MY THOUGHTS

Grand Slam Australia for all the criticisms absolutely blew it out of the park. It delivered a set of PPV quality matches for the fans in attendance and everyone who watched it. We got to witness history in the making with the tag teams of Omega / Ospreay and White / Cope. The crowd was into the show right from the get. While it is a common trope for the hometown wrestlers to win all their matches in their hometown, Tony Khan went with his gut on this one and continued the story for a lot of the feuds coming out of GSA and into Revolution in March. Also keep an eye out for my upcoming article for Grand Slam Australia about my experience in attending the show.
