[6.0] "Good show overall . Aside from the squash the wrestling quality was consistent throughout . Nothing exceptional but entertaining enough . The entertainment portions where not great . Corenette , who is one of the few good talkers left in the industry , was given a difficult sell . Trying to get over the concept that the winner of a 20 man gauntlet match would be a deserving champ . What if it is the 20th ranked guy in the company ? Gimmicks never add to the credibility of a championship . My top match was Dezmond Xavier vs. Taiji Ishimori but it wasn't that much better than anything else ."

[6.0] "The 2017 Destination X "free-per-view" was a bit of a mixed bag. The X-Division Title and Super X Cup finals matches were both very good, and the Knockouts Title match was solid. The main event between Lashley and Sydal was an interesting if not entirely successful clash of styles, and the tag match was something of a weak debut for oVe/OI4K, with their unsigned opponents getting as much if not more offense in on them. The show did have to recover a bit from losing its scheduled main event - Alberto vs Low Ki - to Alberto's having been stripped of the belt. While the show was a little heavy on interference, a lot of that involved several rather surprising returns in the forms of Petey Williams, Taryn Terrell and, maybe most surprising of all, Jim Cornette. If the wrestling was a bit of a mixed bag (though leaning towards the positive), the storyline developments were certainly intriguing."

[5.0] "Sienna -vs- Gail Kim - (GFW Knockouts Title) [* 1/4] Gail Kim at the end of her career trying to win gold, but little about this was gold. Wrestling wise nothing special, plus there was a little outside interference before the champ retained. Dezmond Xavier -vs- Taiji Ishimori - (Super X Cup 2017 Final) [**] Xavier being the one to show what he's worth. Didn't feel they got the energy into this final. NOAH's Ishimori looked a little off and Xavier wasn't stealing the spotlight. There was moments which felt good, but considering it was the final, it felt a little disappointing. Sonjay Dutt -vs- Trevor Lee - (GFW X-Division Title; Ladder Match) [** 1/2] Lee defending "his" title. Well, he stole it from Dutt, so Dutt is just there to establish what is his. And he did in a semi-good Ladder match. Didn't become super exciting, but had a few cool spots to entertain the fans for a Dutt X-Division exhibition. Dave Crist & Jake Crist -vs- Jason Cade & Zachary Wentz [*] OVE debuting in a bland match. Not sure how I like the team. Not an instant love, but we'll see if they can win me over. Matt Sydal -vs- Lashley [** 1/2] A good match for Sydal being allowed to step-up from being a "nameless" X-Division guy to beating one of GFW's main heavyweight champion contenders. Actually Lashley looked like the real star in there. Sydal has to compensate a lot for his size, but at least they're giving the lesser guy a chance. Oh, and Cornette! The reason to watch this."

[9.0] "GFW Destination X was a very good show. Between a good womens opener, the finale of the Super X Cup, a fun ladder match, OI4K making their GFW debut as oVe, the returns of Jim Cornette and Petey Williams, and a very good main event from Lashley and Matt Sydal, it's a good time to be a fan of GFW."

[10.0] "Absolutely loved this episode, it was a PPV quality event as a weekly show. Didn't not see any of the returns coming. Each match had its own feature. Also they handled the World Title situation well and I'm really looking forward to next week."

[5.0] "The show started off ok with the Women's Title match which really wasn't anything special though the interference made sense due to past history between Gail & Taryn. The promo with Cornette, Prichard, and LAX was awesome and easily the best thing on the show. Everything else after that big promo just seemed solid or just boring. The Lee vs Dutt ladder match was just an average ladder match and the interferences didn't really help either. Sydal vs Lashley I had hopes for but that was disappointing and just way to messy and sloppy and the two just didn't have any chemistry. Overall this was just an average IMPACT show so nothing really new here."

[8.0] "I was disappointed to find out that Low-Ki wouldn't be getting his world title shot at Destination X due to El Patron being stripped of the championship. However, all in all, Jim Cornette was a surprise for me, i didnt expect that one coming, lets see what direction GFW Impact go this time. Always great to see Konnan on the shows."

[5.0] "Expected more. Gail/Sienna was OK, but was a backdrop for the surprise return of Taryn Terrell. They have a stronger match in them which they will hopefully get to do before Gail retires. The Cornette/Bruce segment was performed well, but it is hard to get excited at yet another authority drama related angle despite their portrayals. At least if an authority figure has to exist, Cornette makes an entertaining one on-screen. Xavier/Ishimori fit the model of this entire tournament: pretty good. There was little attempt made throughout this tournament to have stories told throughout with the wrestlers involved or for stories to be told in the ring (IE: Kendrick's run through the CWC last year, having someone having an unbeatable finisher which was briefly glossed over with Ishimori's 450. ) The crowd wasn't crazy for it and the action was not crazy enough to rile them up. An anticlimactic ending to their match did not help matters, but they did at least go with the right result. I would say there were better matches to have taken place in the course of the tournament. Dutt/Lee felt contained in the gimmick. They may have been able to perform better in a proper singles that got the same amount of time. The needless interference with the surprise return of Petey Williams was also questionable at best, especially after just having an interference-involved return earlier in the show. oVe did not have an impressive debut at all and in fact looked the weaker of the four involved in their debut. Sydal and Lashley did fine, but did not click as well as Lashley has shown to with other smaller wrestlers in TNA in the past such as Aries and Edwards. They had a couple awkward moments and while not bad, I expected more out of the pairing. The ending again came out of nowhere as well. Not a bad show, but one where even modest expectations were not met."
