Quotes from my watch group:
"Reset the clock, it has been ZERO DAYS since Tony Khan held a tournament."
"[Heel Ricochet] dresses like I would want to dress if I was in my 20s, and also if I were a piece of shit."

This tag match is fun, four guys who are normally part of other tag teams all getting their grievances heard in a single match. Hologram continues to innovate new ways to commit airborne murder and probably blow out his knee. Also for some reason "Harley-gram" dons a mask again to follow Hologram out to the ring. I don't know where this is going, but if Harley commits to this bit the way she committed to the Mercedes feud she'll probably never admit who's under the mask.

It's Speedball! The mystery opponent is Speedball Mike Bailey! I haven't seen this hockey-haired barefoot-karate Canadian since GCW came to NY last year -- too much real life stuff for me to catch many indie shows.

I was worried that he'd be a five-minute appetizer, but instead he put on a showcase of what makes him great. I asked out loud "Why hasn't Tony Khan signed him yet?" and then five minutes later...

Takeshita showing up to answer Max Caster's challenge must be a personal rock bottom for him. Instead of getting drunk or binging on carbs he saw the opportunity and was like "Hey, a win is a win, right?" Meanwhile Castor really seems to have hit a personal rock bottom, wondering if joining the Don Callis Family would mean he'd "finally get that recording contract" -- shades of Ol' Gil over here.
