Agree that this was a nice compact match which was not the norm for Thatcher during the title reign. Dickinson looked more competent on the mat and taking the offense of Thatcher than I expected. Strong second match on the card stuff. ***1/4

I wasn't sure how this was going to go, considering that Thatcher's technical matches (at least when Gabe's not telling him to go 30) generally have a pretty defined focus and Dickinson's a lot more wild and free-flowing than that. But in the end, they came together to have a surprisingly tight grapplefest, teasing the idea that maybe Thatcher isn't a top guy anymore after losing to ZSJ before he rallies in a believable way that doesn't kill Dickinson's allure either. Fairly well booked and fairly well executed.
