[3.0] "Strickland/Jake was a bit off, as while the action was fluid and fun, Jake's new character is out-of-whack and straight up silly, feeling very forced. Donst/Deppen II was a big rematch, but completely wasted its potential by being so damn short, which would not even make a good story afterwards. The Intergender Tag Team Match serves to conclude a small feud, but honestly was not good at all. Dave/Rickey did nothing for me, feeling off and hollow, effectively wasting their superfluous efforts. MJF does not work for me, as both his promo and his squash were the cheapest of cheap, and CZW again recidivices with the repetitive Storm Of Entrails crap that goes nowhere. Starr/Riddle felt way too artificial and pretentious, not entertaining me at all and feeling obnoxiously long, crowned by a putrid dusty finish that reeks of crass manipulation and pure contempt for the fans. Gacy/Shigehiro was not great either, just another vehicle to senselessly push Joe Gacy as a bad drawing champion. Scarlet/EYFBO is a good defense for the champs, who again do a great carry job of the uber-protected EYFBO, but this is in the lower end of their matches quality as they controlled way too much. Janela/Stockade was a terrible main event, gratuitously piling up irresponsible and ridiculous highspots in a weird hardcore environment that exacerbated Janela's worst tendencies and made for a short overbooked garbage match with an overkill finish, topped by another overkill angle that continues the awful Tremont/Janela feud. The main event was a standard and personality-less deathmatch, ending on a quite average note. The show really did not connect well to me, with most matches feeling off, pretentious or plain bad, and even the best performers were caught in bad situations, with the rampant overbooking drowning everything and making them meaningless, making for a very weak overall show."

[8.0] "Good eighteenth anniversary show. Good production and good crowd. The upper card (last five matches) is what made most of the show. Under card was weaker than in previous anniversary shows although it included a lot of angles. The Storm of Entrails segment rocked! It was a good old jobber destruction segment, with the music and lighting all setup nicely as a warning of the Storm approaching. MOTN: David Starr vs. Matt Riddle - great intense sprint and beautiful offense from both. Other match highlight being: Scarlet And Graves vs. EYFBO - which was a great fast paced tag team match. Honorable mentions for: Joe Gacy vs. Shigehiro Irie - was solid wrestling and better than i expected. Joey Janela vs. Stockade - was a short refreshing hardcore bout with some impressive bumps from the big guy."

[8.0] "Jake Crist vs. Shane Strickland was a good fast paced opener. *** Chrissy Rivera & Greg Excellent vs. Homicide & Mercedes Martinez was decent **1/4 Dave Crist vs. Rickey Shane Page was good but was over in 5 minutes. ** Billy Danvers vs. Maxwell Jacob Feinstein was more of a segment than a match where SHLAK continued to look like a beast. David Starr (c) vs. Matt Riddle (c) was a great match, and the ending made sense. ***3/4 Joe Gacy (c) vs. Shigehiro Irie ***1/4 Scarlet And Graves (c) vs. EYFBO was good but had a bit of a shitty ending. ***1/2 Joey Janela (c) vs. Stockade was a good brawl. *** Notorious Inc. vs. The Nation Of Intoxication - I thought was a well paced match and I enjoyed it. ***1/4 Overall I thought this was a good show. Was a little hit and miss, and some of the matches like RSP vs Crist could of been great but were just pretty much thrown away which was a shame, but there were still some good matches on this show."

[8.0] "A solid show. The first several matches were kind of nothing as none went very long. Strickland vs Jake Crist was solid for its time (***) but it didn't get to go far. Two matches ended within seconds due to angles, although one was to forward MJF's heelishness and put over the destruction of Storm of Entrails (I don't know who the other guy that isn't SHLAK is, but SHLAK is great from what little I've seen of him). Starr vs Riddle was a great match that had a lot of heat and told a good story; both titles looked important, and the false finish, while a bit cheap and kind of expected, was executed well and held out a bit longer than many would've expected to trick some more people (****1/4). Gacy vs Irie was a solid title match, Irie looked awesome here while Gacy kept up (***1/2). S&G vs EYFBO was a REALLY good tag match that kept the pace up as well as the heat, with a bit of story progression leading to the finish; Ortiz & Draztik are one hell of a cohesive team (****). Janela vs Stockade was a solid match, Janela is madman and both gave and took some wild bumps in this using ladders, tables, and cinderblocks; the post-match with Penelope using a weedwhacker and then getting destroyed was neat too (***1/4). I honestly didn't pay attention much to the main event and didn't see all of it, as it didn't interest me at all. This show has 3 recommended matches from me, and a couple cool moments in there as well, so it's certainly worth your time."
