Jeff’s Thoughts
Before I give my thoughts I would like to take this chance to say how good it feels to be back to doing a full recap. Also I would like to take this time to thank Mr. V for covering for me on the 20th and doing a great job. Now on to tonight’s show.
I thought the opener between Henry and Primo went exactly as it should a Squash. Primo shouldn’t have been a challenge at all for Henry and they made sure that was the way it went.
I have said it before I am not a fan of Divas matches so I have nothing nice to say about either so I won’t say anything.
The main event was lame as the minute it became a handicap match the result was obvious, but the highlight of tonight did come during this match when Matt Striker made a reference to the fact that Chavo and Dolph teaming a a reunion of the one of my favorite gimmicks ever Kerwin White and his caddy.
