The final score: review Average

The 411

While far from a great wrestling show, Chris Jericho Rock & Wrestling Rager at Sea was a fun show with a crowd having a good time. It sucks that we didn’t get to see things like LAX vs. The Bucks and some of the other matches, but Flip Gordon’s tournament win was well done and the main event was great. While I am sure that the overall experience was great, what we got here was solid and fun.
