Hunter pulls back, really cranking on the neck of Ruiz. With an unintentional thumb to the eye Hunter breaks the hold.
Howley: DQ HIM!
Moss: It was clearly unintentional.
Howley: Oh if the tables were turned you’d be calling for that man’s family!
Moss: Look Ruiz is apologizing.
Hunter is holding his eye as Ruiz crawls over to check on him. Both men help each other to their feet. With a quick shake of each other’s hands they get back into the action. Ruiz kicks the gut of Hunter and grabs the back of his head and drives it to the mat. Ruiz climbs to the middle rope and leaps off, Hunter gets a foot up, knocking Ruiz silly. Hunter rises to his feet as Ruiz shakes the cobwebs out and goes for Spanish Eyes but Hunter catches his foot.
Moss: A little early for that.
Hunter kicks the back leg out from under him while holding onto the foot. He begins to walk through for the Figure Four but Ruiz plants a foot on his ass and knocks Hunter off of him. Both men get to their feet and with a quick nod they are back off to the races.
Moss: Neither man was able to get their shot off, but not for a lack of effort.
Ruiz ducks a clothesline attempt, but Hunter swats away a drop kick attempt himself. The two men exchange blows in the middle of the ring. Hunter takes the upper hand, and goes for a swinging neck breaker, but Ruiz rolls out of it. Ruiz then goes for a suplex but Hunter slides out down Ruiz’s back.

Howley: Doesn’t that mean they are at the same spot?
Moss: Hence the stalemate.
