5 Star Wrestling - 10 Interesting Observations From Newcastle

2. The Show Opened With A Contract Signing (For The Next Show!)

A slight negative here: the show opened with a contract signing between Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles - for a show the following night in Sheffield! Teasing a match between the two biggest stars on the card, only to reveal that it won't be taking place in front of that particular live crowd seems...ill-advised, to say the least. In fact, the very idea of opening a show with a contract signing can also be called into question. Fans would have been eager to see some action straight off the bat, rather than watch a non-wrestling segment which - truth be told - dragged quite a lot. In fairness to both AJ and Rey, they involved themselves heavily in the rest of the show, interfering in one another's matches and generally letting their presence be felt.
