The biggest component of this match was Malak attacking Meseeks. Was it heat of the moment accident, or is there something going on in the locker room? It looked like Dark Matter could have pulled off the upset, but they could not compete with the onslaught of Civil War. Overall, there were some good spots, but honestly it was kind of a squash match.

It’s getting kind of boring seeing Joey in the Atom Weight picture every match, but kudos for him for winning a taxing triple threat match.

Each competitor showed they had the grit and determination to win in a one-on-one setting, but this free-for-all proved too much for Static and Ryu.

This wasn’t the best match on the card, but it was okay. Nothing much happened to really give it a higher score. The razzmatazz wasn’t there for me. It’ll be interesting to see how a fresh Android 18 does against Hawkgirl.
