Mustafa Ali def. Drew Gulak {Semifinal Match}
I liked the gimmick of Gulak getting frustrated with Ali’s skills in the ring, so much so that he became determined to win the match by count out in a brutal way. The rest of the match was paced kind of funky, but I’ll remember the count out stuff more than I’ll remember most wrestling that I watch. Ali won in 15:13 with the 054 Splash. Ali gets interviewed after the match, hyping his title match at WrestleMania. ***½
