*King Of Indies Opening Round*
"Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce vs. "Anarchist" Doug Williams
What an amazing opening match, that saw two very polished wrestlers working with each other. Pearce taunted the fans at ringside, and they immediately took to the side of Doug Williams. Williams may be one of the best mat technicians ever seen live. He tied "Scrap Iron" up in so many different holds. Pearce used a few cheats, but other than that he displayed some technical wrestling that APW fans hadn't seen from him before. It seemed that every time "Scrap Iron" would lock Williams in a hold, the Englishman would come up with some sort of never-before-seen counter to get out of it. The most impressive came at the end of the match, when Pearce went for a submission hold, and Williams escaped with ease, turning it into a belly-to-back suplex. This was a fantastic opening match, and what a way to start off the tournament. It would easily have been a main event during a normal show.
