Now I don't normally throw out star ratings for matches that go under 10 goddamn seconds or have only 1 goddamn move in them, but this was so perfectly executed. Trent Seven is by far the biggest, the most arrogant dick of the British Strong Style trio - he is a wonderful heel. Before the bell rang he cut a perfect, dick promo towards Riddle, PROGRESS & the fans. Then the bell rings and he eats a knee from Riddle & that's it. It's over. If this hadn't been built up to so wonderfully w/ the way Trent has been acting since the WWE UK Tournament, him attacking Riddle at Chapter 48 & then finally the perfect heel promo he cut before the match - it definitely wouldn't have been so amazing. Those elements made it perfect. And of course Riddle w/ that killer knee - the knee could've looked like shit & the match wouldn't have worked so well, but the knee looked sick too. Both parties played their roles to perfection as well as the crowd. Beautiful stuff. Legitimately one of my favorite matches of 2017. ****1/2

I can't really rate it because star ratings - at least for me - are a type of measure matches and his didn't have much in terms of that type of measurement; however, stars are not and should not be the end all of evaluating wrestling. I thought this and Starr/Sabre were the clear highlights of night one. Seven's promo and sell job were absolute big time. That dude gets it from a character and moment standpoint. I am so-so on him as a wrestler, but this was stand out stuff.
