[6.0] "I couldn't care for this one bit going into the match but it actually ended up being pretty decent. They did good with the time they had and I'm glad to see Inamura back. Nothing special but it's a servicable match."
[5.0] "Weird that they put this on ppv I guess for Briggs/Jensen lore lmao? Hank fucking sucks it pissed me off that he missed that nearfall break so the ref had to wait and get booed. Fine match though I guess I like Briggs and Tank beasting around. **1/2"
[8.0] "Surprisingly good six man for a fairly thrown together match to get these people on the card. Fast paced and hard hitting especially when you consider the people involved wouldn't typically be considered quick. Nice surprise"
[6.0] "There wasn't anything too memorable or stand out from this tag match between both teams and Culling weren't that interesting at all, but it was still a really decent match with some pretty fun work from Brugge and Hank and Tank."
[5.0] "honestly this match over exceeded my expectations coming into the show. Obviously no point in caring about the match or the story coming into it but definitely wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Loved inamura returning at the end of the show thought that was awesome. 3 stars"
[7.0] "A match that would have been a little lower for me if it didn't feature the surprise return of Inamura, reuniting a tag team that I have somehow truly fallen in love with in such a short time. Hank and Tank are as ever entertaining and incredibly cheerable, and although those two other guys from the Culling weren't as good, they still had some good spots and Shawn Spears is still incredibly chilling, an incredibly dislikeable heel who is excellent in ring too. I literally jumped for joy when Inamura grabbed that chair though, so this has to be at least a 7 for me."
[3.0] "A complete nonsense six man that started fine but devolved quickly into multi man nonsense with no tags or psychology, just guys doing moves. At least the post match was fun!"
[4.0] "Not even a good television match let alone be a match on the PLE. Nothing noteworthy in the match things were just happening. The best part of the match was the post match segment where Inamura returned. The match was very inconsequential Just a filler match"
[6.0] "Filler 6-man that I'm not sure needed to be on this card, but Briggs and Hank and Tank are fun to watch do their things. This was mindless fun, but fun nevertheless. The Culling - Shawn Spears in particular - do nothing for me but I didn't think this overstayed its welcome."
[4.0] "apart from the fact that I don't understand why this match is in ppv but saints vs ethan page is not. the match would be sufficient but it has a very serious botch from the referee. Ah the culling experiment has already failed 4.5/10 SIAMO NOI SIAMO NOI I CAMPIONI DELL'ITALIA SIAMO NOI"
[5.0] "Decent match. This was nothing more than a filler six man tag where the two teams traded a bunch of moves at a quick pace. It was fine, nothing special. One of those matches you won't remember anything about shortly after watching. Hank, Tank and Briggs get the win over The Culling, which is such a lame faction. Inamura returns to save the babyface team from a post-match beatdown. It was a pleasant surprise to see him back so soon. 5.5/10"
[7.0] "Hey, I didn't care about this match, but they got me hooked in no time. Yes, nothing on the line, weekly show worthy at best, but I really enjoyed what I saw here. Intensity, fast-paced, everything you need to entertain a live crowd. All these men did great, and Inamura's return at the end was surprising to me."
[4.0] "A nothing, no stakes match that I didn't care about, Neither team has anything going for it right now. Shawn Spears trying to lead a spooky faction is terrible. This match could be on any episode of the weekly show and it would produce the same feeling."
[5.0] "For what it was, it was a good match and served its purpose but it was nothing memorable.The post match segment I enjoyed more than the match itself which does say quite a bit...."
[6.0] "This was a fun filler match for the card. I thought the match did a lot for Hank and Tank, as they are the current WWE NXT Tag Team Champions. What I liked was the bit of action this match displayed. Towards the end, chaos erupted. It was cool to see Yoshiki Inamura return. I thought he went back to NOAH-Pro Wrestling after his brief run in WWE, but I'm a huge fan of him, so I'm very much glad he's indeed back."
[6.0] "Enjoyably chaotic and boosted by a hot crowd but it felt kind of insubstantial to me. Just a match that happened on the show and diverted our attention for a bit and set up for further conflict between the two so it didn't even feel like a blowoff really. Good in ring work from pretty much all involved and decent character work from everyone but yeah, just wasn't feeling it much."
[5.0] "This was definitely a pretty good match don't get me wrong, lots of athletics and cool spots and not anything necessarily overtly wrong with it. It just also kind of felt a bit unserious at times, and not in a good way. But regardless it was a serviceable match that followed the phenomenal opening match well enough, but it just wasn't anything very noteworthy either. Surprisingly the relatively unknown Vance guy ended up looking more impressive than anyone else in the match by a bit lol, **1/2"
[4.0] "I'm sorry but who cares about this 6 lol. Absolute filler just a way to add the nxt champions on a match...also why briggs? Why do they keep giving him focus instead to his MUCH MUUUUCH better ex-partner? I'm happy he at least is getting some matches but he is much better than this dumn faction. At least the offense was aight sometimes, there were some decently cool spots which is granted in a 6 man match, even then for a match so short i expected it to be much more packed but nah, pointless filler"
[5.0] "Thought this was fine for what it was. The ref missing the 3 count was a rough spot and the heel team in general looked like they didn't know what they were doing. This sold me on Hank and Tank though. They're good. Briggs has consistently been one of the most underappreciated talents of this NXT era as well. Inamura returning post match was a good moment to. But the match was.....there."
[6.0] "They worked hard to prove that they deserved the spot on the card but the moment they missed the 3 count the Match fell off a little but, it was still fun but that hurt it"
[8.0] "Good match. But the requirement of at least 500 words is Too much cagematch :v. However, from the start we can see very good in ring work, match quality along with good storytelling. Hank And Tank just impressed me too much, Tank was doing some outstanding jobs. The intensity between briggs and shawn spear was also an entertainment part, and obviously a good storytelling. It was high paced match with no time wasting, and I Don't think it can brother someone, like the first rating with 2.0. I would give a (****) to it."
[7.0] "Requiring a minimum of 500 characters to review a wrestling match on cagematch.net is dumb and a waste of time. We're talking about scripted entertainment, not groundbreaking science. Sometimes I just want to say "great showcase of technical wrestling" or "total flop" and move on with my day. Forcing people to stretch thoughts into filler just to meet a quota doesn't improve quality--it just discourages casual fans from engaging. Let us leave short comments if we want. Not everyone has hours to write an essay. Anyway: Good match! Was better than I expected from when it began."
[7.0] "This came off more as a way to simply feature the Tag Team Champions than as a meaningful match with real stakes. While it's preferable to a rushed or forced title defense, it was clearly the least developed match on the card. With the tag division currently lacking depth since Fraxiom left, it's hard to see who steps up next, aside from possibly Darkstate, there aren't many obvious challengers in sight. An alright match with a very fine post-match angle that I still doubt would not mean much in the end of it."
[7.0] "This six-man tag felt like the odd one out on a card loaded with higher-stakes, more polished showings. It had its role, getting a few undercard names some screen time, but in the grand scheme, it lacked the urgency or hook to justify its spot. A few awkward moments can really drag down a match that doesn't have major stakes or standout storytelling to mask them. And while the post-match Inamura appearance was a nice surprise, it wasn't enough to elevate the overall impact of the segment. These kinds of matches aren't necessarily bad, they're just filler"
[7.0] "If there was one match that felt out of place on this card, it was definitely the six-man tag. Outside of the surprise post-match appearance from Inamura, there wasn't much here to change that perception. The match itself was serviceable at best, but ultimately forgettable, with a few awkward moments that stood out more than any highlight. In the end, it just felt like filler on a show that didn't need any. With DarkState being the only real contenders for the NXT Tag Titles right now, this match didn't do much but take up space."
[8.0] "What. An. Insane. Match. Every wrestler here knew what they were doing. Intense, brutal, technical, emotional. Niko Vance is starting to grow on me, he really seems like an hardworking and dedicated young wrestler. NXT practically always delivers in 6 man tag team matches. Shawn brought the experience and the confidence of someone who does not make mistakes while competing, Brooks and Hand and Tank brought the will and the madness, Briggs learned a lot in Japan thanks to Noah's training and it shows. Inamura coming back was a very nice touch."
