Loved MVP's opening promo - he talked some good shit about NYC, Miley, and dressed like Sonny Crockett - so he was a win. Then the Innovator of IHOP came down to put MVP over, bury King, and said that Lashley FINALLY lived up to his potential. Well, that's accurate. The Lashley-Dreamer match itself was nothing special, but did have a great bit where Taz said Dreamer, in jogging pants and a t-shirt, wasn't in his gear.

Taryn-Madison was really good and the X division 6-man tag filled time and wasn't completely without merit thanks to Low-Ki. The Roode-EY promo took up a lot of time, but got enjoyable by the end. The Bro Mans Tinder Games bit was amusing and should serve as an entertaining way to bring Brooke back. EC3-Rhino was enjoyable. I loved EC3 doing the Stinger splash and howl, and Spud being scared to death of EC3 after the chair beating of Rhino. This EC3 character has been a fantastic audition tape for an IC-level return to WWE for Derek Bateman.

I loved The Great Sanada's reveal. The look and overall act is a win, beyond the gold and black paint. The paint should always match the gear. Sanada and Aries have really underrated chemistry, and are a guaranteed good-to-great match every time out. I loved Aries doing a back to back apron buckle bonk spot - haven't seen it before. Sanada is far better as a Muta expy than Stardust is for Goldust - Sanada clearly understands the core character.

The entire Chris Melendez presentation was one of the best things in company history. I had a tear in my eye over the whole thing - this is one of the best things they've ever done. So much so that the crowd is even crying over it. The main event 3-way was fantastic, with everyone hitting signature stuff and getting good nearfalls. Team 3D won with their move after everyone had a chance to shine, and this was a must-watch edition of the show overall - the second hour was the best since Destination X, or whichever show had the Hardys-Wolves match on it.

The Chris Melendez segment is the best thing on the show, hands down.  Sure, the main event was good, and the six-man was fun too.  But they pale in comparison to an army veteran who lost his leg but is going to wrestle anyway.  That whole thing was so well-done that I'm left feeling very good about everything right now.  Great stuff.

Very solid show tonight, really enjoyable. Lot of action with match after match early on. Dreamer/Lashley was a good hot start to the show. Liked Taryn/Madison a lot and thought both looked fantastic. Awesome finish from Taryn.. would love to see her work in the women's indys some, feel like she's getting over the rust since returning and going back to constantly improving as she was last year. Hope to see more of her in the ring on Impact, Madison too as it seems like she'd been gone for some time.

 

X Division six man was well done and felt like one of the better matches of that style that they've done recently. Hope they build to an eventual Ki/Joe rematch. EC3 remains a fantastic heel. Sanada/Aries was good stuff. Dig the Great Sanada paint but thought he should've gone with more 90s Muta style hair too to go with it. Roode/Young segment ended up quite good and did a lot to make the match next week feel like a big deal, looking forward to it. Main event was awesome. Thought they could've used more time when it started so late but it was an excellent fast paced match with everyone looking good. Loved the Wolves' double dive followed by Jeff's poetry in motion dive and Matt's moonsault to the outside. Lots of good stuff from all three, definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.
