It's been a while since I've been to a WWA4 Thursday night free show. They have several new trainees working matches tonight so I'll be somewhat lenient in my report. Seven matches are scheduled.

Main Event: Jack Kujo v Tommy Maserati
Kujo wants a fair, one on one matchup with no interference by Fox or the rest of the Skulk. Maserati agrees but since Kujo had a title match last week this match will be a non-title match and that it also be a no DQ match...for Maserati. Kujo can still be DQ'ed. Maserati is taking full advantage of the no DQ stip. This is a match of high flyers and high risks. Tommy brings a chair into the ring but Kujo wrangles it away. The ref grabs the chair to prevent Kujo's DQ. Maserati locks in a rear naked choke, Kujo makes the ropes but the ref can't force the break. Kujo breaks free and goes on the attack.

The Skulk attack Kujo. Sean Dean and Dementia and Lee Johnson come out and make the save. Dean tosses Gray over the top rope and onto the other members of the Skulk. I liked this match, good storytelling and it advances the story towards the inevitable showdown between the Skulk and the rest of the locker room. Solid B.
