"Back in 2017-18, I was trying to branch out and away from watching the WWE, I had watched almost every Raw and Smackdown, and at the time TNA (impact) was not in the greatest shape. I ended up finding Lucha Underground, for free on Tubi TV, and I remember searching up "top LU matches", THIS WAS AT THE TOP. I didn't know who either wrestler was and didn't really know much of their story, I just skipped ahead and watched these two beat the shit out of each other. It was insane and my younger self could not believe what I was watching. I still remember the bottle to the head and the big bump that was taken to the floor. INSANITY at its finest."
[10.0] "[5.0*] What an incredible match, this is probably the best match in the history of Lucha Underground, Fox and Killshot were spectacular in this match, from start to finish, they used the spots incredibly and the pacing was great. The first fall had Fox dominating, taking the match outside the ring and doing the main spots, in the second fall the intensity decreases and we have more action in the ring, this is when Killshot has control and manages to tie the match, the third fall begins with both exhausted and Fox's back bleeding a lot, the last fall was extremely exciting and brutal, the turnaround at the end and the exchanges between them were sensational, Killshot throwing Fox into the glass and getting the victory was INSANE, after the match ended I All I could think about was how this was one of the most insane matches I've ever seen and perhaps the one with the best spots, a historic match that boosted Swerve Strickland's career."
[10.0] "Honestly just speechless. This is a match I've been wanting to check out for a long time, and it is fucking insanity. First of all, why the fuck wasn't I watching Lucha Underground when it was a thing. Like the production here is so sick and the way the environment looks and how the wrestlers interact with it is so cool. Also the storylines seemed to be absolutely fucking nuts. They showed a video package that explained why the match was happening, and apparently it's because Fox and Kills hot were both in the same military unit or whatever, and one time Fox got captured and tortured by the opposing side and now accuses Killshot of abandoning him and leaving him for dead, so now vows to ruin his life. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? ! ? ! But onto the match itself. I could just list spots, but I don't think that does justice to how fucking insane and brutal the things that both Fox and Killshot put themselves through were. I mean Fox has a literal piece of his flesh torn from his back during the course of his match, and it's about as disgusting as it sounds. I don't think I can compare this match to anything else. Sure, it's a deathmatch, but it's so unique in it's presentation and the spots are so out of this world that I don't think there is anything in the history of pro wrestling like it. This is a match that I don't think can ever be replicated, and is something that could've only ever have taken place in the insane world of Lucha Underground. *****"
[10.0] "Hell of War, literally. What a match, what a performance by these two. Killshot aka Swerve Strickland knows how to fight in this type of matches (CZW) but men this match represents how unique was Lucha Underground. A match with a lot of violence, amazing spots(i can count 5 OMG moments) and with a very good storyline in the middle. Is not for everyone because is a rare style, a deathmatch but different. These 2 deserves all the credit for all the spots. Thank you Killshot and Dante Fox, amazing wrestlers. *****"
[9.0] "An absolutely brutal match that could only take place in Lucha Underground. The future Swerve Strickland and AR Fox threw caution to the wind with every crazy move they pulled. The first fall (First Blood Match) featured a brutal bump taken by Killshot through a sheet of glass causing blood to seep from his back. That visual looked crazy enough but it was followed up with Fox eating a powerbomb through a board covered in barbed wire causing his back to pour blood... disgusting (in the best way). From there the bumps only get crazier and the backs only get bloodier ending with a tremendous closing spot with Fox ready to deliver the final blow to his former brother before Killshot smashed him with a beer bottle and caused him to fall through two sheets of glass and down to the floor. An amazing display of violence that only receives aa 9/10 because it felt like storytelling was done away with during the middle 15 minute stretch, and because of my own personal dislike of Matt Striker and Vampiro's commentary."
[10.0] "If there is one wrestling promotion I regret not watching enough of, it would be Lucha Underground, which decided to take wrestling and make it into something like a TV drama show, with wrestlers coming back from the dead, love triangles, and much more silliness packed in there. Even though the promotion only lasted 5 years, it still managed to produce some amazing matches, with this being arguably their best match and the most brutal. The story is that Killshot and Dante were military soldiers and partners, but on one fateful night, Dante was captured and tortured for information, and ever since that day, Fox accused Killshot of leaving him for dead and decided he was going to make Killshot's life a living nightmare. And in this Hell of War ( which is three stipulations in one match, First Blood, No DQ, and Medical Evac, and whoever wins two out of three wins), they went to hell. This match is brutal and unsettling. They get tossed through glass window panes, resulting in bloody backs, Fox gets powerbombed into a table covered in barbed wire, Fox has a piece of his flesh left on a gurney, and the final minutes are just a soap opera, with Dante preparing to deliver the final blow as he's choking out Killshot with a microphone cord, before Killshot hits a beer bottle on Dante's head, resulting in Fox falling through two glass window panes. Everyone is shocked at this match, even the referee Rick Knox. A wonderful display of artistic violence."
[10.0] "This match is scary, the violence is at an astronomical level, but it's not limited to just that, the storytelling is phenomenal and the look of Dante/AR Fox's back is disgusting (in the sense of shocking). One of (if not the) most visceral matches I've seen to date. Full marks for respect for the backs and the insane bumps these two took in this match (especially Fox) (*****)"
[10.0] "I watched this fight for the first time. And oh my, tremendous brutality, intensity and unforgettable spots. Watching it and how sick actions were taken by both wrestlers, I was afraid of what would end this clash, and what happened at the end surpassed all my guesses. One of those fights that cannot be compared to others because of its originality and, most strikingly - violence."
"I loved it especially because its not only pure violence (witch is good! ) but there is also a lot of nice spot. The storytelling is great both athlete are gifted.I'm absolutely not a deathmatch specialist so there is maybe better matches than this one but this one is really really good!"
[10.0] "This was my first experience of whats essentially deathmatch wrestling and it didnt disappoint. This match was absolutely fucking hellacious with the way they used glass and other weaponry, I was captivated and both AR Fox and Swerve absolutely delivered here in an incredible match."
"Oh boy this match is absolutely brutal. These two went to war with each other, while admittedly I'm not familiar with Lucha Underground after seeing this match and seeing who was on it I certainly plan on checking it out"
[10.0] "Completely crazy match. This is packed with action and violence. The final spot is particularly memorable and insane. Some may say that some of the more acrobatic high spots undermine the brutality, and in some instances I would agree, but in the comic book world of Lucha Underground I think all of these things fit the environment and the atmosphere. There is also a 'fighting spirit' moment that I would often roll my eyes at elsewhere, but in a match this legitimately brutal I think it feels earned instead of rote. If I saw this match anywhere else I'm not sure if I'd rate it as highly, but Lucha Underground feels like it has different rules than wrestling elsewhere, and for what that promotion sets out to be this is stellar."
[9.0] "Das war natürlich eine Wahnsinns-Matchart die zu einem Wahnsinns-Spotfest führte. Vielleicht ist dies das Match, in den Spitzen Bewertungen hier, dass am meisten eine Geschmacksfrage ist. Mein größtes Problem mit dem Match war, dass ich das Highlight mit dem Abschluss der Phase 1 verorte."
[7.0] "Just felt rather dull, and outside of a couple spots, don't think it's anywhere near 'the greatest deathmatch of all time'. The stipulation however, is super cool."
[10.0] "Since Swerve Strickland vs. AR Fox will be taking place tonight on AEW Dynamite and they're both wrestlers that I really like, I finally decided to watch this famous match that has been recommended so much in the last few years and that has been so talked about, you've probably already seen spots of it without even being aware of it or having never watched it so much there are some shocking and absolutely amazing things in all of this. While I'm a nostalgic fan of Lucha Underground and these are two performers that I love, I must admit that I had shamefully never taken the time to watch this match so it was part of my 2023 resolutions as well as my way of hyping my mind even more about their match tonight (which of course will be anything but something like this), how can I say that I'm ashamed that I didn't watch it sooner. It's basically a Three Stages of Hell that Lucha Underground calls a 'Hell of War' with a First Blood, a No DQ and a Medical Evac match... and it's probably the craziest match I've ever seen in my life and yet I've seen a bunch of them. Probably one of the most violent and brutal matches in the history of this country, you can watch this without even knowing anything about their history that you will be filled with happiness after watching this. A lot of unbelievable spots, rhythmic action for twenty-five minutes, a perfect comeback story for Killshot and a lot of things that will leave you speechless... if like me you never watched this match before and you want to do it, I just want you to watch it as soon as possible."
[10.0] "I don't think there is anything more you could do to make a "Deathmatch" style match better than this. Especially with the 3 stages of hell type rules! This is pretty much the peak. From the DISGUSTING Visual of Dante Fox's back, to the insane spots, to perfect soap-opera-esque ending. It's genuinely great. Not to mention the entire match makes SENSE being this intense (no sell spot included) given the perfectly overly dramatic story leading up into this. A very well deserved ***** match!"
"I watched this match in preparation for seeing AR Fox on dynamite for my first time. Have to say this match did not disappoint and has sparked interest in me watching more Lucha underground, amazing stuff 10/10"
[10.0] "Usually, I am not a fan of hardcore matches but this matches is awesome. I already knew that Fox and Killshot were two extremely gifted athletes but I dindn't know they are capable of scuh violence."
[7.0] "Looks like I'm the low vote here. The work was amazing & the moves were crisp, but the violence was.......well, overwhelming at times. Not my personal cup of tea, but for the type of match this was, I will say it's hard for me to imagine it being done any better. If you like death match wrestling & the athleticism of lucha, this may end up being your absolute favorite match."
[10.0] "My favorite variation on this gimmick and probably the best match that Lucha Underground ever put on. The first fall starts off kinda slow but the second and third have some insane spots. That zoom-in on the piece of Dante's skin lying on the gurney was just disgusting. Though it's not just brutal hardcore spots, Dante and Killshot also take opportunities to show off their incredible lucha skills in between the glass and barbwire."
[10.0] "Hands down the best deathmatch I've ever seen period. I literally watched Moxley vs Omega's deathmatch, not even a few hours before watching this match and this match made the Omega vs Moxley deathmatch look tame in comparison to this all-out war. This is literally the first lucha underground match I've ever watched and have very little experience with lucha underground in general but I understood the stakes and hatred between these two perfectly as the first fall tricks you into thinking it'll be one of the more weaker deathmatches in terms on violence before blasting you with some insane shit during the 2nd and especially 3rd fall. This match is the perfect blend of insane spots, brutal violence, and feats of lucha athleticism in display here. Some of these spots live in my head rent free now like the piece of flesh on the stretcher or that final spot of fox falling through the glass panel, my god what an ending that was.... Please do yourself a favor and watch this match even if you're not a fan of death matches because it will blow you away and live in your head rent free and is definitely one of the most underrated matches of all time"
[10.0] "The best deathmatch I have seen in my life. Most of the time, deathmatches exist only for hardcore segments or spots but the story justified the stipulation and it had great moves which most deathmatches lack."
[10.0] "Amazing match. They did a great job in the ring, could be of the best Lucha Underground matches. This, and Vampiro vs Penta are top matches. (****1/2)."
[10.0] "Absolut geniales Match der beiden. Ich finde das "Death Matches" oftmals sehr "drüber" sind. In diesem Match war das absolut nicht so. Spots gut abgestimmt, alle Waffen sinnvoll eingebracht und nicht nur eingesetzt damit man die Waffe sozusagen abgeharkt hat. Gutes Ende für die sehr unterhaltsame Fehde."
[10.0] "One of my favorite matches ever. An Epic match that will never be forgotten. Awesome storytelling, fantastic crowds, Unbelievable Brutality, Insane spots, and wonderful pace. What else do you ask for if you love pro-wrestling? Man, it's so damn good. This is wrestling!"
[10.0] "The best Lucha Underground match ever and just one of the best death matches ever to. Some extremely nasty spots such as the Dante Fox losing a piece of his skin on the stretcher and the big ending with Dante falling off of the Balcony through four panes of Glass. Awesome match"
[10.0] "Legitimately the best wrestling match Lucha Underground has ever produced and takes my spot for MOTY for 2017, over the Omega-Okada Trilogy, Reigns vs Joe vs Strowman vs Lesnar and AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar. WALTER vs Dragunov in WXW, and Okada vs Shibata. Well done to both Shane Strickland and AR Fox man what a bottle of lightning"
[10.0] "Other than Atsushi Onita vs. Terry Funk I'm hard pressed to come up with a death match as legendary as this one. All that was really missing was the explosions! Otherwise it had everything you could ask for; a great story leading in, tremendous pacing, all the blood and guts you could want and absolutely incredible athleticism from Killshot and Fox. Fox in particular is out of this world great in this match (and had been all season); the fact that he remains a free agent these days is one of the most mystifying things in wrestling, even if you think some things from his past are controversial (they aren't). At least he can always say he had arguably the best death match in the history of a televised wrestling program and maybe even Lucha Underground. Aside from Grave Consequences, Angelico's famous leap and the Vampiro-Pentagon street fight, nothing else in the history of the promotion comes close to this."
[10.0] "I don't even have the words for that match, two former brothers wanting to kill each other delivering one of the best brutal matches ever, very high quality storytelling right there. They sacrificed their body for that bout and made the spots epic and memorable. I give them a 10 out of respect for what they've gone through in that match. Really incredible."
[10.0] "Wow just wow this match was one of the most epic brutal matches ever. Both wrestler they gave us a match that we will remember for years the spots were so dangerous and awesome at the same time. This match is dedicated to people who are saying that wrestling fake ."
[10.0] "Not for the squeamish KT faint of heart, this is an all out battle by two guys who told a great story. There are a half dozen ? OMG? spots and they all make sense can? t recommend this highly enough."
[9.0] "Frisch nach Omega vs. Moxley ist dieser Rewatch natürlich umso wertvoller gewesen. Insgesamt gab es vielleicht nicht ganz so viele verrückte Spots wie in dem Match von Full Gear, aber die Spots die es gab, waren mit das Verrückteste, was ich je gesehen hab. Zugegeben bin ich kein großer Death Match Fan und schaue nur sehr selten solche Matches an, aber hier hat man alles richtig gemacht. Das Match passte wunderbar zu der Geschichte der beiden und die Brutalität konnte daher glaubhaft verkauft werden. Die Spots mit dem Glas vor allem beim Finish waren einfach nur verrückt, und das Stück Haut, dass man auf der Transportliege finden konnte beschreibt dieses Match ganz gut. Das war ein tolles Ende einer der besten Fehden in Season 3 und auch generell eines der besten Matches von Lucha Underground. **** 1/2 (1)"
[10.0] "Decided to watch this match after it popped up on my YouTube recommendations which ended up being an amazing decision. 30 minutes of pure action from bell to bell with no rushing and only 2 commercial breaks (although the video I watched cut the commercials). I would recommend this to anyone who is even slightly a fan of hardcore wrestling because this was beautiful. Brutal spots, bloody, and good chemistry. They just weren't doing lifeless spots just to do them, this felt like a war. (*****)"
[10.0] "I wish I could give this a 20 to offset the MF'er who gave it a 1. This was one of my fav matches of the year. High level grappling and lucha mixed with some insane death match stuff. Usually american deathmatch a la czw is some fat yarder who'd get blown up running the ropes just doing dumb plunder this was not that"
[10.0] "Though not as brutal as some deathmatches over the years, it's execution is near flawless. The feeling that this match creates is something that I had never experienced, a deathmatch is usually a slow trot from spot to spot but this match flowed so well. Hats off to the two competitors for not only putting their bodies on the line, but for also keeping the match interesting through their wrestling ability."
[10.0] "Well I certainly wasn't expecting a match of this kind & quality from AR Fox & Shane Strickland! Goddamn, what an awesome grudge battle! They told a great story, the athleticism was great as expected from the two, the brutality was off the charts & the big spots came off as legitimate "holy shit" spots. Absolutely amazing stuff. As of now I think it's my pick for the best match in Lucha Underground's young history. A hell of a war, indeed! ****1/2"
[10.0] "Einfach nur ein krasses Gemetzel, mit dem beide Worker meine Erwartungen erfüllt und zum Teil gar getoppt haben. Ja, es war ein Spotfest und ebenfalls ja, Psychologie war da fast nicht zu erkennen. Ich bewerte deshalb hier nachdem, was dieses Match für Ultima Lucha Tres sein sollte und genau das wurde geliefert!"
[10.0] "Ein Wort: INSANE! Das hatte ich nicht auf dem Schirm. Schon gegen Anfang der Staffel wurde mir die Killshot/Fox Fehde wirklich sehr interessant aufgebaut. Dennoch blieben die großen Kollisionen und Story-Elemente (abgesehen von Video Segmenten) aus und die beiden zeigten zwar ein wirklich gutes, aber etwas kurzes [***½] Match. Aber hier als Hell of War kam einfach alles zum Einsatz und das auf eine grandiose Weise. Das First Blood Match war richtig gut gestaltet, fing somit mit ein Paar tollen Flugeinlagen und Tritt-Sequenzen an. Der erste "Fall" war dann ein einfach grandioser Spot durch das Glas, einfach atemberaubend und geil gemacht. Das No-DQ Match steigerte die Match-Qualität überraschenderweise sogar noch und zwar wie! Richtig flüssige Transitions, geile wrestlerische Sequenzen, als auch die gewohnte Animosität der Beiden mit geilen Facials. Dazu einem HO. LY SH*T 1-Count nach dem Double Foot Stomp, der zu einer Barb Wire Buckle Bomb (! ) führte. Kräftezehrend gönnen die beiden sich im Glas dann noch einen epischen Schlagabtausch mit fantastischen Low Key Momenten und steigern sich dann noch einmal im Stretcher/Ambulance Match zu absurderen Spots. DVD vom zweiten Seil und Double Foot Stomp AUF die Stretcher und wenn man dann dachte dass alles vorbei wäre, kommt noch einmal ein unfassbares Bloody Finish, bei dem man sich ernsthafte Sorgen um Dante Fox machen müsste. Episch ist dann, wie die Crowd still wird. Durchgängige "This is Awesome" Chants, aber bei dem Spot kräuseln sich die Nackenhaare und Fußzehen und auch Killshot beendet das Ganze noch etwas mild. Bemerkenswert ist hierbei die Never Die Attitüde der Beiden und das Verlangen den Körper auf's Spiel zu Setzen. In Der Form habe ich so ein Match noch nie gesehen. Für mich mit Puma/Mil UL1 das Beste Lucha Underground Match überhaupt (*****)."
[9.0] "Dante und Killshot gehen direkt in die Vollen und da ist es egal, dass sie drei Stages vor sich haben. Es reiht sich Spot an Spot und die Gegenstände werden wunderbar eingesetzt. Hohe Intensität und ein dazu passendes Pacing. Die Pinfalls haben alle ihre eigene Episode und die zweite ist schon krass blutig in Teilen. Die dritte serviert wieder krasse High Impact Spots. Absurde Sprünge zum Teil, getoppt vom finalen Spot. Nicht mein Fall, dass Rick Knox doch häufiger in die Gegenstände eingreift, aber viel Abzug kostet das nicht, zumal er ansonsten wie immer gut seine Rolle spielt. Großes Match und beide Worker mit absolut herausragenden Leistungen. (****½)"
[10.0] "Für mich das beste LU Match. Eine simple Story, die aber sehr gut erzählt wurde und eine Stipulation, die perfekt gepasst hat. Sehr brutal, mit vielen krassen Spots und auch sehr viel Blut. Hätte mir echt nicht gedacht, dass die zwei da so einen Klassiker raushauen, aber sie haben mich überzeugt. (****3/4)"
[9.0] "Good lord what a war this was! The story behind it is quite intriguing and boy they overdelivered my expectations even though it's Strickland & Fox. Crazy spot after crazy spot just in an attempt to destroy each other and make sure the other could not walk out alive. They killed it and set the bar super high for the rest of the Ultima Lucha matches to follow! (****1/2)"
[9.0] "Great match with Fox taking crazy falls into the barbed wire and the glass. The rivalry is over with a great last match between killshot and Dante Fox. ****1/2"
[5.0] "Starkes Match! In einem anderen Rahmen als LU hätte ich dem Match mit Sicherheit 9 Punkte gegeben, aber Fake-Crowds, Jump Cuts, einfach auftauchende Spot-Gerüste und zeitweise nachher eingespielte Kommentatoren ziehen das Ganze logischerweise runter. Da hilft es auch nicht, dass Fox (einer der schlechtesten Seller aller Zeiten) ein paar Mal im Match einfällt, dass sein Knie ja doch wehtut. Ansonsten von den Spots her war das erste Sahne! Trotz meines niedrigen Ratings eine Empfehlung wert, auch wenn LU einfach furchtbar produziert wird. Live waren das bestimmt ****, in dem "Zusammenschnitt" **1/2."
[9.0] "Zunächst einmal sollte gesagt sein, dass diese Ultima Lucha aufmachung sehr gut ist, denn wie hätte man diesen Match (in allen belangen) bitte folgen sollen wenn es das zweite Match einer Big Show wäre? Match war natürlich ein einziges Spotfest gespickt mit jeder Waffe die man sich nur so vorstellen kann. Stühle, Barbed Wire, Glas, Tische, Tragen und eine Leiter. Mein einziges Problem an diesem Match war die Länge. Natürlich sollte ein so mit Spots vollgepacktes Match ziemlich lange gehen, da es sonst viel zu Unrealistisch wird, aber das war mir als Gesamtes Match einfach etwas zu langwierig. Die Spots waren Awesome und Brutal und das Match ist für jeden Fan etwas, der außerhalb des Klassischen Wrestlings seinen Spaß haben will. **** 1/4"
[10.0] "It's Hell of a war.. what a match this was Dante fox and Ar fox both put their body in the line in this match.. And elements like Glass table and Barbed wire board have added more drama in the match.. Surely dante fox and Killshot are two of the best wrestlers in the world."
[10.0] "Dass man im Tempel harte Spots zu Gesicht bekommt ist allgemein bekannt, dass ab und an waschechte Death Matches auf der Tagesordnung stehen auch. Und zum Ende hin haben sich die zwei bitteren Rivalen Killshot und Fox wohl fest in den Kopf gesetzt, das brutalste und blutrünstigste Match des Tempels zu worken. Check, das ist ihnen gelungen. Von Beginn an ein hohes Tempo, ein Spot jagt den nächsten, wobei die Spots aber nie hirnlos aneinandergereiht waren, sondern stets sinnvoll die Matchstory weiterführten. Auch die jeweiligen Stipulations wurden nie missachtet, der Kampf war logisch aufgebaut. Eine Rarität im heutigen Wrestling-Amerika. Ganz besonders Dante Fox gebührt an dieser Stelle an Riesenlob! Wie der seinen Charakter verkörpert, wie der sich im Ring bewegt - und was er gewillt ist zu tun, um uns ein krasses Match abzuliefern! Viel zu kritisieren gibt es nicht: Zwei Cuts waren etwas ungünstig gesetzt, Killshot war nach der langen Dominanz von Fox zu schnell wieder zu fit und im Endspot wäre es noch cooler gewesen, wenn Fox auch von seinem Gegner geworfen worden wäre. Das ist allerdings Kritik auf sehr hohem Niveau. Im Endeffekt ein absolut erinnerungswürdiges, wenn auch wohl sehr ungesundes Match, für dass ich gerne sehr tief in die Sternetasche greife (****1/2)"
[9.0] "Schon ein Heel of War Match. Beide ja befreundet nur nicht bei dieser Liga und hatten schon ähnliche Situationen Fox Rücken blutete nach einen Fans Bring The Weapons ähnlich stark und bei Killshot ja Shane verkörpert den schon klasse auch er hatte schon brutale Momente erlebt Stichtwort MASADA. Trotzdem war das hier schon sehr brutal und hatte schon etwas Death Match Art gerade die Szene mit den Glasscherben. Die beiden wollten sich hier echt ins Krankenhaus prügeln. Einige sehr, sehr harte Szenen und absolut nichts für Leute die kein Blut sehen können. Der brutalste Moment für mich als Fox durch das Glas von locker 4-5 Meter krachte diese Glas Bumps sind so gefährlich das hatte schon CZW Stil. Gebe hier 9 Punkte."
[8.0] "Man, Lucha Underground is the new ECW, no doubt... I was hoping a lot from this match/rivalry and this definitively delivered. The use of the stipulations and weapons were great. Both guys managed to give the spectators an awesome combination of spots, hardcore wrestling and athletics/technique and the order of the stipulations really worked. After the second fall the match went slower than I expected but it was understandable due to the damage received, it was just the silent of the crowd that hardly imagined something more to come after all the previous massacre, maybe it was too much for them, us, who know... But at the end it was still a memorable and emotive outcome ****1/4."
[10.0] "This was so fantastically disgusting, and honestly one of the best Lucha Underground matches to date. The things these guys did to each other was so freaking insane it left me speechless. Glass, tables, ladders, chairs, barbed wire, stretchers and everything else, these guys put on probably the most violent match that has ever happened in the Temple. It wasn't just the weapons either, these guys did some crazy looking spots with their athleticism as well. I'm never going to get that final spot where Dante falls from the ledge out of my head for a long time. Both are extremely underrated in the indie scene, and this match just made them both stars, ****3/4."
[10.0] "Holy Shit! Zuerst einmal muss gesagt werden: Klar, Geschmackssache. Aber hier nur einen Punkt zu geben, weil die Spots zu brutal waren, finde ich übertrieben. Das Match war wahnsinnig spannend aufgebaut und man hatte das Gefühl, dass die beiden wissen was sie da tun und worauf sie sich einlassen, deshalb habe ich mir zu keinem Zeitpunkt des Matches Sorgen um die Gesundheit der Wrestler gemacht. Jede Aktion war sinnvoll und durchdacht und eine Fehde wie diese muss man eben nun mal auf diese eine Art und Weise beenden um sie glaubwürdig zu machen. Für mich definitiv ein Kandidat für das MOTY im amerikanischen Raum (****1/2)"
[1.0] "Puh, das war echt schwere Kost und ich war wirklich froh als das Match endlich vorbei war. Solch übertriebene Brutalität ist überhaupt garnicht mein Fall. Dabei fing das Match eigentlich ziemlich gut an, aber nach den ersten Scherben konnte mich das Match kaum noch unterhalten. Klar waren noch ein paar nette Moves dabei, aber größtenteils ging es einfach nur noch darum, sich mit immer noch brutaleren Spots zu überbieten, bishin zum komplett hirnverbrannten finalen Bump."
[10.0] "Have to agree with the consensus, this one was fantastic. Creative, bloody, and brutal, it was as crazy as we could have hoped for. A possible MOTY contender between two very talented guys, the final bump was out of this world and strong storytelling throughout."
