Halloween Havoc

Oct. 22nd, 2022
A fun ladder match with some big spots but personally didn’t always feel like a big match. A lot of ladder spots landed on the edge of it and didn’t look as brutal as they usually would. Went longer than I expected too.
3.25 / 5
They tried here but this match didn’t really hit great for me. Good brawling around the ring but Apollo here just isn’t doing it. The fake finish through the casket was interesting though.
2 / 5
A brawl that didn’t focus on pinfalls much. The table spot off the high platform looked awful though and they got up rather quickly from it. Some of the random weapons too weren’t really that great.
2.25 / 5
This was a straight brawl mostly throughout. They have to keep it moving somewhat fast because of the type of match but there were moments where you could tell they needed a break. It was okay overall and got better as it went on. The final ending moment was good overall and made Julius look strong.
2.5 / 5
A short match that was heavy with interference and false finishes. Really wasn’t anything great but I didn’t expect Rose to drop the title tonight anyway.
1.5 / 5
A slower match that built up a nice pace towards the end. Bron ended up sort of being the weakest guy here as the other two had more experience and held the match together in parts. Some good close pinfalls throughout with JD stopped the refs hand from hitting for the 3 count being a stand out moment. A weak finish though because after all this match it took one move for Bron to win. Still a solid match overall.
3.5 / 5
