Winner: Bryan Danielson (6)
Rating: ****1/4. Man, these two are so similar, but they’re near magic together. Awesome, hard-hitting main event that just proves Daniel Garcia is a wrestler. Danielson continues his run of amazing matches.
Final Thoughts: A Rampage that felt important… count me in. The main event delivered as you would have expected it to, and the rest of the show was average… which is fine. I don’t ask for a lot from Rampage considering it’s a taped B-show at best, but I’ll take this every week. 8/10.Â
