Frankie Kazarian vs. Hammerstone vs. KUSHIDA

[6.0] "Alex Hammerstone could be huge. His unique blend of charisma, size, and skill is hard to deny. He's capable of being a megastar if TNA can replicate the success MLW had with him. He and Kaz had great charisma and pairing the two together could be impressive."

[6.0] "I enjoyed this Ultimate X qualifier, particularly the unpredictability. Kazarian went into it with the best build, talking about Option C, Kushida with the best high-flying credentials and near the end cleverly feinted with mist prep, only for Hammerstone to win anyway."

[6.0] "this was a good match that built intrigue for Hammerstone going out of his element in Ultimate X. KUSHIDA looked great"

[4.0] "Hammerstone is such an 80s throwback I can't help but like him even though he is a bit crap. His attempts to club shots on Kazarian while he was bent double were almost comical in this. The fake mist shot that led to the finish was a little too clever for its own good and did not really work."

[5.0] "i am absolutely loving these x division 3 way qualifiers. And this one was also great. I just think they got it wrong. The correct winner here is kazarian. I would have even accepted kushida. But hammerstone just makes zero sense. I get kazarian and kushida may be starting a little whatever bull crap for the upcoming ppv. But what does that do for anyone? No one gains anything from that. Have kushida win then kaz attacks after then just have hammerstone and EY have a rematch at the PPV. Hammerstone did not look good in this match imo. He just seemed sloppy and honestly a bit lazy. Eh."

[6.0] "Solid opener to the show. The match didnt go too long but ended up being solid overall with some good action. Hammerstone in Ultimate X should be interesting."
