Let's not just look at what Brian Kendrick is doing, let's look at how he's doing it.
The attitude, the look on his face.
>> DDT again to the top of the head.
Here's the cover, hook to the leg, and a kick out.
>> You can feel the malice dripping off of Brian Kendrick.
And, again, as you said, it all comes down to respect in the mind of Brian Kendrick,
whether you believe that's unfounded or not.
>> [NOISE] >> Aah!
>> It is founded, I get it.
>> Aah!
>> Having been in this locker room for a while, having worked with guys like
Brian Kendrick, when you've been around that long and
you don't feel what you deserve is coming your way, you get it however you can.
>> Brian Kendrick has gotten himself some duct tape.
>> Well they say it can fix anything, let's see if it can fix Akira Tozawa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
>> No!.
>> My God.
>> Look at this.
>> No!
>> Tozawa's being trapped here along the top rope by Brian Kendrick.
And this is all legal, by the way.
>> He's turning that duct tape into a pair of hand cuffs.
Akira Tozawa has nowhere to go, and he's got that kendo stick in his hands.
>> And batter up.
[APPLAUSE] >> And,
now Brian Kendrick can take his time.
He can savor every single strike.
>> I don't think the Oakland As are coming here to Las Vegas, but Brian Kendrick,
happy to play ball.
Look at this, again with the kendo stick.
And now Tozawa, creating a bed of chairs, center of the ring.
>> [SOUND] And
then the boot to the face.
There is something bad on the mind of Akira Tozawa.
>> No, no, no.
>> Yes, yes, yes.
Trying to set up Brian Kendrick, and Kendrick dropping in his knees,
dropping his hips, trying to prevent the Suplex Attempt.
>> Wisely dropping his center of gravity, trying to turn it around.
>> Now again, trying to outpower Tozawa.
>> Switch again.
>> Now, and again both men trying to get low.
Trying to use the center of gravity.
>> Nobody wants to do this.
Nobody wants to take that hit.
But here we go!
>> Both men into the chairs!
>> [SOUND] >> And
now Tozawa trying to setup the table.
He's been through a lot.
They've been through a war already.
Just to set that table up takes energy.
>> [NOISE] >> An all too familiar battle for
Tozawa and Kendrick playing out tonight here in Las Vegas.
>> You have to wonder, was this what he was looking for earlier?
[APPLAUSE] >> Wait a minute,
I remember these two having a battle like this.
And a move like that bringing it to an end!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Lightning can strike twice, Tom.
>> Multiple chairs stacked on the chest of Brian Kendrick.
Tozawa going to the top turnbuckle.
Could be looking for another Senton.
If so, this would absolutely destroy Kendrick.
What? >> Wait a minute!
>> Hey, that's Mike Kanellis.
What is he doing here?
>> Mike Kanellis is beating the hell out of Akira Tozawa.
And there's no disqualifications, this is legal.
>> [NOISE] >> Putting the boots to Akira Tozawa.
I know Mike Kanellis has been frustrated for months.
>> [NOISE] >> But
he's- >> But
is this the way he thinks is going to get him out of that?
>> Boots, kendo sticks, now chairs.
>> [SOUND] >> Kanellis on a rampage.
Absolutely relentless.
And now putting the bow on it.
Ooh! >> Come on, what are you doing?
>> Come on.
>> He's going to do it.
>> No. >> He's going to drag him right
on top of Tozawa.
>> Dragging the lifeless Kendrick into the cover.
Kendrick's gonna beat Tozawa, thank to Mike Kanellis.
>> Here is your winner,
the Brian Kendrick.
>> Well, the ring announcement might have been that the Brian Kendrick won, but
this was a Mike Kanellis production.
