[8.0] "This felt like an old-school main event where the homecoming hero pulled off a miracle to face the monstrous champion. EY is one of the immediate names that would pop up in TNA's long-term fanatics, and I'm glad he had this chance to fight for the title in his hometown. The structure was very good and tough to follow for sprint lovers, but I enjoyed both men's work, especially EY's. The interferences by The System and Frankie Kazarian were meaningful, protecting EY from a clean loss on his home turf. 4 out of 5 stars!"

[] "A very good match with some fantastic spots and great heel work by the Young Bucks, as usual, but yeah... I don't see why this got 5 stars from Meltzer."

[6.0] "From a thoroughly uninteresting opener to a pretty good undercard multi-man bout. Sugiura, Ogawa and Marvin were on excellent form as you would expect, and while neither Inuoe or Saito are great workers, they fit in well to make an entertaining matchup. Marvin really seems to care about everything he is given at this point which is just amazing to see, anyone putting their body on the line with insane jumps to the outside and some spectacular bumps on this level of bout deserves major respect. He has got his working boots on and carries this from what would be a serviceable match to quite a good one. Its a shame Shiga is in it, he looks severely out of his depth, and there is some miscommunication at points but thanks to having three of the all time greats in Marvin, Ogawa and Sugiura this is a fun matchup to watch on this pretty great card."

[9.0] "Will Ospreay worked a flashier, more high-flying style in this than some of his most recent outings. Perhaps taking advantage of Claudio's strong base as well as creating a defined speed versus power narrative. Claudio countered with an oppressive heel approach as if to deny Ospreay's fighting aesthetic. Even without much build-up, they crafted an easy to follow storyline within the match itself that captured the live audience. The brilliant work of two professionals. A fantastic TV main event."

[9.0] "A shockingly great match. I don't understand Meltzer's rating. This crowd is hot and these 4 work like mad men. The crowd is, surprisingly, behind Hansen and Taue. It's like they knew this might be Hansen's last great stand."

[5.0] "I really do hate how the final showdown went down, I don't know their name but there was a person on the floor covering their head for the majority of the final battle and that really killed that part of the match for me, because you totally could have had them hidden somewhere and make the audience forget about them, sadly not the case. I will say that despite not knowing much to anything about the story, the final moments of the match were incredible and I was on edge. Other than that the match was a mixed bag, peaked at Utami's struggle and AZM vs Starlight Kid."

[8.0] "Really nice match starting with a massive chop battle and continuing as a hard fought combat. Tenryu is still amazing as 54 years old and Nakanishi works well with him."

[] "Way too overbooked, but that finish with Darby Allin dropping off the truss and putting Matt Hardy through the table was pretty damn great..."

[10.0] "Finding out Rollins wrestled this match with a torn meniscus bumps it up from a 9 to a 10 for me. I thought the match was already very good, with plenty of near falls and a satisfying end to a great first reign for the World Title. The payoff with McIntyre winning was great, and Punk ruining his moment to lead to Priests cash in was fantastic. Great match and even better angle."

[9.0] "I'm a fan of the Timeless Toni gimmick personally, but I'll admit her wrestling has been lacking since taking on the gimmick. That being said. I think this was Timeless Toni's best match by a decent margin. I've only seen a few AZM matches before, so I knew she was great, and I'm glad she got the chance to show out in front of a crowd that wasn't super familiar with her, and no doubt she made new fans of hers in the process."

[2.0] "This was standard if unimpressive opener fare, nice to see the older guys get a spot on the card, although SUWA deserved better. Momota and Kikuchi had definitely seen better days, and Izumida never really had better days to begin with. I think theres a reason this hadnt been reviewed before, probably because its quite dull. At least there arent any obvious botches and nobody is in any danger, the closing stretch gets a little exciting too before Honda gets the win. Don't have much more to say, definitely worth a skip."

[7.0] "Suzuki being a cat toying with a mouse. One sided bout ending with a surprise flash pin. Mostly fine, nothing more."

[7.0] "Even though the result was never in doubt, the odds were stacked against Grace and both challengers gave their best to bring an upsetting win. Xia was crafty and energetic, Tasha was clever and fearless, and Grace was meaty and ruthless. All these dynamics gelled well into a commendable three-way dance, meanwhile, the presence of Ash felt okay as TNA's build to her knocked the ceiling away and started to feel a bit overrated. 3.25 out of 5 stars!"

[5.0] "Safe to say the right man won this one. It was a very impressive debut for Aguila and he landed some breathtaking stuff in this, especially on the outside of the ring. Super Loco ended up botching a lot of his moves unfortunately and that took me out of the match because of how sloppy it looked."

[10.0] "At the start of this match I was thinking why do these randoms have that high of a rating for this match on cagematch. After the match finished I understood why. This is the closest match I have seen to Shibata vs Okada. God that finish was brutal."

[5.0] "All the greatest hits of a Danshoku Dino style match, with Kazuma Sumi throwing in a couple of funnies himself."

[6.0] "This was the match of the night until the DQ finish. RKJ shown good things in this match and shined. Leyton Buzzard looked also good before his title match."

[9.0] "I'm not at all familiar with the work of Daniel Makabe, but ZSJ was wonderful in this match in bringing out the strengths of his opponent. It was interesting to see ZSJ working on a low-key American indie show like this. They wrestled for over 20 minutes, with careful yet competitive grappling interspersed with hard-hitting striking segments. With a slow climb towards the end that made the whole thing feel high-stakes. Great match."

[7.0] "Nice fight between two undisputed legends. Lots of dominant Finlay holds and locks which I always am a fan of. Not too much to say other than this is a solid 90s super junior match. [***1/2]"

[10.0] "(*****) One of my top 5 matches of all time. It is insane to think that a much that good was at the start of the year and it still is moty."

[6.0] "This was a fun match, but MLW seem to have stolen the corrupt referee angle from AAA. It doesn't work better here."

[7.0] "The wrestling is not that interesting but the acting of 3.0 and their selling of FIST brutal offense make their victory a feel good moment."

[10.0] "Saw the score was high this one for an eleven minute match so I decided to check it out and now I understand. This is definitely one of the best Stardom matches I have watched. It is unbelievable what they accomplished in those minutes. Creative sequences, using everything around them in clever ways and the last three minutes were insanity."

[4.0] "A short match which was mostly about Kazuki Hirata's comedy. It was good to see KANON and Yukio Naya tie up, even if only briefly."

[10.0] "Yeah this obviously isn't a good wrestling match, but its one of the most fun and chaotic spot fests I've ever watched. I personally enjoyed this match more than TLC 2 at WM17. The spots were outlandish and looked great, especially the one where Bubba Ray goes flying through 4 tables. One of my new favorite table spots of all time. This was basically the wrestling form of cocaine."

[2.0] "I don't even understand why this match exists. It wasn't a complete botch mess but the Gates of Agony are uninteresting, Hook is alright and Jericho is someone that I can't stand to look at. A bad match within a stacked episode and a crowd that clearly doesn't give a damn about."

[] "What an absolute mess. So much disorganized chaos that the cameras kept missing major moments, eliminations, and story points. I particularly liked how more guys kept coming into the ring well after the match had already started, but were apparently still considered participants. But my favorite moment might be when David Arquette arrived on the stage at the very end, and within two seconds he fell through a section of the stage rigged to collapse when Jarrett or DDP fell off the big scaffold as they fought above him. And the announcers just didn't mentioned him, as if he never came out in the first place. Brilliant stuff."

[8.0] "These guys worked at a breakneck pace, suiting everyone's fighting styles in the best way possible. Shelley/KUSHIDA and GYV were great supporters for Sabin & Ali, who were relatively fresh off a great main event at No Surrender. The chemistry was top-notch, the length was adequate, and the dramatic dissolution of Time Machine was well put together. That drama helped the snarky villains so much to prevail victorious, that was the right move. 3.75 out of 5 stars!"

[7.0] "A really solid match to close the show. I'm glad that Williams got the win here again and I do think he's beating Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Title next week. Hopefully he can continue to deliver some good matches as champion, as well as good rivalries."

[8.0] "brilliant underdog babyface performance from Wakana. She's well on her way to being a superstar. Aja is an absolute legend, and she made Wakana look amazing here. Great match"

[8.0] "This was certainly a refreshing take on the no disqualification stipulation. Regal keeps getting disqualified whenever he has to fight Punk, so now Regal can't rely on that tactic. Instead of pulling out the furniture, the stipulation plays into them not having to abide by the rope break rule. This was incredibly physical, with both men throwing some stuff blows. Regal shows off what a seller he is by exhibiting nerve damage after getting kick incredibly hard."

[10.0] "awesome. amazing. inspiring. But enough about our Hero, Hyper Misao. This match is the peak of comedy wrestling. The random stack of Kaijus makes me giggle every time. And poor Mahiro getting hit and run TWICE is a Shakesperean level tragedy. I think Misao crashing down the Korakuen stairs might be spot of the year. I seriously can't recommend this madness enough"

[4.0] "An unassuming match that was greatly improved with the addition of wild and a raucous and bump from each man. Togi takes a very low-angle Buckle Bomb and reciprocates that by giving Yujiro a Spider German Suplex before the finishing K.K.K.D. [2.75]"

[10.0] "True technical masterclass from two of the best to ever do it. This was definitely better than their Final Battle match."

[8.0] "Regal and Punk have great chemistry and it is on full show in this little gem than barely goes past the 5 minute mark. The mat-work is flashy but with plenty of grit. Regal roughhouses Punk with a sickening boot while Punk is lying next to the ring post, which busts up Punk's face with some hardway colour. It's a shame that the great finish is obscured by a replay of Regal's half nelson suplex. Regal has Punk in a sugar hold, but Punk is able to fight his way to his feet and scoop Regal into a fireman's carry position and land the GTS. You just know this match got Regal to respect Punk as legitimate talent who is not afraid to play rough, even in the sanitised world of 2008 WWE."

[5.0] "Initially I didn't have any big problems with this match. It was a comedy spectacle and that's been a part of wrestling for a very long time. I took exception while watching Sami on the Stone Cold Sessions talking about it. He said, without a hint of irony or sarcasm, and even prefaced his statement with an apology by saying something to the effect of, "If you didn't love that match you're kind of stupid". Before that, I would've given this a 7 on pure entertainment. I didn't love it. Sorry, Sami, that doesn't make me stupid, it makes you pompous for assuming that kind of match should be everyone's preference."

[9.0] "Super slept on match in the history of ladder matches. Super fun match with everyone coming out looking great. Kalisto is the ballsiest man alive for the ladder spot him and Jey did."

[9.0] "Not the best wargames match but certainly a good one that would've benefitted from a live crowd. Very good. 8.5/10"

[6.0] "Can't believe I'm saying this about a NOAH junior heavyweight match in 2024, but this was enjoyable. Both Daga and YO-HEY aren't exactly my cup of tea, but they picked up big time in second half of this match, and got the crowd and commentary back into it. Props. 3 Stars."

[3.0] "I expect more from a main event involving the Triple Crown champ. Saito's inclusion in the main event scene has been baffling, as he his offense in generic, and he can't bump. His character is loved by the fans, but cheesy to me, so that doesn't help either. Yuma Anzai on the other hand isn't ready to carry the belt, but he is gaining confidence and growing into the role with each appearance. Unfortunately for him, Saito sucks, and there's nothing to work with. 1.75 Stars."

[4.0] "Kylie Rae has been spotty in terms of competition for a variety of reasons, but she still looks in good shape. Miyu Yamashita is again refreshingly free-spirited when working overseas. Miming her opponent's signature gesture, choking her with a streamer. Things she wouldn't do domestically as the stoic symbol of strength in TJPW. Fine match overall, probably went too long for the content they gave, which wasn't much."

[5.0] "Wow, for a early 80s TV match, this blew my expectations out of the water. Was it a must-see, no, but for the two men involved, in the era it was in and the time it was given, it was pretty good. Shame it ended in a DQ when it didn't need to (Sheik didn't even hit anyone with the chair) but a fun TV match between 2 legends."

[6.0] "An excellent main event with a lot of hard hitting kicks (mostly from Kota Umeda and HARASHIMA), a nice build up on pace, and a good amount of comedy - mostly from MAO. It also did a good job building the Akito and Yuki Ueno feud with Akito working his knees every chance he got."

[] "Oh my god, this is hysterical. If you created a fictional parody of a terrible wrestling match, you couldn't possibly do a better job than this real-life match. And that pedigree at the end! LMAO"

[6.0] "This wasn't a bad match, this was actually decent but nothing overly exciting. Both did a fine job and traded some nice and powerful moves but it never went to the second gear or told something amazing, it stayed basic from bell to bell and the interference of Sumie Sakai was poorly done, she looked lost - ***"

[3.0] "This was bad and not worthy of being a championship championship, the booking didn't showcase both wrestlers abilities at all and it never looked like a competitive or important match, it was just extremely basic all along with Sumie Sakai dominating Billie Starkz with a boring heelwork and once Billie Starkz did her comeback, Sumie Sakai cut off her momentum by avoiding the Swanton Bomb and throwing the title on Billie Starkz and started to fake a belt shot which led to Billie Starkz being disqualified, the idea wasn't bad but it was botched because Starkz failed to catch the belt so she had pick it up and she looked stupid. This was nothing of a match, the most memorable thing was the after match - *3/4"

[6.0] "Any post 2000 PPV match that ends in a disqualification is going to draw some ire, but this had a finish that killed the buzz of a match that was finally starting to find its groove. The opening exchanges put over Batista's power whilst showing that Punk's kicks can chip down Big Dave. Batista was dull and uninteresting whilst working on top, but he does have some decent cut-off spots when Punk makes a comeback. The finishing stretch is where things start to get interesting, with Punk's roundhouses being enough to change the tide of the match. It all means nothing though, as Kane soon runs in to spoil the party."

[5.0] "This was a fine match but not really exciting and some parts were pretty boring, and there was some sloppy spots like when Ram Kaicho did a cartwheel and hit Viva Van. There was some pretty solid nearfalls at the end and it increased the quality of the match but it was a bit too late because the match was heatless - **3/4"

[5.0] "This wasn't really good despite having good wrestlers involved, this felt really long and other than some nice exchanges between Mina Shirakawa and Tam Nakano (though the comedy at the beginning was a bit cringe especially with the ass to ass contact), and Aja Kong going kawaii mode, the match had nothing to offer and other than the star power and a couple of good things here and there - **3/4"

[6.0] "This was a good match featuring Mayu Iwatani and Konami who were obviously the stars of the match, their really intense exchange was the highlight of the bout, this was so cool to watch and both showed an excellent chemistry but they weren't the only good things of the match, Jada Stone and Maya World were good in their own right and they did a really nice performance here, Jada Stone showed impressive athletic abilities while Maya World was good as the underdog opposing Mayu Iwatani - ***1/4"

[5.0] "It was pretty cool to see AZM and Kyoko Inoue sharing the same ring, not something i thought i would see one day so this was a pretty fun experience and the comedy stuff between them was pretty funny but otherwise the match was easily forgettable, not bad just there. Never seen Dani Mo before and she was fine, her performance was solid all along - **3/4"

[8.0] "Great fast paced match and overall just really entertaining to watch. My favourite match on the card"

[3.0] "Meh Match worse match of the show. Literally dont remember anything of this 3/10, 1 star, . didnt really need it"

[5.0] "It was nice to see decay, but I wish there was a weird story that they do so the champs don;t look bad. 5/10, 2 stars"

[9.0] "for me I love KUSHIDA, he looked good, but its fine if he didnt win. Sabin was a good Champion and the match was awesome with El Hijo. 7.25/10, 4.00 stars"

[8.0] "I love ABC Chris and Ace are one of my favorites in TNA. and this is a really good Tag Match. 8/10 4.00 stars"

[9.0] "one of my favorite Match. This was my first time seeing Alex Hammerstone, and I actually really liked this. 8/10, 4 stars"

[9.0] "My 2nd favorite Match of the night, knowing just a little that Trinity was leaving made it better, as she gave it her all. 8/10, 3.75"

[8.0] "I might be very STUPID, but I actually thought that Shelley was going to win. For me Moose was just there, but this match SLAPPED 4 stars"

[5.0] "On one hand, this is a de facto number one contender match between two main eventers. On the other, it happened on such a small show because this was the usual Jake: absolutely average."

[6.0] "It's a shame that Sheik wasn't better in the ring because he looked like an absolute beast in this match and could have had a longer main event run then he did, rather then a random heel for Hogan to beat. I've always enjoyed Backlund and I think he should be remembered more then his is for being a good wrestler. These two mesh petty well with a hot crowd and a good story with Sheik working over Backlund's neck. The big downside of the match is it's just slow and long restholds which was the style of the time but doesn't age well today. It dose however have one of the important finishes in wrestling history. Overall, a match that should be watched for historical reasons."

[10.0] "I just rewatched this MASTERPIECE for the 3rd time and for a 3rd time I cried watching this match and this doesn't happen often for me watching wrestling but this was the greatest Main Event in Wrestlemania history, it is the perfect storyline to end the greatest title run of all time. This isn't just a match, it is CINEMA. The perfect mix between in-ring wrestling/storytelling and the spectacle that is Wrestlemania. Any of the marks giving this lower than a 9.0 don't enjoy wrestling unfortunatly but deep down we all know how good this was. *****"

[7.0] "A traditionnal Chikara match with the Ant, Gargano, Chucky-T, Quackenbush but with an extra bonus Manami Toyota, she is extremly protected only doing power moves against group or with Portia Petez jobbing hard for her."

[6.0] "Mills and JJ deliver some good high flying action in this match, mixed with some good strikes. The stoppage at the ends was a good way to end the match."

[7.0] "An enjoyable farewell match for Sabin and Shelley from TNA. Considering how experienced these four are in teams, I dont think it hit the level that all four are capable of but this was still pretty good. Effective in putting over the main team on their way out. In this run, Shelley and Sabin have been two of the most consistent and high quality members of the roster in singles and in tag matches. I feel like their departure from TNA in ways is not looked at as impactful as it should be with the fact that they are two of roughly four active wrestlers that were at least there a lot in TNAs heyday (Kazarian and Eric Youmg being the other two, while names like Eddie Edwards/Josh Alexander/Jordynne Grace would have fit right in.) An unfortunate way for their run to end here but both should have bright futures ahead of them."

[5.0] "KANON continues to grow into one of the most enjoyable and promising wrestlers in DDT. I've taken a while to get an understanding of the character of Daisuke Sasaki, but when he brings a small sample of comedy into the character, which he does here, it really clicks for me."

[7.0] "Definitely not a gauntlet match to follow, but just format alone was still enogh to make it kinda interesting. I just didn't like that there was more emphasis on how Mirai's different rivals offered different fights rather than on her. Syuri and Kashima's emotions after the match were by far the best part of it. The fact that Mirai always defended Sakis presence in the group at all costs, and Kashima remembers this is simply heartwarming."

[7.0] "quite slow start. does not do justice to the capabilities of both teams. The ending was good and entertaining. In general it complied but it didn't feel epic. If it's the end of MCMG in TNA I will be sad. They will be greatly missed in the programming."

[8.0] "This match was a platform to work on Hammerstone's alignment to the heel side, and I liked the presentation most of the time. The methodical pace fit the ring ethic of Alexander but wasn't as favorable for a rapid beast like Hammerstone. However, he found his way to keep engaged while taking the bullets from Alexander like a boss. The 10-set German Suplexes was a hard yet effective way to cement Hammerstone, but the standard finish positively overshadowed it. 3.75 out of 5 stars!"

[8.0] "An awesome match for only being about six minutes. Dragunov almost always puts on good matches, so this isn't really a surprise for him. As for Evans, I know he's a good wrestler, but this was a really good performance for him that did a nice job of establishing him in a strong way."

[8.0] "Quite exciting mma inspired tag match and the crowd is getting louder. Plenty of twists and turns. They do a good job varying between kicks, strikes, submissions and throws."

[7.0] "A pretty solid match here. DIJAK has been putting on a lot of entertaining matches in NXT. I'm really glad this run has allowed him to do a lot of that in a relatively prominent way. As for Dar, he did good here as well. I'm not always a fan of his in-ring work, but this was good."

[7.0] "One of the best parts of the three big round-robin tournaments in Japan is the upsets. Ayabe was fantastic in this role. He throws a mean elbow and moves well for his lanky size. Miyahara is the perfect opponent, he's always shined with simplicity. The crowd loves Kento, but they want that upset. And they played into it perfectly. Every big move from Kento is fought through. Wonderfully executed. 3.5 Stars."

[7.0] "felt really short to be a two out of three falls tag team match, definitely too short, nice tag team in the bees."

[9.0] "Good match Colby and Joe are really Good. This was a nice NWA match, nit that long but it felt just right."

[5.0] "A fine singles match between these two Canada natives. Havok distraction allowed Rosemary to pick up the win."

[5.0] "A fine multiman tag match. Hard for anyone to stand out with so many people involved but a fine effort with an unsurprising result."

[8.0] "No way did Rusev and Aiden lost. Horrendous booking decision. Rusev and Aiden got tremendous reactions, Shelton and Gable delivered, The New Day was pretty fun to watch with their comedy stuff and The Usos...were just there to retain. God, still to this day I don't understand why Rusev and English have never been the Tag Team champs"

[5.0] "It definitely had some quality to it, but I just couldn't get into it. Billy's "The One" gimmick has taken all the charisma out of him and as a babyface he barely had any personality, but on the other hand Benoit was fantastic once again. His demeanor, attitude and intensity were inimitable and he could make any match at least watchable thanks to that."

[6.0] "Solid match with a good performance from Deppen. The result was never in doubt but a solid competitive match for Dark."

[7.0] "Another match of starting slowly and little by little adding more excitement. Although the match wasn't awfully long, they managed to make it feel like a struggle at the end."

[6.0] "Solid trios match. GYV and Ali work well together. Deaner took a lot of the brunt from them. Something had a couple nice moments."

[6.0] "This was a good match. I've always enjoyed Kenzie Paige, and Ruthie Jay has been impressive in the few showings she's had s far."

[5.0] "It was a chaos, but I would be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy Bubba's hot tag and later the whole sequence from the Dudleys. Of course I was irritated by some lack of tagging here and there, but at least the spots were fun, plus K-Kwik once again looked very impressive."

[6.0] "This was a good match but it seems slow knowing the two wrestler. It looks like DeReiss had a leg injury at the end of the match wich can be why this match felt slow. Still good action with hard strikes."

[7.0] "This was a standard main event match that went a little bit too long for me and outstayed its welcome slightly. It was slow but decently worked and like most other matches on the card it got better towards the end."

[8.0] "This was an incredible match considering it was on an episode of Raw! Gunther has the upper hand for a substantial period of time, getting high impact moves and strikes in and Owens seems to have no chance before an impressive comeback at which point the action builds with excitement. Numerous nearfalls before the conclusion. Great stuff from two of my favourites!"

[8.0] "Loved the premise and all the gimmicks in this match.. the rubber hammer, the leg spot the crowd chants you sick duck the fall asleep and sushed crowd chant spots. The premise of this match was that Coyle wanted to have a normal deathmatch but Matthews and his partner Wing Commander Nash wanted to keep it family friendly and kept thwarting his efforts at bloodshed with a variety of family friendly gimmicks. A wrestler being slammed into little rubber duckies called thumbquacks- need I say more. Loved it. Also to add. Its the small details about this that I loved, like how the ref put his black rubber gloves on for the imaginary blood."

[9.0] "Nothing to complain about here except the commercials. Very smooth back-and-forth match and I believe they are saving the best stuff for their rematch. Well, Chad's heel turn pretty much confirmed that. Chad snapped and it made sense. I'm glad that WWE is keeping IC Title relevant after Gunther's unbelievable reign. Can't wait to see what's next, because this story has potential"

[6.0] "Actually quite liked this. The control segment from DBSJ takes up the majority of the match, and despite it being a bit boring, it makes those big near falls at the end. This all works because DBSJ has realized his limits as a performer, and is leaning into making what he has work while working the crowd. Yuma is a great sell and bumper too, and picks up a nice babyface steal. 3.25 Stars."

[8.0] "Really liked this one. I loved Hanan's fighting spirit, and how she used SLK's high flying tendencies against her with the backdrop off the top. The "fluky" rollup leaves room for further rematches too, which is great. SLK was awesome here too, she's incredible working on top or from behind. I don't understand what it will take to get her a top belt; she's over domestically and internationally, and she's consistently putting on some of the best matches on the card. Give her the White Belt, Okada!"

[8.0] "Not as great as their Crown Jewel match but storyline perfect to kickoff punk vs Drew teases. Didnt enjoy how Seth started the match kicking out of Claymores back and forth. I loved the Drew tweet angle, so funny. It was cool Drew getting his moment but idk if priest is a WHC worthy but the angle of the cash in they did was good."

[7.0] "There was some great heel promo work from HT Drake before the match. Overall not a massive fan of this match although it wasnt bad, just average. Could have done without hearing them call spots all the time as well. It got a lot better towards the end but was slow and a little bit botchy for the at least the first half of the match. Match was saved by a great finishing sequence though."

[5.0] "Now, that's what I expected from these giants. Kon isn't the best hand to pick a fight, but his rusty talent was shadowed by the stipulation and PCO's willingness to act wacky. The latter's bumps nicely catalyzed Kon and after a brief exchange, it was time to wrap up that favored the old-and-gold monster. It didn't overstay, made the cut of a filler match, and left a good aftertaste. 2.5 out of 5 stars!"

[6.0] "There were some great comedy spots by Decibelles at start of this match. All the workers in this match were competent considering this is a small scale fed. However the start of the show here was Rhio. Nice post match angle as well which set up the next match in Leeds nicely."

[7.0] "This was a great opener for the show and set the tone nicely for the evening. There was a clear face / heel dynamic which played into the yay boo feel of the family crowd. Some nice technical work by both women. Lucy Sky has improved an awful lot since I last saw a match of hers a few months ago. Cracking heel run it at the end as well. Really enjoyed this."

[5.0] "Perazzo has done so so little since she came to AEW. I really wish shed stayed at TNA where at least she felt like a big deal. This match was slow and plodding and the crowd were bored as anything. Evening starting a this is awful chant at one point. Supposed it served its purpose in advancing the womens title storyline."

[5.0] "A more or less energetic ending raised this match from the level of terrible to the level of just a formal uninteresting battle. They just needed to put a tick in their confrontation, but I cant say that this is where Sakurai showed all her progress without Tamu."

[7.0] "These two have a fantastic chemistry with each other. Third match from them and I think it's my favourite. I was worried that it would be a brawl all around the arena at first, but they quickly got back in the ring and went on with the match. Kane was dominating the bout and his offense on Jericho looked brutal, delivering a scary looking Powerslam outside of the ring and a phenomenal Chokeslam inside. They didn't overdo it with near falls since these tend to get monotone and the ones they did got the crowd cheering even louder for Jericho. The finish was so so, but it was still a very good Last Man Standing."

[8.0] "Really nice match here. Loved the clash of styles. Mei gave it 1000% as always, she's often the MVP of the multi-person tags, and her speed and unique offence make every match she's in better. Ami isn't all the way there yet, but I really think she's coming along, and it was nice to see her use her size to her advantage in this one, especially with the finish. It's really cool that they gave her this Cinderella run!"
