Thoughts: Truth winning was a big upset. I'm curious as to why they booked that. This was just average and had some time wasting outside and a rest hold. It was nice to see a surprise ending though.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual. Neither was that good but this was notable for Truth getting an upset win over Kaiser. I was surprised by that and wonder why they did it. It was an average show. You don't need to see this one and I wouldn't recommend this.
