    Remember Savio Vega replacing Shawn Michaels at No Way Out of Texas? Well this is the exact opposite of that.

    As is tradition.

    That KOTN vs BSS encounter caught me totally by surprise. Liger seems such a class act. The videos OTT do are next level stuff.

    One hell of a show! I drove up from Limerick for it. Just home in my bed again now. Absolutely worth the round trip.

    Phenomenal show. Brought people who'd never been and it's going to be hard to top that. Whole show top to bottom was great.

    Was a good show alright, but It felt it was a bit flat in the middle (specially the martina match). I think overall, Homecoming was a better show.

    The opening 4 way tag was good, the besties are incredibly over (not surprised though because their gimmick is good). Aussie Open are excellent though.

    Starr/Barry match was unexpectedly good

    Can't believe I got to see Liger. Davis being able to hang in there with him is a big deal.

    Keitel/Creed was a good one.

    Devlin and Walter lived up to the Hype.

    On a final note, Angel Cruz and Barry are national treasures. Not sure about the Lawnmower spot, but the promo video's and ring work was brilliant.

    Small crowd, unfortunately, but that must have been expected to some degree given that it was St. Patrick's Day.

    Some very good matches though. Rough Stuff and Club Rock Shandy was class, B-Cool ended up facing Dan Barry one-on-one, Amy Alonsy and Matt Skylar have the best tagteam name in wrestling. :D

    Bruiser and Butch and Alexander Dean gave J-Money, Bedlam and Marion a vicious beating. It looked like Balance was going to make the save, but then he sided with the bad guys. :(

    Justy has been indefinitely suspended after his actions in an unsanctioned match with hometown favourite Steve Savage. :mad:

    Where were you sitting?! Reception and reaction to Martina was great! Don't think people knew what to do with the more traditional wrestling she did instead of comedy but told a great story IMO and had probably her best solo match in OTT.

    Yeah, thought it was a great match. Crowd was a bit tepid from the entrances and highs of the first few matches, the Cruzers video was such a high anything that followed was going to be in a tough spot. But they anticipated that and wrestled a match you could sink your teeth into while chilling in your seat. You need that on a card, not every match can be up up up or the crowd is wrecked for the main event. And it showed professionalism and experience from both to do that and still give a great match that did its job.

    When stuff is going wrong it’s when you know they’re looking for huge reactions, “Holy ****” chants etc and it’s just not there. That wasn’t the case here, they knew what they needed to give and did it. I also really liked how it went on before the Women’s Title match, so the local girls fighting for the title can say they were higher billed than the bigger names, but it doesn’t take away from the latter either.

    As an aside I want to show appreciation for how long & deep the booking of the whole Angel Cruzers, Justy/Gym Nasties, Team P.Rick storyline has been. I began to explain it to the people I was with on the night and gave up as there's genuinely 2/3 years of background to the whole thing. It's a credit that you can just jump in to matches like the one they had and you don't really need it all.

    It's also great that Hurricane 5 years ago would have been the biggest draw on the card as an ex WWE guy, and he's not even mentioned now when talking about the event.

    He was still awesome but great to see the audience evolve

    Don't get me wrong, I actually thought the match itself was pretty good; I was over beside the stage to the left.

    Both her and Satomura put on a good one.
