Crimson vs. Thom Latimer vs. Tim Storm

[7.0] "What an unexpected gem of a match. All three wrestlers made perfect use of the stipulation, including one of the best ladder spots I have ever seen. The sequence with the belts was also fantastic. The headshots made me cringe a little, but I trust that they know what they are doing and will give them the benefit of the doubt. All in all, this was a match that I am genuinely happy to have watched. A pleasant surprise. 3.5 stars, 7 out of 10."

[6.0] "Unexpected really good opener with a great booking. I really can't imagine a better match involving this three. Some really fun moment and a nice way to open the show. Good work."

[7.0] "This was fun and not as bad as it seemed on paper. Not that I was expecting a bad match but this was pretty decent. Storm looked good and Crimson wasn't used a whole which helped."

[6.0] "A good brawl here, nothing very relevant in it but it pleased me. These three wrestlers are impactful when they want to be, and Tim Storm's win pleased me a lot. Some good spots in it, this did a good job. ***1/4"

[7.0] "Really fun three-way match-up to open this show between three good wrestlers who know what they're doing, I'll say it straight, it was one of the best matches on this show and it was a blast to watch during those nine minutes that went by super fast because it was so well-paced. On paper it wasn't what I expected as they're three fairly slow and basic workers who may be good but are not known for being fast and fluid, nevertheless they were given a stipulation in this match and they made the most of the opportunity to give us a quality sprint from the first to the last second. They worked hard to give us something cool and the result was more than successful, I loved Latimer's Swanton Bomb from the top of the ladder, probably my favorite spot in this match."

[7.0] "Strong way to start off the show. They made good use of the no disqualification rule and made Tim Storm look strong by having him win the match even after getting put through a steel barricade. Good stuff."

[7.0] "Well, it's a good match, it really is. Something not so much bad: the three of'em aren't in the ring in the same time... never! But the bout is strong: good spots, intensity and all. Very good way to start the show."
