Cooper was champion at the first show, so he obviously had dropped the belt at some point in between those two shows.
Xander Cooper bears a striking resemblance to Draco Malfoy, so the crowd had some fun with that to start the match. Cooper cut Andrews off early with a nice knee strike. Cooper got the heat for a while after that. Andrews eventually came back with a series of kicks and a Bubba Bomb. Andrews got a nearfall with a springboard crossbody. Cooper came back and went for a moonsault, but Andrews avoided it. Cooper hit a backstabber, but Andrews got his foot on the ropes. Cooper went for an avalanche backstabber, but Andrews fought out of it and hit a shooting star press: 1…2…3!
Good basic match that worked for the crowd. They didn’t do anything too spectacular, but this match was definitely enjoyable and more crisp than the Scarlo Scholarship Championship match from Chapter 1 (although the Scarlo match on Chapter 2 was noticeably better).
TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
