As if it wasn't enough to have Kurt Angle on the debut edition, the crowd in Evansville went insane as “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan was introduced as Kingston's opponent tonight.

Another HWL Superstar was in action tonight, as “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal stepped into the ring against Homicide, rekindling their many battles from their TNA days. Lethal locked on the figure-four in the center of the ring, and Homicide – after struggling to get to the ropes – appeared to lose consciousness, and with this shoulders on the canvas, was defeated by pinfall.

Rating: **
This was a match-up of two evenly sized athletes, and both of them showcased their skills for the Evansville crowd tonight. Yet, it was Bryan who saw an opportunity as Cole attempted a Northern Lights suplex, to roll him up for the 1-2-3.
