[6.0] "Heck of a showing from Jordan Oliver. He had an answer for every one of Jay Lethal's signature moves and even pulled out some counters were well beyond his age and experience. Jay Lethal, meanwhile, had the crowd on his side and delivered an damn good showing. He was methodical and well-paced with his offense and exploited the openings that he was given to great effect. The epitome of the difference between a star on the rise and a World Champion with unique perspective on how to win close matches. 3.25 stars, 6.5 out of 10. I really enjoyed this. Some of the hardest chops I've seen at a U.S. show in a while."
[6.0] "Jordan was weirdly shaking his fist, something I don't recall him doing before. Maybe the idea is Jordan is hyped for this match. Both guys did a good job."
[5.0] "Good opener that showcased both wrestlers. Lethal looks interesting in this veteran role and is a good benchmark for a young wrestler. In-ring quality: 1.75/4. Stakes: 0.5/2. Justification: 0.5/1. Place on the card: 0.75/1. Suspense: 0.5/1. Bonuses/penalties: none. Total: 5/10. Match seen on the ROH YouTube channel."
[6.0] "Good opener, Lethal works well as the veteran that ROH's new wrestlers have to prove themselves against, a really solid performance from Oliver. 3 stars"
[6.0] "Decent match. Oliver is one of the most solid workers in the American indy scene and Lethal still holds up quite well despite his age, together they had a fun match under 10 minutes."
[6.0] "This was a solid match, I think that Jay Lethal winning was the right choice, especially since it is in the 2300 arena. Neither Jay Lethal or Jordan Oliver did bad and this was a good way to open the night. I'm interested in seeing what is next for both wrestlers."
[6.0] "Overall a really fun match to open the zero hour tonight. The match had everything you want in a zero hour match : some slick technical wrestling, some nice high impact moves and a good bit of crowd work with both doing the Fargo strut. Always good to see Jay lethal in the ring he is just such a great worker and he shows this again with some as always solid ring and crowd work. A really good showing from Jordan with some nice high spots and some slick work with the crowd really taking to him. Overall a really solid opener for the evening and did exactly what you wanted it today and Jay as always helped had opponent look great. (***1/4)"
