I think the other issue with Clockwork Carnage happening at this PPV is that its pretty obvious Ospreay wouldn't be losing the title this early, so that hurt the jeopardy of the match. Even subconsciously, I dont think anyone actually believed Ospreay would lose so it hurt the match a lot.
At another time, deep into a title reign or whatever then yeah, it works as a main event, but not here.
Good show mind, stayed entertaining throughout with the TBS title match being the only "dull" point. Loved the Bucks/Fletcher and Knight match, looks like Fletcher and Knight will split now which is the right way to go.
Moxley was as great as ever. Also really hope MJF returns soon as I feel hes been missed , it'll be nice to have some 1 on 1 matches at a PPV where there isn't a title on the line also, appreciate with so many titles that's difficult, but only one match on this show not being for a belt is crazy.
Also, a small thing that I noticed last night, they should let entrances breathe a little.bit before hitting the opponents music, literally as soon as one entrance music stops, the other starts, like no break inbetween. I mention it because Thekla's entrance was fantastic, made her look big as fuck...yet the second her music stopped Mones hit, not saying dwell too much but leave a bit of a gap for crowed reaction as Thekla would've got that big time.
Good show though all in all, hoping for a good Full Gear card and really interested in who will main event as Ospreays next big challenger, MJF return on Dynamite hopefully.
