End of show

My Take: Luger/Martel was a pretty dull featured match on the this show. Looks like the Quebecers are being thrown into a feud with the Headshrinkers. I’m not quite sure if that segment was suppose to turn the Headshrinkers face. If it wasn’t, then i guess it will be happening fairly soon. Overall, just a bland show.
