[9.0] "A nearly perfect show if wasn't for old man Scramble. Love the idea, painfully executed. Best match of the night was definitely Atticus vs. Fuego, complete barn burner that match was. The main event was the obvious attraction and it was brutal, Sabu will always be the man. He wore his best suit to his final match."

[5.0] "A very inconsistent show which was to be expected. You get two bloodbaths that were fantastic in Cogar/Del Sol and Warner/Kidd and you get two shit show bloodbaths in Tremnont/Suzuki and Janela/Sabu. As for the rest of the card it was all quite serviceable considering the talent on the card. I expected a lot more from the title matches and especially was quite underwhelmed by ZSJ/Manders. Still a fun watch that caters to all needs even if the quality is a bit all over the place"

[7.0] "There were some standout matches on this card Fuego vs Atticus, Bayne vs Bozilla, Kidd vs Warner, Sabu vs Janela. Alec Price & Jordan Oliver vs Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku: Did not feel like an actual match, rather felt like an angle that was shortly timed which was good, the action was uninspiring and the title change was decent enough [*3/4]. Dr Wagner Jr, El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr & Galeno Del Mal vs Arez, Gringo Loco & Jack Cartwheel: While it was a fun trios match featuring these six wrestlers, it may have gone on time wise longer than it needed to especially on a card like this one, the action was fun to watch even if it did drag on due to going almost 18 minutes [***1/4]. Megan Bayne vs Bozilla: A women's Hoss Fight that was actually quite decent from bell to bell, both tried to show they could out power the other, the tombstone towards the end was quite surprising [***1/2]. Zack Sabre Jr vs 1 Called Manders: Considering who was in this match, the quality was disappointing here, it was too short timed and the action was okay at best, not what they are capable of, but on a stacked card like this what could you expect [**]. Atticus Cogar vs Fuego Del Sol: One of my favourite matches of the whole The Collective, from the action in the match being what you would expect from GCW and someone like Cogar which was brutal, to the post match with Fuego leaving his boots in the ring and walking away potentially teasing retirement [****1/4]. Matt Tremont vs Minoru Suzuki: The match was violent, they had an okay open ended match that ended with a no contest following Suzuki attacking the referee with a Gotch Style Piledriver which should never have happened, they continued to fight even when being pulled apart by referees [**]. Masha Slamovich vs Suzu Suzuki: A fine match, they had little chemistry though which led to the action not being that interesting, one of the weaker defenses of the JCW World Title for Masha [**]. Gabe Kidd vs Mance Warner: It was violent as you expect, these two had a better match here than their previous match at Jersey J-Cup Day 2, having a definitive winner was the right call with Kidd getting the win here [***3/4]. Damian 666 vs George South vs Mike Jackson vs Ricky Morton vs Robert Gibson vs Kerry Morton: A terrible match featuring old aged wrestlers that just should not have been on this card, Kerry Morton coming out and getting involved was okay at first with the promo he gave and the "match" ended in a bizarre way [*]. Sabu vs Joey Janela: A crazy match to end the career of Sabu, he took some seriously crazy bumps especially at his age of him being 60 years old, The Sandman appearing was cool, The Cogar Brothers appearing was okay, the match was quite well worked considering the stipulation [****]"

"All thin considered the main event wasn't even bad. The right amount of dumb spots one expects, I've seen worse in events with way more people and bigger stars"

[7.0] "The best looking card of the Mania Week, this Joey Janela's Spring Break show delivered big time, it was very fun, the matches weren't so sharp in terms of technicality, but that's GCW, the hot garbage wrestling that we love, and this show had the true essence of the company, I had a good time without a doubt. The duel of women powerhouses, the mask vs career and Sabu's retirement were the three best matches, but the rest of the show had some really fun things as well, and a lot of different styles, like GCW always do."

[8.0] "I hope they come back to this arena, looked great. top 4 matches are Bayne v Bozilla, Cogar v Del Sol, Kidd v Warner and Sabu v Janela. I just realized that Atticus has been apart of 2 retirements of fan favorites. Fuego and Sabu tonight and when he attacked Sawyer Wreck during her final match. I cant hate him though, I just think Classic Atticus lol very big fan on joey sending off Sabu to retirement."

[10.0] "I thought this was a thoroughly entertaining show with some ignorance low points besides Sabu nearly dying live on Triller. Highlights include Cogar vs Fuego, Bozilla vs Bayne, Kidd vs Mance, the Senior Scramble, and the absolutely INSANE retirement-worthy main event, which may be my favorite Sabu match."

[3.0] "One of the worst shows of the week, but I can't say it's completely devoid of substance. There's decent but nothing special wrestling up and down the card with the Mask vs Career match being the highlight of the show, and then there's a large amount of slop in the latter half. To be specific, the main event is an unprofessional disaster that should get everyone involved blacklisted from the industry. Overall, I came into this show expecting a wacky show as most Spring Break shows tend to be, but there was zero soul in any of these matches."

[7.0] "Pretty good show from GCW here with some pretty good matches but it really only hooked me in with the main event. Violence is Forever got totally squashed for some reason and the ZSJ match vs Manders was surprisingly bad. Suzuki vs Tremont should have had a better finish, the rest was alright. For the Sabu retirement match they definitely did it in a Sabu fashion if you know what I mean. It was pretty well coordinated until Sabu took that bump through the board to the floor. Chaos ensued, loved the surprise appearance of Sandman but Sabu was completely out of it by this point and had no idea what to do. Still an enjoyable show and I'd say a worthy retirement match. Long live Sabu!"

[7.0] "Easily my favorite show of the Collective this year, as usual with these shows it is a mixed bag of great wrestling to a little sloppy, but I mean this in the best possible way. It looked like Sabu was trying to get out of his main event match all the way from an entrance, but boy did they pull of a CLUSTERFUCK of a funny match, it looked like Sabu tryied to quit the match and hug it out early. Match of the night was Kidd vs. Warner which was a bloodbath helped by Warners match with Callihan the night before at TNA. Fuego del Sol possible retirement match was good. My only minor complaint was Suzuki vs Tremont, being very similar to the Butterbean match at the memorial show, what's up with these non-finishes? Anyways, this show was so much fun!"

"Six Man Tag was Great. Women's match was super hard hitting. Not familiar with either Tag Team in the title match but it was still a good match. Manders and Sabre was a good match like we expected it to be. Cogar vs Del Sol was as bloody as you expect a Cogar match to be. I actually think Fuego looks better without the mask. Warner vs Kidd was a bloody massacre. Warner lost so much blood. Sabu vs Janela just okay. Best match of the night was the 6 man tag."

[5.0] "Went in with high expectations due to all the build up, but this show was hit and miss for me. Felt the title change match was too short, and by the time it got going it was over. I'll have to watch it back to see if announcers had more insight, but being there live it felt like Tremont & Suzuki just sort of ended as they left and the clip for the next match started? Again, as I see others saying. ZSJ and Manders was ok, but the soon as you feel it is clicking, it is over. Cogar and Fuego, Bayne and Bozilla, Kidd and Mancer, and trios tag match are the 4 worth a watch."

[9.0] "Best overall GCW show ever. This delivered. Every match had something good about it and 4 matches were really good to downright awesome. The main event has to be seen to be believed as no one expected Sabu in a No Ropes Barbed Wire Deathmatch in 2025. This had something for every single fan of every single type of pro wrestling. If Spring Break is about showcasing what indy wrestling is all about then this event certainly succeeded. Much better than last years event and yes I'll say it again this is probably the best GCW event ever produced. Watch this show! I love you all!"

[8.0] "Really good well balanced show. Something for everyone. Mance Warner v Gabe Kidd was easily my Match of the Night. I didn't love how it finished, but everything else was spectacular. Sabu took some insane bumps and that main event felt like a fever dream. Megan Bayne v Bozilla was fun. As was the Lucha 6 man. Mance Warner squirting blood out of his forehead like a water fountain was spot of the night."

[7.0] "One of (if not) the best spring breaks ever? Quite a few good matches with a main event to rule all main events. That fucking bump Sabu took out on the concrete, so, so crazy. Matches to watch: Wagners vs Desperados, Bayne vs Bozilla, Cogar vs Fuego, Kidd vs Warner and obviously, the main event. Though, if you're going to watch any of the Collective shows in their entirety, this is the one. Thank you Joey, a great variety of matches that remained thoroughly enjoyable throughout. ***3/4."

[9.0] "This is easily best show all weekend. Fuego Del Sol retired in a awsome match against Cogar that had a couple insane spots such as the Brain Trauma off the top rope into a trash can and that gusset plate 2x4. The 6 man tag between The Wagners against Los Desperados was the amazing lucha action you were expecting and beyond delivered. Suzuki had a pre solid dream match against Tremont that I had way too much fun with. Manders and ZSJ was a interesting clash of styles. Bozilla hadda very stong first outing in Amarica against Bayne(though there was a production issue that was easy to ignore but still took some steam away from the match). Gabe Kidd tried his best to kill ole Mancer in a match seriously not for the weak. Mance was shooting blood out his head Sexxxy Eddie style. The senior scramble was some nice good dumb fun. Then jesus fucking wow, where do I start with Sabu and Janela. First things first Sabu came out beyond fucked up. Like Jeff Hardy Victory Road fucked up. In some ways this is ended up being more of a car wreck then that. At points this match made me sad, happy, scared, uncomfortable but in the end it was so dope. I don't think a match has ever overstimulated me this much in years. Sabu gets destroyed with barbedwire before going through more and cracking his skull before the Cogars and fucking Sandman come out to stall for time. Somehow Sabu got up and continued this clusterfuck for longer. Also not trying to take anything away from Joey cus he takes some nasty bumps but like what the fuck, Sabu is like 60 somthing or late 50's. Speaking about old people, Atticus Cogar puts Bill Alfonso through a fucking barbedwire board at one point. Anyways this match was cracked in the best way possible and I think it went better then it had any right to be. This whole show was just insane, one of my favorite GCW shows in quite some time. Hope Mancer and Sabu are okay, both got fucked up quite badly in their matches."

[7.0] "incredible variety show. Gabe Kidd vs Mance Warner was awesome. Masha Slamovich vs Suzu Suzuki was a nice match. Sabu vs Joey Janella was scary at a couple of points but the best disaster. I've not sen much of Kerry Morton but he has a great ring presence and promo delivery and had the arrogance that made me happy to see a bunch of geezer beat his ass. Shout out to Bozilla, I believe this is her first American show and she's been tearing it up in Marigold, and she killed it in her hoss fight with Megan Bayne. Only downside was Suzuki vs Tremont which had a finish on par with Butterbean vs Suzuki."
