[8.0] "Very solid 'Rana this year, basically every match delivered. The two main events are both high-energy, emotional matches that are very lore heavy, so casual fans might not get the full effect - but the regular watchers are treated to some bangers. maybe the best match that either Waller or Mathers has ever had, which is saying a ton. opening match is an absolute banger, I definitely saw a title change coming but I figured it would be Mason/Slade. Mance and Bobby had a classic Mance match, on the intense side for Beyond. as long and emotional as the main event was, an IWTV title match should've been the main event imo. Gresham never has bad matches and Conway got to prove that he's actually Great. Main downside is that, counting the pre-show, we've got 14 matches and nearly 5 hours here - way too much. Thatcher/Jack and Steph/Mimi were great but could've happened on Open just for time's sake. also, despite all the big names, it felt weird to do Rana 26 without Bear, Gabby, Kylie and Livyah. Not Beyond's fault, I know at least Bear and Gabby had Impact priorities, but there was a hole there without them. Still, great show, bangers top to bottom."
