The first half was fine but they got stupid in the 2nd half with no selling canadian destroyers and spanish flies and just doing too much. Lanzelot also just seems to kind of pause at random times which hurts what he tries to do.

Jack tries for a code red and needs help from Greene to get him over. Green tope's someone on the outside then Kaito and Jake trade jumping knees. Jack flying knees Doc for 2. Jack double underhook powerbombs Doc and wins it.

This was an extremely lazy main event. They did virtually nothing until the 17 minute mark or so. There was just no effort whatsoever from anyone. Seriously, the Doctor Wagner powerbomb was probably the biggest spot in this one. That's how weak it was.

Overall thoughts: I skipped two matches and wasn't much of a fan of this. The crowd couldn't cheer and brought down everything and the wrestlers were just not trying their best.
