[9.0] "This match is such a damn guilty pleasure for me, I can't give it 10 due to it lagging a bit when the Shield were getting their asses kicked but Angle in swat gear, Booker T buring Angle on commentary, table spots, Angle hitting germans, Rollins selling his ass off, Strowman getting dumped into a garbage truck, Angle's heroic return and finally Miz being left by himself to get his ass kicked meant there was enough highlights in this match for me to love it. Also the crowd was hot for it the whole way through"
[3.0] "I thought this stunk. I'm incredibly confused on Dave's 4 and a quarter star rating for this. I mostly just thought this was incredibly boring and stupid. What's the point of a ladder match with nothing up for grabs? I hated the spots with Kane and Braun, it literally felt like watching a match in slow motion. (*1/2)"
[6.0] "During the 2010s, Gedo was almost guaranteed in for Booker of the Year because Vince was that bad. But in 2016, he faced his greatest challenge of that decade: mumps. The visual of Kurt making a Shield entrance with a massive grin on his face was pretty cool, but once the bell rang? Yeah, it was just an average match, honestly."
[5.0] "Lotta just meh, sorta unrealistic to me for these guys to even be losing to 3 people, and even with 8 guys still managed to be nice and slow at times"
[7.0] "This was a really messy match, but it was also pretty fun. Kurt Angle having to replace Roman was cool and him coming out in Shield gear was awesome. It starts off really well for the first 10 minutes, but it was too long with some parts being dull. ***1/2"
[7.0] "This match had two parts: some funny and destructive parts and some boring, slow parts. Angle's return at the end of the match was satisfactory and I remember some good spots from Rollins and Ambrose. On the other hand, some parts where Team Miz dominated were really slow and I almost fell asleep. Overall it can be enjoyable, if you turn off the brain and watch this as just an ignorant brawl, but it has its flaws"
[9.0] "This was actually insanely fun & the best of a bad situation with Reigns being out sick. It wasn? t really an important match or anything just a match for the fans to enjoy and have fun & it was a very fun chaotic match."
[7.0] "Another very long main event for a WWE PPV in 2017 that wasn't as long as the HIAC match between Owens and McMahon but was pretty close in terms of length, again I don't think it needed to be that long because the match would have been much more enjoyable if it had been shortened to have something more digestible to watch. Here you really have to take time and really want to see this match again to decide to watch it, I'd never seen it before so I forced myself to and frankly I quite enjoyed it. I didn't expect anything from it because of the negative feedback I've been reading about this main event for almost five years now so I had no expectations, and I have to admit that they managed to surprise me with some fun booking and solid action. Of course the team selection was strange, the three-on-five handicap match situation was strange as well and even more so when Ambrose & Rollins were left alone but that's the unique aspect I liked. It's not something you'll see every year, it was a bold decision on the company's part to book this and this was far from bad. Braun was a damn fucking star, we saw a lot of cool spots, I enjoyed the tension between Kane & Braun as well as Angle's return towards the end. There are obviously flaws like the first pin only popping up after thirty minutes as well as a couple of floating moments like that long heat on Seth & Dean in the middle of the match but overall I had a good time."
[9.0] "Great story creation, shield coming back, very good. But then Kurt Angle replaces Roman Reigns and infinite additions to the opposing team leave the match a mess. But the match went very well, but it wasn't The Shield."
[5.0] "This was a match that asked you to suspend your disbelief to ridiculous proportions. It just seems ridiculous in the beginning when 3 men can isolate one or two men while the other three or four are where? Add botched table spots to the mix and you have a potential disaster on your hands. Luckily not every big spot was botched, and some of them were fun, but it didn't make up for the ridiculousness, the peak of which was the garbage truck spot, which was the culmination of silly pettiness breaking the Miz's team apart to the point of smashing one of their own teammates in a trash compactor. SMH. WTF. This is one of those matches that makes you wonder what Meltzer was smoking when he rated it. **3/4"
[3.0] "Overlong and massively overbooked match. The video package before made it apparent that the return of Kurt Angle was going to be the story, making his return at the end all the more predictable. I enjoyed seeing him back in action, but he just didn't really have it like he used to."
[3.0] "Too much is worse than not enough. From the get-go, the match was overbooked with a 5 vs 3 format that seemd very arbitrary. Then, the novelty of The Shield reuniting got taken away by Roman's medical emergency, but replaced by the return to the ring of Kurt Angle, adding another element of overbooking, however cool it was. The match was very chaotic, but added yet another element of overbooking by having Kane and Strowman alternatively cooperating and fighting, leading to his entire team inexplicably betraying him and throwing him in a trash truck, a very illogical move. The match continued to devolve into nonsense, with Kurt Angle tendencies taking precedence after he came back from an injury carry-out, yet another overbooked moment, and finished the match. This match feels so artificial in many places, throwing obviously narrative tropes galore to force a moment, but coming more desperate than anything. Nice effort from everyone for sure, but this was way too much and oversatured me."
[9.0] "That was a fucking great surprise! Total mayhem. I love me some overbooked clusterfucks once in a blue moon, and thankfully that's what that match was. ****1/4."
[8.0] "Kurt Angle & Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins -vs- Braun Strowman & Cesaro & Kane & Sheamus & The Miz - (TLC Match; Handicap) [*** 3/4] I really enjoyed the free-spirit violence of the TLC bout. Playful and motivated, keeping the energy up the entire length of the brawl. They didn't over-think the whole idea and simply went for some cool moments in between a straight forward thrashing."
[7.0] "This match was really bizarre and overbooked. Not only was the stipulation very unusual, but due to unforseen circumstances, the focus of the contest shifted from The Shield reunion to Kurt Angle's unpredictable return. Plus Kurt in a Shield getup has to be seen to be believed. The Shield takes control early and manages to overcome the numbers game using weapons and two very impressive ladder dives. The heels eventually regain control, by taking out Kurt and beating the shit out of Seth and Dean for a long time. Things get more complicated when a garbage truck gets added to the equation, as comebacks, infighting, returns and generally chaotic (and sometimes sloppy) wrestling ensues. After about 35 minutes we get a clean finish to this messy but ultimately entertaining match. ***1/2"
[6.0] "A good match this wasn't, a fun clusterfuck though? Oh yeah. If WWE did shit like this more often they'd be doing better business. There were high spots, beatdowns that went on forever, rest times that went on for waaaay too long, 'injuries' and returning from such (something Ive noticed happens too often now), and even murder by crushing. This had a lot of great nonsense in it and I thought Kurt looked good enough (certainly better then Bret when he had his return 'match'). It did go on for a little too long. As an actual match its probably like a ** 1/2, but it entertained me enough for me to give it a *** 1/4"
[2.0] "Stipulation: It was the main event of a PPV called TLC which didn`t have any other tables, ladders or chair matches on the card. A TLC match would have been nice but instead a No DQ match was called by the (German) announcers TLC match. Storytelling:The return of the real American Hero was pushed. Everybody knew that he has to win it. He was injured early in the match in order to get the obvious return later in the match. Atmosphere: However, the time in between was just to long for my taste and the taste of the audience who demanded to have other wrestlers on screen during their chants. Psychology: The heel team were long time in control without any pin attempt. They weren`t also really interested in winning the match since their leader (The Miz) has ordered a garbage truck in order to dispose of the their opponent. If this would have been successful, the heel team wouldn`t have won. Was the plan to go to the public kip in order to make a final pin attempt? Performance: Sloppy... Outcomes: The main monster has shown weaknesses and looks less intimidating. 2 1/2 people were able to bury 5 other wrestlers. The IC champ was presented as weak which didn`t do the title any favour. The most protected guy is somebody who will only compete every now and then (Angle) Multiple wrestlers were presented as they are unable to carry a match since the match fell completely apart. 1 or 2 matches between the members of the heel times could come out of it."
[7.0] "Schnell wird klar, dass Shield vielleicht doch größer als Angle ist. Stipulation wird direkt genutzt, anders kann man der Unterzahl auch nicht Herr werden. Das Pacing ist passend, die Selling-Pausen direkt sehr lang. Das Numbers Game ist mit der Besetzung um Strowman & Co einfach absurd und unausgeglichen. Da kann man fast froh sein, dass Reigns nicht Teil davon ist. Die 5 on 2-Phase stören doch eher und auch der gebrochene Kurt hilft nicht. Die Spots sind teilweise arg konstruiert und auch das Kane/Strowman-Duell und die Kollateral-Schäden machen nicht wirklich glücklich. Bleibt abzuwarten, was sie aus Strowman machen. Das völlig überraschende Angle Comeback ist auch aus dem Standard-Repertoire. Die Aufräumaktion auf der Rampe hat zwar Charme, aber das fühlt sich nicht so rund an, wie es hätte sein können. Good Feel Finish inklusive. Sei’s drum. (***½)"
[6.0] "Ich tue mir etwas schwer mit dem Match. Einerseits schon gut, andererseits aber viel zu lang und daher vor allem im Mittelteil langweilig. Angle ist motiviert und hat Spaß, sein Körper gibt allerdings nicht mehr so viel her. Ich gebe mal 6 Punkte, da ich die Langeweile im Mittelteil dann doch stärker in Erinnerung habe, als die guten Spots, die es ja definitiv auch gab."
[7.0] "Also ich fand das Match sehr unterhaltend , viele gute Spots und kurt Angle sah ebenfalls gut aus. ich fand das balor vs styles match jedoch etwas besser deshalb sind es für mich ***3/4"
[7.0] "WWE really put their big production wheels on and came out with this quite refreshing and different match. It was really the the type of entertainment, that reminded me a bit of the old Attitude-era multi man matches, when anything could happen during a match. Still of course the violence was very family friendly and softcore here. Angles comeback, the creative chair spot with Kane/Strowman and the garbage truck taking out Strowman were pieces of this wild storyline match. All of those put a smile on my face. Still the match had maybe too many participants in it. Ambrose and Rollins could have really showcased something new with the TLC gimmick as a team, if it wasn´t for this odd ball booking. It was really a mix of different stuff, kinda hard to rate as a match. I really expected even some high risk stuff from modern WWE instead of the dull table spots, but i dont know. Still the highlight of the night for me after quite boring undercard. With some polishing it could have been more compelling, but it worked as the big production Kurt Angles "feel good" main event."
[8.0] "Wirkt einerseites wie eine Hommage an das erste TLC zwischen dem Shield und Bryan, Kane und Ryback von vor fünf Jahren, nur mit umgekehrten Vorzeichen. Shielder sind Face, Kane gibt im übermächtigen Team den Heel. Insofern ist es wirklich schade, dass gerade Reigns hier ausfallen musste. Aber Angle bringt dann den zweiten wichtigen Faktor ein, der das Match einstweilen wie eine Hommage an die Attitude-Ära wirken lässt. Nicht nur durch solche Aktionen wi den Mülltruck hatte ich das Gefühl im Jahr 2000 zu sein. Nostalgie kam besonders auf, als ich den GM und the big red machine im Ring sah. Sehr cooler Moment. Den Sieg hätte ich fast Miz gegönnt, aber mit den Tag-Champs hat man bis nächstes Jahr wohl noch das ein oder andere vor. Insgesamt war das, trotz einiger Längen beim zwischenzeitlichen Verkloppen, ein sehr unterhaltsame und generatiosübergreifender Nostalgietrip, der auch seine trashig-augenzwinkernde Story bestach."
[6.0] "Als Ersatzmann für Reigns reaktiviert man Angle sicherlich früher, als ursprünglich angedacht. Der macht im Shield-Outfit auch gleich eine akzeptable Figur, handelt zwar altersbedingt hölzern, aber noch knapp authentisch. Natürlich muss man den Altmeister bei einer Partie dieser Gangart dann vorübergehend aus dem Match schreiben, und doch gönnt man ihm am Ende dieses Finish. Das alles ist aber nur ein Teilaspekt, denn das Match hat auch deutliche Schwächen. Es ist zu lang, mit zu wenig Qualität, das sind irgendwie nur wenig nachhaltige Beatdowns in reihe geschaltet. Die Plausibilität der unkaputtbaren Rollins & Ambrose in dieser numerischen Konstellation ist nicht gegeben. Der Müllwagen ist ein ausserhalb der Attitude-Era kaum wirksamer Kniff und die Attacke von Kane auf Strowman muss erst noch erklärt werden, sollte dies nicht bereits Plan B für Wrestlemania einleiten und einen Turn des Riesen darstellen, um ihn statt eines langfristiger erkrankten Reigns noch einmal auf Lesnar loszulassen. Viele Fragezeichen zu einer Partie im knapp grünen Bereich, die nicht gerade dafür sorgen, dass man das Match besser konsumieren kann. Geschenkt, sechs Punkte von mir."
[7.0] "This match was a clusterfuck, there's no other way to describe it. There are some good moments and an excellent opening ten minutes but the match just went on too long and was overbooked to hell. Despite this, it's still worth a watch, there's enough good here to keep you entertained, and it's good to see Kurt Angle back in a WWE ring, especially when he was throwing those beautiful suplexes. (***1/2)"
[4.0] "Dauerte viel zu lang, machte über lange Strecken keinen Sinn was so die Nummer Kane und Strowman angeht und war für mich sehr langweilig. Keine Ahnung, ob es mit Reigns besser gewesen wäre; vermutlich aber lebhafter."
[8.0] "I was expecting a car wreck and we got one. Angle played his limited role well but I do think this match would be even better with Roman Reigns instead. I enjoyed the babyfaces actually having a plan like Seth Rollin's early pawn sacrifice. While I do think that the heels turning on Strowman was a dumb move (if I was in the Miz' spot I would have chose Strowman over Kane) it at least made the babyface comeback more plausible. (****)"
[6.0] "Match war in Ordnung, gehört aber sicher bei weitem nicht zu den beseren seiner Art, eher mehr zu den schwächeren. Es ging ziemlich und da ist auch das erste Problem. Es gab doch etwas an Leerlauf. Zudem ist das Match komplett overbookt. Das kann oft gut aber auch schlecht. Von Partnern die sich die Birne wegprügeln bis zum Müllwagen der Strowman entsorgt. Angle doch gewaltig an Rost angesetzt. Wirkte doch gewaltig hölzern bei seinen Bewegungen und es sah so aus als könnte er bei einem Bump doch auseinanderbrechen. Hoffe wir werden ihn nicht mehr allzu oft im Ring sehen. (siehe Hart & Flair z. B. ) Zudem fehlte auch das gewisse etwas dem Match. Die Triple Powerbomb am Ende war nett. (3 1/4*)"
[5.0] "Overlong at 30+ minutes with a dull as dishwater center that helped no one. There were some crazy spots and Kurt in Shield gear has to be seen to be believed. A crowd pleasing ending helped save the blushes. It was a clusterfuck but an enjoyable clusterfuck. **3/4"
[8.0] "It was chaotic and ridiculous, sure. And it ran just a little long. Personally I spent most of it worried Kurt was gonna hurt himself because we all know he's not in the best shape in 2017 and probably shouldn't be doing even the gentlest of table spots. But in the end, it was fun wrestling nonsense, and on a personal level absurdity is what got me into this pastime in the first place. Maybe a match like this is a good litmus test for what you like from pro wrestling. It wasn't perfect, but I loved it and that's really all you can ask."
[8.0] "This was a clusterfuck but it was an entertaining clusterfuck. I expected a lot from this match considering the amount of talent in it and it disappointed wrestling wise but it did not disappoint fun wise. These guys were everywhere. In the ring, ringside, the stage, even a garbage truck. It had spots that made me say "holy shit" spots that made me laugh, and spots that were just awesome. If you want to enjoy this match you have to pretend logic doesn't exist because this was very illogical. Why was there a garbage truck? Why did Kane attack Strowman therefore weakening his chances of winning? Why did Team Miz kill Braun Strowman by throwing him into the garbage truck? Why did WWE kill Braun Strowman like 4 times this year? Overall, if you can get passed the dumbness of some of the moments and booking, this is a really fun match, ****."
[8.0] "Highly entertaining clusterfuck, both Kane and Strowman were really good and Strowman proved again that he is a beast, The Bar and both Rollins and Ambrose were really good here and Angle's comeback was a thing of beauty, oh and there's Miz... , i liked the Kane spot with the chairs and all, but hated the trash truck thing. Considering the plans needed to be changed because Reigns was unable to compete, they did a very nice strange car crash. ***3/4."
[6.0] "This was an extremely messy match, even disregarding Roman's removal. Angle was incredibly awkward. He took very bad bumps and looked lost the whole time. His individual spots were still cool from a nostalgia sense, but apart from them he looked totally out of place. My major issue was with the "injuries", which were written totally according to convenience. Some times wrestlers would spend what feels like 10 minutes away from the action selling an injury, then jump right back in when the script demanded it. This took a lot of excitement out from since it was then obvious that anything significant could easily be altered by someone rushing into the frame out of nowhere. This happened constantly throughout the match and undervalued everything since such interferences were essentially deus ex machina. This is always the case with WWE's multi-man matches, sadly. The fact that this was a multi-man match also meant there were lots of awkward brawling moments where no-one knew who to target, leading to lots of weak and confusing attacks. Finally, the match was just overbooked to hell. The dual announce table spot, Angle's injury and removal, Strowman's (cartoonish) betrayal, the garbage truck, Kane's chair pile on Strowman, Angle's return, etc. These various booked spots instead felt as if included just to fit a "big match" checklist rather than being individually important. An alright match from a 'car-crash' standpoint, but badly written with only second-rate work. ***"
[7.0] "Just a wild clusterfuck of a match. This match would've been so much better if it had just been like 10-15 minutes shorter. The match pacing relied solely on Kurt as this was his return match, and thus affected the heat once he was taken out. Then we get this nonsensical fighting between Kane and Braun which leads to an actual live murder. Rollins and Seth bumped all over the place as usual. Angle makes his triumphant return and then wrecks the place then finally pins Miz for the win. This wasn't a good match by any means, nor was it a terrible match either, it was just a crazy and overbooked roller coaster trainwreck that was nothing harmful. I imagine the match as if you took a bunch of different colored gallons of paint and then threw them all against a blank canvas. There is no clear picture, some of the paint mixtures look cool, and some don't, but it is interesting to look at if you're bored for a few minutes, ***3/4."
[4.0] "Cr@p, there aren't other words to describe it. Chaotic not in a good way, botches, nonsense and you saw they had no idea what to do from half of the match on."
[9.0] "I loved this match so much. It was an absolute clusterfuck, which is exactly what it should have been. I love Kane getting a spotlight and I'm really excited to see a program between him and Braun, because while it's not as useful as working Taker, its good for Braun to work big men like Kane now while he's younger so he can learn. Kurt looked great here and never tried to overshadow the young guys (not that I expected him to). I thought the finish was great and put the babyfaces over while still making it feel like they were underdogs and worked for their victory. Sure the match dragged a lot in the middle and wasn't a traditionally great match, but I loved this from start to finish. One of the best WWE matches I've seen all year. (****½)"
[7.0] "Hier wurde wirklich alle typischen Vince McMahon Booking Ideen ausgepackt und fast schon parodiert: Ein zusammengewürfeltes Heel Team in der Überzahl, was sich natürlich zerstreitet, Faces gewinnen AGAINST ALL ODDS, einer der Faces wird verletzt raus gebracht und kehrt zur finalen Phase des Matches zurück (gab es mit Lesnar & Nakamura allein dieses Jahr bereits zweimal zuvor), dazu absoluter Trash (in wörtlichen Sinne) mit Strowman und dem Mülltransporter. Das war wirklich Wrestling-Bullshit von der lustigen und unterhaltsamen Art. ***1/2"
[7.0] "This is how to have a good match without the promised Shield reunion. Kurt Angle is not in one of his typical matches but he does a great job. The rivalry between Strowman and Kane is an interesting story for the match. Some bumps and a lot of action for a long main event with a typical dominance ending. Enjoyable. ***1/2"
[9.0] "This was very overwhelming in a good way though. I think they played the story very well here. I can't even imagine what this match was going to be without Kurt since he was the focus. I like these multi men matches in WWE and I feel like their best matches need this kind of structure to work. Car crash is their style. At the end, it was better than I expected and Kurt, though showing signs of aging, was pretty decent in his role."
[6.0] "I have no idea what I'm meant to feel here, there's just too much stuff that happened here. Since when have there been pinfalls in a TLC match, what's this whole Strowman/Kane stuff, the garbage truck stuff was ridiculous, just a mess and I'm not sure if it was a good mess or bad. I felt everything when Angle was present was enjoyable, the EXTREMELY LONG period of the 5 destroying Ambrose and Rollins didn't make a whole lot of sense, they could have just pinned them within maybe 5 minutes. I don't really know what I expected from this match in the first place and this basically just confirmed my confusion. This isn't something I'll watch again, slightly disappointing but not really that boring. I just don't know. (***1/4)"
[9.0] "I loved this match. Pure insanity as it should be. Without Roman, there was really no story anymore so they just went all out with crazy shit. Not all of it was great, but I enjoyed it. The first half of the match was awesome. The second half is when it got a little much, but then when Angle returned it got great again. I was entertained ****1/4"
[8.0] "Verstehe die schlechten Bewertungen hier nicht. Ich betrachte das Match als spaßigen Clusterfuck. Die Story im Match hat Sinn ergeben und die Crowd war auch richtig invested. Ich fand das Match auch nicht zu lang, da ein 8-Man TT-Match in meinen Augen die 30-Minuten Grenze im ME auch mal überschreiten kann. Finish, Heel-Team beeft sich und Angles Return waren okay. Auch wenn das Match etwas unorganisiert gewirkt hat, gab es einige gute Spots und so war ich mit dem ME auf jeden Fall zufrieden. (****)"
[9.0] "First of all, I really liked Angle coming out with The Shield gear on. A wonderful character touch since Angle used to do goofy shit like that all the time during his first WWE run. Then the actual match - it was such a cluster, but I really loved it. Ambrose & Rollins were on fire from start to finish - super strong performances by them, The Miz played his role to absolute perfection & the rest of the guys did their parts very well too. I liked all the twists & turns - Angle getting out of the match after getting destroyed by Braun was great & his eventual comeback with his own music was a goosebumps worthy moment - him just throwing all the bad guys around w/ his signature Suplexes & Angle Slams ruled. The Braun/Kane angle was also executed really well & made Braun look badass as usual. I feel like this match could've been even better had Reigns been able to compete, but goddamn, I still had such a blast watching this. Super enjoyable stuff. ****"
[8.0] "The hate for this match is ridiculous! It like y'all hate fun. This was a great, fun overbooked car crash brawl with attitude era vibe. Do you really expect a friggin technical or NJPW type match with 3 on 5 TLC match? Stop saying that this doesn't make sense or it too unrealistic whatever and just enjoy this sport entertainment! I was sport entertained as hell!"
[7.0] "Complete, unadulterated, nonsense. I've zero desire to ever see this again, but watching live I had decent fun. A lot of suspension of disbelief with guys randomly disappearing or getting KO'd forever, though. It was designed to be a disasterpiece spectacle, and compared to Owens/McMahon earlier this month, it was definitely superior."
[8.0] "Quite slow at parts, but it turned out pretty damn good by the end. Excellent character work, twists, and moments. A bit too long maybe. But it was worth it. The truck thing was quite crazy. Very good main event."
[7.0] "Das Match ging deutlich zu lang, und irgendwie musste ja ein Twist kommen, um den Sieg für die Faces zu ermöglichen. Auf der Habenseite stehen allerdings irre Performances von Ambrose und Rollins, wo vor allem letzterer wahrscheinlich in Summe noch nie so viele Spots getätigt hat, einige Mark-Out-Moments und eine stark inszenierte zweite Luft von Angle, der recht eingerostet wirkte, aber trotzdem seinen Teil erfüllte. Wie man hier sieht, ist das Match extrem schwierig zu bewerten."
[0.0] "This is one of the worst WWE Main Events I've ever seen for a PPV. A lot of stuff made no sense and the continuity was awful. Bad storytelling, bad wrestling, bad rehearsal. I have no idea how badly the match was written before Roman was known to be absent and how worse it became. You had 2 guys punching at 4 guys in a crowd, but they're only hitting 2 of them but the other 2 guys who aren't being hit, sell the punches... This is negative star material."
[5.0] "Schwer so ein Match wirklich zu bewerten. Insgesamt steh ich nicht wirklich auf diese Multi Man Spot Fests in Main Events, zumal es meistens keine mir ersichtliche plausible Struktur, noch tiefergehende Geschichte gibt. Geprägt von der Rückkehr des Gold Athleten, startet das Match ziemlich feurig. Schön wie Ambrose & Rollins in alter Manier agieren, gutes Pace, tolles Representing und jeder macht mit. 2 starke Bumps folgen, aber dann kam das was man erwartet hatte. Sobald die Heels Kontrolle übernehmen wird das Match unfassbar langweilig und zäh. Angle nimmt keinen Bump? Denkste! Naja, übliche Story mit angeblicher Referee Stoppage. Rollins & Ambrose sellen sich die Seele kalt, aber machen für knapp 15 Minuten das Gleiche immer wieder. Dann fängt es auch noch an im Gegner Team zu bröckeln. Angle macht den Safe und die Faces gewinnen. Hier ist einfach zu viel los, ohne das man mitkommt, im Gegenzug viel zu wenig los, sodass das Match eintönig und monoton wirkt. Lang gestreckt, vollkommen over booked, aber trotzdem macht es irgendwie Spaß (**½)."
[0.0] "The worst match in WWE history, without any sarcasm. No action was logical, the moves were empty and mediocre, the wrestlers behaved like dumbheads and idiots. Booking is terrible, Kane is terrible, Braun is terrible, Angle is terrible, Shield is terrible. The company once again showed its disregard for the fans. A disgusting match (-*****)"
[8.0] "Diese wirklich lange Match hat mich durchgehend unterhalten, was das Wichtigste ist. Darüber, dass man Angles Debüt hier in der Not ohne Aufbau verpulverte darf man sich dennoch ärgern. Nichtsdestotrotz hat man einen würdigen Main Event hingelegt, bei dem durch das Booking und den Verlauf auch die unterlegenen Heels nicht zu schwach davon kommen. Der Zwist zwischen Strowman und Kane (und den übrigen Teammitgliedern) hätte allerdings besser erzählt werden können."
[6.0] "Good lord, what WAS this? ! It was like an overbooked Attitude Era car crash recreated in WWE 2K18 with modern wrestlers. The GM of Raw being inserted into the match was one of the LEAST ridiculous things about it. The first 10 minutes or so were also easily the best part of the match because they kind of made sense and were full of fun brawling and great spots. After that, though... I have nothing but questions. Why are Rollins and Ambrose making big babyface comebacks after being beaten down 5 on 2 for 5 minutes? Why didn't Team Miz go for pinfalls or finishers at all while beating them down 5 on 2 for 5 minutes? Why was The Miz trying to put Rollins and Ambrose intoa trash truck before they won the match? Why does Kane try to murder Strowman simply because he shoved him earlier? Why did Team Miz put their own teammate into the trash truck that they were saving for their opponents? JUST... WHY? ! WHY DID ANY OF THIS HAPPEN? ! If you enjoy logical storytelling, avoid this match like your life depends on it. If you like your wrestling dumb, loud, violent, and lacking in any kind of emotional connection, watch this RIGHT NOW. This was the Citizen Kane of stupid bullshit that makes no sense. I enjoyed watching it as it happened, but I have no desire to ever watch it again."
