[6.0] "Starr/MJF was a horrible title match, relegated to a short screwy opener as the championship has hit an historic low level. Silver/Drago was amazing, a truly special undercard treat, but criminally short. Blackwater/Jordan was again short and dirty, the Wired TV title being very fuzzy currently, but I must note that I loved the finish. Gary/Parnell was a bland match that does show chemistry and big efforts but lacks context in the combat zone to be meaningful. Mitch/Claxton was too bloody and over-the-top for such a low undercard feud, feeling very pretentious. Gacy/Desean was dynamic and exciting, Joe Gacy's best match in years thanks to the amazing Desean Pratt, even with awful ending. BLKOUT/Dumb was a cool spotfest that had fun in spades in a compact package, but again interference marred the ending, with at least the merit of setting up exciting contests for the end of the year. Rickey/Mance was fine, using violence well with a palpable sense of urgency and escalation that peaked on a good climax to build a solid challenger at Cage Of Death, overall a decent mean to an end. The show is uneven and repeatedly shafted their best matchups for time or without a proper finish, but it remained decently enjoyable and gave some pretty nifty build towards the end of the year, so you cannot say this wasn't a good serviceable event with noteworthy moments happening."

[8.0] "A decent and entertaining show that had its ups and downs but ended up as a very fine wrestling show. They open with the CZW World Championship, and what is probably the most highly anticipated match of the show falls flat. It feels rushed and the finish doesn't work. It is followed by Drago vs Silver, another highly-anticipated match that just doesn't connect and feels rushed. The show is off to a bit of a rough start, but this is where it picks up. Jordon Oliver and Blackwater put on each other's best match for the CZW Wired Championship. Gary Jay and Jake Parnell hits a home run and beats each other to the pulp. Speaking of home runs, Mitch Vallen and Conor Claxton has a great match to what seems to be a closer for this very fun feud. Was the bat supposed to explode there? Good to see Desean Pratt / Amasis back in CZW and he has a nice little match with his old dance partner Joe Gacy before Alex Reynolds interferes. A six-man tag happens? Before Valentina Vazquez gets put through a flipping table via power bomb. wow. The main event just ruled. Just ruled. RSP and Mancer tears the house down. My god. Overall, a weird show where what seemed to be a weak undercard delivers while the two top matches falls flat."

[7.0] "Quite decent & entertaining show that on the other hand suffered from inconsistencies and bad finishes. Still much better show than DWTS or "Business As Usual". The performers mostly succeeded and couple of matches really delivered but the booking/creative failed on many aspects. MJF vs Starr (**) Big match anticipated as the ME ended up being a rushed opener with a terrible finish. Scheduling issues apparently forced Starr to leave early. (I guess this show was not important enough for him) The finish was a big fail and responsibility still lies with the booking. John Silver vs Drago (**Ÿ) DragoŽs debut is a breath of fresh air in CZW. Silver active with his striking game and Drago impresses with his look and movements. Sadly the match was very short. Shorter than i expected and it wasnŽt able to really connect with the crowd on any deeper level. Jordan Oliver vs Blackwater (**Ÿ) Wired title has gone through some rough times recently. This match was booked so Blackwater could drop the belt to Oliver. It was OKŽish and had some nice story elements. The crowd was not very much in to it though, especially at the finish. Gary Jay vs Jake Parnell (***) Hard hitting as F*ck. They tore each other apart. The fight dynamic was there but they still need a lot more polishing and need to learn in ring psychology. Mitch Vallen vs Conor Claxton (***) A nice little wrecking match for this heated feud. Good spots with light tubes. Its a shame it had such anticlimactic finish. Desean Pratt vs Joe Gacy (***) Just a very good basic match. Story finish kicks in and sets up a match for possibly COD. BLKOUT vs. YDNB (*œ) There was some dynamic between the teams until the REP intervenes. The match ended before it could even fully start. RSP vs Mance Warner (***œ) Wow. Nice deathmatch battle for the 1st contender. Good core structure build around 3-4 bigger spots. Enough intensity and content. At times it was dragging a bit, but overall very pleasing main event."

[6.0] "Decent show overall, but one that leaned more towards story line development rather than in-ring action. The World title opening up the show did not feel all that right, considering I was expecting a bit more of a competition rather than a (roughly) 10 minute match. Some of the matches did not live up to the hype, as they felt rushed and sacrificed in order to continue the stories leading to Cage of Death. Highlights were the Homerun Derby match and the main event; everything else was just average at best. Its a shame that two matches ended in no contests, but like I said before, sacrifice. Also, Jordan Oliver winning came as a shock. The Wired title seems to be getting the hot potato treatment. A positive point is that the show did not feel heavy, and was easy to watch."
