He enjoyed calling the bout as both youngsters delivered and understood the responsibility of closing the show on a high note. He also rated the whole show as a must-see event.
"But I can tell you this was all on me and we had a hell of a show. That [Sammy] Guevara MJF match was outstanding, one of the better matches I’ve called in years and years but the whole show was strong. The close of the show, those two young kids, both in their mid 20s, knew the responsibility of closing the show and how important it was. For everybody surrounding them, for our fans to deliver. I had the sense that leading into that last match, I thought that we had a really strong show leading up to that main event. People were expecting greatness and I think that’s what those two guys delivered," said Jim Ross. (H/T- WrestlingInc)
