Overall Show Score: 7/10
Pros: I loved their tribute to legend Antonio Inoki in the ring throughout the all event. A lot of the wrestling Action was good too great. That Bryan Danielson, Zack Sabre Jr. Match was something else. Jon Moxley on commentary was fun to see and Adam Copeland made his shocking debut.
Cons: A lot of the multi men matches were not that exciting and predictable. What a disgrace not haring Claudio Castagnoli on the main show. No surprise partner for MJF at this event and some of the wrestlers’ performances couldn’t done a lot better.
