and Shane Taylor Promotions before we get a video package hyping up “Taigastyle.” Moriarty speaks up now, calling himself the prize fighter of Shane Taylor Promotions and one of the best technical wrestlers in the world…and he’s gonna prove it by making Copeland tap in HIS ring.
Copeland says that’s a lot of yapping, and Lee better back those words up. With that, the bell rings and this match gets underway!
Adam Copeland vs. Lee Moriarty
The two lock up, exchanging holds before Copeland takes Moriarty down for a side headlock…but Taigastyle fights out, getting a headscissors before Copeland escapes. The Rated R Superstar gets the better of Lee now, getting him in the corner for a few more shots …and avoids the attack by Morarity to get him onto the apron!
