Result: Perkins makes Metalik tap with the Knee Bar to win the Cruiserweight Title (17:49).

Rating: It was a great last-minute twist for Triple H to come out and announce that the match would be for the gorgeous-looking Cruiserweight Title. Impressively, neither wrestler showed much rust from their intense battles earlier in the night and turned in a superbly-paced, epically long final.

Both men fought with nothing held back, the crowd were white-hot, and while not the best match of the CWC or even the night...it was still an extremely entertaining way to close things out. The final top-rope reversal didn't look quite as smooth as it could have, but it was still a remarkable end to a terrific tournament, and it's great to see Perkins get the push he so thoroughly deserves.

Plus, how awesome was that post-match victory speech? 8/10
