Jacobs vs. Whitmer- I Quit
They started as always, Jacobs uses speed to set up his ultraviolence, while Whitmer uses power for his. This works and is good until Whitmer ties Jacobs to the ropes (with help from Fannon) and bashes the living shit out of Jacobs with a kendo stick, going after the legs and head. The legs are how Jacobs usually sets up his offense, so when he's free, he immediately tries to finish with the guillotine choke. That doesn't work and he's screwed.
Whitmer takes him out big time with weapons while Jacobs tries and fails to use speed, locking in the figure four for the false finish due to ref stoppage as Jacobs is KO-ed. They restart the match since that isn't an "I Quit" and Whitmer goes back to the same move, but this time Jacobs escapes with a spike.
They go to a spike war and Jacobs looks like he has nothing left as Whitmer looks to finish... Jacobs, out of desearation goes to the groin with the spike; Whitmer has no choice but to quit and Jacobs pulls out a miracle. **** 1/4-**** 1/2.
Jacobs desperation was his only weapon after his knee was annihilated by Whitmer, and, through pure grit, he found the only way he was going to beat the faster, stronger Whitmer... he out meaned him. Baddass and if anyone actually sold in this it'd be 5*.
