Thoughts: It was pretty standard fare here with the rudos taking over for the first half of the match then getting taken down during the second half of it. Neon had a spectacular dive fail and is hopefully okay here. It was fine for what it was but not particularly memorable other than Neon's botch.

Thoughts: I didn't like the spanish fly on the floor not meaning much. That should have put someone down. There weren't any real faces or heels here and it was more of an indy style match. They got a lot of time for this  but I didn't it was that good. They didn't botch though at least.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like the show. They had 4 women's matches here and none of them were that great. The two top matches didn't deliver. The Atlantis trios match wasn't that bad and neither was the opener minus the stuff with the mascots. I wouldn't recommend this one and didn't think anything was great here.
