Kyle says he's being told they are out of time and have to go. Idol says it's his time and we cut away.

Thoughts: This was an okay segment putting over Idol as a heel. It's not a good look though when the promoter is being called cheap.

Knox and Murdoch are interviewed by Kyle Davis in the back. Murdoch says he's tired of it all. He says he's tired of politicians telling him to hate someone because of what they think and he's tired of people going to the grocery store, spending $100 and only getting 2 meals out of it. He says it doesn't excuse anything he did though. He says he apologized and this is Murdoch you get from now on.

Knox talks nonsense and says he's left alone with his thoughts. He says he remembers going through a table. He says he's proud of The Country Gentlemen for putting him through a table and tell them good job.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see this end on a dropkick. You don't see that often these days. It was a shorter match here. It wasn't bad or anything but there just wasn't much time to make this great.

Overall thoughts: It was so-so. There was nothing must see here and nothing too interesting. The main and the opener was fine but nothing you would go seek out. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend this one.
