Callihan powerbombs Moose into a vertical trash can, followed by another Cactus Driver 97 but it’s still not enough to keep Moose down.

The trip down memory lane continues as he hits a Black Hole Slam for two. Alexander connects with the Best Moonsault Ever for another near fall. Alexander almost puts Young away with the Styles Clash but when Young kicks out, Alexander floats over into the Ankle Lock. Young is tapping out but the referee is blinded after Deaner throws powder in his eyes. Alexander sends Doering through a table with an Olympic Slam. Young shatters a guitar over Alexander’s head. Young spikes him with a Piledriver on the exposed wood but somehow Alexander kicks out at two. Alexander connects with a C4 Spike to score the pinfall and retain the IMPACT World Title!
