Thoughts: It was the wild, high flying and moves focused match you would expect. It was hard to follow at times with how much action was happening. They did lose me a bit by the end though as this kept going. The four way helped cover for some of the selling issues. They came up with a lot of creative spots as expected.

The Don Callis Family come out for a summit. There's tables in the ring and something on an easel. Rocky Romero says The Family is the largest and most dominant faction in wrestling. Rocky then shows a painting with all of The Family's wrestlers on it and everyone wearing little clothing.

Thoughts: We saw this already so we knew what it was going to look like. It was similar to the last match but that was fine so I had no issues here. It was a lot of hard shots and both of them going for submission attempts. It's too bad we didn't get a finish but it's clear it is leading somewhere.

Thoughts: Joe won as expected here. What we got was fine. Ric did his flying and we got a little bit of Bob vs Joe which was good.

Page buckshot lariats Joe then hits mounted shots. 

Thoughts: Wow, that was well done and very creative. They hid Page well here so you really couldn't see him get in there. Tony Schiavone deserves a whooping though for being in on this.

Overall thoughts: I liked the show and thought it was good. This was one of the better Dynamites I've seen. We had a cool angle to close the show and The Don Callis Family stuff was fine. There was also a lot of solid wrestling here with nothing being awful and they had a bit of a better line-up than usual. The Halloween theming all throughout also made for a nice touch/ I'd give this a 7 out of 10.
