Some fun matches on the undercard, but TayJay getting setup against Divine Dominion should be fun. Mick is fantastic on the pre-show and he cuts a killer promo with MJF, who low-blows him and Darby saves and Mick puts him over huge. Well, this one pre-show justified whatever they're paying Mick. Cope and Cage vs. FTR starts the show off - which is good for the sake of stip because an I Quit match can kill a show's flow. Great song singing for Cope and Cage gets trapped by Dax and tells him to go fuck himself. Stoke takes the top rope off and Nigel says he's got a lot of wrist experience. They choke Dax and Stoke AND THE WATCH save before BETH returns.
They empty LIGHTER FLUID on a table and STOKE EATS A SUICIDE SPEAR FROM CASH THROUGH THE FLAMING TABLE! BALLSHOT TO DAX from Cage, Beth and a Cope piledriver and then a sharpshooter from Cage and CROSSFACE FROM COPE! AND BETH HAS SPIKE AND THEY WIN IT! Well that was outstanding.
Takeshita vs. Okada is ONLY THE SECOND MATCH and we get forearms and then an APRON RAINMAKER! DDT ON THE FLOOR! POWER DRIVE GETS 1! Raging Fire falcon arrow wins it and the International Title! The PROTOSTAR returns and HE ATTACKS TAKESHITA! So there's ALL IN for the International. Kyle gave him the belt AND THEN A LARIAT!
Athena beat Mina with a tombstone and then the O Face. Mox vs. KOR and JR is on commentary! Ankle locks back and forth but Mox has an ankle lock anchored on and he taps out and as Mox and Marina leave, we get Ospreay OSPREAY out putting him over. Joe is out in pure fun retirement run energy.
Swerve beats Bandido and it's the women's 4-way with Shida and Kris fighting and Shida getting a nice ankle lock on Hayter. Shida canes Kris after the Sunday night fever and Thekla's stomp wins it! Babyfaces get a cool hype video set to "Devil's Dance" by Metallica. Bunch of crazy shit with the bus, OWA through a table for Andrade! EVERYONE HITS THEIR FINISH ON RICOCHET AND THAT'S JUST MEAN! Kaun saves Ricochet but EATS SEVEN SUPERKICKS AT ONCE! LIONSAULT WINS IT!
MJF vs. Darby is up and MJF has a PPV robe on and the stips would seem to indicate an MJF win - maybe with Hangman giving him the assist and leading to MJF ending the stip. MJF DOESN'T COME FROM A BOROUGH HE IS FROM A MANSION NONE OF THE POORS CAN AFFORD - HE IS MJF!
Darby gets a flash 2 off a headlock takeover! JESUS DARBY RAGDOLLS HIMSELF OFF A TOPE! PACKAGE PILEDRIVER ON THE STEPS BY MJF! A TRILLION 2 FALLS OFF CRADLES FOR 2! CODE RED GETS 2! Darby tope into a TV camera and MJF carries him around AND HE GRABS THE CLIPPERS! FRONT GUILLIOTINE CHOKE BY DARBY ON THE STAGE! OH MY GOD COFFIN DROP OFF THE DON STAGE THROUGH A TABLE! And Darby's head is all sliced!
COFFIN DROP HITS FOR 2.9! Avalnche tombstone and the side headlock takeover wins it! Goddamn what a fun show this was and this was a very rewatchable classic and they cart off Darby, who took punishment that still seemed lesser than Foley at Superbrawl. MJF stands tall and KEVIN KNIGHT UFO SPLASHES DARBY ON THE GURNEY AND MJF IS SHOCKED!
