Scorpio chases Benoit away with a chair. Cactus, JT Smith and Bad Breed celebrate in the ring with Scorpio. Cactus gets on the mic and lets the fans know that Sabu is injured and to please keep him in their thoughts.
My thoughts on the show…
This is a tough one to call I mean the camera angle was bad so it was hard to see at times. The action that we did get was pretty good. I would say let’s wait until we see what shows up on TV before you watch this. The Benoit/Sabu match is on Extreme Warfare Volume 1 which I have already reviewed. It cuts out everything after Sabu breaking his neck though.
