[4.0] "I can't wait until Vince Russo is canned. He's a non-wrestler, yet the focus of the promotion. He booked himself to be a TV star, yet no one wanted to see him. I think he was washed up before he ever got to WCW and was running on fumes here."

[5.0] "It's hard to call this show fully satisfactory, as it falls off a cliff after excellent first half. That leaves a bad aftertaste when it ends."

[6.0] "This is a tough show to rate because the first half is excellent, while the second is hot garbage. The show opens with the match of the night, as Triple X defended their World Tag Team Titles against America's Most wanted in a stellar cage match. AJ Styles and D-Lo Brown followed it up with a second impromptu cage match that was fine. There was then a short, inoffensive lights out match between Justin Credible and Jerry Lynn. Frankie Kazarian and Chris Sabin had a phenomenal match, followed by a dull match between Kid Kash and Erik Watts. The Sandman and Sonny Siaki had an incredibly uninspired semifinal match in the Hard Ten Tournament. Finally, there was a terrible match between Raven and Jeff Jarrett and Glen Gilberti and Shane Douglas."

[6.0] "This show starts with one the best matches in TNA history so far: the steel cage match between AMW and Triple X. It was excellent, with great action and chemistry by the two teams. I loved it. It's a great way to finally put AMW over Triple X. Great spots. Then D-Lo Brown cut a promo on AJ and they begin to brawl on the cage and on the outside, it's weird. It was a fine brawl, but then Russo of all people came with a bat to destroy D-Lo. I'm a bit tired of that and on Russo having an important role on AJ's reign, it's all focused on him. Shane Douglas attacked the Gathering and then cut a promo on Raven, saying he fights Raven because he is trying to revive what he killed a decade ago and that he has made a deal with the devil. Then we saw a lights out match between Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible, it was too short and not really great. After Lynn wins, Credible handcuff him on the dancer's cage and beats him. Kazarian and Sabin had a very good match in which they showed how great they are with nice action, intensity and good chemistry. Kash and Watts have a fine match, in which Abyss interferes again. Sandman advances to the finals of the Hard Ten tournament in a bad match, because of the stupid stipulation. The main event wasn't great by any means, but we discovered that Douglas has made a deal with the devil, Father James Mitchell. I'm invested on that and I want to discover where this leads to. So it was a decent show, specially the first match, Shane Douglas promo and Sabin vs Kazarian. The rest was average, but not awful."

[4.0] "Certainly not the worst we've seen, the lack of Russo himself being on the show is always a help. Opener was phenomenal, surely a top MOTY candidate for TNA. The X Division match was pretty good as well. The rest of the show ranged from eh to bad, including a lame main event with a lamer finish."
