I don&#8217;t know that Kiss and Luther were 100% on the same wavelength in this match, but it was still entertaining. Kiss had lots of kicks, and Luther tried to counter with his power and his ability to absorb punishment. I&#8217;m not sure that I like Luther&#8217;s go-to submission though. It hardly looks like a legal pro wrestling hold.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Jimmy Havoc runs down to the ring.

Brandon Cutler was the MVP of this match, but of course Shawn Spears didn&#8217;t care. Cutler looked really good, and he often had to battle both members of Private Party by himself. That led to a unique scenario where Spears took a walk, but Cutler started hitting some big moves that could have potentially won the match had his partner been working with him. So yeah, this match finally made Spears&#8217; search for a partner pretty interesting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Empty Arena<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTony Shiavone and Dasha Gonzlaez close out the how by reminding us once again about AEW <em>Revolution<\/em> tomorrow night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a pretty good episode.
