[7.0] "Swann/Colon was a cute and dynamic opener, with a bit of a deflating ending, but an intriguing angle forming the New BLKOUT. Eagles/Hagen was very boring, with only a marginally interesting chaotic ending. AKUMA/Gresham pleased me a lot with their fluidity, but could have gained from being longer. McBride/Crist surprised me, as Jake Crist as had a great singles run in 2011 and carried a swift and crisp match, a rousing success that shows the wrestling savvy of Jake Crist. Drake/Vortekz was an incredible battle, conveying their hatred with intensity and building up the violence of their crisp attacks, even using a little bit of no-selling and a frenetic ending stretch, delivering handsomely on their first singles encounter in CZW that was close to perfect ultraviolence. Masada/Callihan was a good battle that build Sami up the roster. Havoc/Slater had potential, but got cancelled due to interference, leading to the intriguing face turn of tHURTeen and his new alliance with Danny Havoc, which made for a fun tag team deathmatch and planted the seeds of a cool new stable. Moore/Robert was very mundane and mediocre, making Devon Moore look like a joke. Briscoes/Nightmares looked cool on paper, but never gelled properly and was slowed by unfortunate injuries, followed by a cheap title change that the crowd massively rejected. Cole/Fox was a fine main event, not really spectacular in any way but enjoyable, but the finish felt very artificial and illogical, a lazy way to setup the heel turn of DJ Hyde. The show ending on Sami Callihan decimating DJ Hyde and becoming the main threat to their new regime was the absolute right call, with the crowd fully adoring him. The show has flaws, like the weak Hagen/Eagles match and the cheap booking of the last 4 title matches, but it also provides a generally solid workrate level, with a lot of cool matches to love, story development that helps position the roster better and the ascension of Sami Callihan into the top babyface spot."

[7.0] "Off the 'Hittin the Highspots' DVD with Rich Swann was the opening contest featuring two of the brighter stars in the CZW world at that time. This is the infamous match in which Swann brings out a thirty dollar bucket of KFC and offers Alex a piece only to have Colon impressively kick the bucket high to the backstands of 'The Asylum' and into some lucky fans' hands. Swann still has a leg in his hand, though, and after stomping Colon down he uses it as a mic and says 'It's Time! It's Chicken Time! ' The speed and timing of which Rich can flip about in seemingly every which way bedazzles whereas Colon naturally is blessed with a heel's demeanor making this a perky, fast-paced sustainant way to start off this show. At one point Swann takes a sick half-nelson suplex in which the top of S's head lands square on the hardest part of the apron. That was sick! Swann gets somewhat of a receipt on what he screams as a 'chicken-fried driver, an alternate take on the package piledriver. Colon wins hitting a 'Done Deal' (? ) reversing a Swann hand-spring off the NW buckle into a sit-down cradle slam. Epic 12 match card here 1 month after one of the best 'Best of the Best''s headlining with one of my favorite A Cole championship runs that matched up the well-scrubbed pretty boy A Cole and his cheap-looking slutty girlfriend Mia Yim. I don't know if I ever caught this show but memorable opener."
