My Opinion: KJ/Dizzie wasn’t anything special. KJ is apparently a graduate of PWU’s training school. With that said, the bout was slow and rather simple offensively on KJ’s part. The women’s match was really repetitive. Joke/Hunter again wasn’t good. Two different styles that didn’t work out so well. Three way was short and decent for the time given. The crowd has been rather dead for this show. By AMIL/Acid/Azrieal match the microphones for the commentators had crapped out, which sucks as I hear nothing but static as they attempt to call the action. AMIL/Acid/Azrieal match itself had it’s slow spots but was a solid bout that went nearly twenty minutes. For a hardcore brawl, Moore/Ian was alright. Moore botched a few moves that hurt the match, but overall, the match was kind of brutal. Which was its purpose. Slugga/Pondo was really bad, simple as that. SAT/Briscoe Brothers match was really, really fun match. A lot of fast pace action and all four men hit some sick moves. Good to see Hawx get some offense in against Vampiro. The match wasn’t too bad. Vampiro is in good shape. Homicide/Tony has one interesting move by Tony from the top rope. Everything else involving the match was garbage. Main Event was lackluster. It appeared as if Raven didn’t really care about competing. The crowd being dead for most of the show really hurt the overall show. Hopefully a better crowd is at the next show. The fatal four way match carries this show to a passing grade.

Overall Grade: C-
