Stacks and Luca Crusafino vs Shiloh Hill and Jasper Troy

 

This is Shiloh Hill's debut and he has a real stupid name. They say Shiloh played football for Stanford and has three degrees from there.

Luca hits his hiptoss neckbreaker on Hill and Troy picks up Luca and takes him off the pin attempt. Hill lariats Troy over the top on accident then takes a shatter machine. Stacks then pins Hill.

Thoughts: It was just average. Hill was okay in his TV debut with no botches or sloppy moments but he has a stupid name and he needs better looking gear. Stacks and Luca debuted their new finisher here.

Kendal Grey is interviewed. She says it's a great opportunity to step in the ring with Izzi Dame tonight. She says her time is coming and says it's type to step into The Kendal Grey Area.

They lock up and Grey is backed up in the corner. Izzi throws her. Grey low crossbodies her while she is seated and Izzi backrolls into a slam on her. Grey hits a nice fireman's carry takeover then armlocks her.

Izzi nails Grey from behind after then slams her. Carlee Bright comes out and Izzi shoves her. Grey and Carlee double dropkick Izzi.

Thoughts: It wasn't as good as it could, should or will be in a few years but there were some positives to it. Grey's getting over with the crowd, she's good looking and she moves well. Izzi is starting to figure out how to wrestle like a monster and with her being decent on the mic, I think she's going to do well too. I liked Grey's backslide to win it and I still don't know how she fell out of the ring off snake eyes.

Price throws Chase then corner spears him. Price misses a corner spear and goes into the post. Chase top rope crossbodies him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a fun match with Chase deciding to do a bunch of flying moves. Price had a good showing here and came across well.

Overall thoughts: As usual, it was a decent 30 minute show. Nothing must see but the main was okay and there were some encouraging moments from Izzi and Grey in their match.
