Pre-show:

KC Navarro gets on the mic before his match and says pardon me. AJ Francis then gets on the mic. AJ says they are in El Trasho, Texas. He says it's funny that the show is called Sacrifice, as they'd rather sacrifice their own lives than live here as nobody here makes money, money, money. He says if you aren't First Class, you're last. The crowd chants "we can't here you" and he says this place sucks and he hates all of them.

Thoughts: It was entertaining. I don't know if I've seen a pre-show go into the main show before but that was a clever way to get people interested. I'm sure Mance didn't get his tongue stapled to the top buckle but the spot was cool. This was all hardcore wrestling here.

Thoughts: It was a good tag here with lots of flying. The top rope double stomp to the back of the head looked risky and Wes basically got suplexed off the apron but landed on his feet at one point. I liked the fold + lightning spiral combo.

Gia interviews Steve Maclin. Steve says it's the right time for Frankie Kazarian tonight. He says he's calling his shot and it's tag 'em and bag 'em for Kaz.

Thoughts: They tried but it was made to get excited about this one. Eric Young getting involved was interesting. I liked the spot with Kaz getting thrown out yet still holding onto the chicken wing. It was acceptable just not great.

Thoughts: It was short and entertaining. George did all kinds of dances that got people riled up and he only came in at certain points. I guess this makes George a women's champ now which is really weird. This was better than a normal match than these would have been.

Thoughts: It was ugly with Jeff taking some horrible looking bumps and them taking out a camera. Jeff banged his head off a chair at one point then banged it off a spear into a table on the corner.

Eli jumps off a chair into a flying knee on Eddie. JDC is dropped crotch first on the top part of the chair. Matt hits a twist of fate on JDC. Matt puts a chair around JDC's neck and hits a twist of fate. Matt then pins him.

Thoughts: It was one of the most generic cage matches ever. There was no blood. There were too many people involved and the cage was too small for them to do much. We really only got one cage dive here and if you were looking for something epic, this was far from it. It was basically a house show cage match. It was okay but it was one of the weakest cage matches I've seen since the 1991 York Foundation cage match. 

Nic Nemeth hits a danger zone on Matt after, turning on him. Ryan Nemeth then pounds on Matt. Ryan then locks the cage. Matt takes a move on an open chair. Matt is rammed int othe cage and bleeds. Matt is sent into the cage again. Nic rips at Matt's cut as we go off air.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show overall. It wasn't great or must see though. The main was really generic and average. Moose/Jeff Hardy had a lot of sloppy and dangerous moments which made it hard to put over. I didn't like Cora/Masha. I liked Santana/Ali. The women's tag title match was entertaining as expected. I liked the tripos match with Wes Lee. Maclin/Kaz was hard to get excited about. Tessa/Lee wasn't that good and I liked Mance/Sami. I also liked the First Class vs Octagon/Laredo Kid pre-show match. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 overall and thought it was watchable, just not great.
