THE GOOD

PAC vs YAMATO

Awesome main event. These two just get better and better. Definitely a match of the year candidate. Great wrestling, great high flying, hard hitting, great drama. I’d probably rank PAC and YAMATO as my number one and two favourite wrestlers right now. If you haven’t already, order the replay and watch it. 

Blood Warriors vs Ronin

What a night for Johnny Gargano. Making CIMA and Austin Aries tap out! It was a very enjoyable match. The atmosphere was electric when it went down to him and Aries.

Yoshino was a logical replacement for Taylor. Also, Rich Swann deserves credit for his selling. And the spot with CIMA and Aries stretching Swann while Lee splashed him was sick! 

Yoshino vs Ricochet

Very good opening match. Both men are always great to watch, so I really enjoyed this one. Nice set up for Yoshino aligning with Ronin later too. 

D.U.F vs Mochizuki & Yokosuka

I really hope we see more of Mochizuki in DGUSA, he is simply awesome. His kicks are absolutely brutal! Anyway, I’m not crazy about DUF going over, but at least it was Yokosuka who tapped. And I still really like Sami’s submission finisher (the stretch muffler). 

AR Fox vs Pinkie Sanchez

AR Fox lived up to the hype. So awesome. That spin into the death valley driver, his finisher, everything he did just looked great. He is the future! 

As for Pinkie Sanchez, he was good too. I thought him pulling his tights down was a bit weird, but I suppose it did get him heat.

FRAY!

I enjoyed the FRAY!, and Davis deserved the win. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with him in the future.

Commentary

New guy and Lenny did a great job on commentary this weekend. Congratulations! 

The Crowd

The crowd were hot all night, and added a lot to the Ronin match and the main event. The Aries/Gargano face off was a great moment, and they deserve a lot of credit for that. 

Chat Box

The chat box next to the stream provided a lot of laughs while the technical difficulties were taking place. I still think the transcript should be a bonus on the dvd.

THE BAD

Technical Difficulties 

I won’t dwell on this as everyone knows what happened. Hopefully everything will run smoothly in the future! We got a free show out of it, so maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing in the end. 

No Akira Tozawa

Where were you Tozawa?! Obviously he would have been booked if he was available, and I’m sure he had a good reason not to be, so I won’t hold it against anyone. Still, it was a shame he wasn’t on the Second Anniversary Show, especially considering what an asset to the company he has been this year.

THE QUESTIONABLE

Does Tony Nese look like Chris Masters?

Some guys in the crowd thought so. 

“C’mon Chris Masters finish him off!”

“Use the Masterlock!”
