Well its almost a week late but here it comes, currently my internet connection is down due to a local network outage so I figured if I couldn't go online I'd use the time productively to review this. Connection came back after at least 4 hours gone so at least I can post this now.
Jimmy Jacobs vs Necro Butcher - This one started with Jacobs jumping Necro as the ref took a staplegun off Necro & Jacobs was on top for a while from there, I'm not exactly sure what the colour desk thought the fans were chanting when they said they didn't dare repeat it ("Bonk Bonk Necro, Bonk Bonk" that "Bonk Bonk" chant is one of the very old fan chants from early ECW when it became Extreme so god alone knows what colour thought they were hearing) and it displays their lack of knowledge about wrestling history or other promotions, clearly all the historical facts they cite are written down for them.
Necro took the match to the floor using the bell & choking Jacobs out, Jacobs came back with the worlds scrappiest suplex on Necro (who either didn't trust Jacobs to sell it or didn't go with it at all as Jacobs clearly struggled to take Necro over convincingly) who clearly hit the back of his head and Jacobs did a dive over the top rope out of the ring onto Necro who was sitting on a chair with Jacobs selling that he'd hurt his hip. Necro countered a Spear by punching Jacobs then hit the Tiger Driver, he went out to get the staplegun which caused a run-in by Brody Lee and the ref threw this one out as a DQ (he DQ'd Jacobs for outside interference) giving the win to Necro Butcher.

Sami Callahan vs Eddie Kingston - More a brawl than anything else, Kingston took the win off a Backdrop Driver into a Spinning Backfist and made the roll-up.
Bobby Dempsey vs Orange Cassidy - Cassidy got no intro at all, I wouldn't have even known his name if the colour guys hadn't said it, sadly this one was over in less than a minute after Dempsey hit the Bodyblock then the Death Valley Driver to take a very fast win here.
Cheech & Cloudy vs Rhett Titus & Kenny King - Cheech pretty much owned the 1st half of this then the heels took over when Cloudy came in. I say heels but they weren't drawing any heat and weren't selling very well either, Cloudy sold a fairly decent clothesline off King but f**ked up landing the Super Hurricanrana off Cheech's shoulders onto King who still sold it even though it barely made contact. Titus made the pin on Cheech off a Blockbuster but Cloudy certainly took a bad fall off the top turnbuckle into the guard rail.
Claudio Castagnoli vs Brent Albright. Well their having yet another longish main event (with around 14 minutes of tv air time left to fill) and Castagnoli jumped Albright before he ever got in the ring but Albright got the upper hand pretty quickly and gave Castagnoli a quick tour of the ring introducing his head to several sides of the apron. Albright hit a nice Backbreaker before he finally got a chance to take his robe off but Castagnoli came back with a series of European Uppercuts, Castagnoli was sent outside the ring but caught Albright in his attempt at a cross bodyblock and rammed Albright into the guardrail covers back first.
After Albright came back into the ring Castagnoli hit a weardown move (far too late into the match and slowing the action down exactly when they should have really been winding up to a finish), Albright sold a stiff looking clothesline and Castagnoli toyed with Albright for about 5 minutes not doing much but enough to stay on top. Albright hit a good belly to belly suplex outside the ring but Castagnoli took him right back into the ring with a side headlock slowing the action down again at the wrong time, Albright mounted a fairly decent comeback and we had a couple of c**p attempts at finishers from both men but Castagnoli took the win off a Victory Roll and a big assist from a handfull of the bottom rope.
Again this week it wasn't a great main event and 2 matches left a lot to be desired with Kingstons boring slugfest and Dempseys sub 60 second win that helped neither guy get over as we didn't really get to see any kind of offence from either man.
