End of Show

My Opinion: Fatal Four Way, and the Main Event were the best matches. Anything else involved in-ring wise was not so great to witness. The announcers tried too hard to put matches over as being the best they had ever seen. Good to see Homicide being the top guy in a promotion

Overall Grade: C+
