[6.0] "Another bad episode of TNA Wrestling on PPV from the Asylum. Vince Russo really thinks anyone cares whose side he's on and that was evident from the neverending package that aired before Disco's promo. I can't wait until the book is taken away from him."
[5.0] "This is a weird show. Half of it is really good, and half of it is awful, with nothing in between. The show opens with a surprise match of the night between D-Lo Brown and Julio Dinero. Chris Sabin then puts on a surprisingly good X-Division Title defence against Shark Boy. At this point the wheels fall off, with a horrible match between Ron Killings and Konnan and the Harris Brothers with a horrible angle attached. That trend continues as Kid Kash faces Trinity and Goldylocks, which only scored higher out of respect for Trinity powering throw a wardrobe malfunction at the start of the match. A dark horse good match arrives thanks to Devon Storm and the Sandman in the Hard Ten Tournament. Things get back to being awful as America's Most Wanted and David Young and Traci face off in the finals of the Anarchy Alliance Tournament. Finally, we're treated to a good World Heavyweight Title match between AJ Styles, Raven, and Jeff Jarrett that could have been great if Russo didn't have to make everything about him."
[5.0] "The show started fast, with a Raven promo on the main event and on taking out D-Lo Brown. It was good and then D-Lo interrupted and begin to fight with Julio Dinero. They went to the ring and had a very good match. D-Lo did a top rope hurricanrana and Dinero hit some cool moves working on D-Lo's neck. Great work by both wrestlers I was impressed. The best Dinero performance on TNA so far. Scott Hudson makes his debut as an interviewer. He did a good job through all the show. Sabin faces Shark Boy on a decent X Division title match, with good storytelling and an impressive performance by Shark Boy. Sabin retains and looks strong. Next week he'll face London on what could be a great match. Konnan and Killings vs the Harris Brothers was horrible. The Harris are bad and boring in the ring. Too long for me, at least the right team won, with the help of BG James. Abyss makes his debut knocking out Erik Watts and helping Kid Kash win his match against Trinity and Goldylocks. The match was bad, but it's interesting seeing Abyss debuting like that on TNA. Devon Storm makes return to TNA on the best Hard Ten match so far. The point system is stupid, but him and Sandman put on a great perfomance with some use of the objects and spots. Credits to them, to make a match like this good. The final of the Anarchy Alliance Tournament was horrible. What a waste of time. Finally, the main event, the match was very good, as those three have good chemestry and did some exciting action. Shane Douglas made his TNA debut taking out Raven. I'm invested on that and I want to know what will happen with that storyline. But the ending was horrible, after a great match there's a ref bump which leads to Russo hitting Jarrett with a guitar that allows AJ to hit the Styles Clash for the win. After that, Russo takes the spotlight and begins to kiss the title. It was disgusting. AJ should haven won cleanly on his first world title win. Also, there's a cool Jerry Lynn an Justin Credible interrogation segment, which was fun and continues building a rivalry between them. And Gilberti cuts a promo on Vince Russo, cause he doesn't understand anything, and then gets destroyed by Russo. So, it was a thumbs in the middle show, it had some decent stuff and some horrible stuff."
[5.0] "This event was fine. Nothing special and nothing particularly bad. The reason this doesn't score any lower as a result as the show has two historic moments. The debut of the Abyss character and AJ Styles winning his first ever World title. There were some good points of light on the show also such as the opening match, the Shark Boy & New Jack interactions and I personally enjoy the Hard 10 shenanigans. Also at time of writing it is strange to see Dlo Brown and Mikkie James in the opening match after just watching Hard to Kill 2022 and hearing DLo call James' match as the main event ."
[2.0] "Another mostly bad episode of early TNA, unfortunately. Way too much Russo/Jarrett drama, to the point where AJ Styles first world title win gets completely trampled in the mess of overbooking, it's all about Russo as you can clearly tell because he immediately grabs the title and practically starts making out with it in a really weird display. Let's see what else, not one but two matches booked seemingly only so that women can get beaten up, a Russo fetish special, one terrible tournament finally ends in stupid fashion while the even stupider one keeps dragging out with no interest in sight, just a lot of bad here. Hilarious that Jarrett booked himself against two guys more popular than himself, when Jarrett demands a rematch with AJ you can hear the crowd audibly chanting "NO! NO! ". Amazing that these two brain dead morons booked a promotion together. The only positive, the first two matches were pretty good albeit short, and the main event was actually good up until the very bad finish."
[3.0] "Zur Verteidigung der Story hinter dem Opener sei dazu gesagt, dass D'Lo in einem No#1 Contendership Match von Raven und DiNero betrogen wurde, demnach ist es nicht schlimm, dass D'Lo wütend ist, Match geht so, 4/10. Sabin gegen Shark Boy ist auch nichts besonderes, Nu Jack danach umsonst, 4/10. Das Tag Team Match ist standard Heel-Face Kost, aber nicht schlecht, 5/10. Das Handicap Match muss ich mir nicht antun, wobei Trinity am Anfang gleich mal oben blank zieht. Sandman und Storm dann mit einem wie immer als Abwechslung dienenden Hard Ten Match, das viele nette Spots zu bieten hatte , 6/10. Das Finale im Anarchy-Turnier war vorhersehbar, schlecht und einfach unerträglich, sorry, 2/10. Main Event dann eigentlich ein guter und actionreicher Main Event, mit netter Story dabei. Kollege sign squad dürfte dann mit der Zahl an Ref-Bumps durchaus recht haben, Finish dann mit Russo, come on, 5/10. Insgesamt eine recht langweilige Show (bis auf den Titelwechsel im Mainer und dem Hard Ten Match), alles andere belanglos, uninteressant und zum vergessen, 3 Punkte."
[2.0] "D-Lo rennt auf dem Parkplatz in DiNero, weil beide das nicht leiden können prügeln sie sich und zwar in die Halle in den Ring und haben ein Match. Was für ein hirnverbrannter Müll. Match ist glücklicherweise nicht ganz so schlecht wie der Angle (*3/4). Sabin vs Shark ist ebenfalls erträglich, aber wir wären nicht bei TNA, wenn nicht sofort irgendwas dummes passiert. Das dumme ist hierbei Nu Jack, der nach dem Match eingreift (**). Konnan & Killings vs Harris ist schnell und knackig (*1/4). Kash als Wifebeater ist kaum erträglich und das Match schlimm, die Frauen noch schlimmer und die Idee unterträglich. Storm hieß mal Tempest, warum er nun nicht mehr so hieß, ist leider auf Russo's Schreibtisch untergegangen. Die Hard 10 Idee ist leider nicht mit untergegangen. AWM vs Tracy & Young ist ein weiterer Beweis, das niemand sich um etwas schert. Hatten wir nicht vorher schon untaugliche Frauen im Ring?? Der Main Event ist OK, allerdings gibt es erneut kein sauberes Finish, den 532. Refbump in TNA History und die gewissheit, das der NWA Titel keinerlei Bedeutung hat."
