Rounded to 5 for Cagematch."

[8.0] "extremely surprised by the low rating on this show, i really enjoyed this one. might've just been the aura of it being the first show of the week or something but i had a great time. every match felt like a blast. one of my favorite shows from the very long week."

[6.0] "It was an okay show from DEFY, some of the matches did unfortunately fall short in standards, there were a couple of decent matches. Gurv Sihra & Harv Sihra vs Man Like DeReiss & Michael Oku: It should not have gone as long as it did, the action was slow to start, but an okay opening show match [***]. Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos vs MAO & Mike Bailey: Best match on the card to be honest, great tag team action from both teams, solid action from all four, Lykos pinning Bailey was decent to watch [****]. Vert Vixen vs Jazmin Allure vs Trish Adora: Solid three way match, despite the odds that were stacked against her, Vert Vixen did show why she is the women's champion, Allure and Adora proved to be worthy challengers [***]. BMF Battle Royal: A few decent entrants, but there was nothing memorable much in this match, except maybe the ending between Schaff and Galeno Del Mal [**1/2]. C4XKC vs Sovereign vs Team Dragon Gate: While it was a fine multi man tag match, there was not anything memorable that I will remember from the match [**]. KENTA vs Gringo Loco: KENTA resorting to getting the title belt and steel chair involved in this one was not needed, just like the referee bump was not needed, this match could have been fantastic but sadly did not live up to expectations and the standard was just not there [**]."

[5.0] "Okay show from DEFY. Not sure there's anything that you should go out of your way to see and there was some clunky action throughout but for the most part the talent delivered an enjoyable enough show and it was a good showcase for a huge variety of wrestlers."

[5.0] "Probably the weakest show of night one but that's not necessarily a bad thing because the show was pretty solid in its own right. There was nothing wrong with the show except maybe the main event dragged abit but other then that it was a decent and easy early morning watch that kinda flew by. Match of the show has to go to the tag match with Chris Brooke's and Kid Lykos vs The Moonlight Express. Love seeing Speedball and Mao team up. This shows fine but nothing special, not really missing out on much by skipping this one. Great way to kick off the weekend"

[5.0] "It was decent, I don't really like a lot of the people on this card (I find the american indies to be insufferable) but there was a good amount of international talent which made for a fun show. Opener was a **3/4, 4 guys I have no interest in whatsoever and Oku may be one of the most auraless wrestlers ever. CCK vs MX was very fun though, ***1/4, MAO and Mike are always great when they team up and Lykos is good in tag scenarios as they hide his weaknesses. **1/2 on the womens match, all 3 of these girls just aren't very good lol, not much to say it was just boring. BMF battle royal gets a ***, pretty fun but man Schaff looks like a wrestler i'd create when i was 7 lmao, funny guy. threeway tag gets ***3/4. this was super fun, bit bummed ben-k was replaced by kzy but what can you do. fun stuff all around I recommend you check that out. main event gets ***1/2, weirdly motivated kenta and gringo is awesome, very slow match but it's still quite good. show gets a 5/10 overall as it was fun but i suggest cherry picking the good matches"
