2012 - Crossfire Entertainment in Nashville, TN, during an event at the Nashville Fairgrounds (aka The TNA Asylum), announced their November 2012 event would be a TV Taping for a national TV show that would be shot in both HD and 3D.

The outlet was not announced, although word making the rounds backstage before the show was that it would air on a subsidiary network run by Paramount, which could be EPIX or possibly a new network.

While "national" was the term used, it remains to be seen how much of a reach the new network will have but obviously, this is a positive for Crossfire, who have been putting on strong shows and drawing sellouts at the venue for almost a year.

Sadly, the promotion would instead go out of business. There was no sign of any actual TV deal.

2017 - Over the Top's Wrestlerama took place in Dublin's National Stadium on Saturday 8/5 and was the biggest independent card ever put together in Ireland. Matthew Macklin filed the following results:

OTT has an atmosphere unlike any other promotion in the world, and is well worth checking out. OTT gives you everything from brawling, flying, technical wrestling & storytelling to whacky comedy with a higher level of production than your standard independent. Results from the show:

*Jordan Devlin defeated Matt Cross. This was a really hot opener.

*2 Unlimited defeated Jody Fleisch & Johnny Storm. Lots of crazy high flying, with great performances from two veterans of the UK scene, Fleisch & Storm.

*Charlie Sterling & Zack Gibson defeated The Lads From The Flats. Solid tag match with Gibson & Sterling getting unbelievable heat before the match.

*Jimmy Havoc defeated Paul Tracey in a No Rules match. Lots of brawling and weapon use. Tables, thumbtacks, and even and 8x10 used to cause harm.

*The Kings of the North defeated CCK (Travis Banks, Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos) to retain the OTT Tag Team titles. This was an excellent match between two of the hottest trios in Europe. Lots of crazy tag sequences and big near falls.

*Ricochet defeated Matt Sydal. Excellent match with Sydal working over the knee of Ricochet.

*Joey Ryan & Angel Cruz defeated B Cool & Candice LeRae. This really has to be seen to be believed. Mick Foley, who was commissioner for the show, got involved at the end.

*British Strong Style defeated Jeff Cobb & War Machine. This was absolutely incredible. One of the wildest matches ever in OTT with brawling all over the building and ridiculous feats of strength on display. Worth the price of the show alone.

*Session Moth Martina defeated Katey Harvey to win the OTT Women's Championship. Martina' entrance here was a spectacle that really needs to be seen. Almost 2000 people raving with glow sticks.

*Mark Haskins defeated Ryan Smile & Marty Scurll to win the NLW Heavyweight Championship . This was an outstanding main event with incredible performances from all three guys, particularly Smile, who has been killing it with his storytelling and facial expressions ever since turning heel a few months ago.

2017 - New Japan Pro Wrestling ran G1 Climax Night 14 in Osaka. Paul Crockett filed the following report:

Osaka has been a very hot city for New Japan, especially in recent years. With a loaded card with a lot of potential consequences, this crowd and especially the wrestlers did not disappoint.

B BLOCK: Tama Tonga (2-4; 4 Points) vs. Toru Yano (2-4; 4 Points)

Both men were already mathematically eliminated, so this was more for show. For those that haven't kept up on New Japan in the last few years, for some reason, Yano is TERRIFIED of Tonga. The running gag between them is that Tonga always sneaks up on him and scares him, and he did so a few times before the match began. This was entertaining for the three plus minutes it went. Typical Yano shenanigans in that Yano tried every underhanded tactic he could think of to get a cheap win. Lucky for him, the ref distraction followed by a low blow and a roll-up scored him the victory.

WINNER: Toru Yano

B BLOCK: Satoshi Kojima (0-6; 0 Points) vs. SANADA (4-2; 8 Points)

SANADA was still alive at the start of this match. Kojima was very much dead in the water. Both men have put on fantastic performances in different ways, but given his status as the veteran who came close but couldn't pull off the win mixed with the potential to play spoiler, the crowd was very much being the leader of the Bread Club.

This was a really well done match. SANADA did a great job stacking the deck against Kojima, including a low blow early to put all of the sympathy on Mr. Cozy Lariat. SANADA twice went for the Muta Moonsault, but Kojima got out the way both times. SANADA tried the Skull End (reverse DDT into a modified Dragon Sleeper), but Kojima hit an inverted DDT to get out of it. He hit two monster lariats and he finally scored the win. The crowd was very much into it and it was a truly great moment for this tournament, and it also eliminated SANADA.

WINNER: Satoshi Kojima

B BLOCK: Minoru Suzuki (4-2; 8 Points) vs. Michael Elgin (2-4; 4 Points)

Elgin was eliminated from contention with his loss to Yano. Suzuki is very much in the hunt with a victory.

Given the only thing Elgin had to fight for was pride and a shot at the NEVER Title, I thought Suzuki and his henchmen at ringside (Taichi & El Desperado) did a good job of getting the crowd to rally behind Elgin with interference Even though I'm not personally not into interference, I thought it was done a lot better than it has been in the past, as in it wasn't as blatant as it sometimes is in New Japan and didn't make the ref look as stupid as they sometimes are made to look.

Suzuki was going for a lot of submissions on the arm of Elgin, which was worked over by Suzuki and blasted by chairs by Taichi & Desperado. Suzuki had a sleeper sunk in deep, but when he let it go, Elgin powered up and hit an Elgin Bomb for the win. Nice set-up for a rematch in the fall.

WINNER: Michael Elgin

B BLOCK: Kenny Omega (5-1; 10 Points) vs. Juice Robinson (1-5; 2 Points)

After his huge win over Kojima on Night 2 at Korakuen Hall, Robinson has been on a losing streak. His performances have been outstanding, and add into the fact that he has been selling a knee injury in most of his matches, audiences have really rallied behind him and he has become a standout of the tournament. Omega is hot on the tail of Okada, trailing by only two points.

Juice put on another clinic in selling, and Omega played the role of the confident villian. The finish was really spectacular. Juice had been trying in vein to hit the Pulp Friction, but Omega kept getting out of it. Omega was able to nail the V-Trigger and smelled blood. He went for the One Winged Angel, but Juice countered and sunk in a tight small package to score the massive upset. So massive, in fact, that Juice couldn't contain his smile and practically tackled Red Shoes in celebration. It was a tremendous moment that the crowd ate up.

WINNER: Juice Robinson

B BLOCK: Kazuchika Okada (6-0; 12 Points) vs. EVIL (4-2; 8 Points)

With Omega's loss, Okada just needed a win to wrap up the block. One thing to note in this tournament is that with each successive win, Okada has become increasingly cocky. He is practically shot out of a cannon as he comes from behind the curtain in the arena, showing a level of energy that has been uncharacteristic for him. It's a really brilliant character twist, as he hasn't lost in singles competition for an entire year, and given his undefeated status, he is playing things up like he is invincible and has the block in the bag. Tremendous touch by him.

The match was absolutely fantastic. While Okada dominated early, it morphed into a back and forth affair for the rest of it. The finishing sequence was, per usual with Okada, off the charts. Okada hit two half-Rainmakers and went for a full one when EVIL countered with a headbutt. He went for an STO but Okada countered with a great German suplex. Okada went for another Rainmaker, but EVIL countered with an STO for the giant upset and the crowd went bananas. Okada sold this like DEATH and was laid out on the mat for over a minute. Really great stuff.

WINNER: EVIL

B BLOCK STANDINGS:

Okada (6-1; 12 Points)
Omega (5-2; 10 Points)
EVIL (5-2; 10 Points)
Suzuki (4-3; 8 Points)
SANADA (4-3; 8 Points)
Elgin (3-4; 6 Points)
Yano (3-4; 6 Points)
Tonga (2-5; 4 Points)
Robinson (2-5; 4 Points)
Kojima (1-6; 2 Points)

2020 - Chicago's Warrior Wrestling became the first promotion to run in that area since the advent of COVID-19, holding "Friday Night Lights" on Friday 8/5 outdoors on the football field of Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois, USA. The outdoor event aired live on www.FITE.TV and is available for replays right now. Mike Johnson filed the following PPV report:

It is obvious watching the show that there were extreme social distancing measures in place as fans were seated 15 feet apart from other groups and it was noted that fans were allowed to bring their own food and drinks in order to encourage them to remain socially distanced. My estimated guess is there were about 500 or so fans in attendance, but given how spread out everyone was, it may have been more.

There were a lot of pauses during the show for the ropes, buckles, etc. to be cleaned.

The referees were all wearing face masks and gloves, which is certainly the smartest move.

Kylie Rae vs. Rae Lyn - Winner Becomes Top Contender for Warrior Wrestling Women's Championship.

The PPV began with no audio and Lyn in the ring. Kylie hit the ring and they played to the crowd for a bit. The audio finally kicked in two minutes later.

They noted the winner will be in line to face Warrior Wrestling Women's Champion Tessa Blanchard.

They locked up with Lyn grabbing a headlock. Kylie reverses but Lyn uses the ropes to reverse back to the original position. Kylie used a side headlock takedown and controlled Lyn on the mat. Lyn grabbed a head scissors around Rae's neck but Kylie bridged out. They went back and forth. Lyn went for a dropkick but Kylie shoved it away.

Rae went for a superkick but Lynn avoided it and took her down, using her boot to smother Rae's face. Kylie was sent hard into the corner and peppered with forearms. Rae was trapped in an armbar submission variation but Rae fired back, only to be dropkicked. Rae was worked over in the corner and whipped into the opposite corner. Rae avoided a charge but was sent up and over to the apron. They went back and forth until Lyn caught Kylie with another dropkick, then cinched in a Dragon Sleeper.

Rae fought to her feet but was nailed with a double knee strike. Lyn scored several near falls out of that maneuver. Lyn ascended to the top rope but was nailed. Rae and Lyn battled. Kylie set up and executed a superplex. Lyn attempted to attack but Rae avoided the charge and nailed a lariat. Kylie caught her with the Kylie Special but Lyn kicked out at the last second.

They battled back and forth. Rae nailed a Russian Legsweep and went for a Crossface submission but Lyn turned it into a pinfall submission. Lynn caught Rae with a cutter for a two count. Lyn went for a move but Rae caught her with a forward roll and scored the pin.

Your winner, Kylie Rae!

OK match.

Isaias Velazquez vs. Tre Lamar

Velasquez is a regular in the Chicago wrestling scene. Lamar, billed from Ohio, has worked a bit for GCW in recent months.

Some nice athletic work right at the bell. Velazquez snapped Lamar's neck on the top rope, sending him to the floor and nailed a tope suicida. Lamar returned with a dive of his own. Velazquez was tossed into the ring. Lamar nailed a cross body off the top for a two count. Lamar went for a superkick but Velazsquez caught his leg and went for a backslide for a two count. He went for another pinfall attempt.

Velazquez locked in a Cobra Clutch variation on the mat, trying to force a submission but Lamar fought his way out. Velazquez cut him off with a knee strike and went right back to the neck, trying to wear down Lamar. Lamar fought his way out but was rolled up for a two count. They battled back and forth. Lamar went for a Pele Kick but was kicked in mid-rotation, crashing to the mat. Velazquez scored a two count.

They battled back and forth with strikes and kicks. Lamar used a German suplex and rolled through, nailing a kick to the head. They rebounded off the ropes and crashed into each other, attempting a bodypress at the same time. They battled back and forth with cops. Lamar nailed a spinning neckbreaker for a two count. Lamar nailed a kick to the head and ascended to the top rope, nailing a frog splash into an flying elbow. He covered Velazquez but a foot on the rope paused the pinfall attempt.

Velazquez kicked off Lamar's charge and nailed several strikes and a kick to the head for a two count. Velazquez nailed a top rope foot stomp for a close two count. He followed up with a series of kicks to the mid-section and the back. He nailed a Cactus Piledriver and scored the pin.

Your winner, Isaias Velazquez!

Athletically, they worked really hard and looked best with their aerial maneuvers. These two will only improve with experience.

Lance Archer vs. Sam Adonis

Adonis has worked CMLL and a ton of independents and is the younger brother of Corey Graves. He's a total trash-talking heel. The idea here was that perhaps Archer would put him in his place. Adonis slapped Archer at the bell, showing he won't be intimidated. Archer dared him to bring it. Archer rebounded off the ropes but was caught with a forearm smash. Archer immediately cut him off and it was a back and forth slugfest.

Adonis tried to go for a backslide but it didn't end well. Archer caught him with a Pounce for a two count. Archer argued with the referee over the count. Adonis' back was being pounded but he was able to kick off a charge. Lots of stiff back and forth strikes. Archer caught Adonis with a chokeslam for a two count. Adonis attempted a Rings of Saturn variation but Archer made it to the ropes. Archer snapped him with a chokeslam but suplexed him out of it, which looked great.

Archer nailed a big running elbow and followed up with a second. Adonis caught him with a running boot on the third attempt. Adonis went to the top but was knocked off the top. Archer scored another two count with a chokeslam. Archer grabbed him with the Claw but Adonis went into the ropes. The referee forced a break and Archer glared at him. Archer grabbed Adonis for a Crucifix Bomb but Adonis slipped out and lowblowed him. The referee called for the DQ.

Your winner by DQ, Lance Archer!

This was a good big man match but the finish was obviously unsatisfying in the moment.

Cousin Jake Something vs. Joey Janela

It's Impact vs. AEW, in theory!

It's pretty obvious Janela has been working hard at cutting weight and improving his look.

They locked up and Something used his power to shove Janela to the mat. They locked up a second time and Something went for a waistlock takedown but Janela grabbed the ropes. Janela dropped down to attempt a takedown but Something was too strong. They locked up and Janela grabbed a side headlock. Janela was sent into the corner and shoulderblocked down.

They battled to the floor, where Janela nailed a dive then hit a senton off the apron to the floor. Janela nailed a flying elbow on the floor. Janela went down holding his knee. Something was backed into the ring as officials checked on Janela's well being. Is this an old school injury fakeout? Janela limped towards the ring but couldn't put weight on the left knee. I am guessing this is indeed a fake out. Janela pulled himself into the ring but Something attacked and stomped away at Janela's leg and foot.

Something elevated Janela and drove his knee down. He pulled Janela to the apron and smashed his leg into the apron, then snapped it into the ring post. Janela fought to his feet but was pulverized with a running forearm. Janela kicked up at the last second. Something continued to beat on Janela and nailed a spinning back suplex. Jake went to the top rope but Janela leapt up and thumbed him in the eye. Roddy Piper would be proud. Janela began pounding on Something, working him over. Janela set up for a superplex but his knee slipped as he went for the move. He did execute it but grabbed his knee after hitting the move.

They pulled themselves to their feet. Janela charged but was sent up and over and his knee buckled when he hit the apron. Something drilled him with some elbows. Janela fired back but was obviously in a bad way. Janela went to the top and standing on one leg, came off with a missile dropkick for a two count. Janela has done a pretty damn good job selling the knee all the way through this.

They went to the floor, where Janela nailed a kick to the back. They battled back and forth with punches. Janela lifted Something up on his shoulders and nailed a DVDR on the apron. Both men crashed to the floor. Something came back to life and hit a HELL of a dive over the top. Janela ducked a lariat and nailed one of his own.

Something is knocked into the ropes and his arms get wrapped up in them. Janela nailed a series of rights and rebounded off the ropes but was caught with a sidewalk slam for a two count. Something came off the top with a flying headbutt but missed. Something was drilled with a package piledriver and pinned.

Your winner, Joey Janela!

A damn good back and forth bout. Something is one of the more underrated talents on the Impact roster and he really shined here. Janela is obviously working hard to improve and did a great job selling here and worked super hard. At this point, easily the best thing on the show so far and I'd be happy to see a rematch down the line. I can see Something getting a LOT of attention when time comes for his next contract offer. Someone to watch for sure.

Spartan Stadium Stampede Rumble

Obviously named for the AEW spectacular.

The first competitor was Marvelous Matt Nix, who came out to Prince's Purple Rain and was all purple, even his hair. The second competitor was Dan the Dad, who was dressed like someone's annoying dad, with glasses, a hat and a blue polo shirt. Beast Man was next, coming out adorned with a fur robe, a bone and an bear's head. He was a big, burly guy right out of the days of the Crusher. Elayna Black came out wearing a small coffin box. She opened it and there were photos inside, I assume of victims. They noted it was her debut for the promotion. Next out was Manders, who was a Cowboy carrying a bullrope and came out to Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive. Beast Man was chewing on the ropes. That can't be advisable. Davey Bang was a smaller competitor who came out drinking energy drinks. They said he's a local who was making his debut for the company. Alex Cypher, Nacho the Clown and Gibaldi came out together, billed as the Chicago Sideshow. The final competitior was IWTV Champion Warhorse, who was just on AEW TV, challenging Cody for the TNT title. This entire deal had a very 80s wrestling feel to it with everyone pretty much playing over the top characters.

I expected a Battle Royal but instead everyone was on the outside with traditional tags. Warhorse powerslammed Black and was beseiged upon by the Sideshow, fighting them off. They played Gabilaldi as a monster who couldn't be taken down easily. Dan the Dad got annoyed by the Sideshow and took his belt off to punish them. That was pretty funny.

Bang and Manders pretended to do a wild west showdown with finger guns. Lots of silliness here for the sake of fun as you might imagine. Absolutely different from everything else on the show, which is fine as you want different things as opposed to the same style match playing out 1,000 times over three hours. Beast Man hit a CRAZY tope suicida on Nix, which was frightening and amazing all at once. Bang went for a springboard flying bodypress but was easily caught and dispatched. He used Bang as a weapon (think Cactus Jack & Mikey Whipwreck) and later on Bang tried to use drinking the energy drink as Spinach to his Popeye.

Black worked a hard-hitting style in the ring, bringing forearms to Warhorse and Bang. Dan the Dad returned to the ring drinking a glass of tea while hitting spots. That was pretty unique. He nailed a Flatliner on Manders for a two count. Beast Man wiped out the Sideshow and nailed a Fall Away Slam on Gibaldi. Manders hit a moonsault but Beast Man broke it up and they chopped at each other. Manders speared Beast Man off the apron, the spot that Big E often does and it looked just as impressive here.

WarHorse finally scored the pin on Nix.

Your winner, Warhorse!

This may have been a little too long but I appreciated some of the silly creativity here.

The Rascalz vs. Blake Christian & Benjamin Carter & Alex Zayne

The Rascalz have really built up quite a body of work in Impact in recent months. Christian has really shined lately in GCW with some crazy highspots. Zayne has popped up in ROH and has looked good there. Carter is a UK talent who is now living here full-time.

Tons of fast paced action here with the Rascalz shining early on. Carter was worked over for some time but kept kicking up. He nailed a springboard dropkick on Trey but was grabbed before he could make the tag. Interesting that The Rascalz are the ones getting all the heat on their opponents. Zane made the hot tag and hit a flip into a double rana off the ropes, which looked cool. Christian hit a leap over the top to the floor. Lots of big spots to the floor, leading to Zayne hitting a springboard corkscrew dive onto everyone, taking out the pile.

Everyone brawled on the floor. Way too much to recap but it was all frenzied action that led to everyone being laid out. The crowd was super into all this. The madness continued until The Rascalz scored the win.

Your winners, The Rascalz!

This reminded me of an old school Michinoku Pro six man tag. Just fun wrestling all the way through at hyperspeed.

Warrior Wrestling Champion Brian Pillman Jr. vs. Robert "Ego" Anthony with Frank The Clown.

This is Pillman's first title defense. Frank the Clown is the same guy from the Holy Foley reality series on the WWE Network. He did some annoying mic work.

They locked up and early on Anthony controlled Pillman on the mat with a hammerlock. Pillman used some athleticism to escape into a headstand and kicked Anthony in the face. Anthony was knocked to the floor, where Pillman followed and worked him over with hard chops. Anthony cut Pillman off and worked him over, scoring several two counts. Frank the Clown interfered as well. Pillman was locked in a neck/arm submission, trying to wear the champ down.

Pillman fired back with several aerial moves and scored a two count. He went for a suplex but Anthony slipped out and drilled his knee from behind. Anthony attacked the knee and locked on a single-leg Boston Crab. Pillman used his strength to push out but Anthony grabbed him and scored a two count after a DVDR. Anthony worked over Pillman and scored several two counts. Pillman made a comeback but was favoring his knee.

They battled back and forth with forearms and punches. Anthony told Pillman he was an embarassment and demanded he admit he was a failure. Pillman caught him with a spinning neckbreaker for a two count. Pillman nailed a Jackhammer for the pin. They had teased that finisher over the course of the bout.

Your winner and still Champion, Brian Pillman Jr.

A solid, old school style bout.

Brian Cage vs. Jeff Cobb

Lots of big man power spots early on. Cage took Cobb to the mat but Cobb powered out and went for a leglock takedown. Cage was too powerful to be taken off his feet, even by Cobb, and drilled him with a kick. They faced off, trying to size up the other. They went for a test of strength. Cage sent Cobb into the buckles and rolled through, nailing a kick to the face.

Cage unloaded with chops in the corner. He followed up with several shoulderblocks. He continued to maul Cobb. Cobb fought back and tackled him in the corner. Cobb went for another shoulderblock in the corner but Cage moved, leading to Cobb smashing his shoulder into the ring post. Cobb drilled him with a clothesline, scoring another two count. Cage nailed a big bicycle kick to the face and tossed Cobb out of the ring to the ring apron.

They battled briefly on the apron before going to the floor. Cage nailed a back suplex onto the apron. Cage tripped Cobb into the ropes and nailed the biggest 619 ever, which got a big reaction from the crowd. Cage nailed a delayed vertical suplex, holding Cobb up for a long time before scoring a two count. Cage charged for a kick but was caught and nailed with Cobb's finisher, Tour of the Islands. Cage was caught with a leaping back elbow and a number of strikes in the corner.

Cobb nailed a big Samoan Drop and drilled Cage with a standing moonsault for a two count. Cage caught Cobb on the outside and muscled him over the ropes, slamming him for a two count. Cobb was pulled up on Cage's shoulders but slipped down. Cage kicked him down and nailed a discus punch. Cobb caught him out of nowhere with an Olympic Slam for another close two count.

They battled back and forth with near falls. Cage charged Cobb with a big clothesline and followed up with a German suplex. Cobb popped up and nailed one. Cage popped up and they fired away with lariats, taking the other out. They recovered and beat the heck out of each other with punches and chops. Cage nailed a superkick to the face but Cobb fired back with one of his own.

Sam Adonis hit the ring and attacked both. The referee called for the bell. Lance Archer hit the ring and ran off Adonis.

The promoter came out and said that earlier, Adonis ruined his match and now he's trying to ruin the main event. If he wants to pick a fight, he's got what he wanted and they announced it was now a Fatal Four Way with the first pinfall winning........

The crowd popped.

Brian Cage vs. Jeff Cobb vs. Sam Adonis vs. Lance Archer

Everyone surrounded Adonis as the crowd chanted that he "f***ed up." They wouldn't be wrong! Adonis got worked over but Archer soon nailed Cobb, ending the alliance.

Archer and Cobb faced off. Adonis shoved them into each other and rolled up Archer for a two count. Everyone battled. Archer nailed a big cross body on Cage and called for the Murder Bomb. Adonis pulled Archer out before he could execute the move. Cage nailed a big dive to the floor, taking out all the other competitors. The crowd chanted for Cage.

Back in the ring, Cage worked over Adonis, but was kicked off as he went for a charge into the corner. Archer returned and attempted a suplex but Cage reversed it and nailed a delayed vertical suplex on Archer, which was insanely impressive looking. Cage and Cobb returned to the fray. Everyone battled. Adonis nailed a DVDR on Cobb then kicked Cage in the corner.

Adonis worked over Archer in the corner, raining down with punches. Archer pulled him up into a powerbomb. Archer charged back and forth, nailing big elbows on Cage and Cobb in opposite corners. Adonis nailed him but was walloped with a big right hand. Archer walked the ropes, old school, and came off with a springboard moonsault. How did WWE have nothing for this guy years ago? Cobb grabbed him for Tour of the Islands.

Cobb and Cage battled in the center of the ring. Cage caught him and dove Cobb down to the mat with a faceplant. Adonis nailed a Northern Lights suplex with a bridge for a two count. Cage nailed a big knee to the face of Adonis. Cobb went for a lariat but Adonis ducked and nailed a slam. Everyone was down as the crowd chanted "This is awesome." They were having a hell of a bout.

Archer placed Adonis on top and worked him over with chops. He nailed the Crucifix Bomb but Cage broke up the pinfall.Cobb nailed Tour of the Islands on Cage. Archer grabbed Cobb for a sidewalk slam. Adonis went for a lowblow on Archer, as he did earlier but this time Archer saw it coming and kneed him in the face. Cage knocked Archer out of the ring, nailed the Drillclaw on Adonis and scored the pin.

Your winner, Brian Cage!

A fun four way building off a good big man main event. I liked that the promotion brought back Archer and Adonis so that they didn't leave that lame finish from earlier floating out there. It also made sense that Adonis took the loss here so that he could pay for his sins of the DQ earlier and ruining the originally scheduled main event.

Obviously, Pillman Jr. vs. Cage is the direction they are going for here.
