Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of it. There wasn't much selling and the moves didn't mean a whole lot here. It was an indy style match with lots of flips and cool moves and not much else. I also thought this went a lot longer than it needed to.
Hechicero goes to challenge Band after.
Overall thoughts: It was a long show. I liked the opener and was okay with the 4-way. Panther/Moriarty was boring. The tag title match was fine. Nick/Titan went too long and brought down an otherwise okay match. The women's 4-way was better than I expected and it wasn't a bad match. Athena/Rosa was a solid match with the two working body parts and Athena winning again. I didn't like the main at all as it was indy style match with lots of big moves and little selling. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 total. There was nothing you really needed to see here and there were a couple of decent matches that put it over the edge of just being average. Athena/Rosa was the match of the night.
