[5.0] "Great main-event and surprisingly not that bad opener NWA National Title match but that's all. Listen to Ric Flair to 15 minutes was something but it can't hide that overall this show was very average. The quality of the women matches was a big deception a night only after Empowerr."

[7.0] "Another class and emotional night of wrestling. NWA was 2 for 2 this weekend. Kamille vs. Green was a tremendous outing after both putting great performances the previous night. I somehow gained even more respect for Tim Storm. Not only did he take an insane dive from Crimson off a ladder through a guard rail, but then he came out to do commentary for the rest of show. Tim Storm is hardcore, pass it on. It was lovely seeing Mickie James in action again. She's a true legend and I hope she gets more than 5 minutes to work with in the future. Ric Flair put a tear in my eye and I hope he's actually as happy as he appeared to be. And that main event... Definitely a throwback style but that's the point. It just felt really good rooting for the babyface and hating the heel, how it's supposed to be but simply not how it's done anymore. A great emotional battle from start to finish and it made the NWA Worlds Title feel as prestigious and important as it rightfully should. It's true that nobody hates wrestling more than wrestling fans and I personally have struggled with my loyalty to the art in the last years, but this weekend the NWA really reminded me, and hopefully some of you too, what the good side of professional wrestling looks like."

[5.0] "While the show started off strong with the three way match/Mickie vs. Kylie and the main event being great, everything in between was either bad or average and didn't captivate much of my attention. Ric Flair showing up and talking to the crowd was good emotional moment. Enjoyed the women's show more overall, so I'm rating this one lower."

[8.0] "The show is killer! Ric Flair delivering the goods as well as the matches. And then... Trevor Murdoch!"

[6.0] "A largely watchable yet frustrating 73rd anniversary. The battle royal was the drizzling sh**s with the winner was some talentless hack who left TNA a decade ago. Elsewhere it's a mystery why Billy is still booking that piece of trash Tyrus. Most of the PPV was alright but forgettable. It lacked the passion and fire of EmPowerrr. They only booked one outside talent while Mickie James booked a host of non-NWA women for her PPV. This is laziness on the part of Corgan. Promo by Flair had plenty of nostalgia, so that was a sweet moment. Kamille and Chelsea Green put on a shockingly decent match. It's clear Kamille is getting better. Good tag title match too which got the crowd going again. The main event was very good and completely exceeding my expectations. Told a great story and had a lot of strong ringwork. I forget how capable Aldis is in the ring, it's overshadowed by his boring reign of terror. Murdoch put in a solid performance finally getting the big win. The problem is, how is this going to take NWA forward? It's clear Aldis had to drop the title but against an irrelevant has-been from the 2000s is a poor look. With all the talent across wrestling and the 'forbidden door' no longer an issue, Corgan was betting on the past and not the future of the business with this. Of the non-WWE companies that have some name value among diehard fans, who is going to book Murdoch on their shows?"
