The Great Muta & Tommy Dreamer defeated Michael Elgin & Johnny Impact @ 20:10 via pin [**½] While I think it wet way too long, they had a hot crowd, and used a lot of smoke and mirrors, and gave us enough trademark Muta spots to make it fun. It was solid and no one almost died.

– Dreamer puts over Muta big time post match, noting that he wanted to be Tommy Acid and spit Acid like Muta spit Mist. He then tells Muta he’s welcome in his house anytime and that America loves Muta.
