This is a 2.5 hour special. we are in Hollywood, Florida. Exaclibur, Bryan Danielson and Tazz are on commentary.

The Young Bucks talk outside. They say it's the 6th year anniversary of Dynamite. They've got big ideas for an entrance. They then go to the casino with the money they won from the all-star tag and gamble. The one Buck goes to check out the money after and it's all gone.

Thoughts: It was very fast paced. They did lots of cool moves but no one sold any of them as they just had to move over to the next spot. Everyone got all their big spots in here and it went close to 20 minutes. I didn't like Kenny dancing around either when The Bucks were part of taking him out a year ago.

The lights go out. Someone in a mask shows up and it's Andrade El Idolo, who is fresh from WWE. Andrade lariats Kenny then double underhook twisting drops him. Don Callis then shakes hands with Andrade and holds his arm up.

Thoughts: This segment didn't make much sense. Jungle Boy tried to kill Kenny a year or so ago and is now trying to be his friends. He's also now mad at The Bucks despite being their friend months ago. Kenny also wants to be friends with The Bucks despite them taking him out yet is mad at Jungle Boy for the same thing.

Yuta throws powder in MS' eyes on accident. MS is blinded and chokes Yuta. Kris 450's both off the top. Darby top rope coffin drops Yuta and him and Kris pin Yuta.

Thoughts: As with all intergender matches, the question is asked of why the men don't nail the girls and get the easy win. The breaks cut this one up a bit. The action was fine but I didn't think it was super memorable. Darby took a bad looking tope con hilo into an open chair and MS had a bunch of tacks go into her feet which had to hurt. I do wonder why The Death Riders didn't interfere here since there were no rules.

Toni Storm comes on the ramp after and stares at Kris. They stare down and smile then hockey fight. Darby whips Yuta with a belt. Pac comes out and hits Darby from behind. Pac puts the belt around Darby's neck and chokes him. Mox gets on the mic. He says Darby has 0 chance of doing what he needs to do to win. He says he doesn't know how he will do it but Darby will say he quits. Pac then lariats Darby after.

Overall thoughts: Once we got past OC and The Bucks, things got a bit better. The show went long but really didn't need to. If they cut out The GoA and Toni matches, this would have ended around it's usual time. The show was fine as whole as they are starting to put Wrestledream together. I'd give the show a 6 out of 10 as I thought they did okay with a longer show than usual and they were able to keep my attention.
