My Opinion: Walker/Sal was really simple and nothing spectacular occurred. Appeared to me that perhaps the match was intended to be a squash, as Walker pretty much dominated the match. Strong/Batts was average. Some nice action during that contest. The crowd being dead thus far is not helping the show. Their appears to be less than 75 people in attendance. Banks/Whitmer was just a way to give Whitmer some creditability in the FIP title match. Azireal/Rainman finish was really predictable and the match itself was sub-par. Eddie/Rave had a really weak finish. I also don’t know about having two heel factions, before having a baby face faction. New Dawn and now the DP Associates. Clark/Dragon was alright. Dragon doesn’t know how to protect himself on some moves, which hurt the match and possibly hurt himself. Maff/Punk was average. Their wasn’t a lot of room or weapons to use and considering they are fighting in front of no more than 40 people, the match couldn’t get any momentum. Homicide/Whitmer was decent bout, but really repetitive. Every match started off with a wrist lock and nothing was really different other than the last two matches. The crowd being so small, and so silent really hurt the show overall.

Overall Grade: D
