[5.0] "The show never really kicks out of second gear to be honest, which is a shame as there's plenty of potential here. The first couple of matches before the tournament were not needed and added very little. Trent Acid was an unpopular winner of the tournament. As for the final angle on the show, it's shocking, to say the least, but it drags on and the crowd start to lose focus just before the hanging on the meat hooks"
[4.0] "Bei dem Event ging es im Großen und Ganzen darum, einen neuen Iron-Man-Champion zu küren. Hierzu wurde ein Turnier veranstaltet, mit einigen interessanten Teilnehmern. Von den Erstrunden-Matches hat mir Sonjay Dutt vs Nick Gage (**) sowie Chris Hero vs Nate Hatred am besten gefallen (**1/4). Ruckus vs Kendo Kashin war am schwächsten, beide harmonieren überhaupt nicht und Kashin wirkt absolut unmotiviert. In den Semis kann vor allem wiederum Chris Hero überzeugen: Sein Match gegen Acid ist das stärkste des Abends, auch wenn letzterer einfach viel zu stark dargestellt wird (**3/4). Das Final gefällt mir eigentlich ganz gut, würde man die Superman-Darstellung von Acid hier nicht komplett auf die Spitze treiben. Dennoch ist das Match auf jeden Fall mehr als solide (**1/4). Danach folgt dann einer der berüchtigtsten CZW-Angle, der einfach komplett unnötig ist!"
[7.0] "The opener was clean, fun and quick, with the absolute right winner. Army/Bruisers was extremely long, boring and repetitive, with the ending feeling merciful, and the postmatch betrayal feeling entirely random. Sonjay/Gage was compact, fluid and mixed their styles expertly to give a great little exhibition match to start the tournament on the right foot. Flash/Kashmere was kinda boring as most Adam Flash's matches are, but Ian Knoxx's involvement livened up his formula a bit and it has the merit of giving Johnny Kashmere a solid victory going into the next round. Rave/Berk was a solid mat-based match that made the best of its short time allocation. Ruckus/Kendo was quite awful due to Kendo's ineptitude constantly getting in the way of Ruckus. Hero/Hatred was a decent battle with a strong style flavor, but the interference was excessive. Acid/Mamaluke was a very fun way to conclude the first round, especially with the awesome finish. The Triple Threat Match had a nice flow, but the action lacked focus. Because of CZW's incompetence, the second round started off crooked with Gage/Matthews, which had no purpose and was very low-quality. Rave/Kendo was just a short fuzzy bout to put Jimmy Rave into the Finals. Acid/Hero felt fairly crisp and even, making for a decent end to the second round. Deranged/Frazier was a nice little match, but felt very out of place. The Finals was fun enough with a nice pace and intricate segments that woved themselves seamlessly through the match, but nepotism push of Trent Acid is awful. The final ''suspended'' angle was disgusting, boring and completely unnecessary. I had high expectations for the show, but time as really not been kind to it. Don't be wrong, there is enough good wrestling to make it an average decent show, but the booking falls off the rails severely, the non-tournament matches feels hollow, the many bad decisions are baffling and frustrating and the horrendous final angle kills the show out of sheer idiocy."
[1.0] "Was für ein langweiliges Tunier mit vielen schlechten Leistungen und einem wie üblich in den USA verschlafenen Kendo KaShin. Eine echte Schande. Zwei gute Matches - und huch, an beiden ist Hero beteiligt. Gegen Hatred das zweitbeste Match der Show (**1/4) und gegen Acid das beste Match der Show (**1/2)."
