Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Okada earns 0)

The fans are thunderous, Knight is shocked, and Callis is in disbelief! Speedball hurries out here to celebrate Knight’s biggest win PERIOD! And now the Gold League is a FIVE MAN TIE at six points!! And there’s no rest for anyone as the Dynamite on 34th Street AND Christmas Collision are right around the corner! Who will have the greatest gift of all: a spot in the C2 semifinals?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, though that might be from it being an hour of all action. No promos, and even with Eddie VS Nathan as borderline filler, that was good stuff to see Eddie overcome 3v1 odds. Mone VS Windsor was great stuff, but with this all prerecorded, the finish was spoiled because of other websites and their lack of etiquette on social media. Windsor winning is still a great move, so happy for her, and this helps in the “Downfall of Mone” story I’ve been talking about. Now, not sure if this leans into Mone & Athena taking the women’s tag titles, though I’m hoping not, there’s a lot more “downfall” to be done first.

And awesome stuff with the Continental Classic, I wasn’t expecting either outcome from tonight. Though, perhaps Jack Perry winning was more likely as it’d be a shame if he went 0-3 going into the second half of this tournament. Well, not even really “second half,” we’ve got one last week, and they’re cramming the Christmas episodes with C2. But Knight beating Okada is definitely the TOP shocker of this tournament, maybe even for the year. Five of the six at 6 points in Gold League is wild stuff, can’t wait to see how this shakes out.

My Score: 8.9/10
