[9.0] "This is the first Best of the Best I've watched in full and damn. This shit is awesome. Everyone in this tournament were on their A game. Super Dragon and Kevin Steen had some great matches. Plus a cameo appearance from DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling's John Blud (the dude front row in the Chris Hero shirt)."

[10.0] "I could write more than 5000 characters on this wonderful event, but the short of it is that it is an extraordinary show, with almost all matches being good to excellent, a high competitive level that picks the best of wrestling around the country, outstanding performances from guys like El Generico, Kevin Steen, Claudio Castagnoli and Mike Quackenbush, and a wonderful conclusion with the most deserving winner getting his emotional catharsis, one of the best indy wrestling tournaments of all time."

[7.0] "1. Dragon/Bosh: *** Œ (great opener. Dragon is a huge guilty pleasure of mine) 2. Generico/Excalibur: ** œ (solid, well wrestled. ) 3. Hero/Thomaselli: ** (unremarkable. Hero during this time is an acquired taste to put it lightly) 4. Steen/Kenny: ** œ (Just, ya know, a good match. ) 5. Quack/Cannon: *** (Quack's wrestling style can get very awkward but these guys wrestled each other enough to be able to pull out a pretty good match) 6. Claudio/Frazier: ** Ÿ (Claudio's matches at this point could get kinda rough but this was a surprisingly very good match) 7. B-Boy/Sabian: *** (Sabian and Ruckus are two weird wrestlers to me. Their styles are so unrealistic at points yet they still manage to put together entertaining matches. ) 8. Ebessan/Webb: ** Œ (Not as funny as I would have hoped. Wacky finish that is resolved later in the night) 9. Dragon/Generico: *** œ (Fucking great. Dragon beating the shit out of Generico, yet Generico continuing to survive, is just the best. ) 10. Steen/Hero: ** Ÿ (These guys had way better matches in the years to come, but this was totally okay) 11. Quack/Castagnoli: ** Ÿ (Far from their best match, but still very creative. Sometimes wacky, but eh. It's expected with that wacky CHIKARA style) 12. B-Boy/Ebessan: ** Œ (Eh. Totally average match) 13. H8 Club/Hyde&Klein: ** Ÿ (Fun brawl with too many unprotected chair shots for no reason, though Justice Pain does get to enjoy the most fun form of assault with a chair in the history of wrestling. Must be seen. Nick Gage fucked-up their finish here though) 14. Eddy and Webb/Ruckus and Kingston: *** (good match that told a good story. Insane tiltawhirl backbreaker onto the top turnbuckle from Ruckus onto Eddy. Move of the night arguably) 15. Quack/B-Boy/Steen/Dragon: **** (Just a well wrestled match that I enjoyed, maybe only needed to have the order of eliminations shifted around) Overall, Very very long but filled with good to really good matches and ending with one great match."

Kenny The Bastard vs. Kevin Steen surprisingly wasnt too bad. **1/2. Arik Cannon vs. Mike Quackenbush was alright. **1/2. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Derek Frazier was good. ***. B-Boy vs. Sabian was good. ***. Ebessan vs. Nate Webb was alright. **1/2. El Generico vs. Super Dragon was a good hard hitting match. ***1/4. Chris Hero vs. Kevin Steen was alright. **. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Mike Quackenbush was pretty good. ***1/4. B-Boy vs. Ebessan was ok. **. Justice Pain & Nick Gage (c) vs. DJ Hyde & Toby Klein was quite boring and was too long. *3/4. Eddie Kingston & Ruckus vs. Nate Webb & Sexxxy Eddy was alright. There was a gnarly spot where Ruckus hit a tilt whirl back breaker on the turnbuckle. **1/2. B-Boy vs. Kevin Steen vs. Mike Quackenbush vs. Super Dragon was ok, but was a little slow at times and went on for too long. **1/2. Overall was an alright show but was quite long."
