End of show

My Take:
The first two matches were rather terrible. Those four men must not have known how to wrestle or carry a match, at that time. Vida/Ajax was a average match but compared to the first two matches it could’ve been a match of the year candidate. AMIL/Steves match was OK, again. Those four guys have a good chemistry with each other and their showings are always somewhat entertaining. Ephex/Dynasty was really repetitive. The main event was perhaps one of the worst street fights I have watched. I personally like street fights to be brutal and not just a stipulation to attract fans. Good aftermath with Isys Ephex attacking Hyson, though.
