Jason Hotch vs. Ricky Sosa

[7.0] "Very solid match, Jason was a brilliant first opponent to Ricky here and both put on a good spectacle"

[8.0] "Really liked this match my TNA match of the year so far. Both showed amazing athleticism and Sosa was great at getting the crowd behind him. A lot of cool sequences and moves and Hotch gets a good hard fought victory."

[7.0] "This was a solid match, I liked the work and I think Sosa looked like a superstar in this. I think that this also showcases the platonic ideal of what TNA should be, in my mind. It showed the US an emerging international star, he gets to develop his TV skillset and he has a chance to get over. What a job he did. Showed off the size, the dive was great and his take on the blue thunder bomb was absolutely godly. Liked this a lot!"

[7.0] "A pretty good TNA and USA debut for Ricky Sosa against Jason Hotch. Nice showings from both wrestlers in one of the better matches on Xplosion in recent memory especially with the support that Ricky had. A nice reminder of the potential that Jason Hotch continues to show as well. 6.5-7"

[7.0] "Jason Hotch demonstrated his immense talent. A great partner for Ricky Sosa. The technical opening was solid. The climax was sublime. I hope for more matches like this on TNA's programming."
