I've always been a fan of how Impact Wrestling builds characters, making us care about them during the course of a pro wrestling match. You could always throw skilled wrestlers in there, but the crowd won't necessarily care about them unless they know who they are. I felt like this was the case during the opening match.
There was a Rascal, there was a Deaner and there was Rohit Raju from the Desi Hit Squad. Because the show was in Canada, Petey Williams made his trademark appearance clad in the Canadian flag, of course.
