Hardway then hits Mo with a chair and says he had one more member for him to wrestle.
Part 4
Mo def. Alexa Thatcher to sucessfully run the H Inc. Gauntlet Alexa tried to pin Mo who was still down from Hardway’s chairshot but kicked out at 2 and then started to “Hulk Up”. Alexa slapped Mo but no selled it. Hardway came up to the apron but was met with a “You!” punch.
Mo whipped Alexa to the ropes hit the big boot cuffed his hand tho his ear hit the big leg drop and then 1…..2……3.
Mo then told Hardway that since he ran the gauntlet in succession he gets a title shot. He then said he was cashing it in at “Rise 2 Power”
on 11/10 and said that he would also choose the stipulation. He told Hardway that he will end this by making him say “I Quit”.
Final Thoughts
This show kicked F’N ass. Somebody should tell Vince McMahon how to put on a go home show to a big event the right way because ACE knows how to do so. It seems that 11/10 will be a tough act to follow.
