Thoughts: This was fine. MSH was decent as usual. I was surprised to see Chella take the fall. I thought Chella had a better showing than usual here.

Thoughts: They missed a lot of shots here which brought this down. The heels didn't get enough offense in on this one and it never really felt like the faces were in trouble. It really wasn't what it should have been.

The faces pour dog food out after into dog bowls. The faces go to give the heels the dog food and the heels nail the faces. The faces are put in the corner and ties to the ropes with a whip. The heels then put dog food in the face of the faces and get it all over the place.

Betty gets on the mic after. She says they won this match fair and square. Betty says she knew they should have ran the heels over like road kill. Jones says the heels hit them with dog collars. Jones asks if they know what they like to do with dog collars. Jones says they use dog collars for punishment. Jones wants a double dog collar match and brings up seeing those with Dusty and JYD. David McLane agrees.

Thoughts: While I didn't like the match that much, they got the angle after right and provided a good reason for the dog collar match to happen. That should be interesting and I'm looking forward to it.

Overall thoughts: It was a decent episode of WOW with the post-main event angle being memorable. I liked 2 of the matches and didn't care for the other two. I expected a bit more out of the main than what we got though. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10. I think WOW is on a pretty good run here and has definitely improved their weekly show over past offerings.
