Gresham has successfully defended his Powerbomb.TV Independent for the second time, yet again with a count out victory.
FINAL TAKE/RELEVANT REMARKS:
Pretty rad short card with a variety of matches. No huge names being on the show really allowed everyone on the card to shine. This was a good showcase of some up and coming singles and tag teams that will definitely be making more buzz as we head into 2018.
The show was well paced and kept the flow going. Each match was the proper length. I was really impressed by the ladies match, MJF's heel tactics, and Gage's new found intense but focused brawling style. Gresham as the chickensh** cheap win heel is money!
For a standalone show under their own banner, Powerbomb.TV should be commended for their efforts. I look forward to more of their unique cards, and moreover I am pleased to hear their deal with Beyond Wrestling as their new home for streaming and VOD is a GO!
