What'd y'all think? I fucked with Moxley vs. Janela, the six-man tag had some cool spots, and a vicious unprotected chairshot on Cody. Boi got balls of steel.

Honestly didn't think Cody v Darby would've been a 20min draw

Darby puts his body on the line like a mad man...esp that no look back drop onto the side apron

Wasn't expecting the best friends to be the ones getting the first round bye

Liked the six man tag and omega/bucks coming out as street fighter characters

Also thought it was funny that Penta got scared by the pyro

For a show that was essentially given away for free, I thought it was terrific. The pre show was kinda meh but the event picked up steam pretty soon.

The segment with MJF was probably one of my favorite heel promos this year.

Will we ever get The Besties In The World ( Davey Vega and Mat Fitchett ) v The Best Friends?

 

[Jamie O'Hara]

Thought they did a good job at giving time to their lesser known talent. Guys like Darby, Private Party, Janela, all looked tremendous in their matches. Despite that, some matches went a bit longer than they should have and Cody vs Allin really sucked the air out of the arena.

Not a fan of the unprotected chair shot to the head. Not with everything we know about head trauma. Lucky to not have a concussion.

Yah the report was he got 12 stables, got the A-OK from the docs that there was no concussion and there was a twitter pic of him back in gorilla position with a blood stained head as he didnt take a shower

But I agree I like the fact that the lesser names are getting the spotlight and the good thing is those talents are actually so to speak taking the ball and running with it

I thought the three way tag team match was the highlight of the Buy In. I thought it displayed Private Party well to the point where I was rooting for them to win. I was surprised to see Best Friends nab the victory. Not too crazy about The Librarian shtick. Maybe, it could be good heat magnet, but it just came off as cringe to me. The Hardcore match was probably the biggest "wtf moment" of the night. At least, it was part of the pre-show, but that match was just bad. It wasn't funny and was just left cringing the entire time.

For a free show, I thought it was pretty good. I loved the six man tag. I wasn't expecting for Darby/Cody to end in a draw. I'm in love with Darby's character. But, I wasn't too crazy about this match. Also, not too crazy about the unprotected steel chair shot and I'm having a difficult time wondering how that was enough to make Cody bleed from the back of the head when the chair was hit from the side of his head. Cody may have been lucky with no concussion, but I don’t wanna see that happen anytime soon. MJF's promo before his match was the most hilarious thing and I can tell the guy is going to be a star.

I loved Moxley/Janela. When Janela got the thumbtacks on his feet, I felt that. Nuff said.
