The champs are sent into each other. Riggs dropkicks Booker into Parker and a double dropkick to Ray. Parker stops Riggs by pulling his hair and we get a cheap disqualification. (*1/2. They never got past the first gear, but it wasn’t a bad match overall. It was just a mostly slow and kind of boring match with yet another cheap finish that just didn’t need to happen.)
Final Thoughts:
A skippable show with the enhancement matches not showcasing interesting characters and the feature match being a disappointment.
