[7.0] "A solid match that it seems I liked a bit more than the majority. To be completely honest/fair, though, I'm writing this so long after initially viewing it that I don't really remember much about it. I, genuinely, don't even remember this match happening in the first place."
[5.0] "Very mediocre, fun, but mediocre. Don't know why it was ever put on this card. The stipulation is stupid, and the match had some enjoyable spots; but that doesn't make this not mid. [5/10]"
[4.0] "It wasn't bad, but it definitely feel like a fully realised match. The 8 women try and split 13 minutes between eachother, with only 2 in the ring at any time with lots of quick tags, and trying to shine in a limited time. There were some fun flashes, but nobody really got the time they needed to stand out properly, and the match never fully found a rhythm. The structure and build for the women's tag teams just aren't there YET and most teams need time to develop chemistry in and out of the ring. The match showcased this. It just falls flat compared to the higher standard of matches on this card."
[7.0] "Unusual tagging system but a fun match with people coming in and out, no-one overstaying their welcome and never slowing down. The match did a fine enough job showcasing the debuting tag division even if you likely forget it ever existed in a few weeks."
[7.0] "Being there in person, I liked this a lot more than these ratings do. I do think the tag system was a bit weird, as well as the fact that the stakes weren't very high. However, the match kept a solid pace and people like Skye Blue and Megan Bayne were able to shine. Toni and Mina winning made sense, and overall no huge complaints about this match. (6.75/10)"
[6.0] "I appreciate that they're getting the women on the card more and also making a big deal of the tag tournament, but this felt a bit like trying to pad the tournament and all the ongoing feuds. A pretty good match with everyone getting their spot to shine, but nothing incredible and the stakes didn't feel all too high in the end."
[6.0] "This was easily the most filler match on the card, so expectations weren't high, but they delivered better than expected on what turned out to be a great PPV. Still, the match itself didn't do much for me overall--some good moments here and there, but nothing particularly memorable, and I honestly would've preferred straight semifinals instead of this unnecessary four-way."
[6.0] "A real shame that in this (typically long) AEW PPV card, the only women's match besides Mercedes-Stat for the Women's Championship was this. A 4-way tag to seemingly further the Women's Tag Tourney storyline? Winner gets to make a stipulation for their semifinal match. Which is kind of stupid if it doesn't apply to the other semi. This kind of thing belongs on Collision to get the teams some extra work and add in this nonsense stip. There's no reason two other women who are no longer involved in the tourney couldn't have heated up a story for a PPV match - perhaps some bad blood from an earlier tag match? some unfinished business from Blood & Guts? Thekla had nothing booked and is healthy. A match between her and Jamie Hayter would have been excellent. And what do you know - they teased a possible future match between them at the following week's TV. A week too late. That would have been incredible compared to this. This was *fine*, but with phony/weak stakes it didn't matter much. It's almost as if TK forgot until the last minute there was only one Women's match on the card and had to throw this in as filler."
[5.0] "This match was subpar and I wanted to do anything but watch it honestly, there were some interesting points but it didn't make me feel much. I assume the finals of this tournament will be much better."
[4.0] "I did not enjoy this match, since I found it too chaotic. In fact, despite only two teams having to be involved, there was always chaos in the ring, making following the match too hard. In addition, not only nothing special happened, but I found the action to be a little bit sloppy. A quite bad match overall."
[4.0] "This match gave me exactly zero reasons to love it. Chaotic, incoherent, with a terrible tag system where two teams don't seem to have to do anything, but in fact there was always chaos in the ring. Only Shirakawa and Storm look and act like a team. The action was also not outstanding, the match is not emotionally addictive, there is no tension and with every second it disappears. So the winners also got the right to choose...what? The rules of the match? For what I spend my time right now?"
[5.0] "[2.5*] Like everyone said, the only reason for this match was for the ladies to build some chemistry together. I think Tony does a pretty lazy job with the Women's Division, they're always on 4-vs-4 matches or tag 4-ways or whatever, always 8+ wrestlers at once to "give TV time to them all". He could've done the two semifinals at the PPV and it would've been better. With that being said, the action was pretty decent. I thought it was a little bit "long" for a showcase match, they were just doing moves after moves after moves, but I liked the majority of the spots."
[6.0] "The only reason for this match exist is the fact that the new womens tag team division need to improve their chemistry. For example, Julia Hart need to work her chemistry with Skye Blue and also against her opponent, and the best way to make it happen is making them wrestle, of course. Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir looked as a great tag team, Sisters of Sin still need to improve, Timeless Loves Bomb didn't had much time and Willow with Harley was okay."
[6.0] "Not a fan of this format, I found it choppy and confusing as to what exactly the teams on the apron were just standing around for. The action wasn't super exciting but it had high points. Always a sucker for a roll up finish tho. ***"
[6.0] "This was an enjoyable match, but it felt like a better fit for TV rather than PPV. I appreciated their efforts though, especially in how they did a bunch of blind tags to get the other teams involved. ***"
[4.0] "No idea why this was on the ppv card. No idea why this stip needs to exist in the inaugural tag team tournament. Lol Toni wins. Willow is being wasted. Some really below average wrestling here. No reason for this match to exist. Save this for tv. Really disappointing."
[10.0] "A great tag team match between the girls. An excellent follow-up after the fantastic women's Blood and Guts (which I rate higher than the men's Blood and Guts on the same show). The girls were given little time, but each of them managed to show something from themselves. I really like the alliance of Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa. The result is logical. I'm not familiar with all the women, but in such a short amount of time, each one managed to show something interesting from themselves. That's why I don't understand the low rating. 4.5 stars."
[6.0] "A strong and highly-competitive contest; great to see that this wasn't rushed and gave the women's tag division some needed minutes to shine on the big stage. Going into this match, I was expecting to be underwhelmed, but was actually pleasantly surprised. I'm convinced some of the comments here simply didn't pay attention to the match as a result of this feeling, given it was well-executed and paced throughout."
[7.0] "I usually hate the four corners format, but I thought it was executed decently here. I liked the tension with both heel teams, and I liked how the teams were alternated sporadically, which didn't make the match feel stagnant as you'd typically expect."
[6.0] "This match didn't really have enough of anything. Babes of Wrath are very much over, while it feels like Mina is getting in Toni Storm's way a bit. Megasus is great, and the Sisters of Sin scare me, as there's a good chance the become the first womens tag champs."
[6.0] "I wanted to be positive about this one, but there were no real stakes because they still have their semi-final matches to come. Sure, winning gives them a slight advantage, possibly, but otherwise it's relatively pointless. The match itself struggled to get going. I thought Willow and Harley looked good, as did Toni Storm, but no one else offered up anything special. Likewise, Sisters of Sin seemed poor, both hitting weak looking offense and struggling with timings. It's a shame given how over Skye Blue was after Blood & Guts - I suppose that's already fizzled out two weeks later. MVP = Toni Storm"
[5.0] "Why this match is in the card? Si the most useless and boring match of this ppv, the most of partecipants sucks, the only real star is toni Storm and the finish is bad. this match should be in pre show not in the main show"
[5.0] "It's not a needed match on this card at all. It's better then I expected with some good moments in the match but the closing moments having the lease experienced and probably at this point possibly the worse working in this match Harley Cameron just made it feel so clunky especially when she attempted to stack toni and just rested her arms on tonis legs. (***)"
[5.0] "It's okay. The emotional high was Storm fighting not to let Shirakawa pass out on the Mother's Milk, and they really delivered on it. Megan is still surprisingly capable of doing the small stuff and Willow has fire in spades, but nothing that remarkable happening here."
[5.0] "That was alright, it had a couple of mistakes, and could've easily been on Dynamite or Collision, but it had some fun moments too, the pace was fast of course, it's almost impossible to have a boring action with four tags at the same time, but it was functional. Marina didn't look so good here, a lot of weird executions - {**1/2}"
[6.0] "A few good moments, but a match that could have been a weekly event if more effort were made to feature women's matches on pay-per-view. The match was still decent, and Shafir made a good impression on me for her first pay-per-view appearance, to my knowledge. In-ring quality: 1.25/4. Stakes: 0.75/2. Justification: 1/1. Card placement: 1/1. Suspense: 1/1. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 6/10. Match watched on Triller TV."
[4.0] "I'm not sure if it's possible to do an overcrowded match like this really well but I guess this is as adequate as it's going to be also taking into account most of the participants aren't very good wrestlers."
[6.0] "Fine match overall, solid action. A bit too many women in the match, felt a little crowded. Best thing about this specific match wasn't even the in ring stuff, but the star quality that all the women ooze right from their entrance. Their gear is cool, they feel unique. Marina is by far the best she's ever been in her career, she's such a badass. Also, I thought the work in the match was a little too fast, they should've let stuff breathe. Still, very nice match though! 3.25*"
[5.0] "This shouldn't have been on the show. They only did it cause only 1 women's match would've been horrible as well. But this was not the solution. No real stakes or emotion. Just a through the motion 8 woman tag."
[4.0] "A boring and uninspired tag match, there were zero reasons to add it to the show. I need TK to stop putting the women's division in an " all star tag " almost weekly. This tournament needs something to send it to the next level to help the division start in a good way imo"
"A fun match, but really felt like a last minute way to include more women on the card. Unfortunately the Tbs champion was in a world title match so there were was only so much they could do. As both women's champions were in a match. Although I do think this was good showing of the women who can be future champions like Willow and Megan!"
[7.0] "The match being essentially pointless hurt it in a general sense, but I thought there was some really good work done here. Skye & Julia seem to both be improving and played their roles well and Harley did some great bumping. Toni/Marina/Megan/Willow the standouts as per, would've preferred more time for Willow though."
[4.0] "A very sloppy match at points. Half of this match are sloppy workers, with a couple other people that are limited, and that's going to make putting on a great match without gimmicks difficult. An average rating seems fair."
[7.0] "[3, 5 Stars] It was a good match, but in reality it's not really useful, and if you really wanted to do it, it would have been more appropriate in Weekly than in PPV."
[7.0] "Yeah um probably didn't need to be on the PPV but it got some fan favoruties on the card and it didn't overstay it's welcome so i don't mind it. It was standard in what we have seen in a lot of women's tag matches this year with each girl getting there shorts bursts to showcase what they are about and i thought that was do well once again. The Timeless loveBombs are so much fun both Toni and Mina looked great in this match Mainly Toni who looked great as always i liked how the teased the ending of B&G happening again until Toni broke up the Mothers Milk at the last second. Yeah Megan and Marina rock both looked good in this getting a chance to shine as they dominated parts of the match with Big power moves i see them going out in the semis if they do Megan should be next in line for that TBS belt. Sisters of Sin were there Normal selfs in this type of match still a bit green some of it looked great other parts still looked dodgy but they are defiantly starting to get there and they still have great aura. The babes of wrath were great in this match Willow looked good as well with some great crowd work and power moves i will never tire of her doing the pounce on Megan and Harley had such a good showing in this and i liked how she was actually able to wrestle back and fourth in the finish instead of just getting wacked with a finisher. I thought the finish was good but the outcome was quite predicable as Mina and Toni were the only ones who mention what match they might pick. Overall a really fun showcase match which got the women on the card and please give me Toni and Mina vs Marina and Megan in a Taipei death match. (***1/2)"
[7.0] "Did Tony book this match to escape one women's match allegations because this felt more fitting for a tv match and the pick your stipulation award was a very bizarre and random conclusion to have considering that the 4 teams are fighting for the tag titles already. Otherwise the action was solid, people you expect to be a step behind dragged the action whereas the big names in the match pull their weight. There is a bizzarre sentiment that the mediocre teams should be rewarded these tag titles instead of the actual good teams because of ''tenure'' and ''longevity''. I feel like just watching these matches is enough to see why that whole nonsense is not a sound argument."
[5.0] "This was pretty average. No idea why this was even on the show tbh. Some solid moments here but this felt like something that shouldve probably happened on TV instead. **3/4"
[6.0] "I wasn't expecting much, also because non-tornado 4-way matches just aren't my thing. Unfortunately, the stakes were terrible and that didn't help either. To top it off, there were a few botches here and there. I don't know, I think this match would've been better on the pre-show, even though the names in the ring were important, but in my opinion it just wasn't worth putting it on the PPV."
[6.0] "I'd give a 6.5 if I could but It didn't quite deserve a 7. It accomplished what it set out to do and I really enjoyed the finishing sequence, but not much more."
[5.0] "***1/4 normal match, I wasn't expecting anything better so they delivered, average chemistry, surprisingly no notable botches, simple but unremarkable sequences, a standard ending with a surprising victory for the Timeless Love Bombs"
[4.0] "There were a handful of miscues that really threw off the vibes in this match for me. Plus, I didn't really understand the match stipulation, and in hindsight now find it particularly strange. The one winning team of this match got an advantage in their semi-final match? That doesn't feel like a prize worth settling on a PPV. Oh well, just wasn't my favorite PPV match."
[7.0] "IDK if this match should've been on the PPV card, but given there was only one other women's match...I get it. That being said, I liked this match. I thought Marian stood out here, and my favorite spot was here just lying on the mat for Bayne to drop Mina into her lap for the Mother's Milk. That was both hilarious and great."
[5.0] "This match was OK, wasn't all that exciting to watch. Everyone did their thing in this and it wasn't bad. Started to pick up towards the end with everyone doing great moves. Toni and Mina winning was obvious, so it ruined the match a little bit"
[6.0] "There was not much expectation here as this was maybe the most filler match on the card, but they delivered in what would become a great ppv. This tournament is going fine and MINA/TONI (Timeless Love Bombs) should win because they definitely have the better story."
