Watched the match live and hot damn what a series of good matches. I especially enjoyed the international championship 4way. It was so active and lively with all wrestlers showing technical prowess and Garcia’s dancing showing us the spirit of Alex Wright and his big bratwurst are alive in the young man from Buffalo.
Other than that I cant really think of a miss and unlike the vegas PPV the toronto crowd was on fire.
