[6.0] "Rhett Titus signed my dvd copy of this show. It is such a long show, did we really the H8 Club vs. IWS guys match or the Jr. title match? The hate for the ROH guys is very vocal yet they are ghe best wrestlers on the card. This show has plenty of botched moments but usually its not terribly noticeable. Most of the matches are fine but that opener was so damn fun. Jigsaw was the standout and he wil gdt his chance eventually. Not the best tournament but not a bad show overall."

[5.0] "This is a really long show so imma keep it as breif as I can. First 4 matches were pretty sick. I love the fast pace flippy shit so I was the perfect target audience for those. The two tag matches that followed wernt so good, and id say are pretty bad. That'd weird Cheech and Cloudy match really broke down and not in a good way. It really looked like amature hour. The semi finals were all good except the B-Boy vs Austin Aries match. Those two did not have good chemistry together on this night. The best of the semi finals was the amazing bout between Ruckus vs Christopher Daniels. BLKOUT vs Dragon and Necro was the brawl I wanted it to be. A couple sweet spots in here and is another match worth a watch. Cloudy/Niles was just a match that exited. Idk whatta say about this match other then brutal looking finish with the chairs. Bishop and Kight against the H8 Club was pretty brutal. Nick Gage getting dropkick off the top rope just barely hitting a table will live in my mind rent free the next week or so. The finals was really fuckin good and has a strong argument for match of the night. So after winning the tournament Ruckus is tired as shit and obviously forgets about the deal he made with Chris Hero earlier in the night so obviously perfect time for Hero to cash in. He does and you think Ruckus actually has some hope due to how long it's going for. But nope Hero wins in what I thought was a ultimate mega heel moment for him in CZW. Surprisingly I didn't hate the convoluted way they got to this ending of the show. After that Generation Next comes out it looks like Ruckus is gonna get beat down again but then Christopher Daniels makes the save. Or so it seemed like untill Daniels beats up Ruckus and hits a Angel Wings through the trophy before getting chaced out the ring by the rest of BLKOUT cementing in stone that the ROH vs CZW feud is far from over. Not gonna lie there's tons of enjoyable things here but due to how long it was the show started to feel draining. Not the most consistent card czw has put out either but it was just a fine show. Also hats off to the guys that had to drive to the ROH show in NJ after this."

[9.0] "The first match was decent if unspectacular, the second match had crisp action with Roderick Strong being a great antagonist while Claudio Castagnoli looked cool, composing a whole package that went down smoothly while accomplishing a lot, the third match was very short and serves to clean up a bit of trash in the brackets, the fourth match has a big time feeling, high suspense and a shocking result that sets up the most anticipated match of the night. The students tag team match was short, but gave exposure to the improving Team AnDrew. Smoke/Savages was bad and sloppy. Aries/B-Boy was pretty awful with Austin Aries doing his best to carry an atrophied lazy B-Boy in vain. Roderick/Claudio was a great match with a dense workrate that felt heavily satisfying. Sabian/Sydal was a step below but still enjoyable. Ruckus/Christopher was a joy to watch, with its moderate pace building intrigue until the last second and giving a huge notch in the champion? s belt. BLKOUT/NecroDragons was a monotone slugfest. Niles/Cloudy was a simple quick defense for Niles Young and his devastating finisher. H8/Checkmate was a wonderful surprise, as the unknown Canadians made a formidable first impression, taking it to the H8 Club and actually outworking them, more than earning a chance to come back. The Finals had an awesome lineup, but the timid first 10 minutes meant nothing, then it became very fun and exciting, and ultimately Ruckus prevailed. The surprise Ruckus/Hero feels like a cheap swerve, but the resultant match is actually decent, avoids the cheap ending and has a real finish that protects both guys credibility and the championship. I loved this show, and thought it received unjustified flack. The CZW vs ROH concept is cool, the wrestlers worked hard and the journey of Ruckus finally winning the tournament was awesome, while losing his championship to Chris Hero was heartbreaking, making this a very memorable show that told a full story from beginning to end."

[4.0] "Every first round match had good solid wrestling, and were **1/2 matches. Pelle Primeau & Rhett Titus vs. Andy Sumner & Drew Gulak. *1/2. Cheech & Cloudy vs. Ravage & The Heretic. *1/2. Austin Aries vs. B-Boy. **3/4. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Roderick Strong **3/4. Matt Sydal vs. Sabian **1/2. Ruckus (c) vs. Christopher Daniels. **1/2. I thought the wrestling in the semis weren't as good as the first round matches, but were more intense, and had good near falls. Eddie Kingston & Joker (c) vs. Necro Butcher & Super Dragon was a good brawl. ***. Niles Young (c) vs. Cloudy. *1/2. Christopher Bishop & Lionel Knight vs. Justice Pain & Nick Gage had a few cool spots. **1/4. Ruckus (c) vs. Austin Aries vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Sabian. ***. Ruckus (c) vs. Chris Hero. *1/2. Overall was an ok show, but for a BOTB, it was a little weak."
