The announcer then quickly closes the show.
Overall thoughts: The opener really dragged and set the tone for this one. The second match wasn't bad and ended at the right time. The women's match was average. Titan's match wasn't quite the high flying battle I thought it might be and was mostly heel vs heel stuff. The semi-main was random but worked. The main was average. I'd say maybe the 2nd match was the best match but that's not saying a lot. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show overall and felt a bit long.
