Rating: ***1/4. Darby took a ton of unnecessary damage her, as he usually does, and Komander had another good showing in a loss. The smaller crowd here seems rabid for AEW, so that’s a good sign.

Winner: Mark Briscoe (3)
Rating: ****1/4. When you give two wrestlers time to wrestle, great things happen. Briscoe got the win but man Garcia made him work for it. The story of two friends who knew they needed to win and kept pushing the envelope worked very well.
Final Thoughts: Continental Classic season delivers, period. You put a bunch of good wrestlers in a position to have good wrestling matches and you’ve got one happy dude who does reviews for WrestlingHeadlines.com. Kyle Fletcher is going to come out a bigger superstar than he went in, if that’s possible, at only 25 years old. Moxley and company try to murder people, FTR interjects themselves, and we see some other small storyline advancements but really, these shows are about wrestling. If you’re about the wrestling… you’ll be pretty happy. 8.0/10.
