----------------------------------------------------

1)Morgan Vs Jahbuhlun (Last Man Standing, * * * 1/4) - What a thrilling way to kick off the final Prime Time of 2007. Both men put forward a sterling effort, which was only spoiled by the relative brevity of the match and the, anticipated, extra-curricular activity from Abyss and The Anderson family. And as you would expect, those run-in's directly influenced the finish, although the Anderson Family's intentions backfired as an errant chair shot from Acid knocked Morgan cold, enabling Jahbuhlun to get the win.
2)Lil' Louis V Hornswoggle (DUD) - From the sublime to the ridiculous. Only those completely bereft of a sense of humour wouldn't have laughed at some of this, but it was still an awful spectacle. Lil' Louis won after his own version of the Jazz Hands Knee.
3)Laree Vs Valentine (* * 3/4) - The two managed to pick the crowd up after the previous debacle and had quite the little tussle. Matt Sydal attempted to get his woman the victory, but Brian Kendrick evened up the odds enabling Laree to get the pinfall victory that retained her title.
4)Kous Vs Harry Smith (*) - Thanks to the terrible injury that Tarquin Kous suffered in the last Prime Time it looked as if Quentin Kous wouldn't have much of a future in the IWF. But seemingly he does as he got the victory here as a result of the interference of the previously unheard of third Kous, Eustace.
5)Mercy, Punk & Gee Vs HHH, Orton & Finlay (* * * 3/4) - Well at least the event was bookended by two superb encounters. This was a full-on battle which had the crowd at fever pitch throughout. And as it's December, and Christmas is a-coming, we got the happy ending as Punk pinned Finlay to wrap it all up.
