⭐️Kayhan: The way they dragged MJF outta there looked great! But it makes you wonder, why don't they do that all the time... Whoever the body double was, that's a great actor!

⭐️Kayhan: Comment on the strange booking: Unlike the other seemingly thrown together 8-man tag on this card, I didn't think this one worked. I thought the main event was an unnecessary match, especially after seeing the confrontation from earlier. And I didn't like the random teams this time. I think these two feuds were too distinct to be smashed together for the main event, and we didn't really need to see any of them fighting tonight, we get that on Sunday!
I really liked part of this. The opening in ring conversation I would give 👍👍, but 👎 for the main event. This show seemed slightly devoid of ideas and had some filler. They could have just cut the last 40 minutes of this show, really.

⭐️Kayhan: Comment on the strange booking: It seems thrown together but there are some on going feuds involved here. Brian Keith is there because they've spelled out an alliance between Learning Tree & the Don Callis Family. So thats good... Ospreay has history with the Don Callis Family while Hobbs has history with both Don Callis and the Learning Tree. Orange Cassidy and Briscoe, I cant recall if there's been any history between them and Don Callis, and I watch all these show... but I could be wrong on that. Regardless, it's ok. There can be some randomness too. I think it turned out to be a decent matchup.
Comments on the Match & Afterbirth: It was a fine 8 man tag for what it was. A thrown together multi man tag with lots of spots. I thought it was actually a well worked match.... I did think this was a good chance for MxM to make a run in on Orange Cassidy & Mark Briscoe and drag them off, leaving Ospreay & Hobbs alone to take the loss. But it was fine. Brian Keith taking the pin is funny... Fletcher's got good aura about him right now and he looks pretty ripped.
