[5.0] "The truth is that this fight was simply common, it doesn't even come close to their previous fights and it's the same wrestling-wise, Young Bucks, Fenix and Penta continue with the same repetitive fight structure that if you're casual it will surprise you, but if you've seen their previous fights, this one will leave you indifferent."
[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."
[9.0] "Der Main Event war dann wie zu erwarten ein fantastischer Abschluss der Best of Seven Series, die mit der Stipulation natürlich noch mal eins draufgesetzt hat. Natürlich ist The Elite der Sieger dieser insgesamt extrem starken Matchserie. Hier hat man nochmal alles rausgehauen, Dinge aus vorangegangenen Matches wieder aufgegriffen und Neues hinzugefügt."
[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."
[9.0] "Viele werden so bei so einem Match nichts positives finden, aber für mich waren das 15 Minuten purer Spaß. Hier wird ein kranker Spot nach dem anderen rausgehauen, Leute fliegen durch Tische, springen über die Seile und fallen von Leitern. Das alles dann noch sehr kompakt in 15 Minuten gepresst und man bekommt ein geiles Spotfest. Starkes Ende zu der Best of 7 Serie(****1/2)."
[9.0] "Fantastisches Match.Nonstopaction mit irren Spots und harten Aktionen mit 15 Minuten auch genau die richtige Länge.Toller Abschluss der Serie. ****1/2"
[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)."
[8.0] "Both teams obviously rule but this should have been given way more time. Due to two segments that went on for way too long, that was not a possibility. Right team won, thank god. Didnt feel as invested in this as I should have been but it was still a fun match with crazy, albeit predictable spots. (****)"
[2.0] "Ich könnte den Kommentar von killowenskill auf Deutsch übersetzen, da er die Kernprobleme gut benennt. Cue, Spot, Warten, Cue, Spot, Warten. Kein Selling, stumpfes Rausrollen, unfassbar viel sichtbares Warten am Bildschirmrand, damit die Cue sitzt. Enorm viel Kooperation, welches dem Match die Plausibiltät raubt. Keine Dringlichkeit zwischen den Spots, um das Ganze nicht noch mehr zu rushen. Schwaches Wrestling, solide Spots. Nicht mein Wrestling. Dazu ein berechenbarer Ausgang ohne Spannung oder Dramatik. Schön, dass die Series nun vorbei ist."
[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"
[8.0] "Ich gehöre überhaupt nicht zu den Leuten, die behaupten, dass die Bucks Spotmonkeys sind, aber mir ging es leider schon so, dass sich gerade dieser Stil abnutzt, wenn man sieben mal die selbe Paarung sieht. Das spannendste Element in diesem Match fand ich, dass Kennys Hände bearbeitet wurden, weil es den One-Winged Angel ebenso beeinflusst wie seine Fähigkeit, auf eine Leiter zu klettern und die Titel herunterzuholen. Er hat das auch gesellt, als er am Ende auf der Leiter relativ lange gebraucht hat, aber das war halt der einzige Moment, wo es wirklich ins Spiel kam. Ich hätte gerne eine fünf Minuten längere Version des Matches gesehen, in der man damit noch viel mehr erzählt. So bin ich eher bei vier Sternen für dieses Match und hätte glaub ich am liebsten, dass das House of Black direkt nächste Woche die Titel gewinnt, weil sich die Elite-Matches gerade ein bisschen abgenutzt haben."
[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"
[7.0] "One of the weaker matches in this series if not the weakest honestly. Not much in the way of a story besides one last use of the hammer and the spots done were mostly very standard ladder spots. I don't think this needed more time, I think these teams just used up all of their ideas in the last six matches and had the most standard trios ladder match spotfest possible for 90% of this. Everybody did a good job and took crazy bumps which I won't disregard, but they've been taking crazy bumps for nearly 3 months in this same matchup. The only story left to tell was The Elite finishing that comeback run, the rest of the story was kind of already done prior to this or set up for after this match. A fun TV ladder match but a bit of a middling ending to this series of good-to-awesome trios matches. ***1/4+"
[8.0] "Great way to cap of the show and the series, a fast paced get your shit in spot fest. Its a match type they can all probably do in their sleep even with the big bumps."
[9.0] "Mit dem AEW World Trios Title Best Of Seven Series Escalera De La Muerte Match #7 endet die Best of Series und auch das hier war einfach nur fantastisch (****1/4)."
[8.0] "Wie viele heftige Spots wollt ihr bringen? Ja! Hohes Tempo, ein Kracher nach dem anderen. Sehr gutes Ladder Match, als solches natürlich extrem spotlastig. Gutes Finish, tolle Unterhaltung. 8/10 Brote"
[9.0] "Fucking hell, this was some crazy suspenseful shit, they actually made me believe that Death Triangle was going to win, but The Elite pulled out the craziest shit possible to win."
[9.0] "I thought it was a good wrestling match and honestly it was the best option to get Kenny Omega back to being more active because he deserves it. Death Triangle's reign wasn't that long, but I'm sure they'll be champions again at some point."
[6.0] "Another match where spots overpowered the logic and flow of the match. Which is a shame because at least four wrestlers in this match are really good when it comes to building matches and making them compelling."
[10.0] "Amazing match, my favorite fight of the best of 7, tremendous and very brutal spots and in a weekly show. Some will not like it because of the result or because they feel that the fight could have lasted longer or simply for a reason, but as a great Omega fan I am more than satisfied, yes, I hope that the next champions are The House Of Black."
[7.0] "Yeah, the match was what it has to be. Not the best of the series (in my opinion the first, the second also, was better) but a great ladder match for good!"
[10.0] "This was right up my ally, just wish it was longer. Bucks are geniuses at this type of matches, Kenny Omega is the greatest ever. Very happy about the result. Top 3 match in the series and on the same level as match 1 and match 6. Phenomenal. ****3/4"
[8.0] "Pros: Big spots, great chemistry as always, hot crowd. Really some incredibly talented wrestlers risking life and limb. Alex took a bump. Cons: The match seemed rushed, and there were obvious psychology issues like Fenix willingly climbing onto Kenny and Penta being removed from the match after his own offensive move to eliminate Matt. The feud has been good but has diminishing returns. The winner was never in doubt once you learned the climax would be in Los Angeles. Really this hampered the last three matches in the series. Taken in a vacuum, this would not be such a big issue, but it perpetuates the booking issues that have plagued AEW in 2022, and now you wonder if The Elite is really that good because it seems they can only be relevant if having or pursuing titles. In the meantime, there have been no credible challengers built up for either the Trios OR Tag Team titles (or TNT, TBS, or FTW titles either for that matter)."
[8.0] "There was some great action in this match, but it wasn't quite as good as some of the other ones in the series, probably due to a combination of niggling injuries and a stipulation that made the match somewhat predictable. It was still great fun, and capped off the story well."
[6.0] "The spots were good but it lacked any kind of emotion or tension, it never seemed likely that Death Triangle were going to win, and it didn't feel like this was the heated end to a rivalry that had dominated two months of these men's lives. Felt like this match existed in isolation without the previous matches even tying into things, which makes me wonder why they even bothered with the concept."
[9.0] "Tremendous Escalara De La Muerte encounter between Death Triangle and The Elite here that perfectly concludes this best of seven series that I personally loved even if I could see that it didn't necessarily make the unanimity, for me even better than their Falls Count Anywhere and their second best behind their Full Gear classic that for me they didn't manage to surpass during their six other matches, but I have to say that it was so perfect. As was this match because what an absolutely explosive and crazy spotfest, I can understand that some people are not fans of this style but how can you remain unaffected by such well executed moves, such creative spots, such fluid guys in the same ring, they have a completely crazy chemistry and everything was seriously right. This was the match I was looking forward to most of the show and it was simply the best of the night, these guys are mad."
[9.0] "For a 15 minute match, it was a action packed sprint and filled with all kinds of crazy maneuvers and spots. With it being A. the main event and B. the last of a best of 7, I expected there to be more time for this match to breathe. I understand that you can only do so much with two hours on live national television, but this match really needed a little more space so we can get a satisfying conclusion. These guys always deliver though, so of course the match still BANGED. One Winged Angel off the ladder was just fucking insane. Kenny landing on the table was wild. PAC's falcon arrow on the floor was sick. So dope to see Kenny wearing the IWGP US title, a badge of honor from that insane match he had a week ago that almost feels like a fever dream. Not the best in the series, but still a fun ride regardless."
[6.0] "Cartoon car crash full of implausible recoveries from finisher-level stunt spots. And of course Kenny starts over-selling on his unimpeded climb."
[9.0] "A very great Ladder match, And the best way to end Best Of Seven Series matches, I was hoping to see Punk's return at the end of the match, but it didn't happen, and I think we'll see Punk in April, considering his injury, 9/10"
[9.0] "Really great spot-wrestling, however I was actually really impressed with Omega in this match who sold everything so well. It was also nice to see Pac get a little more than usual in these matches as I feel his style isn't as spot heavy as the rest of members in this match. Couple notable crazy spots mixed in with the match particularly the OWA from the ladder. Fun match to end a fun show to end a fun best of 7."
[9.0] "Excellent match. Very competitive. These six men put it all on the line. This series test the mettle of all six individuals and they came through it all."
[9.0] "This match had a bunch of stuff that I don't like. I hate when wrestlers wait around to long to catch a dive (this happened a ton), I hate when a worker positions themselves in such a way that they are begging to get hit with a big move, and I hate when someone forgoes going up the ladder even though there is no one around to stop them (the latter two only happened once to be fair, but they were very glaring flaws). However, this match had some of the most creative and insane spots you will see in a ladder match, coupled with great callbacks, a molten hot crowd, and a brilliant finishing stretch that would put just about anyone at the edge of their seat. I normally have trouble overlooking the flaws that I first mentioned, but everything else about this match was so fantastic that I can't claim this was anything other than terrific. ****1/2"
[5.0] "I believe spotfests where selling is almost unexistent can be good when a stipulation is involved. Like a ladder match, for example. Thus, this match was pretty cool for what it is, even if the match started 15 minutes before the show was over. Predictable result, but, overall, I enjoyed it."
[3.0] "None of these matches have really been for me and this was no exception. Some cool spots to be sure but noting that will be remembered in a week or two. No real sense or flow to it. The crowd dug it and that's what matters, for me I'm just happy the series is over so all involved can move on."
[6.0] "Really disappointing, some nice action but often it would feel like the match was switching from rushing as many spots as possible together to focusing too much time on bloated moments. Not much escalation or drama compared to the matches in the series where the outcome was in doubt. 2, 6, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7"
[7.0] "I went into this match pissed off at the time crunch caused by this episode being overbooked. The disrespect to have the final of SEVEN matches be this rushed. Yes, it was thrilling, but left me feeling like I'd survived a car crash. Anyway, as a massive spotfest there were some tremendous moments that popped me: Kenny's dive onto the table was the most unexpected. Rating a 7 for now because as fun as the match was, it suffered from the time constraint and there should've been at least some sort of payoff to the dissention within DT teased throughout the series, even if they weren't going to break up just yet."
[7.0] "At first, this match didn't do much for me considering I thought we all saw what these teams were capable of time and time over. However, this match was a better affair than previous bouts in the BO7 series. Big ups for Omega to take that dive through the table."
[8.0] "Pretty satisfying conclusion to the whole Elite/Death Triangle Best Of Seven, though not quite reaching the highs of their prior contests. Not bad by any means however. A great explosive pace was established from the get-go and thankfully didn't fizzle out as each team escalated their offense in a myriad of death-defying stunts, nasty table spots and an overall urge to capture Trios gold. It really felt as though simply blinking would have you miss some insane Young Bucks moment or a complete turn of the tables by Death Triangle. Made for a very engaging fight and one you legitimately couldn't take your eyes off for a second. Some might find this pace hard to keep up with but personally I find both teams utterly excel in that type of crazy, brutal environment. They work it to their advantage on a consistent basis to produce consistently entertaining results. It's nice to see The Elite recapture what they'd lost after the All Out fiasco. Really excited to see if they'll continue with original plans or start over and give us something fresh. Whatever's next, it's sure to be brilliant."
[7.0] "Wish this got more time. Felt a little rushed, understandably. I give credit that the table and ladders felt incidental to the action rather than some elaborate contraption, save for the final spot, which is fine."
[2.0] "The match rating leaves me at a loss. It was a spotfest in the worst sense of the word. They started the match 15 minutes before the end of the broadcast, and they had to work in a hurry, which led to excessive confusion and lack of selling (really, only Omega remembered about selling, but little changed from that). Wrestlers literally rolled-rolled into the ring to make a ladder spot, they alternated absolutely useless and not spectacular spots with really dangerous, but tasteless spots that weren't even sold to the audience as a high risk. The ending drove me crazy, everything said that this was fake, this wasn't the end of the feud, none of the stables wanted to win, they wanted to show more spots and fall on the ladder more times. Fenix, who climbs out on Omega's shoulders on his own, is a disaster, he didn't have a single reason to put himself in danger like that, but he did it because the match needed a bright moment, because Kenny's OMG ladder finisher is definitely what the final match of the rivalry needed, that's exactly what! According to the level of absurdity, this should be put on a par with the ending of the match of Anna Jay and Jade Cargill, but no one will notice this, because more spots are needed, and now this is not a terrible match, where the semblance of realism and the competitive process have died in agony, this is all time masterpiece. Shame (*)."
[9.0] "A nonstop bout that was full of action. It seemed like every second there was a table breaking or a body flying (or both). A great ending to the greatest best-of-seven series in wrestling history."
[10.0] "Insane car crash of a game seven match. Kenny with two MOTYs already in January. There was not much time left for Dynamite so you just knew this would be a sprint of insane spots. Ladders plus DT plus the Elite is just a recipe for a banger. We all knew the Elite would win, but they made it entertaining thats for sure."
[10.0] "This was nothing short of amazing. Old teams are remembered for one match in their career that these six pull out every week. I don't care about selling; someone holding their leg isn't what I'm paying to see, I want to see these dudes come up with the most creative and athletic movements possible. This best of seven series was unreal, from the stories told to the athleticism. The hammer, the pairings, the ancillary characters all played a part, and then these guys went balls out and left nothing back and did stuff that;s even new for them, which I didn't think possible anymore. Absolutely my match of the year so far, and it's a high bar, not just because it's only two weeks into January."
[10.0] "Best match of the series, and that's saying a lot. Best match of the night, and that's saying a lot. Two amazing teams, with six amazing wrestlers. Kenny starts the year with two 5* matches."
[8.0] "Great finale in probably the best "best of 7" series of all time. My only real complaint is this match didn't feel like it got the time it deserved for a match of this scale. I digress, these two teams were tasked with a challenge, and they made it through with flying colors."
[10.0] "An insane demolition derby to settle the best of seven series. You knew exactly what this was going to be before it started, and they delivered as promised. Beyond the flips and the insane bumps, this match was expertly layed out. It featured memorable moments, a chance for everyone to shine, some call backs to the earlier matches in the series, and a properly huge pop at the end. I understand that in theory, this isn't everyone's cup of tea. But you'd have to be pretty dead inside to not think this ladder match was a ton of fun."
