[7.0] "Sacrifice ended up being a mixed bag for me. There was plenty of good wrestling, but nothing truly stood out as must-see, which is a shame for a TNA event between the bigger shows. Most of the card (7 of 9 matches) hovered between 8.5 and 13 minutes, which isn't really enough to build a classic. The final two matches were longer but still only 17 minutes each, and that's a recurring pacing issue for TNA. The ladder match was a lot of fun, while Blanchard vs. Lee and Ali vs. Santana were the strongest of the no-stipulation bouts. That said, the ending of Ali vs. Santana soured the match slightly, though it may tie into the story as Santana immediately gets a rematch on this week's Impact. Both women's title matches fell flat for me, and the Tag Title match was silly and unnecessary. Hopefully Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend can change that soon. The cage match was very safe, but it delivered a strong payoff with Nic Nemeth's heel turn; something I'm excited to see play out over the next few months, likely giving Ryan more mic time in the process."

[6.0] "Decent enough show throughout with a couple of worthwhile moments, notably the Santana-Ali match, which was easily best of the night. Elsewhere, there was a solid opening brawl with Warner and Callihan, some decent bouts in the six-man, Blanchard vs Lee, Maclin vs Kazarian, Slamovich vs Jade and Moose vs J. Hardy. The Women's Tag Title match was the weakest in terms of in-ring action but the Personal Concierge did some fun comedy stuff in it. The main event was an OK tag bout, but the lineup seemed a bit random (Matt Hardy but not Jeff, since he was in the X Title match earlier; Elias and the Colons having just shown up at the previous tapings and already being in a PPV main event, etc.) and other than the simple fact that it was in a cage, felt more like a TV main than a PPV (this was definitively a B-level PPV, but still). A show with nothing really bad on it, but for which only one match (Santana-Ali) really stands out in retrospect. 5.5 rounded up."

[5.0] "Maclin vs Kazarian is a weekly show at the same time. They should have put in a stipulation to make it a bit interesting. I don't really see where they're going with Kazarian, who often loses and doesn't win his feuds either. He's still got a title shot. Ending the show with Nic and Ryan Nemeth beating the shit out of Matt Hardy isn't crazy, if anything they were beating the shit out of Joe Hendry, which made more sense. Now, not only do they win, but there's no storyline with the Hardys to justify it. We're going to have this feud for the titles when we've got Fir$t Cla$$ who are very good heels and deserve to have a reign. Now that Jade's out of the way, we can take on Slamovich/Blanchard. It'll be a much better match. I don't know what the rematch between Ali and Santana will be like, but we could end up with a 3-way with Hendry for Rebellion, which would be a good match."

[7.0] "My second TNA PPV (it's a PPV, right? ) ever. Honestly, except a few matches, the card looked rather dull, but the few matches that looked promising and which I was excited for exceeded my expectations. 1) The Street Fight felt like the most gruesome wrestling match I've ever seen, especially the moment with the paper cuts during which I was literally covering my eyes and cringing inside. In hindsight though, nothing crazy or dangerous was actually performed (not a single drop of blood was even shed), showing the professionalism of these two wrestlers and highlighting their ability to extract the maximum "return on investment". 2) Sure, I remember Santana from AEW, but in TNA he's a completely different beast. He really looks like a top guy in TNA, and his in-ring performance last night only proved that. I don't know if it's his usual style or not, but in his match against Mustafa he was the king of counter-attacks - they all looked smooth as fuck. 3) That's the Jeff Hardy we all wanted to see in AEW! Sure, there were two or three great singles matches close to the end of his run there, but I don't think we saw a singles PPV match with Jeff Hardy in AEW. At Sacrifice Jeff reminded everyone why he deserves all the spotlight there is. I'm just happy that TNA treats the Hardy brothers with the respect they deserve. 4) I swear to God, I smelt that heel turn in the main-event from a mile away. I mean, what else there was left for Nic to do in TNA as a babyface? It was the perfect time and the perfect place to pull the trigger. As expected, the match itself was mediocre at best though."

[5.0] "Average show. That main event for me was just so... ugh. Why are they facing 5 jobbers in a steel cage match in the main event? Other than that, the other negatives for me were the Knockouts tag title match and Cora Jade's performance. Best match on the show was Mustafa Ali vs Santana, which was great."

[7.0] "Fun, enjoyable show. It's not going to blow you away, but it was all inoffensive and, more often than not, good. Crowd was great and TNA continues to do well using its over wrestlers effectively. The Hardys have completely rehabbed -- pun not intended -- themselves after that rotten AEW run. I will continue to admit how wrong I was about Matt and Jeff joining this company. It's been a massive positive."

[8.0] "Mike Santana is your new Josh Alexander in that he can and should be the main serious babyface. He and Ali had the best match of the night, and although Joe Hendry and the Hardys are over like rover and at the top of the card (as they should be), I think Santana is on a slow burn-long term story where he wins the title at maybe Genesis next year. The double main events were cool; like I said, the Hardys and Hendry are mad over, but I also think TNA does great gimmick matches"

[7.0] "Another fun show from TNA. I like that women's match was supposed to open but Callihan and Warner brawled their way to the ring and started instead. Every match was at least decent but most of them were really good - my favorite was definitely Blanchard vs. Lee, also l liked the ladder match and the ending to Ali vs. Santana was very unsatisfying (at least they are getting the rematch on impact) The main event was good but i couldn't get invested, Leon did great job (he's gonna be big in the future) The heel turn of the Nemeth brothers was unexpected but it felt fresh and i can't wait for their match against the Hardys, also MetaGirls crossed the line after ko tag team title match so clearly both of the tag team champions are already having their Rebellion opponents (i hope TNA won't mess up the build up to both) Overall i was expecting a little more from this show but still i'm satisfied with what i got."

[6.0] "Pretty average show with a lot of mediocre matches and some decently good. Just didn't really do anything for me and the main was (besides the nemeth turn) pretty underwhelming and a bit predictable"
