[8.0] "A really solid show that has become sorta the norm for Cage of Death events. Some highlights include Thumbtack Jack vs. Nick Gage, Sami Callihan vs. Danny Havoc, the 4 way match with Jon Moxley, and the 4 way tag match. The rest of the matches were solid but not at the level that the other matches were."

[6.0] "If you take out the opener and main event, this was a pretty middle of the road show. The main event is worth watching and easy match of the night for me."

[9.0] "The opener was excellent and very brutal! The crowd was so into it. This is definitely my favorite No Ropes Barbed Wire match I have ever seen! (****3/4). DJ Hyde and Nate Hatered had a good brawl but the total seen of the match was very chaotic (DUD). The 4-Way tag team match was pretty fun (**3/4). Drew Blood vs. Greg Excellent (**1/4). The 4-Way #1 contender match for the CZW World Title (**1/2). BLKOUT vs. The Best was okay (**). Drake Younger vs. Devon Moore for the CZW World Title was a pretty good title match (***). Danny Havoc vs. Sami Callihan was just awesome! What a match (****1/2). Overall a amzing events!"

[5.0] "The opener really wasn't that good, starting with tons of stalling, and while the sudden and furious escalation of violence captivated the crowd, there is a sense here that Nick Gage is truly reckless and do not care about injuring others, starting to walk down the line that would lead him to prison a year later. Hyde/Hatred was mostly an uninspired brawl in the crowd, a transparent time filler to repair the ring, incorporated way too much needless interference and featured a truly stupid ending where DJ Hyde desperately and very poorly emulates John Zandig. The 4-Way Tag Team Scramble was a wild and fun spotfest, a truly cool match that probably should have opened the show and sets up a big title match for later in the night. Excellent/Blood was a very weak and disjointed title match, completing the absolutely miserable year for that championship title with a terrible joke of a finish, but at least it would regain its prestige soon afterwards. The 4-Way Match was fast, but honestly felt rather mundane for the talent pool it had and rather underdelivered. BLKOUT/Best was a great battle that took another level when ladders where introduced and produced amazing highspots that made for a very memorable match, yet managed to leave space for an ultimate blow-off on the next show. Drake/Moore was very average and Devon Moore is woefully inadequate for his main event spot. Callihan/Havoc was a very successful Cage Of Death main event, with two lower-tiered deathmatch wrestlers proving their worth by having an impressive match with emotions and spectacular hardcore spots, cementing Sami Callihan as a main event player going forward. The show massively underdelivered and feels terribly mundane with some of the worst and most damaging matches of the year, but fantastic performances by BLKOUT in two great and different matches, as well as a fantastic Cage Of Death main event made sure this show had enough quality memorable wrestling to leave behind a decent impression."
