A loaded boot and that claw could make it real tough to unseat Von Hess. Love Tolos being here but I really dig the Holy Ghost Splash finisher. Great push for Hamilton.
 
Solid show.

I never knew that Von Hess - one of my favorites - used the claw until I read it here. When I saw him he was using the hangman's neckbreaker as his finisher.
The truth about the boot will be revealed in the very near future.
