Two weeks ago on 205 Live: Lince Dorado played back footage of his victory against The Brian Kendrick from the week prior with the Shooting Star Press. After the match, Lince thought that a sportsmanlike handshake would take place but what transpired was Kendrick resorting to a pathetic low blow. All that this has accomplished was Lince focusing all of his attention on a rematch against Kendrick and in that rematch Kendrick would be sorry he ever even thought about what he did.

Kendrick then appeared and said that he looked into Lince's eyes after the match and saw that he had already written off Kendrick as if he was some lowly amateur nobody. With his actions, Kendrick insured himself another opportunity at a match against Lince by knowing exactly how Lince would react. Like getting into a time machine and fixing your past, The Brian Kendrick will put down and defeat Lince Dorado.

Last week on 205 Live: Kendrick would make good on his promise by defeating Lince Dorado (although Kendrick continued his dirty tactics by having his feet on the ropes to help get the pin).

Middle Card Promo

Lince Dorado comes to the ring and refuses to make excuses for losing to The Brian Kendrick last week. Lince should have expected more dirty tricks from the cruiserweight veteran. With one win a piece between them, Lince has no other recourse but to challenge Kendrick to a tie-breaking rubber match. If Kendrick wins again then he is truly the better man and Lince is simply no match for his veteran trickery. However, if Lince wins then he'll simply expose Kendrick as a coward.
