[7.0] "This is a pretty good show with good matches like the 4 way, the ladder match, and the main event. Kaos (the former XPW TV champion) made his debut to attack Messiah to set up a Messiah vs Kaos match at the next show. Everything else on the show was either alright or a czw academy showcase match."

[7.0] "BLKOUT/H8 felt like a big match, and while the action was decidedly average, their length gave it the feel of a war of attrition, big stakes at play and true suspense over the winner. The conclusion was rather cheap, but it serves to transitions into the main feud for the rest of the year. The Trios match had good energy to start, but a severe lack in charisma and talent to be sustained to its end. Hero/Dragon was surprisingly strong, shedding off all shenanigans in favor of a smashmouth style that felt magnetically impactful and the most solid performance of both guys yet. The Canadian 4-Way Match was an incredible spotfest that never stopped in instantly created durable stars on the indy circuit, a sensational debut that possibly wasn't ever topped anywhere in wrestling. Kingston/B-Boy never fully clicked for me by focusing on B-Boy's overpush and sacrificing a lot of BLKOUT for it, but both guys had a chance to use their offense to look very good in moments, and the finish has the merit of being both very original and very brutal. Quance/M-Dogg was a good show of dominance by M-Dogg 20 to further legitimize his run as a challenger to the CZW Junior Heavyweight Championship. The Ladder Match was far from impressive, just a collection of random highspots in a match that make no sense story-wise, but ultimately it's an harmless entertaining distraction. Wifebeater/Necro was a gratuitous brawl that had no vibe to it. Justice/Messiah was a very decent main event, even without the momentum of their previous encounters and feeling like a big match. This show has a lot of good wrestling, with many wrestlers overachieving in their match, but the main event scene was much weaker and degrades the show quality a bit. This is a very good event, but has a disappointing lack of finition."
