[5.0] "Watching it back seven years on, I think it is majorly over rated, largely, I imagine, based on vibes rather than the actual show. Lee vs Rush was great, and the Callihan vs KTB match was good. The cluster fuck tells you in advance what it will be, but even by that standard it is terrible. Jannetty is poor and the title match isn't great. As for the production, this is peak unprofessional Excalibur, who spends so much time moaning about being told not to talk over the ring announcer or making weird comments not related to the show, and the sound levels are all over the place, so the commentary is really quiet and the ring mic really loud"

Best match of the night has to be Like Rush vs Keith Lee, They did the giant vs the cruiserweight but with a twist, the giant moves like a cruiserweight, I love the in ring story of Lio Rush trying to overcome Lee who can move just like him."

[6.0] "Whomever came-up w/ this idea is a natural marketer, as although this as a midnight show, the place still held hundreds of fans. Perhaps it was the promise of babes & bikinis, yet there were none all night. Boo-Hoo! In addition, for a guy who had a very memorable '16, reached a popular critical mass, and was the namesake that sold the tickets, I was surprised Mr. Janela did not make an appearance until the semi-final. Big mistake! , as it removed an opportunity for Joey to further endear himself to the crowd. As it stood, he wrestled the washed-up Rocker in an overbooked and too-long encounter; this was a longer singles match than he has had in a decade. So I was placing ice into my room's large garbage can, rocking/rolling to myself, when I turned around and saw that someone was watching me. He was carrying this small, pathetic ice bucket. I finished, walked by the gent, who may have been M Jannetty, or at least the Japanese version of, and said, "This is how it's done. " How else would my craft beers get quickly chilled? Anyway, the convoluted Jannetty match did no favors to Janela, and impossibly he emerged from his own show no more over than when it started. And the people wanted to party. Many were decked in goofy beach wear, and were looking for something more than just another show filled w/ matches. Unfortunately, the show was like any other. Someone who had a good weekend was Sami C. and this was the first Sami Sprint of the weekend I got to enjoy. Allie/C Bomb showed some personality but the match was a 'who cares' mess. Kingston/Tremont had a bloody brawl that enlivened the crowd. W/ the impossible comebacks of unknown J Lloyd, the 'Cluster' felt like just that. And there was no Death? ! That was a way in which someone could be eliminated so I thought for sure the Grim Reaper would show up and play a game of chess. 'Excellent, Bergman. ' Severn destroyed Kingston in AIW, but this was much more interesting, a back-and-forth. 6. 25"

[6.0] "Callihan/Kyle had an enjoyable opener. The Williams tag was inoffensive and fine, Williams looked good. Kingston/Tremont was not my cup of tea, but it had its moments. The gauntlet had its moments as well, but it was way too long and a mess. Killed the show for me. Rush/Lee was a solid match, but they are capable of a much stronger match. Janela worked around Marty's shortcomings fine and it was a spectacle. Severn/Riddle had a pretty solid match. There was not as much campy material as I would have liked on a show like this considering the hype for it going into the show, but it was a fine show overall."

[8.0] "As a show this was really unique, entertaining, and fun as hell. Probably the biggest show Game Changer has ever done. Great setup and atmosphere with the Janelaīs Spring Break -theme. The announcer & crowd dressed up for the "spring break" and the ring surrounded by all sorts of props like beach balls and other inflatables. The commentary was hilarious. The card was versatile with focus being on entertainment. 3 serious matches and 3 more lighthearted ones. All matches fitted the evening well. 13 Man Clusterfuck, Keith Lee vs. Lio Rush, Joey Janela vs. Marty Jannetty & Dan Severn vs. Matt Riddle all worth watching. Severn vs. Riddle was a refreshing improvised shoot style match with an rough edge brought by Severn and it totally rocked despite Severn being confused at times. Janela vs. Marty Jannetty was the funniest sh*t of the decade with all the build up and post match promos. The action, commentary and run-ins, just brilliant, i donīt care what anyone says."

[10.0] "THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! Watching this live w/Twitter was very very enjoyable. This should be appointment viewing for next year. Lee/Rush was really good. The Jannetty match was wacky and crazy. Riddle got a good match out of 58 year old Dan Severn. This was a hoot!"

[10.0] "Absolutely about the aesthetic and style of this show clicked. The Hawaiian shirts, the pool noodles, the beach balls, the laser light show, the rotating commentary, the music, everything. Callihan vs KTB was a hot brawling sprint, a perfect way to showcase Kyle by having him work Sami's kind of match; I loved that the Liger Bomb/Stretch Muffler combo was the finish (***1/2). Williams & Penelope vs Allie & Sutter was better than expected; Andy is much better than you'd expect a musician working a match to be, and outside of a botch or two Penelope vs Allie was good stuff (***1/4). Tremont vs Kingston wasn't the tantamount of violence it was billed as, but it was a really good hardcore brawl where Tremont bled like crazy and bumped like crazy; didn't live up to expectations, but still the match you'd think these two would have (***1/2). The Clusterfuck is something everybody needs to see; a combination of so many different kinds of styles and workers in a 35-minute showcase of Janela's ideas just being executed wonderfully, and everything about it that felt imperfect just sort of worked with the Clusterfuck stipulation; Glacier was pretty good for a guy his age, I'd like to say as well (I can't rate this shit). Keith Lee vs Lio Rush was the workrate break in this wild sport entertainment show, and it delivered; not as awesome as Keith's match earlier with Ricochet, but still a great David/Goliath bout where Lio had the fire to fight the monstrous man in front of him and Keith was as incredible as usual (****). Janela vs Jannetty is some raw sports entertainment with like 6 ref bumps, HBK references galore, Virgil in a mask, and Jannetty hitting a DESTROYER, although the first half was a bit dull (***3/4). Severn vs Riddle was a really legit-feeling semi-shootstyle match; the matwork, striking, and submission work were so great and effortless, and the atmosphere was so good with Dan's belts and Starr in Riddle's corner (****)."

[9.0] "What a show! Super wacky, the whole setting, the atmosphere, the commentary, the presentation all were absolutely tremendous. Callihan/KTB was an awesome opener, an intense sprint (***). The Clusterfuck was really fun w/ the Ethan Page vs. Glacier Mortal Kombat battle being the highlight. Lee/Rush was an awesome David vs. Goliath match (***1/2). Janela vs. Jannetty was an absolute spectacle - exactly as wacky as I predicted it would be. Excalibur's commentary during it was hilarious & so was Marty's post-match promo. Riddle/Severn was a legitimately super awesome shoot syle match, absolutely loved it (****). Here's to hoping that Joey Janela's Spring Break becomes a yearly WM Weekend tradition, because the first edition lived up to all the hype. What a goddamn show. Thumbs up big time!"
