Okada teases shaking his hand after then gives him the finger.

Thoughts: It was an average match for the most part. I didn't think it was anything too special. Okada really shouldn't be going to draws with Garcia, but it's not like he's been booked that strong. It went to a draw so we didn't get a great finish here. They probably needed a bit more time than they got in this one.

Overall thoughts: It was an average show overall. There wasn't anything must see though a couple of matches were acceptable. While the CC can give us some fun and unique matches, the matches are essentially random and don't do a whole lot to build to any future matches or give you a reason to tune in next week.. I'd give this one a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
