[9.0] "That actually was a great episode. The opening match was not only fun but actually good (***1/4), the promos (besides the Miracle storyline) were tight and the Final Deletion was amazing."

"I didnt watch this episode of TNA but I did see the Final Deletion and it was great. I love the storyline for the rivalry."

[4.0] "The X-Division match was pretty good. Fun spots, especially Mandrew’s moonsault. I enjoyed Bennett failing at trying to fight in a X-Division match. I especially enjoyed him trying to use a ladder but Eddie stopping him with actual X-Division skills. ***1/4. Drake vs Storm was boring and ended by DQ. It had lost all steam by the end and I feel cheated for watching it. *3/4. Jade vs Marti was bad and infuriating. Their delivery and selling was poor once again, and they didn’t really act like this was a true hardcore match where they were desperately trying to inflict pain on the other. *3/4. Corgen/Dixie/Miracle segment was pretty good. Miracle are still fun heels and Corgen and Carter were alright. Really enjoyed the Lashley/Eddie segment. It's a cool idea to do a dual title match but leaving ambiguity for Option C still. The Decay vs the BroMans was pretty boring. The Decay are still growing on me, but I felt that there should have been some division shown between Rosemary and Crazy Steve/Abyss, since she sort of betrayed them for Bram. **. Jeff vs Matt was very weird. It was trying to be ‘so bad its good’ but really was more ‘so bad its a bit entertaining, but mediocre'. The directing style was distracting and the wrestling itself was unspectacular apart from a few unique spots. This wasn’t 'seriously' nor 'ironically' good, but did keep my attention at least. **3/4. Episode standouts were the X-Division match and the Lashley/Eddie and Miracle segments. Poor episode."

[10.0] "Opening X Division was great, some crazy spots and brutal moments, plus the overarching story of Bennett being unable to adapt to the style when really put to the test was very well done. KOTM wasn't much, Drake is a great character but a limited wrestler and Storm should probably retire, but at least they got the crowd fired up a bit. KO match was decent, I don't care for Marti that much but Jade shows tremendous promise for the division. Mixed tag was solid, everyone involved did well except maybe Abyss who doesn't have much left in the tank at this point. Lashley/Edwads segment was well done, Lashley is showing more mic skill this year than in his whole career before now. The Maria storyline is a bit mixed, I'm not sure where it's going. But the reason I give a 10 is for one simple reason, the Final Deletion. Yes, it's silly in some way, but one of the best things about wrestling is the ability to be both silly and totally engrossing. The Hardys have gone far from the traditional formats but they are nailing it for my money, the best year for the Hardys in ages and ages. So many great moments from that, honestly it will live in wrestling history one way or the other. As an experiment I think it was a total success, even if I'm not sure it could ever be replicated."

[8.0] "The X-Division stuff is cool and it feels like it's going somewhere just in time for Destination X. The little stories that precipitated the minor matches were okay but don't seem to hold much weight. We got a little progression in the EC3/Galloway thing. The main attraction for the night was the Hardy Saga. This story interweaved throughout the night culminating into The Final Deletion. This was a comedic masterpiece and felt very gratifying. It was a fun night night even if it doesn't register well on other people's scale of quality. At the end of the day if it makes you have a good time watching it, then it's done its job."

[7.0] "A solid show, overall. The huge Ultimate X match was a clusterfuck, but a fun one, with a crazy moonsault from Andrews and some good storytelling in-between the spots, leading to Eddie Edwards reclaiming the title. The KOTM Title Match was just sort of there; Storm doesn't need to go full-out these days, especially not in a match like this, and Eli Drake (despite being one hell of a character and mic worker) is very poor in the ring. The Street Fight between Jade & Marti as well as the Decay/Bromans 6-Person Tag were both pretty underwhelming in-ring, but also fine in terms of continuing their stories. The highlights of the more grounded parts of the show, however, were the promos leading up to the two top matches at Destination X: Lashley vs Edwards and EC3 vs Galloway. Lashley and Edwards had a surprisingly very good promo that built up a huge match from nothing, and the brewing tension between Ethan and Drew really came out during their interview which got me excited to see them go at it. The only parts of this show that were particularly bad were the Bennett talking segments. Of course the main attraction here was the vignettes and match itself of The Final Deletion, which was... beyond words really. It was fantastically stupid and incredibly inane, and I loved how awful it was. There's never been anything like it, and you can tell it wasn't meant to be high art, but something that skirts the line of parody. Good show and a main event that people will talk about for years."

[8.0] "An all around enjoyable show that built up to Destination X well. The story line with The Miracle is shaping up to be interesting after the Ultimate X match, and it did help make an intriguing main event. But let's cut to the chase; The Final Deletion was a car wreck in all the right ways. It was so cheesy, but so glorious at the same time, you just couldn't turn away. It was great and gave us something different, and TNA some exposure so it was a success."

[6.0] "This episode of Impact Wrestling wasn't bad, but nothing particularly blew me away. The "Final Deletion" was so bad that it was good... Pretty much all I have to say, nothing really worth going out of your way to see other than that."

[10.0] "I assume that whoever gave it a 0 for this show certainly takes wrestling so seriously that hates New Day to wiggle in ring and see Xavier and Kofi hit Big E a**, find one disrespect to wrestling the gimmick of Dalton Castle. Undoubtedly called the NJPW of the biggest trash in the world when book Karl Anderson fall in love to Maria, but is in TNA and then necessarily have to be negative. No matter who speak, I never had so much fun and gave so much laughter in a wrestling show at least 6 years. TNA deserves to be recognized for this main event mixing Wrestling + movies purposely trash. X- Division match good, KOTM good , Street Fight was bad and good chemistry between Lashley and Edwards. The day wrestling stop bring me entertainment, I will stop to watch wrestling, but that day will not be today because Deletion Final."

[10.0] "The Final Deletion was an absolute work of brilliance perhaps the likes of which we'll never see in professional wrestling again. If avant-garde becomes a thing in the future, I'd be all for it. Add in an alright Ultimate X match and this is an okay show."

[7.0] "Fun show. Ultimate X especially was pretty good, sold Bennett's character well, while giving Edwards his World title opportunity - plus it gave Trevor Lee and Mandrews a chance to shine too. But really, the main reason people tuned in was for The Final Deletion. It was ridiculous, it was perhaps contrived but it was certainly engaging and got people talking. Set up for Drew Galloway vs EC3 should be what people are talking about... but TNA will likely take what they can get. Good effort. Excited for Destination X."

"I only watched the main event. And I really cant decide if I think it was good or bad. At first I wasnt too sure about the multiple camera angles and the intense music, but it grew on me. The match was something different, so hats off to the Hardys and TNA for trying something different."

[7.0] "Only basing this on THE FINAL DELETION - congrats to TNA/Impact Wrestling for going with an idea out of the norm. It was completely silly and ludicrous at times, but WWE doesn't even dare try it, and you have to credit TNA for putting this together to get attention back on them. If it's their last act, it was a fun and ambitious one. Plus who could hate a match featuring fireworks and a dilapidated boat?"
