Favorite Match: It's Kyzer vs. Drakz. It could have been an old-style summary write-up, and it would have been Kyzer vs. Drakz. To me, this was the last real high stakes, drawn out feud left standing, and now that it's over and done with, there's a vacuum left at the top. Drakz vs. Tugarin will certainly deliver, but I wonder if the fact that this one is done and over with is being overlooked. Kyzer, the character, is gone. I feel that's not resonating the way it should.
Favorite Moment: Frank retaining. This one's strictly a matter of the mettle 'behind the scenes', but if all that went down, only for Frank to lose, I feel like it would have sucked whatever air was left completely out. To me, the International Championship is singularly synonymous with Trace Demon, but Frank is inching closer and closer to staking his claim atop the echelon of the greatest International Champions of all time. As it stands, it's basically those two competing for number one, with the rest of us looking upward. Frank's insisted on being a fighting champion through and through, so I have no doubt that the ground's already sinking beneath him as he settles in atop the heap.
Biggest Surprise: Honestly? The lack of surprises. That doesn't even come from the stance of having briefly been rolled in to "what's going on". Major shows around these parts in recent years have become synonymous the the tried and true "f*cky finish", in which something or another that could be good and concise gets overbooked to the god damn moon. I can count, off the top of my head, maybe one instance of that here, and it wasn't even so much overdone as it was just tedious. It seems weird to look at the sum of the parts in that perspective, but when you've read as many of these as I have, you can't help but go in expecting the worst sometimes.

I for one am glad of it as well. Is this the first SB without all sorts of convoluted finishes etc? Probably. Thanks for the team effort that went into writing that main event. Really great stuff, though I did find the finish a bit Booker T vs HHH from Wrestlemania 19.

That's why I tagged him xD i'm a sucker for the classics... and the old last second arm flop pin to stop a standing ten count works for me. I readily accept all criticism and hate for my choice. I do wish I had known how the ladder match was going to end though as our co-main events had very similar finishes. Variety is the spice of life so I might have suggested something different for the Drakz/Kyzer ending.
