Title says it all :

Gotta love the wrestling nerd in her that makes her fly to some independent show in Poland because she wants to have a match with an indie worker she likes. (and take another belt in the process of course. Ultimo Dragon would be proud)

Is this match available online?

Also glad Juice seems to have realized shaving was a mistake. 

Now somebody needs to talk to him about his ring gear. It looks like a bad spandex superhero outfit, or a leotard with a speedo covering it, with half a fringe vest stapled to his butt. It’s distractingly weird.

EDIT: I just figured it out…he’s wearing part of Colton Gunn’s tights over top of his own, so his gear matches Austin Gunn. It still looks really odd.

Holy hell, Dustin went above and beyond what I was expecting him to do putting over Kyle.

Hangman-Mox rematch was great, did a really good job of being different from their previous one(s) while maintaining quality. They are generally doing a much better job of booking Hangman as the ace this time around, and he is rising to the occasion too. If MJF maintains his end of the deal, the imminent Hangman-MJF feud (after Briscoe gets a one-off title shot) should be excellent

I thought Hangman-Moxley was plodding and sloppy. It was like they were trying to re-create Suzuki-Tanahashi from 2012 instead of having their own match. Moxley hits not one but two devastating Gotch Style Piledrivers and instead of the babyface being in peril and really selling the urgency it's just a transition spot - a simple effect DDT would have achieved the exact same thing.

I thought the best thing either guy did was Hangman's lariat on Moxley. It popped the crowd and looked great - otherwise it was just a modern 'let's get our stuff in' match. The actual highlight was the balcony dive from Darby onto the Death Riders and that was the biggest take-away since that will be the Death Riders feud moving forward.

Otherwise I think Forbidden Door is building nicely. MJF/Hangman, Swerve/Okada, Storm/Athena, Death Riders/Darby + Pals, Tag Action etc. I just hope they can find something for Mark Briscoe to do. They've invested two main event slots into him now, it'd be a shame if he was just a lamb to the slaughter.
