Mickie James vs. Trinity

[6.0] "its a fine match here a few sloppy moments but still a fun match here Trinity gets the win of her TNA career before losing to Jordynne and going to WWE again"

[9.0] "A good first time match up. They knew a rematch wasn't in the cards so they went pretty hard. Trinity's been a great addition and I thought this match with Mickie was as good as expected. She's been able to show all sides of her personality and abilities and Mickie was her normal great self."

[8.0] "A good matchup between two vets. Trinity and Mickie James really flexed their grappling and striking in this match. There were plenty of pin reversals and submission chains. Mickie and Trinity traded many kicks in a pretty even matchup. Mickie James showed desperation in this match, like a vet taking one last shot for the gold."

[3.0] "These two looked really off in this match, so much so that I was hoping for a merciful end the longer it went. That's my reason for going below '4'. It's hard to look beyond a botched move when you notice pattern forming. At that point it's very difficult to be drawn back into a match. I think these two may have also broken the record for most pin-falls not actually kicked out of. The ref just had to stop counting on several occasions. I'm not familiar with Trinity outside of her time in Impact but I thought this was below par for both women based on what I've seen."

[2.0] "This new finisher was a bit shocking, very slow, very little to highlight, a very simple match honestly, I didn't feel anything epic or anything that made me feel like it was a starting match, I liked Trinity's performance and her chemistry I don't know if it's bad or there was no prior practice."

[7.0] "A really great battle of respectful pride. Mickies the former champion who had to relinquish since injury but Trinitys the top dog in her absence. Both wrestlers immediately lay down markers for defence of their spot and its a really fun mind-games filled match. Mickie is clearly calling the shots here but Trinity matches her speed-for-speed and spot-for-spot. They were going for the passing of the torch match and for the most part, they nailed it. Both women dodged finishers and they kept it even until Trinity managed to make Mickie tap to the Star Struck. ***1/2"

[3.0] "This wasn't good at all. Mickie seemed frustrated at the start and that set the tone for a rough few minutes and sadly it never picked up after that. The crux of a good match was there in terms of the layout and what they tried to do but the exchanges were sloppy and clumsy and they never really clicked."

[5.0] "Also a controversial spectacle. On the one hand, the right structure was chosen. Two friends are fighting for the title, and one of them is a veteran, and its not as easy for her as her younger and fresher opponent. As a result, the young champion at first seemed to not want to engage in an open fight, which the veteran greatly disliked and gradually everything developed into an uncompromising duel. On paper it looks correct and interesting, but everything was executed really poorly. I wont choose any words, because it was bad. Sluggish pace, clumsy execution of techniques and endless drawdowns. Mickey is already really a veteran, for whom all this is difficult. Trinity is initially a performer with an average set of skills. So it turns out that nothing good worked out between them. But the result is correct."

[4.0] "The more I watch from Trinity the more I notice how much the WWE managed to hide her weaknesses, weak story was not elevated by this subpar display of wrestling by two women who truly looked as if they were wrestling underwater, something that can be said is her entrance and presentation is great."

[4.0] "Trinity can do lots of spots that look good but really has zero fucking clue how to put together a match, off the top of my head I can not think of a single genuinely good match she has ever had. I like my wrestling hate filled and nothing turns me off more than the whole mutual respect and "we really like each" other bollocks. A shame they had these two in the marquee match of the divisions year."

[7.0] "i expected a lot more from this match to be honest and i am not sure it delivered. But i also cannot place as to why. Trinity looked better than normal but Mickie seemed a little off. The finish was good but it didnt live up to the hype at all. Trinity getting a win over Mickie James is good though as it helps establish her."

[5.0] "(LIVE) Trinity's TNA run has been a bit "and then the bell rang" for me. Her presentation is great but there's something about her in-ring style that makes her matches pretty heatless affairs even when the work is solid. To be fair to Trinity she gives the stronger performance in this match with Mickie James look a bit slow on several occasions."

[7.0] "[3.75 Stars] Good match here, definitely one of Trinitys best in Impact so far (although it is not better than KiLynn King match). I really enjoyed the pacing in the latter half of the match, they went at good speeds and had an enjoyable encounter. Also cannot wait to see Trin vs Grace."

[6.0] "A good match between these two, about what I would've expected. It felt like they lost a lot of steam towards the last third of the match which did impact my enjoyment, but both women are excellent wrestlers when they want to be. I'd usually argue that a little bit more time would've benefited a match like this but I'm not sure if these two would've been able to benefit from this."

[6.0] "A solid match that I felt sort of suffered a bit from match placement being before the main event but after Ospreay/Bailey and the long gauntlet. Not a bad match at all but one I felt was missing some of the atmosphere that it could have had considering Mickies story with the championship. The match was effective in giving Trinity a much needed win over someone with Mickies type of credibility. Im looking forward to Trinity and Jordynne at Hard to Kill which could end up being Trinitys best match."

[7.0] "A solid title match with some intrigue since Mickie never lost the title, though the main event had that dynamic better. Trinity having a really powerful submission that she can slap on and win with quickly is a great addition to her gameplan and they worked well around it, it was a consideration early on, during the match, and was the finish. The actual action wasn't incredible but they kept it together and had some solid bumps. Trinity whiffing the X-Factor over the top rope looked like it sucked to take. ***1/4+"
