[DreamBroken]

Good show with a great main event.

Surprised by Zachary Wentz winning the X Championship, thought for sure that Speedball would retain or if anyone else, Hammerstone would win it. Good opener. Maclin/Young was solid.

the trios match I'm guessing was cut short after Alisha got legit KOed sadly. Apparently Alisha and PCO are both being looked at for concussion.  

the 8 man tag was a lot of fun, loved the finisher train towards the end. 

Main event was pretty epic throughout. Liked the story of Nemeth leading the first half before Josh tied it in the later portion. Nice countout teases on both. Josh using the Danger Zone but couldn't get it done while Nemeth busts out the C4 Spike for the win was cool.  Love the surprise cliffhanger ending.

Yeah, Alisha was the weakest link in the heel team, but once she went down, the other members were in deep shit. I guess Masha needs a new partner again for a bit?

Shocked that Bailey lost the X-division title so soon.

Glad that ABC retains the tag titles.

System was having a really shitty day, but Eddie Edwards saved it for them. Didn't see that coming! Every face took a turn wiping out all 4 members of the System.

The main event was tehnically really good, once it got going. At first, I thought it was an interesting choice to have Nemeth go up 2-0, but when the match went on, it started to look like it's only purpose was to make Nemeth look good very much at the expense of Josh Alexander. That rubbed me the wrong way.

What's John Layfield have in mind for Nemeth, though? Probably not challenging him.

Oh, and Maclin vs Young was very good wrestling and Maclin's desperation flash pin was nicely done!
