[5.0] "This match had a great ending, but most of the things that happened before it were pretty sloppy. It wasn't terrible though, and it's cool to see Shotzi back on the indies. 2.5/5"
[8.0] "Shotzi really showed up for this match and did a beautiful job. I'm happy to see her wrestling again. Feels like Tremont didn't have too much to do this match but Jimmy Lloyd and Shotzi still made it great"
[6.0] "Three and a quarter. A better three way match than I anticipated at the start. Shotzi got ragdolled by both through out and did her signature chair crash spot near the end."
[7.0] "Shotzi's return was such a great suprise. So happy to see her back in GCW and she just perfectly adapted right back into the style. So so excited to see more from her. Lots of really great spots during this and a great finish."
[7.0] "Für mich war es das zweitbeste Match der ersten Runde und das hat GCW auch clever gebooked mit der Ankündigung von Lloyd zuerst und dann kommt noch Shotzi. Die Three Way Stipulation hat dem Match auch sicher geholfen. Ich fand es mehr als anständig und gebe 7 Punkte."
[6.0] "Obviously the main takeaway from this match was Shotzi as the surprise opponent, and she looked fine, at the very least she appeared to belong in the GCW after her time away. The ending in particular was fantastic, but the buildup was a bit slow and tame."
[7.0] "shotzi really must have wanted to make an impression on the gcw crowd for her return. worked pretty well on me. still the most tame match in the tournament but I thought Shotzi did more than enough to justify her being in the match. she did way better than her last death match against jimmy Lloyd where it felt like she took little bumps and jimmy took the brunt of everything. her being friends with Jimmy and Treemont being the goat must have made it easier for her as well. to the actual match, pretty fun. I thought shotzi looking tiny as hell compared to the other two was a nice image and made shotzi stand out a bit more. like she made the samoan drop from treemont pop more. ending was pretty sick."
[6.0] "A pretty successful return to independent wrestling and death matches from Shotzi here, facing two of GCW's most reliable deathmatch workers. A relatively tame performance from Lloyd and Tremont here, though I'd assume that was intentional to keep the spotlight on Shotzi. Shotzi took some decent bumps here, a suicide dive into a stack of chairs, a blockbuster off the apron onto a door and finally, taking an avalanche powerbomb from Tremont onto Jimmy, through a pane of glass. The tamest of the first round matchups but this was a solid enough match which showcased a returning Shotzi well. ***."
