Dan Moloney vs. Leon Slater

[7.0] "I was in attendance for this match and it was the first time i'd ever seen a match from either of these men but i must say they very much impressed me. Dan Moloney has IT i think he's incredible and when i left this show he was one of the guys who left a lasting impact on me. Leon Slater is super athletic and incredibly fun to watch so this match was the perfect opener and got me hyped for this show."

[7.0] "I had never seen Leon Slater before. Safe to say I was very impressed. Nothing too special but a fun five or ten minutes of wrestling."

[6.0] "I have been meaning to check out a Leon Slater match and I can clearly see the intrigue. Impressive athleticism and some creative offense. That Stundog Millionaire variation out of a Tilt-a-Whirl was insane. Dan Moloney, meanwhile, has been impressing me since his recent NJPW debut. Reminds me a lot of Tony Nese in the sense that he offers a bit of everything, including the athleticism to keep up with anyone. The mean streak is what makes Moloney different, though, and I really enjoyed the side he showed here. The focus on the sternum from start to finish was a different and appreciated approach. All in all, an enjoyable opener. 3.25 stars, 6.5 out of 10."

[7.0] "Leon Slater is one of the best prospects coming from the UK in the recent years. Seeing him live for the first time was amazing. The match against Moloney was a great opener, filled with amazing spots but also a grudge match between former allies. (***1/2)"

[7.0] "This is a blow off to a feud they have been having. There is a few minutes of action outside the ring before the bell rings so its actually a fair bit longer than 7 minutes shown on here. It is the first time I have seen Leon Slater and he looks decent except his elbow strikes which are embarrassingly bad and need major work. Dan held this all together and its a decent start to the show."

[7.0] "Very good match, I don't see any point in losing an NJPW champion anyway, pleasantly surprised with Leon Slater anyway, the movements that could have been wrong, he modified or redid them in an excellent way, demonstration and quality of wrestling with these two guys. In any case, I feel that there are many things to polish and even more so for a PPV of this caliber."

[7.0] "Leon Slater is the real deal, Ive seen the clips and now I have seen a full match and I can honestly say he is the future, he was able to make a great dramatic match with Dan Maloney, the match was kind off overshadowed by RevPros shitty video commentary."

[8.0] "Great choice for an opener, and I think it did all the right things - started the show hot with a heated face vs. heel match that went straight to the point, showcased both wrestlers' ability, and obviously told the world that Leon Slater is the next big thing that everyone will be talking about when the time is right. Moloney did a great job as a heel as well. ***1/2"

[6.0] "A strong opening match for this monumental show for RevPro. This match was set up previously at Epic Encounter, and I'm a bit surprised they had Leon Slater go over Drilla Moloney in their first match, , but Slater is by far the best prospect in England since Will Ospreay, so I suppose it's not too surprising to see RevPro really getting behind him this early."

[7.0] "A fun opener with an excellent Dan Drilla Moloney performance. Really loved the intensity and the chops. Slater has real potential for his age, obviously plenty of things to work out but I think hes got something. Opened well, ended well, and kept a good sense of momentum throughout. Moloney could really do something in this business."
