Thoughts: The fan coming really disrupted this. It took a while to get things going again and they had a sloppy stretch. The first half wasn't bad but then they got into doing all the big spots and it went down from there.
Overall thoughts: The first two matches stunk. The Lee Moriarty and Virus tag was good with some nice technical wrestling and Blue Panther being a good face. The 3-way didn't work and the trios match was mostly average. I didn't care for the semi-main or main as they were similar matches where they did too much. I'm sure some segments of fans will really like the top two matches but for me, I'd give this a 5 out of 10. I'd give them an 8 out of 10 though for the line-up they put together here as it was a bigger card than usual.
