Both women looked great in this one. I really enjoyed the start of this match where they had a nice chain of pin attempts before moving on to some more impactful moves. I think the first half of the match was better than the second half, but it was very good overall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today, Hideo Itami confronted Kassius Ohno about setting up a match between the two of them.

It started off alright, but after a certain point when Lorcan slapped Burch bloody the match got quite interesting. The moves both of these guys pulled off didn&#8217;t look particularly nice, but that helped to give the match a feeling that these guys just wanted to beat the crap out of each other. This was a fight more than a match, and I like that about it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nLorcan offers his hand to Burch after the match.

The pace was fairly methodical, and the moves were heavy and strong. This was a good battle of two big guys. I don&#8217;t think anyone was surprised that McIntyre looked good here, but Dain came off especially strong as well. It was a good match for Dain&#8217;s credibility, though I sometimes question the method of building a guy up by having him under-sell moves like he did towards the end of this match. Yeah, it works, but it feels a little cheap sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI really liked this show.
