[5.0] "I expected a little more level, this Kick Off seemed appropriate to me, good matches, but it lacked more seasoning, a little madness perhaps, but they are non-negligible matches. Happy to see Kenny King as the new champion on Impact and it seems to me that together with Sheldon, something great can be built, good stories, I hope that the rematch with Hendry has a special stipulation."

[7.0] "Good pre show. Two good matches including a title change that few predicted. I do think the DMC matches should be on YT pre shows and not the actual ppvs."

[7.0] "Solid pre-show to get things started. Aside from a disappointing but, potentially understandable main event outcome the two matches really got the crowd going in preparation for the Pay-Per-View."

[2.0] "This was not a great Countdown show to be honest. 6 Person Tag Team Match was fine but not really interesting except the Death Dollz and Jody Threat won, but should have been on Impact on AXS not a PPV Countdown show (*1/2). Digital Media Title Match: The worst Digital Media Title match since the title was created, Kenny King should not have won as he didnt really wrestle, he mainly went outside the ring and got Sheldon Jean to distract Joe Hendry so he could cheat to win (1/2*)"

[6.0] "Good pre-show/countdown/kick off with a title change! An important one so, good when this is the case. 6.5."
