Super X Cup Quarterfinal: Ace Austin vs. Suicide
1 OF 9

The Super X Cup kicked off with two former X-Division champions doing battle as “The Inevitable” Ace Austin squared off with Suicide.
Suicide frustrated his opponent early, trapping him in a surfboard submission in an attempt to force a tapout. He failed to do so but sent Austin to the floor, staved off attempted interference from the massive Madman Fulton and wiped the heel out with a dive from the ring apron.
Austin sent Suicide into the ring steps, though, to turn things in his favor. A brief display of control by Austin gave way to a comeback by the masked vigilante of Impact that included a series of open-palm thrusts. Austin answered, rocking Suicide with a springboard kick for a two-count.
Suicide tried to build momentum but another momentary distraction from Fulton allowed Austin to halt him. Suicide still managed to recover and deliver a modified brainbuster for a near-fall.
Yet another distraction from Fulton allowed Austin to catch Suicide with The Fold for the win.
Result
Austin defeated Suicide
Grade
C+
Analysis
Not only did this result in a big win for Austin and his advancement into the next round of competition, it also set up Fulton to be a major factor throughout the remainder of the tournament. His constant distractions certainly helped Austin to victory here and will likely contribute in whatever success The Inevitable has going forward.
The in-ring chemistry was strong and there was certainly a flow the performers got into as the match progressed. Were there a few iffy spots? Sure, but one can only imagine what Austin and Suicide would have been capable of had they not been forced into time constraints due to the format of the show.
