Shoot to Thrill thoughts!
-opening match really made me feel bad for Zeke, especially with the Bastard playing as dirty as he can without breaking the rules.
-“Long live the true Davey Jones” indeed. That’s gonna be a fun match.
-Quinn vs. Legal- loved Nelson flipping off the crowd, and Nelson seems to be showing shades of Ziggler in this match it seems? Fun match, nice clash of personalities, and Legal powering through his injury gives him a big boost heading forward.
-Ooooooh, can Matt smell what TJ Cole (BAYBAY!) is cooking? Will our masked heroes make their mark on the Sons of Cerberus? Or will they be made into bloodmarks on the mat?
-Friendmigos vs. SoC- god, I love the silliness of Bishop and Dwyer. We’re almost teaching New Day levels, but not quite. The boys put up a good fight, but no surprise we got eaten alive.
-Nice to see Johnson and Clutch getting along for once!
-Right, so that Davey Jones stuff really messed with my head. I mean, was the Pirate ever real? How did he get smaller in the first place? I’m glad we’ve got the Lunatic back, and it’s a cool moment, but this one’s gonna need a bit of explaining for me to fully get my head around. Also, damn, way to make your comeback awesome.
-Plaid Dad is probably the best running gag that I didn’t come up with in FPW.
-Azazel vs. TJ Cole (BAYBAY!)- surprisingly fast-paced for someone as methodical and mad as Azazel. I can dig it. The double shooting star press was really cool, the stairs spot was suitably sickening, and somehow Cole was able to kick out?! Then the roles get reversed, plenty of false finishes, damn fine match of coffee.
-El Tímido is coming! Hide your wives and daughters!
-Main event felt a bit short after such a saga between Cole and Azazel, but it’s interesting to see how Johnson and Clutch will go from working together well enough to take down the champion, to a Lion’s Den match. Smart having MDE take the pin, keeps Thompson strong, but I’m surprised they lost.
-Overall, great way to bring us back in! All sorts of action and- what’s this? A post-credits scene? Super Che... can come back...? *Fashion Files “DUN DUN”*
