Thoughts: It was average. Deeb didn't even really work the submissions here like she usually does. I thought it was obvious Willow was winning this one and Deeb never wins any of her bigger matches.

The Beast Mortos vs Aaron Solo

Jake Roberts is not with Mort as usually is the case. Solo knees Mort in the corner and Mort shoulders him over. Solo spin kicks him. Mort backbreakers him then powerbomb backbreakers him. Mort spinning lariats him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a quick one here with Mort winning as expected.

Top Flight are in the back with Renee. Leila wants to know what happened in the battle royale. She says they are supposed to be a team but Lio and Andretti don't understand it. Andretti says they threw Dante and Darius out but it's a battle royale and it's every man for themselves. Darius says he's aware but wants to know why he kept Lio around. Darius wants to know why it became a team instead of a 4 person group. Lio says they kept losing and says they want to chase the title. Dante says they didn't have to do this and calls them stupid. They argue. Leila says if they want to fight, they won't do it here. Andretti says they need to settle this in the ring.

Thoughts: I still maintain that Andretti and Darius were a better team than Dante and Darius are. I think they tried to shoehorn Andretti in when Dante returned and it seems like they want to move on to other ideas.

Thoughts: I thought it was an average match. I just didn't think they matched up that well together and I didn't think it was super interesting. It also ended up getting more time than it really needed.

Overall thoughts: It was a pretty average night of wrestling. I didn't think anything was that great here. Mina vs Emi was ugly at times. We had a couple of new storyline developments with The OC vs Mox feud continuing on with FTR now involved, Hobbs wanting a shot at Takeshita and Top Flight fighting each other. I thought the show was a bit long and really wouldn't recommend it. I would give it a 4 out of 10.
