Thoughts: It was a wild one with tons of big and create spots. I don't think it was the right call since The Bucks should have been upset with FTR here but the match itself was very entertaining. Everyone took an awful bump or two in this and I wouldn't be shocked if someone got injured. Whatever you could think of, they did here. It was a good main event, thought not really for the logic.
Overall thoughts: It was wrestling heavy but it was a good show overall. The main was pretty wild and worth a look. The opener was okay but not as good as it should have been. OC ruined his match with Gabe with his shenanigans Knight/Mansoor was short and okay. The women's match had a dumb finish. I liked Brody/Davis. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.
