[6.0] "Somehow there was not enough wrestling, only the beginning and the end of the show was bright in this regard and for the most part the show placed accents in backstage segments, which I admit were normal. Somehow I want more energy, and so it's very nice to watch how the emotions I have already forgotten manifest themselves in the company. Everything that I dreamed of seeing in Impact, I get, it is clear that they are working systematically on errors and increasing the quality of the product, this can not but please."

[7.0] "The opener was a great callback to their great rivalry that had its fair share of awesome wrestling caliber and a good dash of storytelling. Despite the faction rivalry falling all over the place, I loved the work from these two. Miguel & Laredo had an entertaining tag match holding the energy up in a squash extender of a tag match. The OVW showcase squash was fine acting as a catalyst for the anticipated debut/return of Killer Kelly and I'm excited for her run here. Alexander had a sparring match against Shera while the main event was a certified badass showcase of physicality at its best. Both men had incredible chemistry executing massive aggression throughout, thereby making KUSHIDA's debut a super solid one. This episode of Impact had a very good range of wrestling showcase as well as good layers of stories built on the road to Emergence and the special's card is shaping up pretty well."

[7.0] "This was my first time watching Impact in a few months but I'm glad to say this show was good. The opener was great and the main event was better. The mid card was average and filler heavy. There was a lot of backstage segments that didn't really impress me Johnny Swinger coming to the ring in a cart was a funny throwback. Though short the OVW display was fun. These two did decent enough. Jada Stone hit a split legged moonsault so that's pretty neat. Tiffany Nieves won though. Tasha Steelz did well on commentary as well. Then Killer Kelly had a badass debut and beat up the OVW wrestlers. This was a Good Impact overall."

[7.0] "Maybe it's just because I'm vibing on wrestling today (watched this in between today's G1 block and waiting for Music City Mayhem to start) but this was a very strong episode. You already know the MOTN, but everything else was good to great. Impact remains my favorite weekly show right now."

[8.0] "I dug this week's ep. KUSHIDA is too too talented to just be a junior. Bring him back for more main event matches, tags with Shelley, trios with the Guns; he and Swann had a hell of a match, and I think KUSHIDA could make a real difference to IMPACT that he doesn't in NJPW. Eddie and Ace was good too, even if this Bullet Club versus Honor No More feud is going nowhere. Killer Kelly looked like her namesake with that debut, and seeing Laredo Kid outside of BTI is always a treat."

[6.0] "Enjoyed the show. Other than wishing they'd book Ace Austin a bit better in terms of winning and losing the whole show was solid. Kushida vs. Rich Swann was my favorite match on the show but the matches between the opener and main event were a little short."

[8.0] "The show is pretty killer, a great main event, a great opener, and everything in between is pretty damned good."
