[6.0] "It is ok but a five star rating by Meltzer is absolutely an awful take by him. This match has too many non selling bs that all six wrestlers were at fault by that and too many non senseless spots by everyone aside from PAC may be"
[9.0] "This was a pure fast pace spot fest and I enjoyed every single second of it. This was way better than I remember. Surprised this lasted only 14 minutes, that managed to pack so much in 14 minutes. Such a fun 6 man tag ladder match and a great way top conclude this best of 7 series"
[9.0] "[4, 75 Stars] An excellent match to conclude an excellent program. The Bucks and the Lucha Brothers have legendary chemistry, and PAC and Omega have a little history together, so when you put it all together, it's incredible. (****, 75)."
[9.0] "Great finale to the Best of Seven. Every match was great in fact, but either this match or the first was my favourite for sure. They went all-out making the trios title a valuable championship in AEW."
[9.0] "Phenomenal ending to the Best of Seven. It's crazy that this was only 15 minutes and still ended up being this good. I'm not sure whether it was time constraints or just how they wanted it to go, but I wish they got an extra 10 or so. Whatever though, this match still ruled. Also has to be said that Kenny delivered one of the best matches of all time against Ospreay a week prior and then comes back with this. GOAT. ****1/2"
[10.0] "The best of seven series has been excellent, even the matches in the middle were good and different from the rest, which is a great performance from both teams to not do the same stuff over and over. This final Escalera de la Muerte match left me speechless, Elite and Death Triangle are truly the best to ever do it, in terms of trios action. This match was perfect, truly perfect, so many spots so many moves, and high risk moments. Actually, one of the best spotfest I ever watched. Thanks guys."
[9.0] "I deliberated between 9 and 10 for a while, but settled on 9 because of the time constraint. However, I did really love the sprint pace throughout this match. Kenny was insane for doing some of those spots a week after the Ospreay match at Wrestle Kingdom."
[8.0] "****1/2 Amazing TLC action and spots, but felt so rushed and shoud've gotten more time, especially being the 7th match of the Best Of 7 Series. Because of the short lenght, I also don't think this match is worth the 5 star WON rating as well, but that's just my opinion. But what the managed to cram in 15 minutes, it was very entertainign and mindless fun."
[10.0] "[5.0*] This was the end of the best 7-game series in the history of Wrestling (a 7-game series worthy of an NBA final). All seven matches are fun in their own way, in this Escalera de La Muerte we have incredible, exciting and electrifying sequences, the action happens non-stop and at all times the trios try to climb the stairs but are always prevented. Throughout this entire series it's impossible not to praise Kenny Omega, he was the MVP of this, his athleticism is insane and his talent is out of this world, his exchanges with Pac during EVERY match were spectacular. The One Winged Angel on Fenix from the top of the stairs, followed by Pac's missed Black Arrow was a wonderful sequence to close out this historic series of matches. This match seven is insane from start to finish and the 5 stars here are for the match being perfect but also for ending the rivalry."
[8.0] "Seventh and final match of Bo7. A good, well-orchestrated spot fest. Everyone is giving their all. I would have expected a better finish but a nice ending image nonetheless. (4*)"
[8.0] "A good match for what it was. These matches are not my cup of tea as there is so much happening that I have a hard time appreciating the spots because they come in such quick succession. That being said, the athleticism, coordination, intestinal fortitude and choreography needed to pull a match like this off is incredible. The moves/spots were all crisp, as you would expect from these 6 competitors. I would have liked to have seen Death Triangle pick up the win here, but The Elite are obviously worthy champions as well."
[10.0] "Yeah no psichology, no work on the charachters, wrestling is worse than in the '70 and bla bla bla. You know what? I don't give a fuck. This was an awesome compilation of mind blowing spots that got wilder and wilder after every minute and that 'll break your jaw for sure. We need these kind of matches, wrestling wouldn't be the same without. *****"
[8.0] "I wouldn't call it a great match because of some of the spots looking obviously co-ordinated and the fact that Penta was out of the match after the fear factor on the ladder. But it was for sure entertaining and there's value in that. The number of bumps these guys took were crazy and they pleased the fans."
[6.0] "I starting to hate myself for writing the same comments over and over because of the rules and besides that i think everyone knows my reasons and on the other hand, I'm too judgmental and taking this rating so seriously that i can't rate this kinda matches like 7/10"
[8.0] "This match benefited from the 15 minute runtime. It was a total sprint with big spots and devastating moves. Omega's Terminator dive through a table, the falcon arrow on the floor, the 450, etc. The run-on sequences were a lot tighter too. The selling was egregiously bad at times (Omega barely selling a poisonrana and package piledriver, Penta getting up from a 450 but getting removed from the match because of his own offensive move) but that's to be expected. They stayed away from any bad ladder match tropes and had an adrenaline rush of high impact moves. Good stuff. ***3/4"
[9.0] "Absolutely mental spotfest, which is to be expected from these 2 teams. They only had 15 minutes, but holy shit, not a single second went to waste in this match, as it was insane spot after insane spot for basically the whole match. Absolutely ludicrous stuff. ****1/2"
[9.0] "This was the classic crazy spotfest between these two teams and just like all the others it was amazing. This match was full of crazy spot, some shots on the ladders looked very nasty as weel as the table ones and the action was non-stop and fast-paced and it was fantastic. The One Winged Angel from the ladder was perfect. I wanted to see Death Triangle winning but they decided to go for the original plan and I'm fine with that. 9/10 - 4.5*/5*"
[9.0] "An absolutely insane 3v3 Ladder Match. Due to time constraints, this was an straight sprint to the finish for these six. However, this wasn't a problem for me. There was always something going on and the LA crowd was hot for the match's entirety. Virtually every spot was done well and things just kept getting crazier and crazier. My only issue is that I believe, like many others, that this match could have benefitted form a little more time. All in all, the Final of The Elite and Death Triangle's Best of Seven Series undoubtedly delivered on showcasing just how good these three trios really are."
[6.0] "Everything they did hurt me physically. Darby must be watching the match backstage and furiously taking notes. How any of them still have an ass is a mystery. It's just a shame how anticlimactic the final match feels though. They built up to this match for months, but instead of giving it time to breath as a match they were sprinting through it. The match was very good and a lot of fun, but you know it could have been an instant classic if they hadn't had to cram the entire match into one 15 minute segment. Why did we need that JAS promo beforehand? Completely unnecessary and it stole time from the main event."
[9.0] "9.5 - Totally unique in this respect - it was a spotfest, ladder match sprint. People will hate it for the choreography and the no-selling, but you have to admire how all six pulled off incredible, dangerous spots one after another, all while facing a TV time limit. Everything hit flush, no injuries were sustained, that's incredible. My highlight was the OWA off the ladder."
[10.0] "I've heard so many criticisms of this match: that Meltzer exaggerated by giving it 5 stars, that it's a generic match, that it doesn't make the slightest sense and has no selling....but with all due respect, I don't care. I loved it. That was exactly what I wanted to see from these two teams. The pace literally never stopped, the spots were fantastic and imaginative, and the Elite's victory was a big moment. For me it was a magnificent main event, and you won't change my mind"
[8.0] "It was pretty good match. If you exclude omega and pac, it becomes a pure spotfest. Attacks were very poor, they should atleast try hard offences. Otherwise it is hard to accept. (***3/4)"
[9.0] "Really incredible match. I'm not sure if I would call it the best in the series but it was amazing none the less. Either team could've won and I would've been happy with it. I just hope both teams continue to be booked well after this."
[7.0] "I actually much prefer the previous match in this series, a fun frenetic spotfest but unfortunately failed to deliver in the climax for me, still worth a watch!"
[6.0] "Seen this twice now and I didn't like it as much the second time. It's fun but I've seen so many better multi person ladder matches in wrestling over the last 15 years or so. The two table spots in quick succession was a good moment, although all meaning went out the window quickly when Kenny popped back in the ring. I'm not sure it's even one of the best three matches in the series. Also the third best match on this episode of Dynamite."
[7.0] "The star rating really isn't worth anything anymore, and to think that matches like Angle vs HBK or HBK vs Taker weren't 5* and this generic spotfest was, I'm not the biggest fan of car crashing matches anymore and this one is far from being One of the best I've seen (***3/4)"
[9.0] "The stipulation told the importance of the Game 7. Use of the ladders was good, like, he's not just a run for the titles, you know. Before taking your chance to climb the steps, take the time to make sure that your opponent is now fused with one of the ladders. Inner rivalries had grown during the series and they settled everything on the ladders' edge. What a ride it was, each guy, for each fight, took some nasty bumps just for the fans' pleasure. Even if the Escalara felt a bit rushed, that somehow served the fight, maybe the sence of urgency. The finish was superb, moreover."
[10.0] "Chaotic, insane match, just what you could expect from these six awesome performers. Everyone got their time to shine, and everyone did a great job. This was a spot fest, an unbelievable one, it is admirable how these guys take those bumps and risk their lives just to entertain us."
[7.0] "The other two big matches on the show didnt deliver on a big level but I was perfectly happy with this. Apparently, helped with a shorter time given to them, similar to the All In main event. Leaving an action packed match with not much crap ladder spots that take ages to set up. It was quick and fast and furious while apparently connecting the previous matches. I didnt see them so I cant confirm but it sounds like there is little to complain about. ***1/2"
[8.0] "The whole series was a lot of fun to watch as two premiere units clashed under different atmospheres, tried their best to create a difference from the previous bout and succeeded in it. Despite the formula being similar to their usual style, the different welcoming of crowds & the increasing tension in the storyline had the investment stay intact from the very beginning. As much as the result was expected, it feels like a deserved ending to the whole fiasco so that fresh opportunities can be opened for both teams from a rich roster of talent. 4 out of 5 stars!"
[8.0] "This was a wild one, but it was hard to top any of the other matches in this best of seven series. While this was a fun series, I am excited to see everyone else move onto other things. ****"
[9.0] "What an epic conclusion to this Best of 7 Series between these two great teams. The Elite could've easily just returned at Full Gear and won back the Trios titles. However, the route they chose was so much more rewarding. Omega was just one week removed from the Ospreay match, which makes this even more impressive."
[10.0] "It is difficult to conclude these seven games better. As often in this BO7, I took a lot of eyes. The moves were quite varied throughout the matches and this ladder match emphasized even more on some acrobatics, special mention for the One Winged Angel from the ladder. Great main event. 9, 5/10 (4* 3/4)."
[7.0] "More of a bunch of spots than a match, not much sense or psychology, and felt too short but its a TV match so its fair. That being said it was still fun to watch so I cant say it was a bad match, definetly not 5 stars though"
[9.0] "Absolutely outstanding, best in the series in my opinion. These guys perform best in chaotic stipulations such as this one! Everyone loves a crazy spot fest when its appropriate! Another big win for Omega too! The one thing that wouldve made me give this a 10 wouldve been more near finishes and drama building spots. I like some good storytelling with my moves. The crowd were on fire for this one though which helps a lot. They were very happy that The Elite left with the gold."
[9.0] "2023 - Couldn't give one single shite about the overall best of 7 series story or anything like that, but as solitary match, it's a great spotfest/sprint. ****1/2"
[8.0] "This was a frantic spotfest. I was a little disappointed slightly, this was not my favorite match of the best of seven and felt rushed. It was a great ladder match but I don't find it to be a five star match like Meltzer. A tad overrated by some but still a must see spectacle early in the year."
[10.0] "Easily one of the best ladder matches I've seen. In my top 15 at least. AEW ladder matches are normally hard to watch and extremely sloppy/dangerous, but this one felt PROFESSIONAL! This 6-Man will probably end up being my MOTY, if not the top 10. Go watch this match."
[8.0] "Despite the predictable finish, most of this series has been enjoyable. This match is the possible highlight. Despite that, I do not want to see either of these teams interact with each other for at least three years."
[6.0] "I'm sure if I liked these teams more I'd like this more. They worked this at 100MPH, hit their usual spots, but this time with ladders involved. Kenny hitting the one winged angel off the ladder for the win was a good ending to this. Thankfully this series is over with.***1/4"
[4.0] "It's just hard for me to process such matches in my head. I know this is how every Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros match goes, and some consider it to be one of the best matches in AEW, but not me. It's a little interesting just because wrestlers risk their health too much with crazy moves, but I'm not sure if this is the right way."
[9.0] "an epic spotfest to cap off the series. they only had 15 minutes but they made every second work. cut the JAS segment and add 5-10 minutes and this is easily a 10. these six worked at a very fast pace to make up for the limited time. the action was nonstop with bodies going left and right. people will complain about the no-selling but it helped the match flow and made it entertaining. the OWA off the ladder was an insane spot. we saw the finish from a mile away but it was still a very fun match. it sucks Death Triangle didn't get a longer run with the belts but i'm excited for this HOB/Elite feud."
[7.0] "A pretty fun car crash of a match. It's a shame they had to power through it so quickly but I thought they did a decent job with the time they had. If only that Jericho segment hadn't existed and this was five minutes longer. The short runtime put the focus on spots and bumps over drama but ladder match drama is such a one-note tired cliche at this point that I can't say I mind all that much."
[7.0] "Honestly, not the big spectacular blowoff I was hoping for. These two teams are capable of better and more creative stuff than this. Still a good match but on the lower end."
[7.0] "A week after having one of the greatest matches ever against Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom, Omega is sadly back to his now standard, vastly inferior AEW form where he just does the greatest hits alongside the Bucks and the other spotfest guys in the company. I can't be too mad though, because it can often be pretty good, as was the case here despite the usual issues I have with such matches. It was surprisingly short, and Im unsure whether that was by design or whether the rest of the show just ran longer than expected, but it had all the usual impressive athleticism and non-stop action, as well as all the annoying contrivances that come with it. There was mostly nothing we haven't seen before, though a few of their spots involving the ladder were somewhat creative and admittedly pretty damn cool. They ended up using their relatively short 15 minutes well, but it would've taken them changing up their entire structure and style to make this a truly memorable match, and this group of guys together obviously aren't capable of doing that. ***1/4"
