Overall Show Score: 6/10
Pros: The zero-hour kick off YouTube show was solid enough. I was glad seeing Adam Copeland winning the TNT championship was great before it was snatched away from me in the coolest way possible. Everyone gave it their all when it came to the quality of the wrestling. Eddie Kingston was well disturbed being crowned the Continental Classic winner and having the reveal being Adam Cole as the devil was both predictable & shocking at the same time.
Cons: The lack of crowd reaction did affect my enjoyment of the event. As well goes to each match as well. I didn’t care for the Don Callis Family stable all their 8-man tag team match & shame seeing MJF wrestle not 100 percent.
