MLW World Tag Team Title Ladder Match
The Calling (AKIRA & Rickey Shane Page) (c) vs. The Second Gear Crew (1 Called Manders & Matthew Justice)
This was a solid opening match. 4 guys well versed in this style of match and the crowd was behind it. SGC winning was the right choice.
3 / 5
Loser Leaves MLW Match
Matt Cardona (w/Saint Laurent) vs. Mance Warner
This was fine. A brawl mostly but incorporating SDL into dating Warner in real life into this story felt odd because I doubt most MLW fans knew that.
2.5 / 5
Tag Team Match
Ichiban & Mascara Dorada vs. Promociones Dorado (Barbaro Cavernario & Rocky Romero) (w/Salina de la Renta)
A fun spot fest mostly. A lot of good action and it kept the pace going.
3.25 / 5
MLW World Heavyweight Title Match
Alex Kane (w/Faye Jackson & Mr. Thomas) (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
This is a great example of stretching a match out to just run the time up. No reason this 20 minute or so match needed to be 50 minutes long. It had its moments but just felt like it dragged on far too often killing any pacing the match had going.
2.5 / 5
