Yeah, main event was a complete miss for me. Strong show otherwise.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Wargames I guess. The first few minutes (before there can be a pinfall) inevitably ends up just being guys doing stuff, and I didn't feel like the story between the two teams was good enough to warrant that type of match. There were some great spots but they were so choreographed.
Gargano/Black is one of those matches where I understand both guys are telling a great story and pulling off all the moves, but the old man part of me gets annoyed when two guys are clearly kicking the **** out of each other with tons of headshots and don't seem to really be selling the effects those moves should have. It's a common indie wrestling trope now and those matches are very popular though, so it's just a problem on my end.
Kairi/Shayna was a little rushed but I love the dynamic with those two. Kairi as the babyest babyface who ever babyfaced and Shayna is legit hateable (as in I get invested and want to see her lose), as are her cronies. I think both will be huge stars on the main roster.
