the main event was exactly what i expected.
royal vs jerry was good, too.

A fantastic, well built card.
 
Brisco and Wahoo would fill a building anywhere. A 60 minute instant classic.
 
The match up between Colosetti and Smirnoff was interesting.
 
Brisco was a great contest, too. Seems Royal's change of attitude doesn't translate into wins.
 
Great show.
