Match Thoughts: Well that match felt like it took an eternity. I won't judge Brown too much as even though he looked pretty bad in this match, there were several miscommunications and it might have just been a lack of familiarity with each other. I think that is what led this to be a really boring match, as they pretty much just worked holds and ignored the fact that the crowd was booing them unmercifully throughout the match. Mutoh showed moments of goodness and the crowd did stop booing when they saw the moonsault, but the ending was a bit lame. Since Mutoh was still new to the territory, I don't see why he couldn't have lost even by an inside cradle or something, the DQ just seemed to be done for the sake of it instead of for any real purpose. Really rough. Score: 3.5
