Steve Maclin vs. Tony Deppen

[8.0] "An exhilarating sprint of a match between two of the most intense wrestlers on the indies. One of the best matches I've seen from Maclin since his departure from WWE."

[7.0] "This was a pretty cool match between Maclin and Deppen here, two workers that I like a lot so I was expecting good stuff from both and I wasn't disappointed at all. They were given nine short minutes and they made the most of that time to give us a really good match-up from start to finish, I know Maclin's style won't appeal to everyone but I'm personally a fan of his and I absolutely loved his performance here. He didn't do anything extraordinary but he did everything a good heel should do in a match, all with a really aggressive side and some powerful moves. I liked the moments where he quickly calmed Deppen down when the latter was trying to regain the advantage. As for Deppen I have nothing to say, he always performs well and he was once again excellent right here. Not a big fan of the roll-up finish but I can understand the idea, overall this was fun."

[7.0] "This was a really good match, we can really see that Steve Maclin is a project when they give us Tony Deppen on his debut night. Maclin had a good work and Deppen can put over anybody in the world. I don't really liked the finish to be honest. ***1/4"

[8.0] "Man this was a really great match. Especially for it being Steve? s first show back. He had no rust at all. Tony Deppen came in hot, and had some really great spots, and Steve Maclin and Tony Deppen told a great underdog story. Tony was the over one with the crowd who would constantly gain momentum and get the speed going, but Steve would cut it off and make it a slow beatdown. They told a great story, and had a really great match I would recommend watching."
