HITS

The Tadmor Shrine Aside from the drive, I really like the location. The room is large, plenty of parking, there is room to walk around. The part I like the most is walking up to the main entrance has a big event feel to it.

I understand AIW is no longer booking shows at Our Lady of Mount Carmel so this place would be a fine replacement.

Cowboy Bob Orton Growing up watching wrestling in the 80's, Cowboy Bob's appearance is a big hit. At age 67, he didn't do much but you can tell he was happy to be there. Interesting he was on the babyface team while two members of the heel team wear cowboy hats and bandanas. Just a lot of fun.

Pedro DeLuca Pedro was the regular ring announcer until his semi-retirement after Absolution X. He has since worked mostly behind the scenes. Tonight, he was back as the host and you realized how good he is with the microphone. Let's hope we see more of Pedro wearing the suit at future events.



MISSES

None 

The rest of the card was just OK.  No major developments from this show.

The next show will most likely have Hot Sauce Tracy Williams vs. Eddie Kingston; Tim Donst vs. Matthew Justice; The Production vs. No Consequences and Joshua Bishop vs. Dominic Garrini.
