Thoughts: I didn't like it. It had the usual OC issues where despite it being a title match of major importance, he still found time to screw around and turn it into a joke. This would have been fine without him and had he not screwed around during the finish, I might have even been able to excuse his shenanigans.

Dean takes corner attacks and Shafir joins in. Pac running lariats Dean. Mox hits a death rider ddt on Dean and pins him.
Thoughts: The BCC/Death Riders have had problems from the start trying to figure out what they are. This is another example of it. They were basically faces here even though they are supposed to be some vicious heels. The match was entertaining. The Infantry showed a lot. They were funny, they took big bumps and they did some nice heel work. This could have been a pointless match but it got time and ended up being a lot of fun. I enjoyed this a lot more than expected.

Thoughts: It was a short squash as expected with the jobbers getting run over. I'd really like to see them give Wild and Mars some chances to see if they can get over.
Cage and Jake go after Takeshita, who is entering and security holds them back.
AEW International Title Match - Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Daniel Garcia
This is a random one. KT side headlock takeovers DG. DG headscissors him. DG backs up KT in the corner and double chops his chest. DG side headlocks him and KT shoulders him over.

The Don Callis Family jumps KT after. Shane Taylor Promotions then jumps Mox. Mike Bailey and The Conglomeration then join the fight. Lee Moriarty and Carlie Bravo mess with Nigel. Nigel nails Bravo. The faces send the heels out. The Conglomeration and The Death Riders stand off in the ring.
Thoughts: There was a lot going on here and I'm curious to see where it goes. I'd be up for some wild battle royale or some big stable battle.
Overall thoughts: The opener had the usual issues with Orange Cassidy matches where he screws around in serious bouts. Hazuki/Maya was okay. Lee Moriarty won a random squash. The Death Riders vs The Infantry was a lot of fun and much better than it had any right to be. I also liked The Dogs vs The Gunns. Cage and Doyle won a squash. The main was a decent bout and we had an interesting brawl to close the show. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as we had some decent but random wrestling here.
