All the matches were enjoyable to watch. No ROH-style mat wrestling, but this is clearly the work of students and guys working towards the WWE. The only person who really looked out of place is a woman named Victoria (not the WWE one), who was the single most gentle wrestler I've ever seen.
Standouts (people that wrestled well and could work the crowd) include Fearless Jack Bull, Beth Pheonix, Idol Stevens (surprised me, too), Chet the Jet, Boris Alexiev. "Disco Stu" was entertaining, but his match lasted all of three moves.
I saw a guy sitting next to Al Snow in the back of the gym with short hair and massive muttonchops. I bet my father-in-law that it was Amish Roadkill, so I asked him after the show, and I was right. I win several beers, so yay me.
I've read a little bit about WWE wanting to bring Dan Rodimer up to Raw any day now, and I did a double take when I saw him and realized that he was the long blonde haired hick from Tough Enough. He looks like Randy Orton now, IMO, and he has what it takes to be in the WWE. That means, of course, that he may not be an amazing wrestler, but he's capable, has a great look (you won't recognize him), and comes across well as a guy to hate.
Paul Birchall would be a top guy in the WWE if Chris Benoit retired. He's technically amazing, very very intense, but he's not the kind of guy you want doing interviews all the time. I hope that he gets to go back up to the WWE soon.
Lots of comedy wrestling: the six man tag, Jack Bull, the male tag match.
Can't be beat for $5. From the looks of things, they'll be doing this every 4 weeks or so in the same building, which is a three minute drive from my house. The next show is February 10; I hope they can make up my only disappointment of the night, not being able to see Deuce and Domino wrestle.
