Really?” Ravio says he has no idea where those came from, but that’s hard to believe when they’re purple. Wizzro takes those away as he leaves and Ravio’s plan has been ruined.

Winner: Hollywood ReDead, by pinfall (advances to the Bracket of Courage finals)

This has to be the uWo’s doing! They can’t be ringside, so they screw Gibdo over from backstage! But they make sure the Dark Forces only has two members into the finals. Will the uWo prove even more devious than Ravio? Or will #Murusagi be able to survive the horrors of the underworld?

My Thoughts:

Woo, a real wild event here. But outside of Rosso, I surprised myself that all Heels went over. Or at least Tweeners, depending on how characters like Ravio or Kage would be received by a real crowd. But I do like the rivalry of Dark Froces and UnderWorld Order escalating through the tournament. And kudos to anyone who recognizes the match references made in some of the matches. I feel like it’s going to be hard for me to follow these up in the bracket finals in March.
