Thoughts: It was similar to the last match. There was a lot of friendly fire here which I didn't like. Yes, you want to catch people on dives but there's no excuse for doing topes to your own brother and spearing people into your partner. The Gem's didn't add a lot to this one but I thought the match was okay. They just didn't do as good of a job as the people in the last match did.

Thoughts: This went long at 27 minutes. It didn't really need all the time it got. Hech worked the arm some here but didn't really target it and Mist didn't do much arm work before winning with an arm submission. It was notable for the time it got and we did get to see them do more than usual just simply because the match was long but I didn't think it was great. I thought it was average.

Overall thoughts: I was fine with the first four matches and I really liked the Okumura and Villanos matches. The Volador match was more an angle than a match but the mascots fighting was fun. The main got a ton of time at 27 minutes but wasn't the classic they tried for and I thought it was just average. The women were noticably missing from this show. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 overall but wouldn't recommend it.
