Thoughts: The finish wasn't that great as it was a bit sudden and not so well built to. I didn't like the canadian destroyer not meaning much. It was mostly flying as expected. It was entertaining and they didn't go too overboard. It was an okay bout but not Band's best effort.

Overall thoughts: I was alright with the opener but it was different with the faces triple stomping the heels. Stigma's match was good but 2 people seemed to have gotten hurt during it. I liked Los Calavera Jr vs Los Villanos. The semi-main was longer, slow and boring. The main wasn't either guys greatest effort but aside from a meaningless canadian destroyer, it was alright. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as things went pretty well here outside of the semi-main and it was a good show.
