Result: Dunne drills Gibson with the Bitter End to retain the title (17:46).

Rating: Gibson sure looked like a million bucks here, having been built up as an unstoppable heel over the course of the tournament, which paid off splendidly in this dramatic, intense title match.

The closing minutes were especially fantastic: Dunne sold the Shankly Gates perfectly to the extent that it really seemed like a loss was on the cards.

Dunne eventually scraped the win, though, and even in defeat Gibson looked like a bonafide talent. Everything here worked as well as you'd hope, and one suspects a rematch in the near-future could be even better. 8/10
