Midsouth wrestling/nwa/occasional TNa watching me smiled on the inside at the idea that Sting can still be out there. I have failed to read up properly on how his injury went from ‘he’s gotta quit yawl’ to he’s out here doing most of what he was doing 5-10 years ago. But I’m glad he’s okay.

The main event triple threat seemed excellent to me. I think I ‘get’ Orange Cassidy without wanting every wrestler to do the same thing. And I get the impression that he can fucking go because he has delivered every time they’ve given him a spot. And of course Pac and Omega weren’t the type to underdeliver as wrestlers.

Omega is a curious figure and I have it in my head now that he’s missing something in terms of character/mannerisms. But I try not to spend too much time on it. I love that finisher of his. That’s for sure.
