I dont know what there is left to say about the interference crap- theres seemingly no true major league promotion on earth that is interested in not having interference featured somewhere on the card, so I just count my lucky stars that there were no run-ins to speak of in the top three matches (which, not coincidentally, were all excellent) and resign myself to having to put up with it on the undercard.
