Thoughts: Doing a 30 minute draw to OPEN a 4 hour show is some insane stuff. You risk killing the crowd for the next 3.5 hours. I was alright with it, but that's because it ended when it did. If it had gone longer, I would have hated it as the vertebreaker should have took Will out. I thought it had a bit of a slow start here that didn't quite hook me from the start.

Swerve gets on the mic and says they are the best as this is where the best wrestle. He challenges Will to sudden death.

The Death Riders then come out. Swerve is distracted and The Young Bucks jump swerve from behind. A Buck ends up superkicking Prince Nana. Swerve is handcuffed to the ropes and is then superkicked multiple times. The Bucks go to superkick Swerve with thumbtack covered shoes but Will takes the kick for Swerve for some reason.

Meg hits a double fallaway slam. Tay hits a bad knee to the face out of the gori special and pins Ford.

Thoughts: I would have been okay with it but all of Tay's offense looked like trash here and that's a problem since they won. Thankfully Meg didn't take the L here.

Kenny says it's been 7 years since their last match. Kenny says let's leave it all in the ring one final time for everything.

They shake hands and talk in each other's faces.

Thoughts: Kenny was a dumb face here, completely forgetting that Okada helped put him out a while ago and that he's friends with people Kenny just fought.

Okada and Don then run out goether and get in a car and leave.

We cut to Tony and Nigel. Tony says it was a disgusting display and hopes to have an update later.

Overall thoughts: It was a good Dynamite. It went by fast and had lots of action here. The women's match was the low point of the show though as Tay's offense looked bad. Kenny also trying to be all respectful again with Okada was stupid since Okada already took him out a year ago. I was okay with Will/Swerve, the trios match and Mistico/Blake. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 total.
