[6.0] "i found this one decent and enjoyable, definitely better than the amc premiere and the ple genesis, the only part i didn't like was the match with the elegance team."

[6.0] "I really wasn't all that impressed with this show. The in-ring work for all 4 matches was just simply OK. The Feast or Fired match could've been better if it was longer in my opinion. The other 3 matches just seemed like random bookings also. Like the Indi Hartwell and M by Elegance match was made because Indi stepped on her toe? Really? That being said, there were some cool spots on all of the matches, so again, it was all just OK. The System heel turn is what saved this for me. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out."

"This was a massive improvement over their debut show - but there were still a few production issues that they need to iron out. (Music over back stage promos meaning you can't hear what is being said for example). The wrestling/non-wrestling content was much more balanced and the show better paced. My main criticism is that with most of the roster consisting of relatively unknown names, they need to do more to build these characters so that the audience cares about them. Give us some video packages over the next few weeks to introduce the audience to these characters and give them a reason to care. Don't just throw them out there in the ring. Oh, and I've taken an instant dislike to Mr Elegance - he needs to change up his character or go away."

[8.0] "Alot of good that was bogged down by the Elegance brand again. F or F was exactly what F or F should be, controlled chaos. Cedric will always be welcome on my TV no matter who he is facing and as far as Jeff and Mustafa go...probably the match of the night despite 2026 Jeff hardy limitations. Much better than the Premiere you're getting there guys."

[7.0] "The show is coming together faster than expected. Match/segment ratio is improved, important storylines are continued, and some surprises are thrown in for good measure. The crowd was great and into it from start to finish, and the show gave actual reasons to want to tune in to see what happens next,"

[6.0] "The second episode on AMC for TNA and this was better than the premier episode on AMC the week before, The System segment with Bear Bronson being revealed as the newest member and then Moose being kicked out The System was shocking and Cedric Alexander joining was shocking too.  Cedric Alexander vs Moose: Alexander getting the win was a surprise but good to see as this means that Alexander could be getting a push in TNA, Moose did well considering he was obviously still not being 100% after the match at Genesis, overall the match was decent enough [***]. Indi Hartwell vs M By Elegance: Indi winning was kind of obvious, M did okay but overall the match was fine enough, did what it needed to do [**1/2]. Feast Or Fired: It wasn't the best Feast Or Fired match TNA has showcased but was still okay to watch, only had 8 minutes which could have been given a bit more time, the right four won the cases and cannot wait for the reveal of the cases [**3/4]. Jeff Hardy vs Mustafa Ali: A solid main event match, Jeff winning was solid, the Twist Of Fate on the steps was a highlight, an all round enjoyable to view match [***3/4]   "

[6.0] "I initially wasn't going to watch this week after how bad the debut episode was, but today I thought WTH, I'll give it a shot. MUCH better than last week. Better commercial pacing, more wrestling, and everything presented was at least coherent. The Feast or Fired match has a nice hook to it to see who gets fired next week (would be fucked up if its Trey)."

[6.0] "After last week's debacle, I feared the worst when the show began with Carlos Silva cutting a promo - but luckily, that didn't last long. It seems the bookers do know how to set up an episode. We had a good opening match, followed by a nice Santana promo. Feast or Fired was intruiging (with a big return). The rest of the wrestling was average. There were also two Nemeth segments to set up future matches, and of course, the big System twist. I'm not a fan of The System, but they're better as heels and it was a good way to end the episode. It's actually crazy how much better this episode was, compared to the previous one. The sound in some of the backstage stuff wasn't that good, so hopefully they fix that. Overall, a massive step in the right direction."

[5.0] "Too bad this episode wasn't the AMC debut. While it was nothing special it wasn't the absolute shitshow that was the week prior. Carlos Silva needs to stop showing up on TNA television. How in the hell is this dude even more awkward and creepy than Tony Khan? Solid first match, playing off the injury Moose sustained at Genesis, with a bit of foreshadowing for later in the night. The Santana promo was great, my favorite segment of the night by far. TNA have an absolute diamond in Mike Santana and I hope to god they treat him right going forward. Women's match was blehhhh, and the after-match segment was weird and dumb. FOF was a big nothingburger. Just a means to several ends. Gosh, wouldn't this have been a great way to introduce a curious new AMC watcher to multiple unique characters at once? Y'know, before they all got driven off? Trey Miguel is back, and finding himself with a pink slip next week would be the ultimate troll move and I hope TNA actually does it. I haven't seen too much of BDE's stuff but he really doesn't impress me at all. I don't get how a YouTuber is so bad at promos but whatever. Maybe he'll improve. Hopefully he does because otherwise he'll just be known as Temu Logan Paul, which is a fate worse than death. Either way he needs to ditch this job squad he games with if he wants to be taken seriously. The main event (or at least the last match) was... well, it was a Jeff Hardy singles match in 2026. Not bad at all but just kinda there. Jeff can still move around OK for his age but you can tell he's hurting bad. The Hardys should be feuding with the Great Hands (if not retiring) but instead The Righteous (barf) are still hanging around. The System segment was just... I dunno man. The System has just never been interesting to me at all, and replacing JDC and Moose with Bear Bronson and Cedric Alexander (whom I both actually really like) isn't exactly the most inspired thing. Plus there's still Alisha and Myers, who both suck, and Eddie Edwards, who at this point kinda feels like he's just put the car in cruise control for the rest of his career. Moose will probably get the most out of this whole thing, as he should. So yeah, overall a major, major step up from last week but still just emphatically OK. TNA has A LOT of work to do if they truly want to compete for that number-two position in America, and to be quite honest with Delirious and Dreamer at the helm I don't have a lot of faith in them getting there, despite the solid (yet aging rapidly) roster. 5.5 rounded down."

[6.0] "Maybe I'm feeling generous after the nightmare fuel that was last weeks show, but I thought this was solid. Decent matches through out. Some of the backstage and promo segments left a lot to be desired though. Mike Santana being the exception, solid baby face promo."

[9.0] "Great bounce back. Heels ate pretty big here with the Elegance Brand and the new version of the System. All four matches were at least "good" with the opener and main event between "very good" and "excellent". Nic Nemeth was good as a just a jerk."

[7.0] "Thought this was a major improvement from the last two weeks. Actually this is the best show they've given in a long time that wasn't a ppv. Big fan of them actually having matches with decent times given to them. Mike Santanas speech was pretty good! I really liked the ending where Cedric and Bear turned heel and joined the system. Moose being singles star as a result is going to help the company out in the long run for sure. The feast or fired briefcases interest me. I did see who got the world briefcase but who cares. As long as they deliver something worth watching like this weeks show, it'll be fine without the surprise. I liked Nemeth roaming around back stage antagonizing people. He has a match with BDE next week and has made clear Mike Santana is in his sight. I'm pumped for it! Also good to see Trey Miguel back. After hearing what happened, he for sure deserve another chance. He's apologized and grown from it so I was happy to see him."

[5.0] "The second TNA on AMC was night and day better than the first. All they need now are some actual stars cause the roster is looking a little spooky. They need to establish their own identity again instead of relying on someone who doesn't really see them as equals."

[5.0] "Sure this was a better episode but it's really damning with faint praise. They got off to such a bad start with the AMC premiere and Genesis that the only thing that would've been worse is going out of business. From what I saw here, what's going to continue holding them back is being WWE, jr."

[4.0] "This episode of Impact wasn't quite as bad as its debut on AMC last week and the following boring PPV, but the storlines and writing of the show are mind-boggling. Trey Miguel is back after announcing a break from wrestling just few days ago is funny. A lot happened, but mostly not in a good way."

"I'm so happy that Trey is back in TNA because I've always been a fan of his. However, I'm curious about what's in the fourth case. If it's a termination notice, I'm going to complain about whoever came up with that idea! And who designed the system split? Why not design Order 4 instead? Who exactly is writing these storylines?"

"Who decided Trey Miguel returning and The System inviting "Bear Bronson" and Cedric Alexander into the group, kicking out a recently retired JDC, and Moose, were world shaking moments? (also they copied the credits from WWE lol) This past week is the most anyone's ever cared about Miguel since he didn't get signed by WWE."
