It started with both teams having fun with each other and posing a bit, but there was a sequence where Trent Seven went on a rampage that changes the mood of the match. It got serious after that, and it was pretty much a tornado tag with many, many double-team moves from both tandems. This was very fun, though I might have wanted the victory to go the other way. Of course, I might be saying the same thing had the other team won.

Unfortunately, Alexander Wolfe took a kick to the chin from Bobby Fish early in the match that looked like it knocked him out, so Wolfe had to make an early exit. That meant most of the match was four-on-three, but the seven men still in the ring put on a great show. Some of my favorite moments involved Kyle O&#8217;Reilly and Walter (specifically when they were one-on-one against each other), but everyone looked great. The match was nearly thirty minutes long, and I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a fun show. It was tough for me to pick a winner in any match because I liked everyone on the card, but that also meant that I would be happy with the overall results no matter who won or lost. I was happy with this show, and I&#8217;d like to see it happen more than once a year.
