Thoughts: It was fine. Hill and Cuter had a decent showing here. It was mostly bigger guys doing strikes and doing slams, shoulders and splashes. There was nothing wrong with this one.

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches here. Neither were must see but both were acceptable. 
You don't need to go see this one but it was an okay way to spend 20 minutes.

  1. Took me a while to realize Cutler James’s gimmick is based on Mr. Rogers. He started wearing the sweater vest and saying “neighborhood” related puns in his promos and it suddenly clicked for me.
