Thoughts: It was a longer and slower match. The finish was out of nowhere and I didn't like it. I didn't care for the match that much. Star was toned down a lot more than usual and he just didn't have a great comeback. The crowd wasn't that much into it either and did not help things. This was disappointing.

Mag stomps Mist then corner meteora's him. Mist flying headscissors him then springboard twisting crossbodies him. Mist then taps him out with la mistica and wins.

Thoughts: Like the last match, it got a lot of time and was a bit slower than usual. I thought Mist should have sold the moonsault into the double boots a little better here. I thought Mist's comeback in the end got ruined a bit which hurt the ending. It was still a decent match overall but it could have been better.

Overall thoughts: We got three longer matches here and all of them got plenty of time which was nice. The trios was probably the best match and the main was fine just not as good as it could have been. Ultimo/Star was disappointing and neither gut really seemed to give their best effort for that one. It was decent overall but I wouldn't recommend it.
