Show Thoughts
Solid show all the way through. All my matches were C- or better and I expected 3 of them to be worse than that so I'm very happy with the results.
Had a big swerve in The Giant turning so he can start his major push and Sting dropped the title to Michaels (fufills his contract of a Main Event Title run too) with some help from Bret Hart...I think you will all like where this ends up.
