team 3d and rhino beat the team of hernandez, matt morgan and the black pope the crowd were hot for this match and it was great.

Desmond wolfe (formerly known as Nigel McGuinness) put up but was shut down by angle in a pure wrestling classic! it had the crowd chanting this is wrestling. the moves were solid the story telling was believable, and every move was sold to a tee. it gets my rare 6/5

the pace was slowed down a bit by the main event as aj styles retained against Samoa Joe and Christopher daniels. a good match but there was so many on that night!
