Thoughts: That's the biggest win Niko has ever gotten. I was surprised by that. It was a shorter one with a lot of stiff shots here. It didn't get enough time to be anything too special.

Thoughts: It wasn't good as expected. There was a lot of sloppy moments here and it's not even that surprising considering their skill levels.

Oba hits a pop-up powerbomb and wins.

Thoughts: It was a super fun hoss vs hoss match here. It was great and they put Jasper over strong despite losing. This totally beat my expectations and I like both guys. They really delivered on this one and this should put Jasper on the map as one to watch. Give me this again please because this was great. Jasper did some incredible bumping here for size. This is must see.

Overall thoughts: This was a star making night with Lainey Reid and Jasper Troy both getting put in sink or swim situations and both stepping up to the plate. You gotta go see Troy/Oba as it was a really fun hoss match that put Jasper Troy on the mat. Reid didn't have the greatest night but she looked on the level of Jacy Jayne and that was put together well. Tony D's match had a good story to it with him not being able to trust Luca and having to deal with Stacks. Page/Legacy and Wren/Lash were the lowpoints of the night though. I'd give this one an 8 out of 10 as they knocked the main out of the park and made that one a match you gotta see. This was a good show.

  1. I see now why the coaches on LFG were so high on Jasper Troy. He works and moves very well for his experience and size.

    1. Yeah, I think Jasper is pretty solid. Maybe not super spectacular or some mega star, but bigger guys who know how to work the role are typically longtime roster members (Kane/Big Show/Albert).

      I thought Reid looked good. She made massive improvements from her first appearances and I'm looking forward to see what she looks like in another year.

  2. I think in the match with Lash and Wren, Lash was trying to swing Wren into position for the Lash Extension, but couldn't hook Wren's leg so it resulted in an awkward looking botched drop. It was a case of an ambitious idea in theory, but the laws of physics prevailed.

  3. Lainey was really good for her first match on live tv and it being a championship match with a vet was even more impressive. I see why they opted to put her on tv instead of Evolve because she was definitely the most skilled out of that group of girls from Lvl Up before it ended.
