The matches were solid, but with a lack of real storyline to pull it together and the continued boring Impact/Cage/Moose/Kross storyline dragging out, this week’s show was mediocre at best.
Matches:
Willie Mack vs. Jake Crist w/Dave Crist: Mack did everything but win in a solid opening contest that ended after Dave Crist pushed Mack off the top rope to get his brother DQed. Of course oVe beats up Mack after the bell but Tommy Dreamer makes the save and all of a sudden we have a Tag Team Match on our hands.
Willie Mack and Tommy Dreamer vs. Jake Crist and Dave Crist: After a DVD by Dreamer, Mack scored the win with the Six-Star Frog Splash.
Fallah Bahh and Kevin Matthews vs. Reno Scum: Thornstowe and Luster: Bahh and KM won with the Rocket Launcher Samoan Drop, but Reno Scum got the last laugh with a post-match beatdown.
Tessa Blanchard vs. Delilah Doom: Doom hung in there longer than expected by Blanchard won with the Buzzsaw DDT.
Zack Wentz vs. Ethan Page: Wentz got the surprise win with the UFO Cutter.
Killer Kross and Moose vs. Brian Cage and Impact Champion Johnny Impact: Cage got decimated as a Moose Spear immobilized him and Kross was able to get him to pass out to the Kross Jacket. It appears Impact was hurt during the match, but it smells like Impact was playing possum.
