Had PC issues the past week, hence the reason it is a 'bare bones' show, but it gets out what I had saved.

Good show. I like that Sheldon advanced. Can not wait to see.who is the masked man.

Sam, I've got to hand it to you. You've been putting out some of the most compelling work in this group the last couple months. You've kept us on the edge of our seats with the Cody Rhodes-Masked Man storyline and I can't wait to see how it ends, your midcard is thriving, and your tag team division is getting a lot of attention. Well done and I'm sorry for not commenting on your shows like I should have been.

That detail completely gives away the masked man... so now I just hope the reveal comes off as strong. The feud that will ensue will be very good given the two men's talents and the freshness of the matchup. The Impact Players will hopefully continue their reign for some time, here's hoping they don't have to defend against the Hybrid Athletes anytime soon. Hope I'm not the only guy pulling for a Sandow/Van Dam feud for the Television Championship.

Sorry its taken me a while to respond man. This was a solid little show, obviously good to see the Hybrid Athletes pick up a solid win, and the masked man's identity continues to intrigue me more and more. And Shelton advancing was good to, a very underrated talent.

Good win for Alex Riley over Christian who was wrestling for the NWA World Title and almost winning it recently, so good push for him, hope to see this push sustained. RVD & Ryback sounds like a match I'd like to see.
