Welcome to the biggest CAGE in the world

[2.0] "GOOD: AJ Francis has grown up so much since his early days & plays a gnarly, unlikable heel very well. Trey vs. Mustafa is fire. BAD: Cody Deaner loses to the least charismatic wrestler I've ever seen in my life in a complete waste of my time. For the Iiconics to be relevant in 2025 is a fucking crime, & for Tessa Blanchard to be wasted like this is even worse. Instead of letting Santana cook & be a badass in-ring, they give him a useless 10-second squash; & it's not like it matters, either, because I am completely mentally tuned out of this boring, never-ending "chase". More contrived, awful Rascalz stoner comedy crap; I would give anything for Trey to be a nasty heel that I can take seriously again. There is no excuse for a barely-over-5-foot 27 year old woman with the body composition of a 15 year old ballerina (FFS, put on some fucking muscle! ) to be given a title shot over a massively-improved, super-buffed-out Dani Luna; interference is run by Indi Hartwell, foreshadowing that more TV time will be wasted on her. Jake Something is left off of TV again, & with a contract that is closing soon, continues to be issued losses if not ignored outright like he is here. Maclin's reign seems like a complete afterthought that they have no plans for, & they throw him instead into a main event which is a boring, sloggy clusterfuck with absolutely zero investment. Even Moose seems tuned out in this short System promo that truly encapsulates everything wrong with the faction's promos; unoriginal, devoid of meaningful evolution, poorly delivered, & more boring than filing taxes. Important players Nic Nemeth, Frankie Kazarian & Mance Warner are nowhere to be seen; IDGAF that Mance & Kaz are going to be on tomorrow, important players like this must always be on weekly TV, building stories & (doing things of importance). CONCLUSION: A flat, flat, flat boring episode wherein the good paddled around in a lightweight, holey boat, sailing a festering, unrelenting sea of bad. If Carlos wants to prioritize making AMC happy (given that AMC is not run by clueless idiot yes-men that wouldn't be able to understand what a good wrestling program was if it were to punch them in the throat), he MUST fire Delirious & start pumping out better fucking creative than this."

[7.0] "I love both guys, I think this is a good match that doesn't live up to the hype, unfortunately. Very rare that dream matches do, especially in this company, at this stage. I can think of only one comp and that's Hogan/Rock. Difference there is the crowd wanted Face Hogan, the atmosphere was insane and Hogan for his many flaws, he knew what his deal was and could easily adapt to the setting, he also wasn't inactive in the ring for 7 years. Rock at this point was like 40 having taken very few bumps in the last decade and it showed. I feel like if this match was only 15 minutes, they could have had something pretty exciting but they went for epic... besides a few neat spots, I don't think it hit the mark.. At the time it was interesting Rock won.. I didn't realize at the time they were going to run it back and I don't think that was decided until just before this match."
