[5.0] "The tournament had a new structure this year, which was alright. I wasn't a fan of the structuring as most matches just felt like a clusterfuck of weapon shots then anything good. I think they would perfect it back once they went back to the old structure from the previous years. Match of the night was Brain vs. Necro vs. Toby in round one. The non tournament matches sucked except the BLK OUT match. Just kinda fell flat compared to the other years."
[6.0] "Historically this show was important because it was the debut of Drake Younger in CZW. I liked the idea of only one person being eliminated in the first round and then two being eliminated in the semi-finals. I thought it was nice to change up the tournament structure which led to a really good finals match. This may sound lame but the real downfall to this show was the non-tournament matches. Normally the non-tourney matches aren't terrible and help compliment the show but that was NOT the case this year. From Sloppy Joe not being able to get his pants off to James Ellsworth (Jimmy Dream) struggling throughout... it was not a good showing. Nick Gage winning was a fantastic outcome which saw the crowd going insane. So overall I liked the tournament action but the rest was just really really bad unfortunately."
[3.0] "This year's format is all screwed up. The first match felt awkward with weapons in the way, the result is a bit surprising and bland. The second match had much more hardcore starpower, yet devolved into aimless hardcore spots, concluded by obfuscating interference that rendered the match moot. The third match also has starpower, and by going in the crowd seemed wilder than the others while being very economic on weapons, leading to a simple yet brutal finish. The fourth match features important figures of CZW's history, but the rather tame match ended with a weird heel turn angle to add Havoc to the MBA and cut Zandig's ugly ponytail, and the first round as been heavier in shenanigans than ultraviolence. The non-tournament 3-way felt like a random jobbers filler, with lame action and a format that felt tired at this point. The tag match is a better way to break the action, as Ruckus and Gulak brought workrate, the Jimmy Dream (James Ellsworth) cameo is nice in retrospect, and even Mireno looked good. Kylie/Austin felt horribly superfluous, slow and boring, with a weapon finish that seemed out of place after 5 minutes of stalling. The first semifinals is a decent brawl, with a well-orchestrated first elimination, but the rest of the match is a nonsensical mess, with Brain Damage running out of gas and Nick Gage being a selfish unprofessional asshole. The second semifinals started fast, seeming like a waste of weaponry and wrestlers until the second fall took longer and was more substantial, but they screwed the perfect ending by going longer for a contrived final spot that changed nothing. The tryout match is uneventful and imprecise, but the finish is decent. The Finals really lacked excitement, just wandering around and slowly setting up spots and eliminations that seemed forced, especially the last two being concurrent and horribly anticlimactic. Nick Gage's eventual victory seemed inevitable, bland and uninspired, as this might be the worst TOD yet."
[5.0] "Andy Sumner vs. Brandon Prophet vs. Nick Gage. *3/4. Drake Younger vs. JC Bailey vs. Lobo Had some nice spots. **1/2. Brain Damage vs. Necro Butcher vs. Toby Klein Was a good UV match, with good brawling. ***. Danny Havoc vs. DJ Hyde vs. Zandig. **1/2. BLOOD vs. Dragonfly vs. Eradication. *. Robby Mireno & Ruckus vs. Drew Gulak & Jimmy Dream. *1/4. Chad Austin vs. Kylie Pierce. *. Brain Damage vs. Brandon Prophet vs. Necro Butcher vs. Nick Gage had a few cool spots, but wasn’t great. *1/2. Danny Havoc vs. DJ Hyde vs. Drake Younger vs. JC Bailey. **. George W. Baus vs. Joe Gacy. *1/2. Brain Damage vs. Drake Younger vs. JC Bailey vs. Nick Gage was a good final with lots of cool spots. ***. The first round matches were mostly alright/good. The non tournament matches were pretty bad and really slowed the show down. The semi finals had a few cool spots, but weren't great. Also I don’t think it was a good idea to have no singles tournament matches, as having just 3 ways and 4 ways, I think sometimes there can be to much going on. Overall was an alright show, but compared to the TODs from the previous few years I thought this show was a little weak."
[6.0] "Das Tunier hat wirklich einige Höhepunkte mit Brain Damage, Drake Younger, JC Bailey, die sich sehr bemühen. Übel dagegen sind Lobo und Danny Havoc. Kompletter Backyard Müll sind die Matches, die dazwischen laufen. Der Three Way ist unglaublich schlecht. BLK Out vs Jobber Crew ist unsäglich und Bause vs Gacey eine komplette Zumutung. "
