Matt Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov

[3.0] "A boring match like most Kozlov matches. I don't think many guys could have carried him to a good match. Matt worked hard to his credit. Kozlov working on the left arm was fine, but it went on too long and it wasn't exciting to watch. I don't think Kozlov is a good choice in an opening match since his style is so boring."

[3.0] "A real bad match between both men with little to no chemistry between each other, Kozlov dominates Matt throughout most of it, and there wasn't much of anything else to it."

[7.0] "Pretty good match. Vladimir Kozlovs ECW Debut was good. I feel like Matt Hardy had just enough offense to make it not a total Squash. Vladimir Kozlov was the right winner. They wanted him too look like a monster and they did that. Rating: ***"

[4.0] "While this wasn't a terrible match, Kozlov just isn't a good wrestler and not even a veteran like Matt Hardy could help him here. This being a non-title match also telegraphed the winner."

[3.0] "Very hold-heavy match. The last quarter is decently exciting, but Matt doesn't get much time to shine while Kozlov stumbles through basic moves. Just when you think it's getting exciting, Kozlov delivers the weakest looking finisher ever."

[2.0] "I mean I'm not going to lie, I had zero belief in this being any sort of good but I can at least say I enjoyed the commentary team trying the hype Kozlov as if he's some pro wrestling Ivan Drago while he puts up an incredibly boring performance. Vince really tried to push anybody."

[0.0] "This is an eight minute rest hold full of incredibly awkward sequences and consistent awkward silence from the crowd, it's also capped off with maybe the worst execution of Vladimir Kozlov's finisher ever and I would really like to forget that this ever happened as soon as possible."

[4.0] "If anything this match only shows how pointless the ECW roster was, since their world champion got beaten so easily by some other guy from another show. It's not awful as there are no botches and their stuff looks decent, but it's also really dull and if Triple H couldn't get a decent match out of Kozlov then Matt wouldn't either."

[4.0] "Kozlov was dull and functional, but Matt was over and made Kozlov look good, so the match was watchable"

[5.0] "When Kozlov is dominating is boring, when Matt is attacking is better, but is most Kozlov taking control of the match."
