Alright, let's finish up the regional semifinals, but first, we'll look at the action from the first slate of those matches yesterday:
Berwyn Eagles Club
#1 CM Punk d. #4 Robert Roode, 69-8
#3 Alberto del Rio d. #7 Athena, 47-25
Turners Hall
#9 Tim Donst d. #4 Jessicka Havok, 42-29
#2 Daniel Bryan d. #3 ACH, 59-14
And now, the rest of the Sweet Sixteen. First up, we have the American Legion region, where #1 Kevin Steen takes on #12 Mark Henry. Steen defeated Courtney Rush and AR Fox, while Henry dispatched Tucor, Jeff Hardy, and Kane. This is a hoss fight if I ever saw one. Who will win, the Hoss King of the Indies, or the man SO hossy that he created the Hall of Pain and gained a legion of people who wanted to be inducted voluntarily? In the other match, #2 Austin Aries will take on #3 El Generico. Aries took out Jaykus Plisken and Cheerleader Melissa, while Generico did away with Kyle Matthews and Wade Barrett. This is match that happened most recently in 2008 in PWG. Generico won that match, but Aries has not only conquered ROH but TNA since then. Will Generico have an answer for him?

Getting to the Easton Funplex region, our first match will pit #1 Eddie Kingston against #4 Antonio Cesaro. Kingston defeated Arik Royal and LuFisto, while Cesaro beat Silas Young and Amazing Kong. This dormant feud which never got a resolution in Chikara will come to a head here. Will Kingston get his ultimate delayed revenge, or will the Swiss Stalwart take the upset and the next step towards world wrestling domination? Finally, #2 Johnny Gargano will take on #3 Rachel Summerlyn. Gargano took out Big E. Langston and Michael Elgin, while Summerlyn whooped both Steve Corino's and Mark Angelosetti's rear ends. Gargano recently passed 500 days as Open the Freedom Gate Champion, but can he withstand the fierceness and force of Summerlyn?

VOOOOOOOTE~!
