Thoughts: It went long and Atlantis got injured pretty early on, which changed the match up a lot. Blue did a nice job firing up and trying to make up for it but you could tell they were working on the fly a bit. It wasn't bad for the circumstances but did drag a little.

The announcer then closes the show.

Overall thoughts: The opener wasn't that good as expected. The second and third matches were both a lot of fun. The third match was the best match on the show. I didn't care for the women's match or the semi main. The main had issues with Atlantis getting injured soon into it but they did what they could with it and it wasn't that bad. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the good was better than the bad. The show was okay overall.

WWE LFG 5/24/2026 Season 3, Episode 5

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-lfg-5172026-season-3-episode-4.html

We are at the Performance Center. Elijah Holyfield is back from injury. Johnny Russo, who is the lead writer of NXT, says he likes to write out promos then have the wrestler tweak it to make it feel like it's theirs. Elijah says he's back to establish himself and show everyone he would have won if he didn't get injured in season 2 of WWE LFG.

Elijah Holyfield does a promo in the ring at the NXT Arena. He says he was building momentum then he tore his bicep. He says he got p!ssed as if he didn't get injured, he would have won LFG Season 2. He says his body was out for 5 months but his mind kept gaining knowledge. He says now that he's healed, anyone who faces him is in for a scary sight. He says his body and mind are stronger. He says his uppercut is ready to break jaws.

Matt Bloom, Booker T, Natalya, Kevin Owens and Bubba are there. Tonight is Braxton Cole vs Andre Chase. Bloom says Chase is a mechanic. Bubba says they aren't bringing him to LFG, but borrowing him from NXT. Kali Armstrong is called a stud by Bloom and she's facing Sirena Linton.

Nathan Cranton then fights Elijah Holyfield. Bloom wants Elijah to build on what he started. Booker says this is more of an opportunity for Nathan.

Owens says he doesn't have a match and asks if he can do commentary. Booker is bothered by this. Owens says Booker blazed the trail. Booker then laughs.

Andre Chase, who is now fired, talks about himself. He says he does it all here in NXT. He says he's been in NXT for 5 years and has been wrestling for 19 years. He says he was a young wrestler once. He says he got better from more experienced wrestlers giving him feedback. Chase says Cole takes feedback well. Bubba says it's smart guy vs smart guy.

Bubba talks to Chase and Cole. He says the fans don't know Cole is smart and they need to show the fans that. Bubba says a heel cheats as they can't outwrestle the face. Cole says Bubba is the perfect coach for him and he needs to manipulate people. Cole says the goal is put on TV level performance so he can get on NXT.

Owens asks Booker T for advice. Booker tells him to stick to the stats and add some soundbytes. Owens wants to use the shucky ducky quack quack line.

Owens, Vic Joseph and Jeremy Borash are on commentary for the next match.

Thoughts: I didn't see a lot of the story outside of the finish. The bout was acceptable though with no real botches, just there was not so much story.

Bubba talks to Cole and Chase after. Bubba says the book was the finish and everyone needed to know about the book. Bubba says he wanted to see him reading the book and says he wanted to see the ref take it from him. Bubba says he doesn't expect Cole to know that.

Bloom talks to Chase and Cole. Bloom tells him to get heat before the pin and tells him not to be afraid to make an @ss out of yourself. Bloom thanks Chase for doing this. Bloom says he sees Cole getting better. Chase says Cole listens.

Kali kicks her in the gut. SL backrolls her for 2. SL back elbows her then misses a flip off the top. Kali powerslams her. Kali runs the ropes and running shoulders her over. Kali pins her.

Thoughts: The crowd didn't react as much as they should have. Linton looked a lot better here than she did in the past and they had a power vs flying match. This wasn't bad.

Natalya says both girls did great and loved Linton's monkey flip. Kali boots her in the gut and hits corner spears. Nat says she loves Kali as a heel. Bloom tells them to stick with the simple stories and puts over the reverse monkey flip spot.

Linton is crying and says she wants to be the best. Bloom tells her to try and enjoy moments like this.

Eli flying shoulders him and then shoulders him over. Eli spinebusters him. NC misses a rainmaker and NC does a great sell for an uppercut. Eli pins him.

Thoughts: I liked the finish a lot as it was safe and looked good. NC was noticeably thinner here than he was on Evolve. I think NC needed to show a bit more personality here. This was basically all about waiting for Eli's comeback where he could be explosive. The finish helped this one but it wasn't the most exciting bout. I'd say it was average.

Booker loves the match in the back. Eli says this match gave him confidence. Shawn Michaels talks to them. He says they are going to make everyone scared of Eli's right hand. Shawn says people can't be tossing him around.

NC says it's great to always get feedback and says he was told to sell his size more. Eli says it'll be the start of a great season and he'll be ready if he gets the contract.

Overall thoughts: It was a pretty straight forward and understandable show. It made sense. The coaches talked about the match before it happened and then we heard from the wrestlers. The match happened then they reviewed the match afterwards. This was fine and there was nothing wrong with this show, though it's not must see TV.

We see clips from the last show.

Mamba, Hell, Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo De Silver King, Silver King Jr, Simon Blanco, Texano Jr., Big Mama and Mini Rey Mysterio all talk.

Dr. Wagner Jr. talks with his crew in the back. 3 wrestlers interrupt (I think it's Emperador Azteca, Rey Mictlán and El Hijo de Canis Lupus) and seem to have issues with them. They argue and the 3 wrestlers leave. Wagner's crew talks amongst themselves.

Lupus has the black and white on. Rey has the green and red on. Emp has the all black on. Simon has the white boots with the black mask and black pants. King Jr has a gray and black singlet on. Hijo de Silver King has the black and red mask on.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything too great and was just so-so. Simon throws nice lariats but he's not the most flexible. The Silver King's did okay and Emperador Azteca held this one together mostly. I was surprised to see the Wagner relatives lose this one.

Chessman talks to Hell in the back. He says something to the effect of they are ready and calls their opponents fat. Burger Boy comes in and greets Chess but Chess leaves. Hell then goes to talk to Chess more and leaves Burger Boy alone in the room.

Burger Boy & Legion Oscura (Chessman & Hell Boy) vs. Puerquiza Extrema (Pig Destroyer, Pig Destructor & Pig Pool)

Chess trips Hell up and Burger and Chess argue to the back.

Hell faces 3 opponents in the ring and hits shots on them. Hell takes a pop-up sitout powerbomb. Destructor top rope splashes him and the Pigs dogpile pin Hell to win.

Thoughts: Chessman turned on his team for no real reason and cost then the match. We didn't see much of Chess' team at all here and they got little offense in. The Pig's are all heavier guys but there's some charm to what they do. This wasn't that good.

Pig Pool talks on the mic after and starts an "Ole" chant. Destructor and Destroyer then talk.

Next week's show has Burger Boy and Big Mama talking, a 4-way women's match and Cibernetico & Pirata Morgan vs. El Texano Jr. & Rey Wagner.

Overall thoughts: Like last week, it wasn't that good. There were only 2 matches shown and that seems to be the format going forward. The opener was so-so here and the main was essentially a squash. We also got a decent bit of talking in Spanish which I could only understand so much of. I wouldn't recommend this at all and would just give it a 4 out of 10.

Mick talks about Jon Moxley asking Mick to see Darby before AEW, as he says he was told he could do anything. Mick says seeing him succeeds is like seeing himself succeeds as Darby is the weird kid. He says to win one for the weird ones. Mick then says "bang bang".

Thoughts: They did too much for the opener here. How do you really top barbed wire, fire, spike sticks and run-in's in the first match? It was a pretty quick moving match. I would have liked some blood, which we oddly didn't get, a slower pace and just more drama over big spots. I still liked it, but they got very little out of the "I Quit" concept here.

Takeshita does a subtitled video where he says a photo is more than an image and can tell stories about how your journey can begin and remind you of your sacrifices to chase goals. He says it can show you where you are going. He says the final image will show him beating Okada.

KT corner facekicks KO. KT top rope superplexes him inside. KT forearms him then reaches between his legs and germans him for 2. KO tombstones him. They trade forearms. KT blue thunders him. KO tilt-a-whirl slams him. KO backslides him into a short-arm lariat. KO dropkicks him.

KO goes for the rainmaker and is lariated by KT. KO dropkicks him then KT pumping knees him for 1. KT hits raging fire on KO for the win.

Thoughts: The selling was poor here as often is the case with Takeshita. They hit a lot of big moves then they would just pop back up after. I liked Don getting involved at times and it's too bad they couldn't further it. They kept up a fast pace here and kept things moving but there wasn't a ton of story. KT kind of was the face in this. It wasn't the smart match it could have been and I thought they had potential for a lot more of a story in this than what we got.

Rocky and Mark Davis get in the ring with Don and Okada. KT stands across from all 4 of them like it's about to be a 4v1 fight. Kyle Fletcher then comes out. Kyle stares down KT then stares down with Okada. Don, Rocky, Okada and Mark leave Kyle and KT in the ring. Kyle hugs KT. Kyle holds up KT's arm and lariats him. Don and Okada smile. Kyle grabs KT by the head and brainbusters him.

Kyle and Okada both grab the title but Okada lets Kyle grab it. Kyle hits KT with the title.

Thoughts: The turn made no sense. Don has always talked about wanting more gold and even stopped Okada from tombstoning KT on the floor. Why would Don want to kick a champ out of his group? That's Mr. Fuji leaving Demolition while they were tag champs for The Powers of Pain all over again.

Thoughts: Ath winning was kind of a surprise as this isn't ROH and she has lost a lot here. Mina worked Ath's leg a bit here but Ath overcame it to win. It was acceptable but nothing too memorable.

Thoughts: I liked it. They kept it moving and didn't go too crazy here. They ended it at the right time too. The backwards throw Will took into the rails looked rough. They definitely channeled some of the Joe/AJ matches a bit. I'm not sure where Joe goes here with the loss and it seems like his little storyline with Will is now done.

Thoughts: I didn't like the poisonrana off the apron not meaning much when that should have ended this. Oddly, Band sold that move more than Swerve did. It didn't go too long at least and Band really did ry to sell his neck here. They didn't go too too far with this and they kept it interesting, so this was okay overall.

Thoughts: MJF won as expected. He's close to home and he paid too much for that hair to lose it. They overdid it as expected and Darby took some terrible looking bumping as he always does. It could have been sped up a bit more at times and the finishing stretch could have been better. I was alright with this overall.

DA is put on a stretcher after. MJF stands on him and holds the title up. Kevin Knight comes down and chases MJF away. Kevin then top rope 180 splashes Darby on the stretcher to end the show.

Thoughts: That was a surprise. Kevin was doing fine as a face and I don't love to turn faces who got organically over. We will see what he looks like as a heel, but they have a heel like him and it's Ricochet and he can do more than Kevin can. Ricochet is just older.

Overall thoughts: It was a very good PPV from AEW. The only match I didn't like all that much was Okada/Takeshita as they didn't sell. The wrestlers gave the typical PPV level effort with everyone going all out and giving their all. The women's matches were better than expected. Stadium Stampede was my match of the night and Ospreay/Joe was done pretty well too. As always, they could have done a little less in most of the matches, but it wasn't as egregious as usual. I also do wish they could get the length down as this went over 4 hours as it's an endurance contest for me, especially when the show goes past midnight. I'd give this an 8 out of 10.

Thoughts: We knew Idol had won already. Like with Markova, I expect him to be champ at the Anniversary show then lose it. What we got wasn't bad but we only saw some of it. Idol works more of a moved based style so he works a little better with Idol than other's would.

El Diabolico does a promo. He says WWC is coming to his town. He says he has the lost soul Xavant in his way. He asks what makes him think that he can dance at his house?

He says he will take him to the real school of wrestling and Xavant will find out why he's the real danger incarnate of wrestling.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he has his hands full with 2 matches. He tells Lightning to get his fists ready because he's ready to fight him. He says Lightning is a legend but he's betting on himself and will win that fight.

We go back to Bryan vs Intelecto Cinco Estrellas. Bryan is taking a group beating. Eddie Colon and Carlito Colon come out to help beat him up. Chicano comes out with a chair and hits Orly, Leyenda and Sole. The heels then leave. Bryan and Chicano bump into each other. Chicano gets his chair ready but they hug.

Eddie Colon talks. He says Chicano hasn't learned that he was voted out. Chicano says he heard Eddie and his brother say the trash needs taken out. He says it gave him a great idea. He says at the 53rd Anniversary Show, it should be Bryan and Chicano vs Eddie and Carlito. He says there should be two trash can's/dumpsters and the two who fall into the trash can's/dumpsters lose.

Eddie says he's the boss and asked who gave him authority to set up matches. Chicano asks if he says yes or no. Carlito says what Chicano doesn't understand is that Eddie is in charge. Carlito says Chicano can't make an offer and Carlito says no. Chicano then asks Victor Jovica who gives the thumbs up. He says he'll see him at the 53rd Anniversary Show.

Joe Bravo does a promo on facing Chicano today. He says life has put them in different places. He says he can imagine the amount of nonsense Chicano said and thought when he found out he was facing him. Joe says he doesn't care what Chicano says. He says Chicano knows that what awaits him is not easy at the show. Joe says let's see if Chicano can last 5 minutes with him.

Chicano does a promo. he tells Joe Bravo to lace his boots up tight and says he'll need it for the tears he will make him shed. He says he'll see him in a few hours.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He invites everyone to come to the free show and says he will do a meet and greet. He says he'll be waiting for the fans and says checkmate.

Axel and Abel then close the show. They talk about the free show today.

La Tigresa does a promo. She says the 53rd Anniversary show is dedicated to her. She says she grew up and learned in WWC and says she wants to share the tribute with all of her fans. She say she'll be waiting for us.

Overall thoughts: There wasn't a lot to see here. It was almost all promos and hype for the free the show today. We saw clips of 3 matches here and Rivera/Idol looked like the best one on this show. I wouldn't really recommend this and just thought it was average for WWC standards. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

AAA on Fox 5/23/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/aaa-on-fox-5162026.html

We are in Mexico City, Mexico. Corey Graves, JBL and Savio Vega are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hang out. It seems like there are audio issues as we can't hear the commentators for this segment.

Chessman, Dorian, Marisela, Cibernetico, Texano Jr., the Mexican announcer Jesus and others are in the ring. Various wrestlers surround the ring and Dominik Mysterio is watching in the back. There is no English commentary for this segment.

We see a video on the history of AAA. We then hear new translator talk (who we are told is Savio Vega) and he says they are introducing a new GM. Marisela Pena says today sets the path for the future of this company. She says the new GM is a visionary who understands the heart of wrestling. She says this person will take AAA to a new era. The new GM is Rey Mysterio. We then hear JBL and Graves.

Rey Mysterio comes out. JBL complains and says there will be riots everywhere. Dom Mysterio and Dorian Roldan are both upset about this. Savio Vega says hi to everyone. Rey Mysterio talks. He says he had a dream 30 years ago and says AAA gave him the one opportunity he asked for. He says he found a new family in AAA 30 years ago and returns as a GM.

Rey says he will take the company to a bigger level. Rey announces that the AAA Cruiserweight Title will be up for grabs now and it's Laredo Kid vs Rey Fenix.

Kid then top rope frogsplashes Rey and pins him.

Thoughts: Kid's fake knockout at the end was pretty good here and he did some great selling for it. This just further confirms his heel turn. I didn't like this otherwise. They didn't sell much at all and the canadian destroyer ddt meant nothing.

Next week is the start of La Noche de Las Grandes and the big El Grande Americano Original vs El Grande Americano II mask match will happen next week.

Rey Mysterio talks to Laredo Kid in the back and Spanish. Rey complains about Kid won. Kid says a win is a win. Rey says Kid will face Rey Fenix again next week at Noche de los Grandes.

Rayo comes in and hits The Creedos with a kendo stick. BC is laid on a table. Bravo top rope splashes him through the table. Bravo loads up his mask on the ropes. He flying headbutts JC while Rayo russian legsweeps him. El Grande Americano Original belly to belly suplexes Bravo through a table. He then throws Rayo from the apron through the commentary table.

El Grande Americano II comes out. He hits Los Creedos with a chair. The Grande's argue in the ring but neither touches the other. Grande II gets on the mic and talks about what Grande Original did to him. Grande II gets him upset and Grande Original gets in the ring. Grande Original takes his jacket off and he has a shirt on with Grande II's girlfriend on it.

Grande II goes to hit him but Rayo and Bravo stop him. Los Creedos then stop Grande Original from going after Grande II. Grande Original and Grande II then hit each other at the same time, so no one will get in trouble. They fight and everyone, including security, tries to break it up.

Rey Mysterio comes out. He tells everyone to relax. He says they made a big mess on his first day as GM. He says he won't let this ruin the mask match next week and they start fighting again. Other wrestlers then come out to break the fight up. The match ends due to a no contest and everyone fights.

Thoughts: The match was very hard to call because the two teams look so much alike. Rayo has blue on his outfit which makes him look like Bravo. And in various positions, it's hard to tell The Creed's apart with masks on. They did about as good as they could without being able to get blood and without being able to do anything crazy. We got flying, brawling and various weapons shots. The crowd was into it too. The Grande vs Grande feud is easily the feud of the year and even their fights outside the ring have been entertaining. I thought they handled them hitting each other well here. Yeah, this was Los Creedos vs Los Americanos, but the real feud is here is Grande vs Grande and they did that well. This was good and effective. We didn't get a finish, but it didn't even matter.

We get a video with some comic graphics that covers the Grande vs Grande feud.

Overall thoughts: The biggest match of the year is happening next week with El Grande Americano Original vs El Grande Americano II in the mask vs mask match. No, it won't get as much talk or as many views as anything at Mania did, but everyone who has been following AAA is hyped for that bout. It's been very well booked. The two have done some great brawls to lead up to it. El Grande II has become the second most over face in Mexico next to Mistico and the whole thing has just been massive success. I never watch AAA live, but I'm not missing that match for anything. They did a great job building up that match in the go home show and that's all that matters.

I didn't like Rey/Laredo. It was indy wrestling and not my thing. We didn't get a finish in the main but the main and post-main shenanigans was good enough and it didn't matter. I love Savio Vega, but he was not good on commentary here. He's a great wrestler and an even better booker, but he wasn't fast or accurate enough as a translator and couldn't provide a lot. He's also a Puerto Rican wrestling guy, not a lucha guy and because those styles are so different, he can't really provide a lot of the insights on lucha like Rey can. Maybe he can get better, but it was not a good night for him.

As I alluded to though, it doesn't matter. They needed to get one thing right here with the mask vs mask match and they knocked it out of the park. This gets a 7 out of 10 from me and it was a good show.

WOW Women of Wrestling 5/23/2026 Season 6, Episode 33

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wow-women-of-wrestling-5162026-season-6.html

We are in Las Vegas on Freemont Street. David McLane and Nigel Zane are on commentary.

Top Tier comes out. Coach Campanelli says she will show why the world why she leads the best team in wrestling. She says she chose Xena Phoenix as she wants to show Xena at her peak. She says she wants to show the strength at the top of Top Tier and says she will show Coach Tip #1 - Coach always ends up on top.

Coach Campanelli vs Xena Phoenix

They lock up. CC cravates her. Xena rolls her up twice then armdrags her twice. Xena suplexes her for 2. CC dropkicks her, sending her headfirst into the buckles. CC pulls her hair around the 2nd rope. CC clubs on her and knees her in the back. CC dragon screws her. CC hits knees to the face.

CC swinging neckbreakers her for 2. Xena rolls her up for 2. Xena hits lariats then arm throws her. Xena shoulders her over. Xena hits a corner splash. CC airplane spins her and does a twisting killswitch. CC pins her.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout but it went well. Xena wasn't bad as a face and Coach worked fine with her. I don't love Xena losing clean like this though as she's one of the most talented girls on the roster and deserves better.

Coach talks after. She says Coach always ends up on top. She says one would think the assessments are done but she has something to show us.We see clips of Glitter and Krush arguing in the back. We see Glitter hitting Xena in the back of the leg with a steel pipe before their 5/2 match which made Xena limp to the ring. Coach says they have to wrestle again because of it. Glitter and Krush shove each other.

Thoughts: They didn't explain the attack on Xena well and if you don't watch regularly, you wouldn't have any idea what they are talking about.

The Enlightened are interviewed. Samantha Smart says Scout Parker knows nature is about survival of the fittest and has the opportunity to be around The Enlightened and learn a thing or two.

Scout Parker is interviewed. She says her game plan is to bring her force of nature tonight and she's ready to show The Enlightened what her balance of enlightenment is.

Dr. Pam Demonium vs Scout Parker

Pam wristlocks Scout. Scout uses the ropes to flip out. Pam armlocks her, goes to lick her and is armdragged. Scout armdrags her into another pin attempt. Scout flying shoulders her then pumping knees her. Scout enzugiri's her. They go out and Pam lariats Scout on the floor. Pam hits a stroke on her for 2.

Pam camel clutches her and butt drops her back. Pam neckbreakers her for 2. Pam stomps her. Scout flying headscissors her then flying back elbows her. Scout spin kicks her on the 2nd rope for 2. Scout standing moonsaults her for 2. Scout flying corner lariats her. The Classmaster hits Scout from the apron then Pam does a botched 2nd rope diving ddt for the win.

Thoughts: Things were going okay, then they had to botch the finish, which made his end on a sour note. Scout as a face wasn't a good idea on paper and it's really not working.

The Enlightened grab Scout after. Classmaster hits a big chop on Scout and Scout goes down. The Mighty Mights come out and pull Scout of the ring. This post-match beatdown was one of the weakest ones I've ever seen.

The Enlightened are interviewed after. Pam asks if Scout will be ready for them. Pam says they will be back for enlightenment and won't give up on her. They say she will be enlightened.

Brooklyn Love does a promo from the tennis courts. She says Full Throttle is burning rubber right into Monsters and Metal. She says they will put pedal to the metal and there's only one outcome - they run you down and lead you into the dust. She tells Monsters and Metal to get ready to get flattened.

Next week has Penelope Pink vs Genesis in a WOW World Title match.

WOW Tag Titles - Miami's Sweet Heat (Lindsay and Laurie Carlson) (c) vs Best 4 Business (Sandy Shore and Kara Kai) vs Ashley Blaze and Tara Strike

All 6 girls fight. Tara and Blaze get sent out. B4B get on MSH's backs and are rammed into the corners. B4B hits stereo sunset flips on B4B. Kai avoids corner splashes and tags in Tara. Tara hits a strike combo on Laurie then leg lariats her for 2.

Tara legsweeps Laurie and Blaze bottom rope sentons Laurie. Blaze suplexes Laurie for 2. Blaze backrolls Lindsay then dropkicks her for 2. Blaze crossbodies Lindsay then Lindsay boots Blaze. Shore rolls up Lindsay then is thrown backwards. Shore is double booted in the corner. Kai takes a double suplex from MSH.

Kai hurricanrana's Lindsay for 2. Blaze is caught off the 2nd rope and Tara 2nd rope dropkicks them over. Kai pulls Blaze out of the ring. Shore natural selection's Laurie for 2. Laurie takes a double hip attack then a double spin kick for 2.

Tara takes shots from Shore in the corner. Shore chinlocks her. Tara high kicks Shore then Shore pulls her down backwards. Shore curbstomps Tara for 1. B4B and MSH fight. MSH are pulled out by them. B4B are knocked off the apron and Tara dives on them off the apron.

Blaze then topes everyone. Kai does a tequila shot variation on Tara. Blake TKO's Kai. Laurie spinning lariats Blaze. Shore code red's Laurie then Lindsay lariats Shore. Animal Instinct come out. Tara high kicks Lindsay then Laurie is hit with a double superkick. Animal Instinct beat up MSH outside. Blaze hits a knee to the face to a B4b member while Tara buzzsaw kicks a B4B member. Blaze and Tara both pick up pins and win the tag titles!

Thoughts: So the finish likely happened as Animal Instinct said they wanted Miami's Sweet Heat on the 2/14 episode. But...that was February and there's been no updates since so it came off as being random even though it wasn't. The match wasn't that bad for how many people were involved. I probably would have had B4B beat Strike/Blaze by cheating somehow which would force a rematch and build up to Strike/Blaze winning. Instead, Strike/Blaze got the decisive win here and I don't know that we need to see them face B4B again.

Overall thoughts: The show was alright. In-ring wise, it was the usual quality. Coach/Xena wasn't bad and Xena carried Coach to one of her better matches. Pam/Scout had a botched finish which hurt things. The main was fine and we had a title change. How that played out could have been done better though. We've got some clear things set up for the future like MSH/Animal Instinct, Brooklyn Love's crew vs Monsters and Metal and The Enlightened/Scout Parker. I'd give it a higher 5 out of 10 as they did some things well but could have improved on some other things. It was above average.
