David Young, Jimmy Yang & Shark Boy vs. Joel Maximo, Jose Maximo & The Amazing Red

[7.0] "Solid opening match to this weekly PPV. It's a shame the SATs never stuck around longer than they did. I liked them as a team. Amazing Redm while flawed, does an admirable job as well, carrying his team to the victory."

[6.0] "This match had potential to be something very interesting on paper, but never truly clicked which made it a typical 'popcorn' match - just bunch of cool moves executed well enough."

[7.0] "This match started out really botchy, especially among the S.A.T., but they managed to pull things together in the second half. In spite of the problems, it was an entertaining X-Division match of the sort that Russo seems to have been phasing out in an effort to draw heat."

[7.0] "A decent X Division opener to start the show. At first it was sloppy and botchy, but then improved. The heel team impressed me a lot, specially Davind Young with his powermoves and his moonsault and Jimmy Yang, a great high flyer. Shark Boy was fine. On the bayface team, Red is the best, one of the crowd favourites. The match was fun, a spotfest to get the crowd hot to start the show. After Red wins with a Code Red, Konnan attacks some of the men in the ring."

[7.0] "Very fun six-man tag team match to open this show, it was obvious that starting a show with such quality wrestlers was going to be a big hit to get the crowd in the mood for the rest of the night. It was a crazy twelve-minute sprint that I found qualitative from start to finish, they're all good wrestlers and they proved it by connecting well together. It was obviously not the best match ever, nor was it a lesson in storytelling or psychology but that was far from their goal, they just wanted to do what they do best which is this kind of spotfest, and everyone loved to see that at the time. I always loved it when Red and the Maximo brothers teamed up because they had such good chemistry, this was probably one of their best performances at this point."

[9.0] "Pretty great X Division style match with a lot of talented people involved, my favorites of which were also the standouts in Amazing Red and Jimmy Yang. David Young also quietly got really good when he shed the Bobcat gimmick."
