Jeff said that his family was here to tonight. He said his family has been in the wrestling business for 70 years and fans have put groceries on their table for three generations.

Good match. They told a good story and there was some solid back and forth action here.
A number of officials from all the companies represented as well as the Jarrett family and Scott D'Amore came out on the stage to applaud the win. They came to the ring as Patron celebrated in the ring.
Overall, a pretty good show. Lots of strong wrestling on the undercard especially. This was the freshest Impact/GFW has felt since Anthem purchased the company to be honest and there was a nice mix of all sorts of wrestling, from comedic to hard hitting to violence to lucha tonight. It was a fun few hours.
