Show Thoughts
My worst show thus far. I had booked Kaz Hayashi to take part in the 4-way, but he doesn't debut yet so I had to put in Alex Wright and that disappointed some fans, also they expected to see more angles this time which I skimped on...I guess I'll learn.
Luger & Bagwell pull off a C+ match, but I expect more from two vets and upper card wrestlers. I can only hope it gets better as they have a long way to go in their storyline.
Page and Hall pulled off the best match of the night and they were a ways down on the card...I'll have to remember that for the future though...if Hall keeps showing up
Hart & Savage weren't a good paring at all I'll have to see what Hart can do with some of my other workers and Savage might just be a worker without a spot for me for a while
