THE BRISCOE BROTHERS vs. THE BRAVADO BROTHERS- 4.5/10
AFTERMATH- the Guardians of Truth reveal themselves as the Headbangers, then challenge the Briscoes. This would have been good if 1) people cared about the Headbangers, and 2) if the Briscoes haven't beaten the crap out of them a few times before.
SOTF VIDEO PACKAGE- okay, but I am now concerned that SOTF won't get enough time. They are just starting the entrances and there is only half an hour left in the show.
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST MATCH- 7.25/10
Kevin Kelly says that the two people who started the match were chosen by a coin toss earlier today. How do you toss a coin once and use that to determine which two of six possible people will start a match?
Mondo is eliminated five minutes in. If this were anyone other than Mondo, I would be extremely pissed.
Roddy is gone in seven minutes? BOO! Adam Cole is gone a minute later. Elgin wasn't legal when he was pinned, but even if he was, he was pinned by two guys, so one of those guys wasn't legal! The spot with the whole locker room coming out just felt unbelievably corny.
This was the worst SOTF finals that I have ever seen. Usually there aren't any eliminations until at least the fifteen minute mark, and if there are any before then, it isn't more than one. At the fifteen minute mark in this match, we were down to just two men left. Most of these guys, the "fittest" guys on the roster, were eliminated within ten minutes. Quite simply, they didn't give this match anywhere near the time it deserved.
