ALEISTER BLACK VS. BOBBY FISH ~ This is interesting. Fish does the job in his debut, and without spoiling too much, Black beats another debuting superstar next week, one who...argh, I'm spoiling too much! I'm not sure where this is going, which is nice. The bout itself was fantastic. Black is quietly smooth, and while I've only seen Fish's tag team exploits in ReDragon, it's clear that he has a future as a singles wrestler if he wants it.
MAE YOUNG QUALIFYING ~ The green-tinted Vanessa Borne (I'm not referring to her attire) takes on the brawny, bruising Jayme Hachey. Borne isn't bad or distracting, but I'm curious as to why she went over. And why the lone televised qualifying match? Questions, questions, questions...
DAIN ALL OVER ~ Killian Dain is booked to face Drew McIntyre in a numero uno contender's match in seven days, but this episode concludes with them ("them" lolz) teasing a feud between Sanity (specifically, Dain and Wolfe) and The Authors of Pain. I'm assuming that Eric Young will step in at some point. He was absent at the taping because of a death in the family.
JOHNNY WRESTLING ~ Gargano returns! He cuts a generic, yet perfectly acceptable babyface promo. Honestly, I'm more excited about his main squeeze - critically-acclaimed cutie patootie Candice LeRae - entering the Mae Young Classic. Abbey Laith (the former Kimber Lee) is my winner pick, but it wouldn't surprise me to see LeRae carry the torch.
STREET PROFITS ~ A vignette for an upcoming tag team! Shades of Cryme Tyme in that the gimmick seems to be identical. Whatever. I'm on board.
HEAVY MACHINERY VS. AUTHORS OF PAIN ~ Satisfying main event. No one expected Otis and Tucker to win the tag straps, but they had a strong showing. Being the first team to truly bearhandle the Authors is a significant achievement, win or loss. More talent with a bright future.
