Winner and still TCW Jr. Heavyweight Champion: Kincaid
Great match between what I think many people could call two of the best wrestlers in TCW. Definitely the top two Jr. Heavyweights. It does start off a bit slower than I would have thought, but it picks up quickly and does not stop. Kincaid breaks out more of his unique offense, even if there was a miss at one point. I would love to see these battle again, which I believe will happen given that Americos lost this match due to the sneaky Boyd Bradford.

This match is a draw
Decent match to keep the rivalry going. These two tend to have a good strongstyle battle, with lots of striking and suplexes. I can’t help but feel like they held back just a little bit, which is not a bad thing considering this feud is not over. At least I would hope so. Walker is a strong guy, so it is a lot of fun seeing the stout Sigmon use his technical skills against him.

Winner via pinfall: Lance Hoyt and ‘King’ Shane Williams
Really fun tag team match to end the show. While I’m not a fan of Hoyt’s face run here in TCW, he is taking to it pretty well. He just fits the profile of a heel better, in my opinion. That being said, the interactions between him and Storm make me anticipate Hoyt’s title shot more. They have good chemistry and can put on a really good match. Williams has been a little shaky since his return, so a win was good for him, but not getting the pin hurts a bit. That being said, Hoyt pinning Storm builds up the title match more.

The 411: This was a really good show. TCW really stepped it up and kept it in the ring for most of the running time. There were only two backstage segments, and they were okay. Nothing special. The wrestling, however, was very good. Kincaid keeps proving why he is one of the top wrestlers on the roster, and Sigmon/Walker is building up to quite the finale. TCW also made me want to see the Heavyweight Title match more, and that is good.
 
Final Score:  8.0   [ Very Good ]  legend
