Ric Flair's Last Match gave fans a look back at the career of Ric Flair retiring for the second time, plus we got a fabulous undercard of great matchup. KOP runs it down.

Loved the look of the arena, the production, the graphics, Bob Caudle on the narration.
A Great mix of nostalgia and a showcase of the New Wrestling Alliance
Enjoyed where David Crockett was just a fan watching these new stars.
Great rotation of guest announcers. Hannafin, Riccaboni, Dombrowski, D' Amore, Aldis
Impact offered world title matches.
AAA four way was the show stealer we expected.
Jacob Fatu got some attention tonight in front of a lot of promotions and MLW benefitted from the PPV exposure.

Pre-Show:
Ren Narita defeated Yuya Uemura
Mance Warner won by last eliminating Bully Ray in the Bunkhouse Battle Royale. Also in the match was Kal Herro, Big Damo, Crimson, Gringo Loco, Komander, Wolfie D, Sinn Bodhi, Effy, Matthew Justice, 1 Called Manders, Jordan Oliver, Rickey Shane Page, Blake Christian, Joey Janela, and James Storm.

Main Card
The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) beat The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) -Gave them some time, crowd still filing in but this match came out great.
Four Corners Match-Jonathan Gresham defeated Nick Wayne vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Alan Angels-Great showcase for Takeshita and Wayne. Winner would get a title shot for the Progress World title. Good to see where Gresham goes next after the fallout from ROH Death Before Dishonor.
Killer Kross beat. Davey Boy Smith Jr.-Good to see Kross and Smith apparently under the MLW Banner. While Smith is one half of the tag champs in NWA.
Rey Fenix defested Laredo Kid, Bandido and Taurus
Brian Pillman Jr. and Brock Anderson (with Arn Anderson) beat Ricky and Kerry Morton (with Robert Gibson)-Good to see Pillman as a heel. Ricky can still go.
IMPACT World Title: Josh Alexander (c) vs. Jacob Fatu went to a DQ-great exhibition that went DQ and I'm ok with that.
Cameos by Jerry Jarrett and a fun segment with Jeff Jarrett and Jerry The King Lawler
The Briscoes vs. The Von Erichs-Briscoes took this match and this was a good match to see here.
IMPACT Knockouts Championship: Jordynne Grace (c) beat Deonna Purrazzo and Rachael Ellering-Only women's match delivered. Ellering takes the submission. Grace retains.
Ric Flair & Andrade El Idolo beat. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal-so much heat for this match. Jarrett and Lethal lap up the heel heat. David Penzer makes the announcements and Mike Chioda is the referee. Standoff with Jarrett and Flair. Flair looked a bit nervous till he got in the ring. Lot of old school showboating and bravado before any lockup. Andrade and Lethal pick up the pace. Jarrett avoiding Flair when Ric is tagged in. All psychology. Jeff is old school heel walking away from the ring. Ric's chops were off a bit but he got them going pretty quickly. Fargo strut and the Flair strut displayed. Ric doesn't need to do another match. Send off was great. WWE sent him off too early and that made him come back twice. I liked this send off for a different reason.
