Illusion 3 Thoughts:
Despite having twelve matches on the card, this show was only slightly longer than their usual shows and was finished before 10:30 with an 8:00 bell time.
There was an interesting mix among the wrestlers on this show. You had a few wrestlers who have been in the business for a short period of time while there were a number of wrestlers who have been in the business for a long time. It is good to see the interaction between these wrestlers in the ring.
They have been teasing a split between the members of the Miracle Violence Connection 2006 and with what happened on this show, I would expect to see something happen soon.
I liked the concept of the singles matches with the participants in the main event during the show. I thought it would have been interesting to see the results of those four matches affect the eight man tag match.
Elite Wrestling Entertainment returns to action on Friday, April 28, 2006 in Ybor City, Florida (just outside Tampa) for its ‘Florida Revival’ show featuring Dusty Rhodes versus Ron Bass, Sandman, Jake Roberts, and many more legends of Florida Wrestling.

Illusion 3 Thoughts:
Despite having twelve matches on the card, this show was only slightly longer than their usual shows and was finished before 10:30 with an 8:00 bell time.
There was an interesting mix among the wrestlers on this show. You had a few wrestlers who have been in the business for a short period of time while there were a number of wrestlers who have been in the business for a long time. It is good to see the interaction between these wrestlers in the ring.
They have been teasing a split between the members of the Miracle Violence Connection 2006 and with what happened on this show, I would expect to see something happen soon.
I liked the concept of the singles matches with the participants in the main event during the show. I thought it would have been interesting to see the results of those four matches affect the eight man tag match.
