Card Review

The Industry Vs Cyborg & Bison

Good surprise to start of the match strong, very one sided for the most part, good storytelling, making the beasts look strong up until the finish. Showed the friction between Bison and Cyborg when Bison didn't break Cyborg out of the pin. High spots with the suicide dive. The Industry played true heels with Silva constantly getting involved and helping Waite.

Kayden Kynra Vs Randy Borton

The second match in the best of five series, a tables match. Kayden Kynra went into it with momentum after beating Borton last week. Borton started off very strong in this match, giving the impression that he'll even it out at 1-1. A decent spot when Borton flew through the table but Kynra got out of the way. Borton managed to get back on top however. Near finish definitely increased the wow factor when Kyrna took the leg out of the table instead of going through it. AN AMAZING FINISH WITH A POWERSLAM THROUGH THE TABLE. The rest of the match was kind of average but the finish saved it.

Ryan Kent Vs Xander Slate

Ryan Kent went into this with low momentum, not really starting strong on the main roster while Xander was doing okay leading up to this match. Nice back and forth between the two.  Xander slate had some heelish antics throughout the match which played off well, showing little respect to the newcomer. Good reversal into a codebreaker from Kent, was a nice combination.  Some close calls in this match made it much more intense, several 2 counts. The finisher out of nowhere was a nice surprise.

Zakk Painn & Paul Anderson Vs Jackie Reyes & Dave Turner

An interesting match up here placing the the two members of The Hit Squad against each other in tag action, kinda awkward to see the injured big show at the side. Made for a great bout seeing JBL's goons go against each other in a televised match. Was also nice to see the two former world champions going at it once more which made for some great nostalgia. Some good two counts in this match, the refs constant stupidity takes away from the experience. The interruptions from the "injured" Big Show messed up the fluidity of this match, and cost it it's 4 star rating. Some good finishers out of nowhere did this match some good and made it that much more exciting.

The Miz Vs Duo Maxwell

Both men have big matches at Over the Limit, and so both men should go into this a put on a good show. A lot of offence from both guys in this match, but it ultimately ended via  a filthy non-fin sub, you should be ashamed Maxwell. None the less, despite some decent action during the match, the ending was what killed it.

Scott Norrie Vs Marko Punish

Both of these men can put on good matches, and with a hell in the cell stipulation, you expect a top notch match. Started strong as Norrie prematurely attacked Marko, and then it turned into a brawl sufficiently using the cell. Was utter domination by Marko Punish until the final 20 seconds where he was thrown through cell and then hit with the GTS for Norrie to pick up the win!

The Naughty Guys Vs Splendor

A spectacular entrance to set this match off. Starting off with an instant signature, somewhat burying the sunset flip powerbomb only getting Maxx a one count. But a close call instantly brought the match back. A nice spot with the suicide dive from Kendall Wolfe to liven the match up followed up by a powerbomb to the outside from Styles. The use of Tag Team Finishers  added excitement to the match, a good strong match for both teams, and a nice tag team debut for The Naughty Guys.
