Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as night one .. Was it only the KOW match that was like that or was it also Abby and Taker? What things turned you off? Those two matches and I also felt HBK vs low Ki had too many finishers/ false finishes. Music too as I'm not really a fan of 90's music or hip hop. I appreciate the feedback Cody. I will try to improve next time.

This show was pretty good, yeah. Opener was pretty meh to be honest. I didnt like the moveset given to HBK, I just felt it was odd and effected the flow of the match. Also, this match had far too much going on in it for the opener. A lot of flash finishes, kick outs and big moves. I prefer an opener that doesn't go too overboard, as I felt this match was big time overkill. Same can be said for a few matches on this show, they just seem to fast. Hart/Edge was really good, really good stuff. Tag Match was meh, interested to see where you take it. Hope you can gather my interest in it. Bryan/HBK was very underwhelming, I was expecting something really big and grand, but I kinda just got a solid match. Would like to see another match down the line where you maybe would work a better match. Still solid. The main event was really awesome, it was going at a much better pace for me, felt like a big match. Ending was a little weird? Yeah, weird. Read the promos and it kinda does make sense, not sure how much I like it, will wait and see. Overall, pretty good show. A lot of stuff going on. Love your attention to detail in your fed, such as the signs, fans ect..really makes it fun to watch. I forgot to ask you to rate this If you would'nt mind, I would appreciate it.

I, for one, enjoyed this show. I love your arena and all the little things you add like the signs, streamers, and hell, even The Book of Truth. By the way, the pairing of Michaels, Truth and The Bellas is awesome. Gives you that feel of an early 90s HBK. I see a few people complaing about the Assault Driver into the corner but doesn't everyone add a few moves into movesets? It looked good so I'm cool with it. You use Ki really well. Michaels' Diving Elbow looked incredible. Ki's Sweet Chin Music sell was even better. Pretty good match but I felt there were too many false finishes for this one.
Bryan Vs. Joe was stiff like expected. Cool how the match started with a strike exchange. One of my favorite spots of the night was when Bryan went for the Jawbreaker Lariat but Joe was quicker to draw and damn nearing took Bryan's head off. The finish to the match ruled with the Muscle Buster getting countered into a Yoshi Tonic. The blood was a nice touch to the match, too. MOTN.
I'm going to have to agree with Jackie Moon on Bret Hart Vs. Edge. It wasn't bad by any means, but didn't really do anything for me. There were definitely some cool moments in the match like the top rope missile dropkick getting countered into the Sharpshooter. And also, like others have said I think it was a bit much having both Edge and Hart getting split open right after Joe/Bryan.
If the purpose to the tag team match was to make the Kings of Wrestling look strong, than it succeed. I didn't mind this mainly because it could lead up to an awesome match between the Wolves and KOW. I'm interested in seeing where you go with Brian Pillman too. Nothing much to really say about this one.
Really solid match with Bryan and Michaels. I loved the idea with Michaels targeting the head to re-open Bryan's cut, but like others said, the blood seemed to be a little too consistent. The kicks on the apron looked really good. Simple, but very nice, especially how HBK flipped over the top rope into the ring. BAH GAWD. Daniel Bryan's suicide dive spill was nasty. I marked out big time for the Danielson Special. You really executed that move perfectly. Really nice way to end the match with the Crossface Chickenwing and a great ending shot with a bloody Bryan holding the trophy.
Main event time. Decent brawl. I like how they took the fight all over the arena. Other than them taking it all over the arena the match didn't really do much for me. I actually liked the ending with some big debuts a lot. I feel like with this show is that you built up a good bit of stuff. There were some filler (Edge/Hart, Tag Match) imo. You have a lot of really good ideas and now I'm waiting to see on how you capitalize on them.
It was a good show, Richard. I did enjoy Night 1 more, though this was still pretty solid. Shorter review, but I wanted to get this out. I'd probably give this an 8/10. I also agree on some of what Cody said about the mix of current stars and legends.
