[9.0] "This show pretty much gave birth to AEW, as most of the talent here ended up going there outside of Scurll, Aldis, and Mysterio. The matches were good, but the mian event stole the show. Hangman Vs. Janela was good, too. But this show was important to the business because it gave fans an alternative to the monopoly that had become WWE."

[7.0] "It can't be overstated how important this show has ended up being, and it's an unmitigated success in every sense of the word. Really loved Page/Janela & Omega/Pentagon Jr."

[7.0] "A historic and seminal show that's a pleasure to watch. None of the matches stand out, as most are at least decent. Most are good, and there's plenty of in-ring action, especially in the Hangman, Omega and Cody matches and the final 3v3. That said, the placement of some of the matches could have been changed, and the duration of the fights is sometimes surprising, especially considering how fast the main event was. What's more, despite some good in-ring action, the show's format doesn't allow for 1v1s with much of a storyline, even if seeing certain wrestlers cross paths is enough to make you curious, with or without a title on the line. Finally, this first All In concentrates a lot on the fights, leaving little room for nonfight angles, with the exception of a few small segments and what is the only surprise of the evening, which is already not bad. (The score does not include the match involving Marty Scurll, for obvious ethical reasons). In-ring quality: 3.5/5. Non-match angles and segments: 1/3. Bonus/malus: friendly atmosphere +0.25. Total: 6.75/10. Show seen on AEW Plus."

[5.0] "Three great matches , two stinkers and 4 meh/okay matches. Hangman vs Janela definitely should have been the opener and it could afford to cut 2 or 3 matches. It's close 4 hours long but feels like 8. It's a very important PPV for the creation of AEW but I'd never recommend for anyone to watch this. I'd just tell them to watch the 5th, 7th and 9th match."

[9.0] "This show changed the landscape of pro wrestling for the better in 2018. The birth and genesis of All Elite Wrestling is right here. Most of the wrestlers either ended up All Elite or cancelled, but what an incredible show one of the best I've ever attended live. Are there any 5 star matches on this show? No, but it was the perfect showcase for all of these talents to showcase what they had infront of a large American audience."

[9.0] "It was quit decent show, maybe a bit too dragging some matches, especially Okada vs Scrull, that one didn't need to drag so long, especially since main even felt quit rushed"

[7.0] "This event has historical significance for sure, but in terms of quality, I wasn't blown away. The six men tag and Omega VS Penta are still excellent, tho."

[8.0] "A thoroughly enjoyable wrestling show, it transcends its indie roots and production-wise looked a million bucks (so to speak! ) Every match I felt delivered, and for my money the show only got better as it proceeded from one excellent match to the next. My personal favourite match on this card is probably Kazuchika Okada vs. Marty Scurll, with the Chicago Street Fight a close 2nd. I think this is the second best All In event after the 2023 AEW-helmed edition. The only negative is that the Six Man Tag main event seems a bit rushed due to time constraint issues, but this is a small grumble. All In 2018 is good enough that the slightly rushed ending in no way detracts from the overall excellent vibe of the show."

[10.0] "The first ever ALL IN in 2018 was independent wrestling's first ever big arena PPV that changed the landscape of professional wrestling in the years since. The in ring product overall was really brilliant showing some of the biggest stars of the indies at the time. MJF Vs Cross and Daniels Vs Amell were both fine, the women's four way and Lethal Vs Gordon were both real solid, Cody Vs Aldis was really good and Cody winning the NWA World Title was brilliant, Hangman Vs Janela, Okada Vs Scurll and Golden Elite Vs Mysterio, Fenix and Bandido are all really fantastic and Omega Vs Penta is just incredible. Overall ALL In (2018) is a such a phenomenal show and will always have a place as being one of the most revolutionary wrestling shows in all of professional wrestling."

[10.0] "This was a fantastic show that changed professional wrestling forever. Matt Cross vs. Maxwell Jacob Friedman was good match, and it was one of the worst things on the show. Christopher Daniels took on Stephen Amell in one of the better celebrity matches I've seen. Tessa Blanchard vs. Chelsea Green vs. Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Madison Rayne was good, but it showed that women's wrestling still wasn't quite there yet. Cody completed his first story by defeating Nick Aldus for the NWA World Heavyweight Title in a very good eighties style match. Hangman Page carried Joey Janela to an excellent street fight, even though he was saddled with the horrible Joey Ryan murder angle. Jay Lethal defended his ROH World Title against Flip Gordon that could have been really good if they hadn't stayed up all night watching the Mega-Powers explode. Kenny Omega and Penta El Zero M had the match of the night. Kazuchika Okada and Marty Scurll got close, but were ultimately held back by the length of the match and Scurll's ability. Finally, The Golden Elite and Rey Mysterio, Bandido, and Rey Fenix had an absolute car crash of a main event."

[10.0] "This show had some okay matches, but it's more of the idea that changed pro wrestling. Before this, ROH made big numbers in crowds was unheard of. This was the start of AEW and it changed pro-wrestling forever."

[10.0] "September the 1st 2019 was the night independent wrestling became the biggest thing in 2010s outside of Wrestlemania. Sears Centre Arena was the location where ALL11, 263 came IN to cheer on NJPW, ROH, future AEW talent, AAA, Bar Wrestling and many many independent promotions on. This event showcased 40+ of the all time best squaring off. We opened with battle of SCU vs The Briscoes in a tested state. Scorpio Sky with the Apollo Creed attire was cool as the Briscoes havent been saved yet in overthrowing the false idols. The over-the-budget battle royal to challenge for the ROH World championship had good appearances unfortunately won by El Chico Luchador aka an unbooked Flip Gordon. The ROH world title match was uninspired & frankly boring, the macho man entrance was stellar. Mainly the goal in reaching 11, 263 fateful couldnt be without the wrestling content that BTE produced. Many great storylines progressed until the one that generated the biggest attention was Nick Audis vs Cody for the NWA World Championship, excellent pro wrestling between the two where countless moments were realised by DDP, Arn Anderson and Earl Hebner. Cody Rhodes becoming the first father and son world champion in its lineage built a kingdom that Cody Rhodes rules two of the biggest companies since then. Opener of a young MJF been beating by Matt Cross at its time quite pleasing and looking back is a cool moment for the former Son of Havoc. 4 way womens matchup only contribution was Britt Baker before role model status. The Chicago Street Fight is a unstoppable crazy brawl from beginning to end. Omega/Penta had a battle that both continued to tell stories about today, Okada/xxxxx had cool moments as the rainmaker of old bubbled to the service. Main event was outstanding with little time on air they had with the golden elite defeating Bandido/Fenix and Rey Mysterio in his final Indy appearance, passing the lucha torch to them both. All in the original was a great time to be a professional wrestling fan."

[10.0] "In hindsight, none of these matches are jump-off-the-page great except maybe Omega/Penta, but the rating here is for the historical significance of this card. Most people watching knew that ROH and NJPW were putting together really good shows even if they weren't getting much attention, while WWE was several years in to insisting on Roman being an S-tier babyface and people were extremely sick of it by this point. Bringing this quality of wrestling to a larger audience, combined with an extremely hot crowd from start to finish, jumpstarted AEW into viability and would later force WWE's hand into putting on higher quality shows (even if the latter was probably more of Triple H getting the green light to do mid-2010s NXT on the main roster once Vince was ousted due to real-life events). Extremely ironic given how much Cody spearheaded both this and AEW and went on to become the S-tier babyface in WWE that they wanted Roman to be, and probably the best drawing babyface since Cena. In summary, American wrestling as a whole is drastically better for this having existed."

[6.0] "Half of this show is severely overrated and there are parts that I remember fondly but look back on with slight disappointment. Still, there are plenty of good matches with Omega vs Penta being the best, but production-wise and pace-wise, not great. Insane that zero hour was better lol"

[8.0] "Very good show. MJF/Matt Cross is a solid opener. Daniels/Amell is better than expected. Four Corner Survival is a great women's match. Both title matches are fun. The Chicago Street Fight is a crazy brawl. Omega/Penta and Scrull/Okada deliver. The main event is fun but should have been longer. Overall, a very entertaining show."

[9.0] "This was a good show that I've rated higher due to its importance to the changing landscape of professional wrestling with the subsequent creation of AEW. The Hangman/Janela match as well as the last three matches were the highlights, although the atmosphere around Cody/Aldis was a spectacle in and of itself."

[10.0] "All In, the PPV that started with what would be All Elite Wrestling, an excellent Event with good and entertaining matches, with great new and well-known wrestlers, was a great success for indie wrestling."

[8.0] "Really good event, you had matches ranging from pretty good to really good. It was a historic event."

[10.0] "The significance of this show can't be understated. All In was the catalyst that birthed AEW into existence the following year, thus offering WWE actual competition for the first time in years, and AEW only looks to be getting bigger as time goes on. That's huge. On top of that, there were some great matches on this show to boot."

[10.0] "Definitely one of the most important wrestling shows of all time, and easily the most important one of this generation (at least as far as US/Canada goes). There were definitely some missteps with both Okada/Scurll and Lethal/Gordon going too long, but this show had something for everyone."

[10.0] "This event really was the perfect Independent Wrestling show. It did a great job celebrating the sport of pro wrestling. I really enjoyed the commentary and the crowd was red hot. My MOTN was Omega/Penta, but I enjoyed most matches. It also is very influential as it pretty much was AEW's inspiration. Great show."

[7.0] "Pros: - Kenny Omega vs Penta El Zero M (match of the night and had to be the main event especially including Chris Jericho's attack on Kenny Omega instead of Young Bucks' rushed bragging match); - Kazuchika Okada vs Marty Scurll; - Adam Page vs Joey Janela; - Jay Lethal vs Flip Gordon; - 4-way women's match; Cons: - Matt Cross vs Maxwell Jacob Friedman; - Christopher Daniels vs Stephen Amell; - Cody Rhodes booked himself winning NWA World Heavyweight Championship; - Young Bucks putting themselves and their own match on the main event; - the segment featuring Joey Ryan and Adam Page; In conclusion, All In was a good show which could be even better if it had more substance or gave less focus on Cody Rhodes and Young Bucks' egos."

[10.0] "This was an important wrestling event being the first show in North America to draw more than 10 000 fans other than WWE since the death of WCW. And to think it was done by the wrestlers themselves, amazing. Still as an actual show this was tons of fun, the show had such a great vibe to it with good wrestling top to bottom but also different types of wrestling as well, great crowd that was hot for everything. The best non-NXT show of the year hands down."

[10.0] "YES ! after many month finally i saw a super ppv and i love it. i am big fan of pro wrestling , basic on wwe but i love this ppv. everything in this ppv was good maybe somethings had a little problem but isn't matter. many talented wrestlers are in this ppv and they do their best. matches time was good & matches quality in afew matches maybe wasn't very good but in more matches was great and i love that."

[5.0] "I'm glad that I purchased this ppv because I believe in the project and I'm proud that it was a success. However if I'm judging this completely objectively, I can't say that it was an especially good show. Some of the things couldn't be helped. For example, the first row of fans in the crowd looked bored for most of the show. Others were mistakes that significantly hurt the show. For example, Cody blading was completely unnecessary and a forced attempt to capture the past, and the fact that he took forever to do it hurt the pace of the match and made the finish feel underwhelming. The Joey Ryan and penis druid schtick was stupid and exactly the kind of crap that fans would have ripped to shreds if Vince Russo wrote it. The ROH title match was amusing, but the Black Machismo gimmick was played out years ago and just turned the match into a stale comedy act. The woman's match, Daniels/Amell and Cross/MJF were all pretty average - not bad, but nothing special, like an average episode of Smackdown. Omega vs Pentagon was hands down the best match of the night, though Penta overdid it with his hand gesture, which felt silly by the fifth time. Scurll vs. Okada was also very good, but it started poorly with the god awful Scurll backstage skit. The six man tag was a good match, but it was very rushed and had no business being the main event. I'm 38 years old and I've been a fan of indy wrestling for my entire adult life, but this just wasn't as special as it's advertised to be, and it certainly wasn't worth $40 bucks. It doesn't hold a candle to NXT TV, let alone Takeover specials, nor was it as entertaining as any of the ROH shows that I've attended or watched on DVD. It wasn't bad, but the overhype combined with the many flaws just left me feeling like I was forcing myself to try to enjoy it and make the best of it."

[4.0] "The match quality was all over the place, which is fine when it includes matches as good as Omega/Penta and Page/Janela. But the actual layout of the matches on the card was very weird. I can only guess that they put Omega/Penta as low on the card as it was because they wanted to make sure they had time? Which, benefit of hindsight, turned out to be the right call since /everything/ went over time on this show. Stuff dragged, even the best matches could have stood to shave a couple minutes. In the end, a show that was supposed to be a big moment in wrestling history quickly cut off the air before we could hear the promoters of it give their passionate promo, which from the sounds of it was the best part of the show. Beyond all that, though, there were two big issues I had with this show. The first was that while the show was promoted as being a truly independent event run entirely by the workers themselves, it ended up feeling like just an ROH show with a few non-ROH guys booked. The commentary, the presentation, the booking, being on Honor Club; this felt like ROH, and I didn't tune in for ROH, nor would I have if I'd known. Now I don't know if that's because ROH wanted a piece of the pie and Cody & The Bucks cut them in, or if Cody & The Bucks just realized they were in over their heads in actually running the event once the tickets were sold and went to Sinclair for help. Either way, I'm no ROH fan, so that was a turn-off. Secondly, this show was /extremely/ insider. This was The Elite: Live, essentially. Which is fine for diehard fans of The Elite! I'm not as much into them, but didn't anticipate that being an issue. It turned out that a lot of the show just wasn't for me, though. Clearly given the page rating, a lot of people feel strongly that the show was for them."

[10.0] "The biggest independent wrestling show in history has come and gone, and it delivered in spades. Cross/MJF was decent (**3/4), Daniels/Amell was a ton of fun (**3/4), the women's 4-way was great, everyone got a chance to shine (***3/4), Cody/Aldis was a great old school match, I seem to be in the minority for this one (***3/4), Page/Janela was a good street fight with some ridiculous spots (****), Lethal/Flip was an entertaining bout (***1/2), Omega/Penta was a fantastic back and forth (****1/2), Okada/Scurll was a fantastic match with fantastic storytelling (****1/2), and the 6-man despite being way too short was my favourite of the night (****3/4). One of the most memorable events I've ever seen."

[7.0] "Cross vs. MJF (***) - Amell vs. Daniels (**1/2) - 4-Way (**3/4) - Cody vs. Aldis (***) - Janela vs. Page (***1/2) - Flip vs. Lethal (***1/4) - Kenny vs. Pentagon (***1/4) - Okada vs. Scurll (***1/2) - 6-Man Tag (****) All in all, a very entertaining show which had a couple glaring issues, mainly being the main event length. I don't really know exactly what caused the rest of the matches to overrun but it was just disappointing that the main event wasn't able to have enough time, but it was still MOTN for me. Solid show, Janela/Page was my No. 2 with Okada/Scurll taking my No. 3. A definite success from the Bucks and Cody, hats off to them."

[7.0] "Never have I seen such a hyped "indy-style" event in my 20+ years of watching pro wrestling. Only recently have I gotten into independent wrestling (say 2016-2017) and have followed a bunch of promotions, so I knew a number of the wrestlers involved. Now I will be honest, Im only watching All In because I follow the NWA and the Ten Pounds of Gold series, so that was the only real reason I currently invest some time to watch this event. I knew of the background and the stories that led to this, so I went in with the mind to see what its all about. So far, the event has been solid and a good showing from all involved. The first 3 matches were pretty good but not much can be said there. The NWA title match is the reason Im here. A wonderfully crafted storybook match that culminated 9+ months of story-telling, dating all the way back to late last year when the Youtube series first started. I didnt care much for Cody winning, but I know he will be a good rep for the NWA going forward. Gotta give Aldis his due, he was a fantastic champ. Furthermore, why this match was in the middle of the show and not further up the card knocked a few points off. The Chicago Street Fight and Pentagon vs. Omega were fantastic. Nothing further can be said about those two, with the latter including a top performance by one of my favorites, Pentagon. The final two matches were very good but didn? t have that main event feel to them. Overall, I? d say this was a pretty successful event."

[8.0] "Historic show. SCU vs. Briscoes: ***1/2 Cross vs. MJF: *** Daniels vs. Amell: **1/2 Blanchard vs. Green vs. Baker vs. Rayne: ***1/2+ Cody vs. Aldis: ***1/4 Page vs. Janela: **** Lethal vs. Gordon: *** Omega vs. Penta: ****1/2 Okada vs. Scurll: ***1/2 Bandido, Fenix & Mysterio vs. Golden Elite: ****"

[9.0] "A very fun event with a top notch atmosphere and a special feeling to it. Janela/Page ended up being my favorite match of the night, I don't follow BTE but the action spoke for itself, and the well made video package clued me in to the stuff with the boots and the phone. Penta/Omega and the main event really did it for me as well, both matches were worked smartly and in a style that kept the show going really well. I would honestly say no match was bad, and all but 1 was good. I thought Flip/Lethal was merely decent, but still not bad. I think they can top this in terms of match quality but still this was a special event."

[9.0] "ALL IN largely lived up to the anticipation and hype, with no bad matches and some particular highlights - my overall favorite match was Okada vs Scurll, while I also greatly enjoyed Omega vs Pentagon, and the old-school, big-fight feel of the NWA Title Match (as well as Cody's emotional victory). The women's four-way was also very solid and the battle royal on the pre-show was one of the most well-put-together and flat-out-fun battle royals I've seen in years. Sure, there are a few nitpicks - the main event was somewhat rushed due to prior matches going long (though would more time really have improved a match with competitors that thrive on a breakneck pace? ); the nostalgic elements of Lethal-Flip, while fun during Lethal's entrance, was perhaps a bit overdone during the match, and the two didn't really "click, "; some of the risks in Hangman vs Janela were unnecessary - but overall this was a must-see for serious wrestling fans. The main importance and legacy of the show, though, I think is less anything on the card itself and more what the whole of it represents - talent taking it upon themselves to pull together representatives of numerous organizations (ROH, NJPW, Impact, PWG, the NWA, HOH, etc. ) and put on a show dedicated to the fans before an audience that rivals in size many events presented by the "big league. " This proved that there is a viable audience for an alternative wrestling product, and along with the ROH/NJPW sellout of MSG, is a shot across the bow of the WWE machine."

[10.0] "This show was definitely a huge success from both financial and quality of work standpoints. The crowd got what they want and they were energetic in the entire show - one of the best crowds of the year. The stories built in BTE pay off well, too. Every match felt different and fresh. Hard to choose MOTN and I would go to Okada/Scurll but omega/penta, the main, street fight and cody match were also good choices. Opener was a nice little match- good way to kick off the show. Amell worked his ass off and daniels managed to carry him to a pretty entertaining match with good reaction from the fans. 4 way was also very nice with some cool spots and again crowd was into it. I love this show especially this crowd. One of the best shows of 2018 although there were nothing close to 5 stars MOTYC. I enjoy this very much."

[10.0] "They give the crowd what they want. What else do you want to say about this amazing show? It's all start with a challenge (sort of) by Meltzer who say that ROH or any US indie promotion can't sell 10. 000 seat. cody and Young Bucks take this as a challenge and they give 100% of their body and mind for this show. The storyline of BTE is payoff. They bring multiple big name to this show and all participants inside and outside the ring is excellent."

[10.0] "You just aren't going to see a more important wrestling show this decade. There weren't any 5-star, 45 minute matches, just a shitload of wrestlers getting to showcase their talent on a stage in the US that they otherwise likely wouldn't get a chance to. Seeing Joey Janela tear it up in front of 10, 000 was just unreal for me. Every match on this show delivered for me. The only real disappointment was the main event, for obvious reasons if you watched the live show."

[6.0] "Cross/MJF was a nice opener - impressive performances by both men (***), Daniels/Amell is kind of hard to rate, but I thought for the usual celebrity-does-wrestling -standards, he (once again) did very well (**), the women's 4-way wasn't very good, very awkward pacing & structure for the most part, but it got pretty good by the end (**), Cody/Aldis gets the MOTN honors from me; loved all the pageantry, and Cody winning the title was a true feel good moment (***1/2), Hangman/Janela sure had some nutty spots & bumps - The Bad Boy is a bonafide madman! Good match & ridiculous (in a good way) post-match (***), Lethal/Flip was the worst match of the night - at first seeing the Black Machismo back was fun, but as the match went on, the shtick got old real quick & Flip sure was awful in the whole thing (*1/2), Omega/Pentagon felt like a house show Kenny Omega match w/ them playing their "greatest hits" & very much relying on their names - it certainly wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good either (**1/2), Okada/Scurll had some dullness in the beginning stages, but overall it was a good match w/ some good storytelling (***), the main event trios match suffered a bit because of them rushing through it, but it also helped it a bit w/ giving it a nice sense of urgency - very good match overall (***1/2). Overall ALL IN sure was quite the monumental show, to say the least. Not the best as far as the quality of matches go, but something that I very much enjoyed watching fully. Good atmosphere, energy & vibe. Pretty good show."

[9.0] "Page/Janela: ****1/8. Jesus Christ. Janela is insane. He really is a mix of Mick Foley & some Kevin Owens. He's crazy enough to take all the stuff he took in this. I really hope he's ok. I don't watch BTE, so I found alot of references in this match very silly. Nothing short of a great match here. Omega/Penta: ****1/4. Very great match. Post match was what it was. Okada/Marty: ****. The people who think Marty isn't good are dumb. This match proved it. Main event: ***3/4. The fact this was cut for time makes me so sad. That's what happens when everyone down the card wants to get all their sh*t in in every match. Oh well. Excellent show,"

[9.0] "Good show. Aldis vs Cody ***1/2 / Page vs Janela **** / Omega vs Pentagon ****1/2 / Okada vs Scurll ****1/4 / Main Event ****1/4."

[7.0] "Cody vs. Nick Aldis - There were some people who really hated this match; I don't see why, although I didn't get a lot out of this one from its ring-work, and the booking was somewhat messy. [***] // Jay Lethal vs. Flip Gordon - Standard match, nothing to blowaway, but fun moments w/ Machismo. [***] // Kenny Omega vs. Penta El Zero M - This was actually my first time seeing Pentagon, and I felt that this needed to deliver. It did, yet I feel Pentagon fell a bit short of the hype. Omega wasn't flawless here either (selling). [****] // Kazuchika Okada vs. Marty Scurll - This did go longer than needed, but great spots that played to Scurll's underdog status. [****] // Golden Elite vs Bandido, Rey Fenix & Rey Mysterio - This was the fastest, most intense spotfest I think I've seen as of this writing. It's a real shame they ran so short on time. [****] /// Overall: giving a rating later. It's undeniable that recency bias, the crowd atmosphere and the novelty of it all is going to color everyone's thoughts. I have my criticisms and I rarely hold punches. Yet, even if it's been said a million times, it needs to be said: it's great that this event exists, it benefits both the business and the fans in so many ways. So all the stick-in-the-mud closed-minded fans who are somehow upset by this event need to give it a rest, and criticize it for the right reasons (if they even bothered to watch). The presentation was top-notch for an 'indie' style event, there were glitches and some botches but nothing major. I'm not into Joey Ryan's work at all, and while it was fun in a wrestling context + for BTE fans, I can guarantee the average person/casual fan will roll their eyes off their socket seeing what happened here. Some matches went too long and one too short because of it. But regardless of All In's flaws, there's still so much from this event that the hardcore wrestling fan should be able to appreciate."

[8.0] "My biggest compliment for this event isn't in the matches that were involved - although those are at very least noteworthy in my opinion - but how this will help indy wrestlers, shows, promotions, and the entire landscape afterwards. This was nothing less than huge. This shows that there is a large audience hungering for a non-WWE product. This is the start of a shift in the dynamics in pro-wrestling. Everyone involved - especially Cody and the Young Bucks, should be proud of themselves."

[10.0] "Opener *** Arrow v Angel *** Women ***3/4 NWA title ***1/4 Street fight ***3/4 ROH title ***1/4 Kenny v Penta ****1/4 Okada v Marty ****1/2 Main event NR for sure entertaining, just not my kind of match. Wrestling-wise we have seen better shows this year, but this is PEAK sport entertainment top to bottom and wrestling is almost secondary."

[7.0] "Thought Zero Hour was fun, very enjoyable and did well to hype the show. The main show was a mixed bag. Didn't like anything uptil Lethal match. The opener was a nothing match. The 4-Way was okay but highly forgettable. Cody vs Aldis was a great moment but the match was so boring and I wasn't interested at all until Cody won. It was a typical WWE style match, not what I want from a show like this. Hangman Page vs Joey Janela was good for the first half but then it turned into an awful one by the end. A burning hammer on the ladder only to do 10 minutes worth of more spots? No thanks. Janela has a great character by man, he is so underwhelming in the ring. Not a fan of Flip but Lethal as a Savage cosplay was really enjoyable. Omega vs Pentagon was good. Slightly overbooked with the big moves - it got a bit much by the end but still a really good match. Crowd was hot for it. The Jericho bit was fine. You could see it was Jericho from the beginning and Jericho wrestling in 2018 simply doesn't peak my interest all that much. Okada vs Scrull became a real good match by the end but it took way too long to get to the peak of the match. Sure the time for the main event was cut short but there was no need for the main event to go near 30 minutes so I'm g;ad they went balls to the walls instead."

[10.0] "While there have been better shows this year from a wrestling standpoint, this may beat them all out from an entertainment standpoint. Awesome show that lived up and then some. Felt like a big arena PWG. MJF vs Cross was nothing special but a good opener. MJF looked great ***1/4. Daniels vs Amell was really fun. Amell obviously is really green but he worked hard here and they worked around his weaknesses well ***1/2. Women's 4 way was really good. Didn't expect that to be as good as it was ***1/2. Cody vs Aldis was well worked. Very old school style match but had amazing presentation. Fun stuff at great win for Cody ***1/2. Page vs Janela was crazy. Guys went all out with some crazy soits and an insane end ****. Joey Ryan returning was great. Lethal vs Flip was fun. Nothing special but a fun match ***1/4. Omega vs Penta was awesome as expected. These guys brought it to each other and delivered something special ****1/2. Scurll vs Okada was awesome as well. Just fantastic wrestling. Great build up to a thrilling final minutes. Amazing stuff ****1/2. Golden Elite vs Lucha Team was insane. They were rushed for time but damn if they didn't make it work. Probably would've been even crazier with full time but for what they got they delivered. Awesome cap off to the show ****1/4. One of the most fun events ever honestly. Had that same feel that Takeover Brooklyn brought."

[9.0] "Very Entertaining show here. Opener was pretty trash but I think if was a placeholder just in case there were streaming issues. *3/4 Amell Vs Daniels was probably the best celebrity wrestling match ever. ***1/2 Womens 4 way was fantastic the botches didnt bother me as much as it did some others ****1/4 Cody vs Aldis was very old school which I really liked and the story telling was fantastic even if the in ring was just good ***3/4 Joev Janela vs Hangman Page was great and brutal ****1/4 Lethal vs Flip was solid but I think without Machismo it could have been much better ***1/4 Omega vs Penta was brutal with the piledrivers and a fantastic bout but I think with a little more time they could put on something even better. ****1/4 Okada vs Scurll was MOTN very NJPW style match here, which was to be expected. That kickout by Okada is one of the closest counts I have ever seen. ****1/2 The 6 man was a lot of fun, wish they got more time but it was still great fun ****1/4"

[7.0] "Averaging out the ratings I'd give to all the matches would make this show a 6. 15 but it's clearly the start of something big happening in wrestling so I'm open to generously rounding that up. Save for the last 3 matches everything was okay to good, nothing special, and a bit too modern American pandering indie style for me. Last three matches were all great in their own ways but the main event was incredibly rushed because they gave too much time to Cody and people in cock costumes."

[7.0] "Show was definitely for a set audience but I'd be lying if I said it was an outright bad show. Crowd was hot all night and made many matches better than they should have been. Outside of the main event nothing was really worth watching in-ring wise but if you're super into BTE and everything BC I cant see how you couldn't love this show. Only negatives for me were some matches going to long and Pentagon/Omega being phoned in until the last 5 min. Outside of that this was an average show that didn't drag"
