This was the best I've seen Finlay wrestle. Very nicely done all round.

That owned so much. High hopes for this one but it reminds me we were robbed of a Shingo/EVIL tag team after that incredible match at NYD last year

I'm not sure that they'd go heel vs heel for the finals, and especially not if EVIL is gonna cheat his way into the finals, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

That means you've most likely used up your wrong prediction quota, so Shingo is almost sure to win.
