Before we get started, note most of the actual match stuff I skim.  Bless you Matt for putting in the effort you do to be so thorough, but damn, son.  And this is one of your shorter PPVs. :) Here we go!

Skyhawk retains as he should have.  I'm really digging his character a lot, and the cheap heel tactics he used during the match were classic.  Solid way to start the show.

Aries with a good PPV win that he needed considering he was originally Samoa Joe's fodder.  This helps establish him as legit.

Good win by the Rottweilers, but that result never much seemed to be in doubt.  I don't anticipate them winning the titles though.

Man, who did Killings piss off?  Squee-ashed!

The Archangels retain as I figured they would.  But the way the match ended and the fact that Homicide & Low-Ki had already wrestled one match speaks favorably for them to get a rematch.

The Cruiserweight Title match was booked perfectly.  Correct result, correct distribution of falls (c'mon... all 2/3 falls matches are going to 3), lot of drama... match of the night.

C.W. Anderson being the mystery partner was a bit underwhelming for me, but I think that's more because I find him extremely dull.  Not your fault, his.  Even a little sadder that he and Diamond went over, but with him returning and all, it makes sense.

Larry Sweeney in NAWA is a good addition, and I'm shocked to see Tony Mamaluke win the title truthfully.   Well done with the booking though, and this should breathe some new life into NAWA.

Stairway to Hell was the vicious spot match I thought it would be (not a bad thing).  Only thing that hurt this match was Steiner's involvement.  New feuds and new directions though, so holla!

Our catch your breath match as Joe clearly goes over Smiley.  Match went a little long for my liking, but that's just a nitpicky complaint.  It's almost time to get Joe into a legit feud now.

Great way to start the main event with the Mamaluke stuff.  Consider this idea stolen by me at some point soon. :)  Great heel stuff, and helps get Sweeney over right away as a douchebag.  Mamaluke flattened, which sets up him costing Waterman the World Title later in the match. Though there was a lot of schmozzy type endings tonight, I can't complain as this was great booking.  Mamaluke and Sweeney may have bitten off more than they can chew though, as now Waterman and Lynn will want them hurt.

Stylish as champ was expected as you have a hard-on for him, but it makes me wonder who his first challenger will be.  Everyone else seems busy.

Good stuff as always, Mr. Harms.
