I'm curious if they're going to do a KOTI next year with Texas talent.

He'd be clinically insane verified if he invited Aubrey on his final show.

Tenzan/kojima/Komatsu vs Taguchi/Nagata/Nakanhashi I'm digging the southern tag we're getting here working over Kamatsu. Taguchi really does look better in the 6 man format. Kojima gets the hot tag and does some of his token spots. I'm not sure that Lariat spot with Kojima and Nakanhashi was supposed to work out like that. I liked the set up and build to the finish or so I though. It wasn't the finish and it dragged a little bit. Man they were heading in the right direction though. Still the match told a good story. 2 3/4*

Mascara Dorada/Captain NJ vs Omega/Hall Was messing with my computer so I missed this one. Came back to this. The double tooth pick spot was cute This was fun.. The Dorada/Omega exchanges give me hope for their match. 2 1/4* EDIT

Young Bucks vs Tiger Mask/Tanaka Decent match with a solid structure. The Bucks are good playing to the crowd here. 2 1/2*

Another show for today.

Thornstorne vs Willie Mack This has been one heck of a match.Much different than everything on the show. They have done such a tremendous job and the crowd is 100% with them. These guys left everything in the ring. 4* Overall a good show with some quality wrestlers, and quality wrestling. A much more consistent show than Mercury Rising. I haven't seen Evolve 40 yet, and I saw up to the last 2 matches of KOTI night 1 which was a bad show up to that point. I'll see ROH on Tuesday, but this show has a chance to be the best show this weekend on the WWN.

All of these guys came and had one hell of a spotfest, mixed in with a southern tag. It was sloppy in spots, but just a lot of fun.

For a buffer match this is fun.

Another buffer match.

Grappler 3 vs Earl Cooter A buffer match.

Cobb vs Willie Mack Parv would have been proud of that break dancing move. Willie Mack looking good on the mat. Cobb is no slouch either. Still dissapointed about the Thatcher elimination to give this match a fair shake. Though I loved the counter of Cobb's finisher for the 3.

The match was really building to a submission took the sails out.

Thatcher vs Thornstorne I like Thorstorne with some stiff kicks and strikes to the face. Thatcher's starts to dissect the arm. Love the ripping off the elbow pad to inflict more damage. Now Thatcher is manipulating the digits that leads to the coolest nearfall ever. Thorstorne is selling the arm big. Big kick to Thatcher's face to continue that story. Vice on the neck. That curb stomp was big. Thatcher on the arm again. The arm work has been really compelling. This is turning into a great match. 3 1/2 * Now I'm sad.

Ultimo Dragon vs Juventud Guerrera Both guys are great at working the crowd and gives us a totally different dynamic than the rest of the show. Dragon's dinging of his leg went nowhere. Dragon's twisting submission was tight. A fun little homage match that I'm glad they booked.

I popped for Sonny onno. Top that as a surprise Mania. LOL

Rey Horus vs Willie Mack Willie Mack gives off a Rufus R Jones vibe to me. Indy respect moment. Horus is good at eating WM offense. Though his selling isn't very compelling. He has some real nice high spots. A moonsault into a corkscrew plancha. Super fun match. Wish we could have built to the finish a bit more. Though in the hierarchy Willie Mack is the bigger star. 3*

I think they'll have a nice dynamic.

Adam Thorstowe vs Luster the Legend A lot of energy to start. A big dive by Thorstowe that ends with the Legend taking control. That should never set up the heat unless he misses. Nice comeback by Thorstowe. A lot has happened in the 1st 5 minutes. Legen with a Texas Cloverleaf and the audience is totally buying submissions as finishes at this point. 2 1/4*

Thatcher vs Massaro Some cool grappling here. Thatcher might be the best wrestler in the world on his back. Even when he's not in control he keeps thing interesting. Nice takedown from Massaro. Another submission for Thatcher Wish it didn't happen right after a nice suplex by Massaro.. 2 3/4*

Brian Cage vs Jeff Cobb Since watching Cage in LU; it's weird watching him chain wrestle with Cobb. These suplexes that Cobb is throwing has got to be exhausting. A fun opening bout. 2 1/2*

It has.

This buzzing better go away.

Play along.
