Ups...

4. At Least This Was Different

Onto the good.

Mark Henry's pre-match promo segments are usually boring as hell, but Orange Cassidy trying to muscle in and host one this week did get some giggles. At least All Elite tried to shake up the tired formula a little here. They should be commended for that.

Orange being there made sense because he was involved in the main event Triple Threat anyway. It would've been strange to see him sit on the sidelines as Rush and Preston '10' Vance did some yakking - Cassidy's All-Atlantic Title was on the line, after all.

It'd be great if this was the last hurrah for those Henry promos though. They're lifeless these days, and only serve to give him something/anything to do on camera. Sub him out for Renee Paquette ASAP, please. That'd be a major upgrade.
