Opening Match
jOlt Tag Team Championship
Heirs of Wrestling vs Team VIAGRA vs Avispa Clan vs RingRats
Thoughts: Won't say much since I wrote the match, but I believe the belts made their way to the right team here! I really enjoy the HoW and it's nice to see them with the titles.

Segment
Freedom
Thoughts: With everything going down, I didn't expect Chris Register to quit. What Lee was doing in making the match between Titan and Register, I thought that was going to be the answer. nice little swerve there. So one must wonder if Register is gone for good or if this is just the beginning.
-----------------------------
Match #2
Mask vs Mask
One Eye vs Phoenix
Thoughts: All I can say is "HA! I CALLED IT". Nice little ending there with the Dragonfire. The match itself was pretty good as I enjoyed the pacing of it. This definitely sets up a continuation immediately or can be held off when Dusty comes off of hiatus. Either way, this was still a great read.

Segment
Getting Off Without a Warning
Thoughts: Laz returns from suspension and goes to pay Bane a quick little visit. He gets under Bane's skin and provokes him. Then the man with a shovel and no garden steps in and tells Bane will he end him if he continues his pipe rampage. You know Bane won't stop because of that. I smell Rune performing some pipe sodomy in the future. Nice little filler segment here and Laz is back so that's a plus.
-----------------------------
Match #3
Relentless & International Championships
Nashvillian (R) vs Jonathan Conspiracy (I)
Thoughts: JCON walked into the International Championship by defeating an influenced Rush and then stumbled into losing it to Nashvillian all thanks to the Terrorists and G.G. Gentry causing JCON's balls to be about 2 Shades Bluer. Nice build up here with JCON looking to put this match away and then getting virtually screwed. Now the International Title has been absorbed into the Relentless title through a process of osmosis, symbiosis, synergy, and redneckism. Will be interesting to see where JCON goes from here. Nicely done.

Segment
The Only Original
Thoughts: Nice promo segment here from Reno Davis, but a little on the short side for a promo that's supposed to set up the second ring. If jOlt's crew is that fast and awesome, then I want them to come fix my house! Reno's all pumped up and with this, many would feel he could be one of the favorites to walk out of the match tonight with a contendership under his belt!
-----------------------------
Match #4
Words Words Words Words Words Words Words Words
aka The Divide and Conquer Match
Thoughts: Seriously.. what the hell @Jesse Ramey! I was talking to you on AIM when you began writing this and you pumped THIS out! /BOW. Damn son! I did read the whole thing and for a match of this caliber, it was amazingly written. My hat's off to you Jesse. The ending though, was a little wonky. Not writing, but booking wise. I can understand 2 people hitting the floor at the same time, but 4? Something like that would likely end up on Botchamania lol. But we have no decisive winner so we can pretty much imagine that over the next arc we will see these four duke it out to see who can face the NEW jOlt Champion, Sylo, who will be answering questions at some restaurant in New York City after the PPV.... ah f.uck I just pulled a Michael Cole Wrestlemania Moment.

Match #5
Underground Championship
Derecho vs Citizen

Segment
Out of the Frying Pan
Thoughts: Interesting segment here. Dawn Cassidy wants to know about the outcome of the D&C Match and we have Chris Titan and apparently a stable of originals who want to take THEIR jOlt back. Just as long as they don't end up getting cancelled and replaced by a Super Sloppy Double Dare version of Rock the House, I think this originals angle can work. It'll be interesting see what Titan and company come up with.
-----------------------------
MAIN EVENT
jOlt Championship / Legacy Championship
Superstar Vince Jacobs vs Sylo
Thoughts: Sylo coming out to "Pet" by APC... nice touch. Justin explained the significance of this and I like that he decided to use it. All I have to say is DAMN and I thought my match with Citizen was a war. This was pretty damn amazing! Sylo claims the jOlt Championship and is crowned the final LoC Legacy Champion, signalling the end of an era. Amazing match! Great job to Justin and Ed for pulling this story out, but I have a hunch that this isn't over, but it'll be hard to top this.!
-----------------------------
Overall thoughts: Despite not many words, this was the longest review I've done due to the sheer size of this card. I read every word and loved every bit of it. From opening match to the finish. Everything served its purpose and epitomized Arc 1 nicely. New stories began, some ended, some continued. It's what a PPV should be!
Overall Grade: A!
Amazing job to everyone involved!
