This was looking to be a great match with a consistent story told, great performances and a credible match structure UNTIL the strike exchange restart which transitioned the match into an over the top AE like finish and mutliple angles which diluted the one before it. Shame. 3.5

Ospreay vs Fletcher was conceptually confused with the stories turning from a heated former friends fight to a workrate challenge from one moment to the next. Emotionally unsure, conceptually disjointed. 3

The pacing of the match really let this down. The work was good and the selling around the legs was particularly strong, even if it wasn't perfect otherwise. But the pacing was slow and sluggish and the fans really didn't respond to the drama of the match. ***1/4

I think Statlander is good but she is pretty bland and compared to the much more dynamic Mone, I couldn't help but be unmoved by her despite her solid performance. Mone reminded me why she is the greatest US Women's wrestler ever though. So great. ***1/2

MJF's cartoon sensibilities were somewhat muted in this match in contrast to the usual series Strong (within the ring). His selling was good and the work on the hand, while not constant, provided key moments in the match. Strong was fluid and solid as always. Good match. ***1/4

AEW: He's on hiatus with a fake retirement but Danielson. Consider Darby, Christian, Jay White too.
And I don't care for TNA...so N/A
