These two teams have wrestled enough times to have a formula match and that was exactly what this was. I wasn’t bored by it, but there wasn’t anything memorable in the match.)
Final Thoughts:
Not much really going on here on Main Event. There are better Heat/Males matches to go out of your way to watch than the one on here. Unless, you’re a big fan of their matches.
Thanks for reading.
