"7/10. This was a decent TNA show from several angles, a show full of small victories when you boil it down. ABC got a decent match out of First Class, the 8-Man Tag ran a bit long but was still pretty enjoyable. The Ultimate X was probably the best choice for an opener to help get the fans ready to go. Maclin and Young having a TV match and the Knockouts tag were both pretty mediocre but at least they didn't drag on. The main event won the night, it's two guys that can go the distance and keep you invested, and I can understand why some don't like the finish, but it adds a little bit of uncertainty and mystery into a title reign that (at that point) has so far gotten off to a fairly good start."
[6.0] "This was primarily notable for the Nemeth-Alexander iron man match, which was very good and probably Nemeth's best post-Ziggler match yet; well worth seeking out. The Ultimate X was also pretty good, though not among the more memorable Ultimate X matches, and putting the belt on Wentz felt like it was really just an excuse to get it on WWE TV (even though it wouldn't be defended in the Wentz-Lee match, so wasn't really needed for it). ABC vs First Class was decent, and AJ Francis seems to lately be overperforming a bit on his Top Dolla reputation. The six-woman, eight-man and EY vs Maclin matches were all OK but felt like TV matches, which is somewhat understandable as they had to make sure to have an hour free for the iron man. A decent but somewhat one-match show."
[7.0] "This was a good show. The best match was of course The Iron Man match. I guess Josh Alexander will be out of the title picture again for now. I get why it happened but I wasn't too thrilled with Nick using Alexander's finisher as the finish of the match. The only bad match on the show was the 6 lady tag match. I really think that the injury obviously hurt the flow of the match. It wasn't a bad match just the weak link of the show. I recommend this show."
[9.0] "A lot of good-very good matches on the undercard with a fantastic main event. A couple injuries hurt a pair of matches (PCO, Lish) but those matches were still solid to good. Main event was another great, smart Iron Man match for Alexander and is the first 60 min match I've seen Nemeth in."
[5.0] "This show is a little hard to rate - watching it in the moment was interesting enough, but middle of the card was just perfectly serviceable and wouldn't be something that I'd recommend to any fan that wants to parachute in. Maybe Ultimate X would be interesting for some because it didn't overstay it's welcome, or Hendry/Hardys tag simply because Hendry is pretty over these days. Main Event is not a match for everyone (even the crowd seemed to be very bored in the first third, but they were chanting 'this is awesome' by the end), but overall it told a simple story and when Nemeth won, he looked surprisingly strong."
[7.0] "Solid show with Ultimate X as my match of the night. Liked Alexander-Nemeth, too, but I'm still waiting for Nemeth to separate himself from Dolph Ziggler. Still feels like I'm watching 2024 Ziggler with a 2010 push in TNA. It isn't clicking with me."
[8.0] "Zachary Wentz vs Mike Bailey vs Hammerstone vs Jason Hotch vs Laredo Kid vs Riley Osborne: A decent ultimate x match to get Emergence started, some cool spots and everyone got their moment in [***1/4]. Steve Maclin vs Eric Young: A decent first time ever match, the chemistry was there and the ending was not booked rightly though [**3/4]. Dani Luna, Jody Threat & Jordynne Grace vs Alisha Edwards, Ash By Elegance & Masha Slamovich: Alisha got injured at the start which may have been a factor in the match being short, the match did fall short in standards due to that [**]. Ace Austin & Chris Bey vs AJ Francis & KC Navarro: Navarro had great chemistry with both Austin and Bey, Francis being in the ring the standard did slip as he is not that good, the in ring work was fine [**3/4]. Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, JDC & Moose vs Jeff Hardy, Joe Hendry, Matt Hardy & Mike Santana: This match did go on too long, the action was fine and the ending was not that good [**3/4]. Nic Nemeth vs Josh Alexander: The action was slow at the start but did make sense, the rest of the match was better than I expected it to be, Nemeth retaining was not out of the question and good to see [****1/2]"
[8.0] "Really fun show with a great opener and an amazing main event. This was my first live TNA event and it 100% delivered and I loved basically every bit of it. Really solid show."
[6.0] "A show largely based around the main event which ended up being a very good match (although one I maybe had a bit of higher expectation for.) Pretty good opener with everything in between being pretty solid on the road to Bound For Glory."
