Reviews/Thoughts:
Sting has become a damn mega nuthead. RVD/Steiner was an OK match with a lame finish. Angelina and Winter cut a pretty good promo.

More Knockouts brawling between Tara/Tessmacher and Sarita/Rosita. Kayfabe reason for Sarita's face guard was a broken jaw and orbital bone sustained in a fight last week. Real reason...facial paralysis of some kind. Sarita looks like the female version of Abyss, and the cameras make sure to not get too many closeups of Sarita's face. Good aggression from Sarita. Tag match wasn't too bad, actually.

4-way ladder match in BFG series...winner gets 10 points. Pretty good match with a bunch of action. Morgan gets 10 points. Wish it went longer, though.

Eric Young...and D'Lo Brown! What a bizarre piece of crap this was.

OK X-Division match. A few unique moves there. Aries interferes for some reason, and that confused the heck outta me.

I think Mexican America is annoying as heck on the mic. Oh finally we get to see Sarita's face guard better. Thankfully Beer Money saved the day on the promo.

Knockouts match never happened. ODB and Jackie again? Really? WTF, Traci Brooks is there? Now I'm real confused. At least I'm jealous of all the refs that get to break up this fight. Woohoo, don't think I've ever seen women taken off in handcuffs before on a wrestling program.

Main event time. Basic stuff. Whoa, and an Angle Slam won this? How far has Mr. Anderson fallen? He went from world champ to basically a jobber in a couple weeks.
