Thoughts: I liked this and I thought it was okay. They had nice logic here. Wolfgang got involved since there were no rules, which he should have done. The heels had the edge on the faces all match long until they tied up Wolf. The Good's then won. It was mostly weapons shots but it worked and it was one of The Good's better matches.

Thoughts: The bellringer messed up the finish here. I was really surprised to see MS win after Zamaya was pushed so hard here for so long. I don't agree with that move, but it was kind of a lose-lose situation since Masha is knew and also needed a win. It was average as the finish brought this down.

Thoughts: It was a rushed three-way. It was a free for all with people doing whatever and the longer it went on the less I liked it. The lucha matches kind of happen in their own universe here and it's hard to care because they don't matter that much. It wasn't that good.

Thoughts: It's hard to rate this one. The video cut out for several minutes twice during the match. I don't know who was responsible for it but the minutes that were missed seemed important and Josh definitely got bloodied up during them. I can tell you this didn't get a ton of time though and it was not an epic. Some of the stuff like them going into the stands and using trash can lids also didn't work here as it was already done earlier in the show. No rating for this one, but what I did see did not look great. I thought Kross was doing well as champ but MLW is doing a bunch of roster changes and I have a feeling that played into his losing. I don't think Josh Bishop is a finished product yet or that over yet and I think he's going to have to grow into his role as champ.
Overall thoughts: The opener was my favorite match on the show and that was an okay match. Zamaya/Masha was average. Keyra/Tessa wasn't good. Aries/Riddle was a long 30 minute draw and it was not good at all. The lucha 3-way was rushed and not that good. Yota/Lee was rushed as well and was sprinty at times. The feed cut out during the main cut out twice. I don't know whose fault it was, but we missed some key parts to the match and I can't really rate the main because of it. I can tell you that the main had some stuff in it that we had seen in other matches and that hurt it.
I didn't like the show that much. It seemed like Riddle/Aries went too long because everything after it felt rushed. That hurt those bouts. There was a fair bit of disconnect here from the TV as a lot of Contra members were not wrestling and people like Dijak, Jumbo, Shotzi and others who have been featured were not here at all. The crowd was also either not that good or not mic'd well and that hurt the matches too. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall and it was below average.
