I thought they did too much here and it had the usual OC comedy going on which I didn't like.

This was all squash here with the jobbers getting nothing in.

They did way too much here in this fast paced and flying match. They could have stopped at the blue thunder spot which the crowd liked, but they just had to keep going.

It was a good, fast paced tag. Pretty much what you would expect here with the faces doing a lot of flips and the heels getting some offense in as well.

Overall thoughts: A good main always helps out a show and it did here. It was the only thing I liked on this show though and I don't recommend this one. Takeshita and Komander did too much and the opener had the usual OC comedy bits. May and Toni won a squash here where the jobbers got nothing in.
