1 Called Manders vs. Broski Jimmy vs. Charles Mason vs. Joey Janela vs. John Wayne Murdoch vs. Jordan Oliver vs. Kasey Catal vs. Microman vs. Nick Gage vs. Shane Mercer

[4.0] "Classic GCW overbooking. This was a cool idea but the execution led to uneven segments. Then after all this you have TWO cash in attempts. Silly."

[6.0] "The ending stretch of Mason vs. Gage > Gage vs. Jimmy > Jimmy vs. Joey > fake Cole cash-in > real Mancer cash-in is honestly the closest any 2024 promotion will get to successfully doing a 90s ECW bit. The ECW Arena mutants would have been going insane for this. So would I."

[8.0] "I thought this was a blast. Starting it as a deathmatch and transitioning into normal mat stuff was different. I'm partial to Mercer so I would've liked to see him in there longer. Same for Kasey - this is (I think) the first time JWM has beaten her in many tries, and it happened with little fanfare in a gauntlet. But I loved the laughably overbooked ending - way too much happened, and yet every character reacted exactly as you'd expect them to. It wasn't overbooked just to be overbooked, it made sense. I had a feeling Radrick wasn't going to get involved which would've been a bad decision, but they found a way to work him in. Very fun if you like chaos."

[7.0] "I saw a long comment rated 10 from CageMatch. I thought this game was amazing, but after watching it, I felt like it was just average. In the first thirty minutes, I almost fell asleep.When Nick Gage arrived, which made it look better"

[7.0] "Gauntlet matches are always hard for me to rate. Started strong with Catal and Murdoch. Likewise I though Manders and Murdoch was also very good. Microman doesn't do anything for me personally so his portions were unimpressive. Mercer vs Oliver was very impressive. Oliver vs Mason showed Oliver's babyface fire while making Mason look like a psychopath. Crowd was really behind Gage for his part of the match. Felt like the ending to Broski Jimmy and Gage was kind of lackluster. Crowd hated Lloyd and Cardona as seen by the throwing of garbage into the ring (hate that due to the accident at BOLA a few years back) and good use of the fake show ending. Janela came in and won quickly making it overall an enjoyable match."

[6.0] "A pretty overrated match and a meh ending to this show overall. This was just a chaotic mess which was good but I couldn't really get into it that much. 6/10"

[9.0] "although conceptually overbooked this angle sets up like seven canonically big time matchups in the span of about 30 minutes. just a total crash tv soap opera spectacle of a main event that left you excited for whatevers next."

[8.0] "I was not a big fan of the way they stripped Blake Christian of the championship but this match was an enjoyable way to get to a new champion that kept going playing off of people that also had title shots in their back pocket like Cole and Mance. The story was all involved were names picked by Cardona and all are pretty logical choices to have been in. It would have been reasonable to expect Janela/Gage to end the show with it but I liked the way they teased Lloyd winning. Mance has been doing good work since the heel turn and there are a lot of different directions they can now go with him as champion."

[9.0] "yes I am being Biased here. I got to see so many of my favorites square off. it for sure lived to the hype for me. gonna review with the CAPSing the first two and then adding V for the next person comming out and that part. JWM V KASEY CATAL. JWM coming out first after winning the TOS was kinda funny but damn did he make the must of IT. this was a nice warm up and didn't over stay its welcome. solid chemistry with nice spots. V MANDERS was where JWM took a beating. Manders shined with JWM looking roughed up even more. was shocked when manders didnt win. V MICRO MAN this made the manders elimination make sense. Was JWM the perfect victim to micro man? hell yeah. soon as he came out, I was like "everyone losses to microman at least once in there career" LOL was short and microman looked solid. Steph Delanders reaction from ringside was fucking golden. V SHANE MERCER perfect foil to microman with everyone automatically remembering Mercer throws people has is specialty. micro played scared here well. I think Mercer was a solid entrant here as he was with Blake and hes just a fucking unit. mercer looked like he was gonna throw microman then looked like he realized he hated the crowd LOL he still ended it with a pretty fucking dope move from the top with Microman in his arms V JORDAN OLIVER this was dope & did seem to set Oliver up for the next match as beaten bad and him squeaking by. was kinda wild Mercer kicked outta two back to back finishers from Oliver but Mercer is like I said, a fucking unit. ill let it slide. V CHARLES MASON fuck did Jordon Oliver make Mason look so fucking good here. thats not to say Mason wasnt fine himself as he was great but Oliver just sold Masons scum bagginess so fucking well like the bites in the corner. was a great shock when mason won here V NICK GAGE NG coming out was awesome. and did fool peoples expectations so well thinking he was getting the title. this was short and sweet. Mason took a fucking beating while being cut up. like he got fucking bloodied quick. but he also looked like a g. major props there. V JIMMY LLOYD okay no hate to jimmy at all and this is probably the reaction he wanted (im also a big fan) but when deathmatch royalty made him the final entrant cause they voided gages win techinincly voided or the just continued the match (one or the other, I dont care) my heart sunk. I was like whyyyyyyyy surly not. the people throwing trash in was great as well. deathmatch royalty played to so well. V JOEY JANELA yes this was predictable. but if you were following weeks in advanced, they executed this great. and as long as jimmy wasnt getting the title. everyone was going home happy. solid end to the match. AFTER JOEY WINS Cole coming out with the brass ring had me hyped. I was like you know what, take that shit Raddy. joey probably would have respected it as long it wasnt done dirty. Then BAM Steph spears him through a table. It leaves this match on a great cliff hanger as it's like why is Steph helping Joey, no shot this is a face turn. so what? V MANCE MFING WARNER I know this isn't apart off the match but it technically is and I cant rate the match itself cause it was a cash in and rightfully short. but in the confusion, of Steph spearing radrick, it cuts to mance all bug/wide eyed stalking his pray, Joey. he looked like he went through hell and yet a pycho on a mission. like Jason Vorhees without the birth deformities and maskless, hunting the final girl in the Friday the 13th movies. didnt need to be anything special as Mance being there after all that was enough hype and they knew it. well fucking done. They hinted at DMR maybe helping at the show before this weekend but it was like a theory and unconfirmed and I think it just fit so fucking well here. im honestly so fucking happy for ol mancer and I cant wait to boo the shit outta him like the true scum bag he is haha EDIT: WAS A 10 ON 1ST WATCH. match itself is still good but I think the entrants being a surprise helped and I boosted it from the cash in which on second watch, isn't apart of the match.. on rewatch, I still enjoy it but with the entrants known this time and results, I feel like I was able to rate better and less of a fanboy head. high 8 that im rounding to a 9 as im still am a fan of and impressed with a lot of people here. Im softer on the Joey entrant as I know they were swerving expectations for the Mance cash in as it was done pretty quick as was Lloyd v Gage but tbh they didnt really need to be anything as they were mainly going for the swerves. Oliver v Mercer was probably the slow spot but it was fine as it had better pure wrestling"
