[5.0] "The start of the match was very slow and stuffy. The wrestlers were exchanging choke holds, which almost made me fall asleep. But by the middle, the wrestlers were speeding up and I even perked up for a little while, but my perkiness didn't last long because the match was overlong. I wanted the match to be over as soon as possible."
[7.0] "I was very surprised by how loud the crowd was for this match. Was the audience comprised of the friends and family of both men...? It was almost surreal how electric the atmosphere was by the end. The match was a lot of back-of-forth wrestling, largely contested on the mat, with plenty of reversals. It definitely could have had a bit more depth, but it was hard not to go along with the ride considering how invested in the action the crowd was."
[7.0] "I enjoyed this match a lot. It was a good technical match. The first half of the bout was focused on chain wrestling, reversals and submissions, such as the bow and arrow or a STF. There's some cool counters. Even if was a bit slow, it was interesting and good. Then, after a pescado from Stryker to the floor, the pace changes. They hit some powermoves, but still doing some counters. For example, when Carter tried to hit the frog splash, Stryker countered it with a cool belly to belly superplex. Or that sequences of the DVD, when Carter countered it into a small package, but Stryker still get up and hit the DVD. Or when Carter countered a Super DVD into a inverted DDT on mid-air. Finally, after Stryker scaped Carter's inverted cloverleaf, Stryker rolls-up Carter to take the win. The match was really good, as it was intense and they were so even that it seemed they could counter it all. It was really cool. After the match, they set a future submission match that should be really cool,"
[5.0] "This is hyped up as a technical rasslin' masterclass of some kind, and while there eventually is some nice work in the match, it really isn't very interesting at all, for the most part. As implied though, the action gets more interesting as the match progresses, and I feel like it ended at the exact right time, given that the last few minutes leading up to the finish were easily the hottest moments of the bout. So yes, pretty good stuff by the end, but more than half of the match wasn't interesting, so it was just pretty solid at best, all in all."
[6.0] "Das Match hat, was vielen, sehr vielen Matches bei RoH zu der Zeit fehlt, einen nachvollziehbaren Aufbau, dass von Anfang bis Ende durchgezogen wird. Toll von Beiden gemacht, aber insgesamt fehlte mir dann doch was. Trotzdem sehenswert."
[7.0] "Captain Charisma hat es gut beschrieben: Das Match hat einen sehr guten und logischen Aufbau und wird kontinuierlich spannender, auch das Finish gefällt mir sehr gut. Die beiden schaffen es, ihre Charismadefiziten gut zu übertünchen, sodass ein gutes ***1/2-Match herauskommt."
[8.0] "Das Match ist wirklich ein kleiner Geheimtipp. Von einem technischen sauberen und schnellen Start über intensive Submissions bist hin zu High Flying und sehr vielen Near Falls wird die Spannung immer mehr aufgebaut, und auch die Atmosphäre und die Interaktion mit den Fans stimmt. Carter ist hier zurecht als "The Technician" angekündigt worden. Und Stryker überzeugt mich das ein um das andere mal immer wieder (auch wenn die Matches immer etwas gleich wirken.. ). 8 Punkte, gute Leistung von beiden."
