The announcer then talks to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show with close to 2.5 hours of action. The opener was good. The second and third matches weren't that different from each other but the third match was a little better. The women's match was average. Flip/Volador didn't deliver and the main was okay. I'd say the opener was the best match of the night and the main was the second best. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show, but they definitely did build some things up there for future shows.
