Overall Thoughts on USA vs. The World
The event may not please some wrestling fans, especially with the price of $14.99. The performances during the PPV could also be the result of many of the competitors having multiple matches within the last three days.
The matches that stood out were Bailey vs. Richards and Oku vs. Swann for the British Cruiserweight Championship. Ellering and Troy also had a solid match. However, fans may think the rest of the card was lackluster.
The USA vs. The World concept was interesting, although you could predict the outcome by the final match. If fans haven’t already, this card may not encourage them to buy the event.
