[4.0] "This show left a poor taste in my mouth centrally b/c many of those who are pushed are less talented, but fit more into Vinny Mac's anachronistic worldview. When he's not concussing people, (Devitt from last week's Raw, ) he's losing. A lot. In fact out of approximately 90 matches since his return to WWE, he's only won 10% of them. And it's not as if his past ever signified a winner as he was 3MB's #1 jobboy. But b/c he's big, 'diets' aka steroids/supplements aplenty, and is of a different racial demographic, he better fits into Vince's simplistic worldview and is now the #1 contender for the WWE championship. I'll be aghast if that Main-Events Chicago's 'Backlash. ' (Happy for the Bollywood Boyz but they're not great either. ) Perhaps the decision to go with the Jinder the joke was made b/c TNA recently announced their tour of India. Anyway, since AJ lost it, the title's a punchline. Notwithstanding its 'hot-potato'n, ' & the fact that the #1 contenders match for the World title was the opening match between mid-carders, there is no wrestler more complacent w/ what he offers in-ring than Randy Orton. And the week-to-week bookers know this as he's rarely featured in a main-event singles match except when paired w/ better/hungrier workers. Speaking of those people, Charlotte/Naomi & AJ/Corbin wrestled fast-paced matches, but that Louisville crowd did not want that denouncement for their main event. I thought, fine... at least KO didn't cause AJ to be pinned to another of MacMan's faves. Continuing, the Colon family, who still have a job due to the rampant nepotism in pro-wres, went over a team that were built into Big Stars on the NXT brand, but have been presented as faceless faces in WWE. So more time has gone into promoting the Colons into something than a charismatic Olympian. The matches themselves had highlites, esp. the choreographed moments of the opener, but G Gandy's next class will certainly be how to properly take a pop-up powerbomb. 3. 75"

[2.0] "Legitimately the worst episode of SDL I have ever seen, and I LOVE this show. Charlotte had a decent promo with some stumbles which leads to a nice moment with her throwing down with Naomi; 6 pack was really good for a TV match, but the WORST winner; what the hell were the other women even doing? where was Becky? , Charlotte has a meh as fuck match with Naomi; AA loses to The Colons in a short nothing match; no Nakamura? ; KO laid a good promo but was wasted on a squash match, finally AJ took Corbin to a great TV match."

[8.0] "Very good episode of SD Live. The opening with Charlotte and Naomi was good, a good brawl. The Six pack challenge was a fun match with a surprise winner and a good one, Jinder deserves it and his promo was great in every sense as a heel. Naomi-Charlotte was average as they were saving big things for their title match next week. Alpha vs Colons was dud as the crowd was dead. Kevin Owens new Fave of America gimmick is awesome and can bring back the credebilty to Kevin Owens and the US Title. The main event was just a good tv main event."

[8.0] "Great first hour, but I feel like the second hour didn't have as much of a point to it, but the main event was still solid."

[7.0] "Charlotte and Naomi sure know how to open the show. Six-Pack Challenge was such a fun match, the winner is an interesting choice, his promo was also great. Orton and Wyatt interaction was also great. Charlotte vs. Naomi wasn't excellent, Naomi is still in the process of founding the ground as a wrestler, the winner was a questionable choice, but will see. Alpha and the Colons couldn't connect with the crowd, I'm looking for more build for their rivalry. Owens is good at being The Face of America. The main event was an awesome TV match."
