[3.0] "This was not that great at all. Thankfully everything Nick Gage touched on this show turned to gold. This is also Nick's first deathmatch show after coming back from prison so that probably explaines why he's so ampt aswell. Pondo/Matt/Mathis- Terrible way to kick this show of and nearly cured my insomnia. Pondo and Matt don't seem to give many shits about this match either but the shock win from Mathis was nice. Even in 2025 Pondo and Matt can have a better match with eachother then this. 1/10. Crane/Adam- Was again not a great match at all and I'd say arguably worse then the opener due to not having anything memorable off the top of my head. 1/10. Gage/Sid- Sid Fabulous got absolutely destroyed in a brutal and memorable one sided beat down that I enjoyed alot. Gage ripping the barbedwire board out his hair was gnarly and probably moment of the whole show. Nicks also in arguably the best shape of his career aswell. Really fun squash. 5/10. Viper/C- Well Viper, you've come a long way from fighting Shawn Michael's and having his last match till Summerslam 02. Now you blowing your knee out in a venue named "The Haunted Barn". All jokes aside this match actually had some decent wrestling. It's not anything you have to go see but it's fine. Some nice hardcore moments too. 5/10. So now the show kinda becomes a mess due to Vipers injury so they give Gage a buy into the finals. Mathis/Crane- Now this was the deathmatch action I wanted to see on this. A good amount of lightubes, some crazy bumps. Just good shit. 6/10. Drunko/Mary- this is quite the mess. I usually like El Drunko but he's hit or miss for me and this is one of those misses. 1/10. Gage/Mathis- wasn't expecting Mathis to get the win here at all but they were trying to push a new star so it's respectable. Really solid finals that consists of Nick Gage just beating the absolute shit outta Mathis for the mostpart. 6/10."

[6.0] "Attended this event live and, unfortunately, it was marred with talent-related setbacks. John Wayne Murdoch cancelled day-of due to car issues and the second round was eliminated after Viper blew his knee out in what was at the time the best match on the show. // Matches // Mathis v Tremont v Pondo - 2 stars - This went on first due to the cage and wasn't the best way to start the show. Both Tremont and Pondo have mobility issues and didn't seem terribly motivated. They double team Mathis forever until he gets flukey eliminations on both. // Josh Crane vs Elkview Adam - 2 stars - I'm assuming Adam was Murdoch's replacement which is obviously a big step down. Your standard not good but not offensively bad deathmatch. // Nick Gage v Sid Fabulous - 2. 5 stars - Sid's purpose was to get absolutely murdered by Nick Gage and he did a really good job. Standout spot in my mind is Gage trying to get Fabulous out of a barbed wire contraption, ripping chunks of his hair out. Gage hitting the bootscrape w/a barbed wire chair going a million miles an hour looked insane from 5 feet away // Viper vs Smokey C - 3. 5 stars - All kinds of wacky, pointy weapons from the fans. These guys killed one another which is all the more impressive given the aforementioned injury to Viper which apparently happened early in the match. // Ron Mathis v Josh Crane - 4 stars - Another match where they killed one another. Highlight had both climb on an extremely unstable wood scaffold thing and Mathis sent Crane through a table covered w/light tubes. // Mary Dobson v El Drunko - 1 star - Not Nate Webb. The gimmick is amusing but this was supposed to be a showcase for Dobson who wasn't very good at the time. // Nick Gage vs Ron Mathis - 4 stars - The finish was goofy but everything that came before it was great. Mathis would end up hospitalized afterwards as Gage beat the brakes off of him the whole match. I think Mathis winning was a huge letdown to most but it was fine."

[6.0] "Very short show. Entertaining enough The biggest complaint is definitely Nick Gage losing in his first death match tournament back. Just nonsensically booking that didn't make the actual winner (Ron Mathis) look as good as the winner should. A good show if you want something quick and entertaining, but don't expect more."
