Jerome’s thoughts: Rampage continues to improve with good storytelling. Tonight’s show set up matches for Wednesday’s Dynamite and next week’s Rampage. The action tonight was very fast paced and the backstage interviews and segments were quick and good. Excalibur needs to slow down again. He talked way to fast tonight.
