Closing Thoughts: This was a very average show up until the main event. The main event by itself took it from a thumbs in the middle show to a thumbs up show. Even so, I thought the main event was hurt a bit by having a commercial in the middle of what was already a pretty short match anyways.

The segments with Borash outside of Cornette's office were a good idea, but I thought they went a little overboard on it and they got kind of redundant. Eric Young was hilarious, though. When he went running through the crowd during the main event with the sign, I couldn't stop laughing.

The opening match with Daniels and Styles vs. The Diamonds in the Rough was pretty good, although it was very short. I would have rather seen some of the Borash pieces cut so that this match could have been given more time. For example, instead of showing Christian entering the office in one segment and leaving during another, they could have cut it down to one segment and opened up some more time for other things (the opening match). Granted that is probably only a minute or so, but this added in with cutting down some of the other "Outside Cornette's Office" segments as well could have given the opening match a couple more minutes at least.
