[5.0] "I agree with the last comment that this was kinda weird and slow given it was only 9 minutes. The table only comes into play in the post-match and I guess ending the match without the table break was realistic but still underwhelming. Cole monologues a lot, Darby bumps a lot, there's a midair superkick. Everything you'd expect - **1/2"
[4.0] "This was a bit of an odd match with a lot of filler for only 9 minutes. Darby sets up a table but it's never used and there's no drama around it. Adam Cole does his 'shout the story' heel shtick way too much. What I did like was Darby's bumping and selling as he made all of Cole's offense look better than it was. Credit to Cole for a few things though. His Ushigoroshi looked great and that final Superkick to the back of Darby's head was spot on and looked like a knockout. **1/4"
[7.0] "I decided to check this out after Cole mentioned it in the All Out press conference and I ended up having a good time with it. It's pretty similar to Cole's match with Jordan Myles/ACH from around this time period with Cole playing the cocky heel and Darby as the gutsy underdog who doesn't stand a chance. A very solid match that's worth watching even without taking the novelty value into consideration."
