Winner: Konosuke Takeshita
Rating: ***1/2. This ruled, and it could have gone a heck of a lot longer. Takeshita is poised to take a huge leap and be that next big star, and this is the beginning of the post-G1 run. Match was a blast as everyone looked great. Also, this is the best Lio Rush we’ve ever seen.
Final Thoughts: Fun episode of Rampage tonight, as they built towards a main event that felt important, and that’s a nice change of pace. The video packages on all the guys throughout the show was a nice touch. Undisputed Kingdom vs. FTR tomorrow night… but they just tapped out to Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal? That part doesn’t make sense. The show was a lot of fun tonight and the main event ruled, so you’ll get no complaints from me. 8/10.
