[6.0] "Donst/Rickey was a tremendous opener with well-tought out action and a true purpose behind the violence, but the finish was atrocious, as the pinfall in the trunk a pick-up looked impossibly awkward and RSP simply isn't nimble enough to pull off such a feat. Masada/Claxton built up nicely, as while Conor Claxton crimson mask was really forced, he managed to absorb Masada'a offense and reverse the tendency to chop down and eventually defeat the beast, a great underdog performance Colon/Havoc was formulaic but pleasant, as Alex Colon really went all out in his deathmatch tournament debut, vastly surpassing my expectactions. Tremont/Cannonball is basically the local hero giving his friend a chance, and while they are comfortable with each other, nothing new or exciting came out of this slow match-up. Aaron/Mathis was never aired, weirdly Rickey/Claxton was quite fun, two underdogs fighting for a spot in the Finals, with insanely reckless spots and a perfectly executed finish that sends a dangerous contender in the main event. Tremont/Colon was very gritty, reminiscent of early tournaments where health didn't matter, and built to its violent climax that looked both safe and devastating, which is quite the exploit. The tag match felt very random and gratuitous, with a needless big bump ending the match. Hyde/Crane felt like one long ego stroke, with sloppy action all along that degrades the ultraviolent style and never ends. Then, without even finishing the match, BLKOUT and John Zandig come out of nowhere, beat up DJ Hyde and extort him saying that he gives back CZW ownership to Zandig, only to bury him alive anyway, in one of the stupidest and insulting angles I have ever seen. The Finals were alright, using the best weapons and keeping the biggest bump for the end. The gore level is forced and gross, but its decent. The tournament is nice, giving the ball to new talent and setting up a new main event contender to the CZW World Championship."
