[6.0] "Really liked the booking for the first two matches. Glad both Anna Jay and Buddy Matthews picked up wins. The crowd certainly enjoyed the third match between QT and an Indy star I never heard of."

[6.0] "Fairly decent pre show. Anna Jay and Deonna was a complete nothing match should have been on either dynamite or collision. Anna is improving and Deonna, just starting a faction, needed something more that what was given. Great multi man match up next, best match on the pre-show, all 4 men had good performances and nice to see Buddy pick up the win. AJ & QT was a load of fun - nothing outstanding wrestling wise but for the pre-show this perfectly did its job. (6/10)"

[6.0] "I don't really watch the talking segments but the matches were decent for a pre show and the Costco thing was a good bit of business all around."

[6.0] "The only time I watched a Zero Hour for AEW and it was for Big Boom AJ cause....he brings the BOOM! Jokes aside this was a decent pre-show! I wasn't expecting much here but it delivered! Deonna Purrazzo vs. Anna Jay was forgettable at best and Deonna honestly should have won considering she now has a faction behind her. The Four-Way was decent but forgettable but the main event! WE BRING THE BOOM! The Rizzler! Big Justice! AJ! and QT Marshall! The match was mediocre but man it was so comedic and entertaining! [***]"

[5.0] "Forgettable Zero-Hour, MOTN was the excting fatal four way while the rest was pretty much skippable. There has been better and here has been worse, having only three matches on the card surely made difficult for the average to be actually any bad. **1/2"

[5.0] "Three matches in this slightly lighter but rather mediocre preshow, apart from the 4-way match. Outside the ring, the arrival of Big Show was welcome, as was the little segement between Mercedes and Kamille, which sowed the seeds of dissension. Finally, the final PPV promo video was excellent, with notes from November Rain. In-ring quality: 2.25/5. Angles and segments: 1.25/3. Bonus/Malus: Nice atmosphere +0.25 / Soulless advertising characters -0.25. Total: 5.5/10. Show on AEW's YouTube channel."

[7.0] "First things first I can't believe I got chills because of the fucking Costco guys. The pop they got was insane. The opening match was fine I thought it was more then enjoyable. The four way was really good and a great way to get the crowd going. Somewhere we get a cool promo with Mercedes and Kamille showing some disconnect between them and a dope November Rain package to hype the main card up to finish the show off"

[8.0] "The first match was just there but the other two were a ton of fun, the best AEW preshow in a long time I think"

[8.0] "This was a pretty good preshow, the 4way was awesome and AJ vs QT was just insanity. Really set a good tone for the ppv"

[5.0] "Nice to see an AEW Zero Hour that wasnt just packed with inconsequential matches. Nice mix of matches and recap. Hauser the mark did my head in though."

[6.0] "Fine pre-show with the highlight obviouslyy being AJ and Big Justice's appearance. Anna Jay vs. Deonna was fine. The four way was fun. It was nice to hear those reaction for Buddy, dude's phenomenal. AJ vs. QT was the best match of the night on the pre-show and, overall, it was a really fun expirence. I had a huge smile on my face throughout the whole thing. It wasn't a great wresting but it did its job in getting reactions out of me and the whole crowd live."

"A fine pre show overall: Anna Jay vs. Deonna Purrazzo was fine for what it was; the 4-way was a pretty good match that alone makes watching the Zero Hour worth it; Big Boom AJ vs. QT Marshall was a lot better than I was expecting, nothing out of this world but they both played to the crowd really well, who in turn reacted loudly to pretty much everything they did. [6/10]"
