Overall Show Score: 3/10
Pros: At least they did tried a new concept with Taiji Ishimori & Great-O-Khan. I glad tama tonga dropped his belt to once one else on his way out & the only good match was 10-man tag team match between United Empire & BULLET CLUB War Dogs.
Cons: The excitement level were a all-time low from this event. Most of the Matches aren’t that impressive and I didn’t like how the main event went down.
