[5.0] "CKNY/Softcore was a weak opener, never getting out of first gear. Merc/Hyde actually made Merc look decent, but DJ Hyde is way too green to lead a match right now. Sabian/Cash was slow and full of interference, really disappointing as you could see the guys holding back. Joker/Dahmer was quite fun, with stiff shots from both guys at a constant pace that kept my interest fully and made them both look much more legit than they have been last year. Ruckus/Jacobs was on the shorter side and thus lacked a bit of sub stance, but their gorgeous offense was well-executed and the early days of BLKOUT does a lot to establish the personalities of the stable. The 4-Corners Match was quite fun and cool, as these rather unproven guys chained a lot of good offense and made their mark. The CHIKARA Trios match was a great midcard spotfest, as while they are still young in the business, the CHIKARA crew have developed their unique style that makes for an excellent touring attraction and always provides heaps of crisp and fluid fun. Hi-V/Army was a boring all heel match that had no dynamic and nothing going for it. Teddy/B-Boy could have been a decent match with a JAPW flavor, but the copious amount of stalling by Teddy Hart and the bait-and-switch made it barely a match and more of a confusing mess, on addition to which using Petey Williams as a sacrificial lamb when he is so much better than that is essentially wasting talent. Sonjay/Strong was a decent capper, with Roderick Strong making a nice debut on the roster and taking it to the champion who just barely escaped with his title. The show had a terrible undercard and was weighted down by the convoluted Teddy Hart angle, but many matches exceeded expectations, with Joker, Jon Dahmer, Roderick Strong & the entire CHIKARA crew having solid performances that will help them sustain momentum in the promotion, not a bad accomplishment for a little B-Show."
