We go to credits.

While I normally do not do thoughts in the body of the report any more, I wanted to add something about the excellent job that Byron Saxton and Wade Barrett did during the Kaval/Brian Danielson match. They did a lot to make build the reputations of both wrestlers, especially Danielson. I have been impressed with Saxton’s work on ECW, but I think this was some of his best stuff. They both let the action tell the story and they filled in with information about Danielson and Kaval and their past matches without overpowering the action.

The Danielson/Kaval match is definitely a match that you should try to get because it was of the same quality that you can see on the main brands and could teach some of the people on Raw, Smackdown, ECW, and in TNA about wrestling.
