Pruett's Pause: This show was underwhelming, especially when compared to WCA's April effort. It was lacking a big standout match (which was Kyle O'Reilly vs. Davey Richards on their last show). Many of the matches felt repetitive, with wrestlers choosing just one way to tell their story with the 10 minute time limit. I'll have more to say in my full review in the next few days.
