Reviews/Thoughts:
Regal's in charge tonight! Yes!

Well, that was quick. Hawkins in action now, and Reks is banned from ringside. Nice of Regal to say that Tyson Kidd is some top competition for Hawkins. Really liked Kidd's work here. That kick from the ring apron is awesome. Crowd loved this match as well. Lots of big moves. Why the hell can't we see more of this stuff? Solid finish.

Titus gets no on-camera entrance. Regal's opponent for Titus...Yoshi Tatsu. Yoshi got no pop coming out. Ouch. Fairly simple match here. Hard kicks from Yoshi and indecipherable yelling. Match was about three minutes. Yes, I said three minutes.

Titus wants A-Ry. "Don't talk about it, be about it," says A-Ry. Um, OK. Aw, Titus has a valentine's date one day late.

Johnny Curtis intercepts a gift meant for Bateman. Duh, it's from Maxine. Johnny's one weird dude. Can I take a Goldust personality instead? Then at least bizarre would be entertaining.

Percy Watson facing Michael McGillicutty. Good energy from Percy, but the crowd is dead. Solid match, but come on, did the whole crowd pass out from excess booze? Wake up!

Maxine finds the chocolates. Guess Johnny appeared to put a new note on there to stir up trouble. Maxine's pissed.

Oh look, Kaitlyn's at ringside! Is she on commentary or just sitting there? Hopefully the latter, but nope, she's on the headset. Bateman has TWO opponents? Heath Slater (and his crummy music) and Johnny Curtis. Oh, now it makes sense. Justin Gabriel for a tag partner. Gabriel and Bateman fly in the early going, then it slows down. Bateman with the hot tag. Regal says this is an amazing match, but I beg to differ. Bateman with his finisher to win.

Welp, here comes Maxine. Dammit, you're wasting great chocolate! Johnny's all happy at his handiwork. I call this pathetic stuff.
