Saturday SLA Results From Alton, IL

-Promoter Pierre Abernathy told the audience at the start of the show that Chris Hero's flight had been delayed, so the show would have additional matches to give Hero as much time as possible to make it to the venue for his scheduled bout.
-Kevin Lee Davidson, Sean Orleans, & Kody Krash d. Justin D'Air & The K.C. Wolves(Luke Langley & Graham Bell) when K.L.D. pinned Langley after the spinebuster (14:02).
-"The Money" Matt Cage d. Paco Gonzalez by countering an anklelock attempt into a victory roll for the pin (13:55).  Alex Castle tried for a sneak attack after the match, but Cage saw him coming and Castle backed off...leading to Cage vowing vengeance in their last-man-standing match at tomorrow night's show.

-Mat Fitchett d. Gerald James(w/ Dorian Victor) in a best-of-three-falls match to win the Heavyweight title, ending James' 28-month(862-day) title reign.  James scored a quick first fall with the Michinoku Driver (3:24).  Fitchett rallied to even things up after two torture-rack reverse-Go-2-Sleeps (6:13).  Things got crazy as Fitchett lawndarted James into the wall, then got a near-fall after a cradle piledriver.  Fitchett countered an attempted piledriver onto the ring apron by backdropping Gerald on the edge of the ring, but Gerald came back with a flying DDT off the second rope that spiked Fitchett's head into the edge of the ring.  A bloody Fitchett was able to fight back, delivering a cradle piledriver on the floor and then one more in the ring to finally capture the title (11:28)!
-After the match, Fitchett was assisted to the backstage area for medical attention...Dorian Victor and Christian Rose checked on the fallen ex-champion, but then Rose turned on James and Victor and laid them out.  After recovering, James thanked the fans for their respect (whether they loved or hated him)...
