Jojo announced Hawkins\u2019 entrance as follows: \u201cHis opponent, with a record of zero wins and 238 losses, Curt Hawkins!\u201d Vic indicated that this was the longest losing streak in the modern era.<\/p>\n<p>Hawkins applied an upright side headlock, but Breeze reversed the hold. Hawkins bounced Breeze off the ropes and Breeze knocked Hawkins to the mat with a shoulder block. Breeze crisscrossed a few times, hopping over the prone Hawkins, until Hawkins got to his feet and landed a drop kick. As Breeze sat on the mat holding his mouth, Hawkins seemed apologetic and offered his hand to help Breeze up. Breeze took his hand and stood up, but immediately front-kicked Hawkins and followed up with a big right hand.<\/p>\n<p>In the corner, Breeze laid in more punches and kicks. Breeze whipped Hawkins to the opposite corner where Hawkins dodged the charging attack of Breeze. Hawkins quickly scooped him up in a body slam position and placed Breeze in the ring corner in the tree of woe position. Hawkins scrambled across the ring and ran in to deliver a low-altitude drop kick to the inverted Breeze before dragging him to mid-ring for a cover and a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Breeze rolled over to the apron, and when Hawkins approached from the other side of the ropes, Breeze grabbed his wrists and yanked him downward across the rope. Hawkins stumbled backward, and returned to the ropes where Breeze planted an enzuigiri to his face. Back in the ring, Breeze smashed Hawkins\u2019 face into a top turnbuckle, then planted eight kicks into the collapsing Hawkins before being backed out by the referee. Breeze looked around at the fans, who finally reacted to the match by booing his tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Breeze maneuvered Hawkins to the center of the ring and executed a back suplex, followed by another pin and two-count. After the kick out, Breeze immediately mounted Hawkins from behind with a rear chin lock. Hawkins nearly battled out but Breeze quelled his resistance by lifting him again in the back suplex position, but this time placed Hawkins in the corner in the tree of woe. Breeze was looking to return the favor from earlier in the match, but as he ran in, Hawkins dodged the double kick by elevating himself with a sit up maneuver. Breeze bumped hard onto his back. Breeze rolled slowly to the center of the ring as Hawkins slumped down to the mat from where he was hanging in the corner. Vic pointed out that this could be Hawkins\u2019 best chance to snap his 238-match losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>With both wrestlers back on their feet, Hawkins landed four right hands before clothes lining Breeze to the mat two times. Breeze staggered into a corner, and Hawkins charged in and landed a big forearm. Back in the middle, Hawkins scooped Breeze up and landed a (very safe) Michinoku driver for a pin and two-count. As Breeze slowly stirred in the middle of the ring, Hawkins crouched and bounced in the corner, waiting to uncoil and strike. When Breeze finally got to his feet, Hawkins sprinted in and leveled him with a violent lariat that turned Breeze inside out. Hawkins quickly went for a pin, hooking the near leg, but again got a two-count.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-432978050\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Hawkins got to his feet and shouted, \u201cC\u2019mon, Breeze! \u00a0You\u2019re dead!\u201d \u00a0His voice was strangely reminiscent of Jeff Bridges, and he even resembles a young version of \u201cthe Dude\u201d from The Big Lebowski. As Hawkins approached, Breeze scrambled to the ropes, causing the referee to intervene and push Hawkins away. Breeze used this brief distraction to superkick Hawkins, and then immediately delivered an Unprettier. Breeze covered and got the three-count. Vic lamented, \u201cThe losing streak continues!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: \u00a0Tyler Breeze by pinfall.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019 Analysis: \u00a0Not a bad match. \u00a0There was no high-flying from either wrestler, but the match did feature some high velocity \/ high impact moves. The booking was nice and simple, using Hawkins\u2018 losing streak to paint him as the underdog. To accentuate this, Breeze was in full heel-mode &#8211; something that isn\u2018t consistent show-to-show, but it made sense within the confines of this match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Main Event recap session:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recap of Dean Ambrose vaccinations promo from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Recap of Dean Ambrose gas mask promo from Raw, featuring jacket with Fozzie Bear fur trim from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of subsequent Dean Ambrose brawl with Seth Rollins from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Recap of Miz TV with Daniel Bryan and A.J.

Rawley aggressively rolled around and juked at Axel. Axel responded by doing \u201cthe floss\u201d and extending his tongue from his mouth in a manner unbecoming of a professional athlete. Rawley angrily charged at the corner but Axel dodged and planted rhythmic kicks to Rawley as Dallas chanted \u201cB-Team\u201d from the ring apron. Dallas tagged in and bounced off the ropes toward Rawley, but Rawley stooped low and picked up the incoming Dallas and carried him into enemy territory back-first against the turnbuckle. Rawley drove his shoulder into Dallas\u2019 midsection three times before tagging in Viktor. Within seconds, all six men were in the ring and a chaotic brawl broke out as the show went to commercial.<\/p>\n<p>After the break, order had been restored and Rawley was squaring off against Ryder. Rawley set up for a vertical suplex, but Ryder reversed out and landed a Rude Awakening. A mediocre \u201cB-Team\u201d chant echoed through the arena as both men stirred and scrambled for the simultaneous tags to Axel and Viktor.<\/p>\n<p>Axel got the upper hand with clotheslines to Viktor, and Axel knocked Konnor off the ring apron for good measure. Axel charged at Viktor in the corner, again with his tongue out, and landed a reverse elbow before rolling him to the canvas with a snap mare. Axel then performed the obligatory neck snap as Vic cited Axel\u2019s father, Mr. Perfect. Axel started another \u201cB-Team\u201d chant among the crowd before smashing Viktor\u2019s face to the mat with a neckbreaker variant. Axel pinned Viktor, but Rawley entered the ring and busted up the count at two.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1948911643\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Ryder entered the ring and leaped at Rawley to squash him with the Rough Ryder, but Rawley utilized upper body strength to push Ryder up and harmlessly over his head. Unfortunately for Rawley\u2019s team, Konnor was situated directly behind Rawley, who, as a result of Rawley\u2019s cunning move, absorbed the full impact of the Rough Ryder. Not so harmless, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas knocked the flabbergasted Rawley down from behind, but then Viktor booted Dallas in the gut and threw him out of the ring through the ropes. Dallas reappeared and rolled over Viktor\u2019s back body drop attempt and went for a sunset flip. Viktor blocked the move by quickly dropping to his knees onto Dallas\u2019 chest for a pin, and would\u2019ve had a three-count hadn\u2019t the referee noticed Viktor grabbing the ropes for leverage. Meanwhile, Dallas sprung up from the floor onto the ring apron and boinked Viktor\u2019s hand free from the rope, allowing Dallas to finally follow through with the sunset flip for the three-count and victory.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Zack Ryder and B-Team by pinfall.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019 Analysis: \u00a0Really cool finish to this six-man tag. \u00a0There\u2018s little excuse for rest holds in matches like this, but it was still refreshing to see a Main Event match without one. Konnor was technically in the match but was largely uninvolved.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>SHOW SCORE (0-10): 7.1<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Two decent, brief matches. If Breeze is truly a heel, he needs to own it more. It\u2019s interesting to see Main Event\u2019s announce team make an attempt at a storyline with Hawkins and his losing streak, but it\u2019s overly optimistic to think it will go anywhere. The same goes for the undefeated streak of Ryder and B-Team. Main Event would benefit from storytelling straight from its own wrestlers instead of the announce team.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S REPORT:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/11\/30\/11-28-wwe-main-event-report-titus-vs-mojo-rawley-ascension-tyler-breeze-are-a-superb-odd-couple-against-b-team-zack-ryder\/\">11\/28 WWE Main Event Report: Titus vs. Mojo Rawley, Ascension &amp; Tyler Breeze are a superb odd couple against B-Team &amp; Zack Ryder<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1387283063\"><div id=\"pwtor-1155249198\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE MAIN EVENT #323, HULU STREAMING TV DECEMBER 5, 2018 REPORT BY MIKE MEYERS, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Announcers: \u00a0Nigel McGuinness, Vic Joseph, Percy Watson REASONS TO WATCH\u2026 Can Curt Hawkins break a 238-match losing streak?
