[7.0] "As mentioned, not a wrestling clinic, but as far as a primo slice of old Sabu fare this really does go a long way. Plenty of violent spots & Abyss is always a great hand to have for TNA."
[8.0] "The match itself was a bit mediocre, but the finish of this match was so creative that I think anything under an 8 would be a disservice. Sabu and Abyss both take their fair share of insane bumps/cuts, Sabu has a few signature spots, and the story around Abyss' fear of barbed wire is done pretty well. I rewatch this one regularly (mainly for the finish), and it still hasn't gotten old."
[9.0] "This massacre truly was fantastic with really amazing action and spots between both men with all the barbed wire and they gave such great performances here as well."
[8.0] "I wouldnt call this a massacre but I will still call it pretty damn good. This is decently bloody but both guys have had bloodier but there was still some painful stuff here"
[7.0] "Two hardcore legends still in their primes going at it in a match like this. While it wasn't a wrestling clinic, the violence was top-notch and that's why I wanted to watch this. Cool stuff"
[8.0] "The storytelling with Abyss and his fear of the barbed wire was done really well! This was also one of Sabu's best performances and had a lot of intense spots without being gratuitous. Solid match."
[10.0] "Mindblowing spots and incredible selling (especially from Sabu) make this a standout hardcore match even so many years later. This is the best possible version of ECW nostalgia"
[9.0] "This is awesome a fucking brutal match. Brutally awesome. Its hard to really take your eyes off this match its crazy. Both guys go all out doing crazy fucking things. If you like hardcore wreslting or anything like it this is a must watch. These guys are animals. 4.25/5"
[8.0] "good match. Abyss and sabu Just stunned this match. It was so brutal. It's Amazing how hard things those guys were taking. Both bleed in the match which can also be added as bonus. (***3/4)"
[7.0] "Good match which used its surroundings very well. Both men took some sick bumps, as you would expect from two men fond of the hardcore style of wrestling. Match didn? t overstay it? s welcome and had you wincing at the right times."
[9.0] "Concept of defense was not a thing in this match, but 'ring is the weapon' absolutely was a thing. This was all about insane, gruesome, brutal spots and somehow this match had a surprising amount of creative spots, including the finish."
[5.0] "The idea for a barbed wire match always sounds cool but it's very hard to pull off well. This wasn't bad but it felt like the stipulation was in the way instead of enhancing the match."
[6.0] "Relatively tame for this kind of match if you've seen a few but I guess that can be expected in a company like TNA. Still a decent enough spectacle even if it's quite forgettable for this match type. Sabu's dive was quite nice and the landing, with him being suspended on Abyss for several seconds, was great."
[8.0] "Es war ein Massaker. Es hatte für mich ECW Feeling wegen Sabu und Holy Shit das Match ist nicht nur brutal sondern auch sehr blutig (***1/2). Beide verletzten sich im Match Abyss musste auch genäht werden."
