This is JIP and Billy is after Martel's back. We see a back breaker, then he hooks on a bear hug. Then hits a beautiful gut wrench suplex. Martel is really good selling underneath. Another nice touch was Martel bumping Robinson outside to the floor. This allows Martel to start stretching his back out that has been worked over. All this is pretty interesting.Robinson targets the arm and we see a nifty escape from Martel. Some big strikes from both guys. Martel hits a neck breaker and  it transitions with Martel on top and this is ok. We see Martel control with a headlock, with Robinson showing some fight. Lord Al interferes to set up the Robinson win. Match began to drag towards the end, and took Lord Al foreever  to climb and grab Martel's leg. for t 3he 3. 2 3/4*
