Match Thoughts: This was Great Muta's first "real" match, meaning one that lasted more then five minutes and wasn't a squash. The nerve hold is arguably my least favorite submission hold regardless who is doing it, but at least it was only for a minute or so until they went into the home stretch. Loved the Space Rolling Elbow against the guard rail, don't see that too often, and this is the earliest match I have reviewed thus far that Muta gave the mist to someone which is always entertaining. The commentators did a great job putting over Muta as "the man" and overall it was fun although far from perfect. Score: 5.5
