The 411: I went into this PPV with minimal hopes. I knew Finlay vs. Benoit would deliver, I thought MNM vs. K & L would deliver and they did. King Booker of T will be nothing short of tremendous as he and Sharmell have become two of the best characters in the E with their wacky antics. Those things alone made this an enjoyable PPV for me. The matches I thought would sucks didn't, but there were a lot of questionable things here to me. I will go a very HIGH thumbs in the middle, almost thumbs up and a 5.9 out of 10 as it was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be and some of the booking actually made some sense for once!
 
Final Score:  5.9   [ Not So Good ]  legend
