There's so much sense of urgency from either to win the match, and the bell rings and this thing just ends. The mat work at the beginning is a little dull, but very good, and the strikes are as stiff as hell, even by Nakajima standards. This just needed a conclusion. 3.75 Stars."

[7.0] "A pretty fun Tag Team Triple Threat here. I'm glad DIY got the win here, though I feel as though they might be turning heel soon, especially considering what happened with Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell later in the show. Either way, Awesome Truth being World Tag Team Titles is cool, but I'd really like DIY to have a title reign."

[6.0] "A fairly solid match that could have been a bit more, in my opinion. Either way, it's great to have Sheamus back and it's especially cool to hear that his old theme song is back as well. Ivar had a solid showing as well, so I can't complain much about him losing."

[4.0] "An easy victory for HoT to let them go to the main-event to have a glorious babyface victory in the last match. Just another short and bland HoT bout, everyone wrestled like always but at the very least there wasn't anything particularly terrible here. **1/4"

[6.0] "I expected this to be and easy win for UE but at the end Chaos got, probably because of Tanahashi in my opinion. Newman and Akira would have benefited of the victory of this tournament but I understand that this show was built as an house style one, also the quality was good enough so I suppose that ok. ***1/4"

[7.0] "Fun comedy match. Ikemen and Tachibana's antics were light-hearted and entertaining, while still doing enough actual wrestling to make this more than just a spectacle. Yuu and Hash looked as strong as they could against men. This finished in a draw, as it should have. Enjoyed this a lot more than expected. 7/10"

[3.0] "Not the hottest ending to this show, unfortunately. Felt like a very sloughing removal of the uniqueness that permeated this show, retreating back into the normalcy of overambition that you will find on the 2024 USA indy circuits. Jason Kincaid, although i do love his efforts, slows the match down a considerable amount. [2.5]"

[7.0] "A good main event that ended Naito's championship reign to a more deserving guy like Moxley. First off, their match is kind of underwhelming. IWGP World Championship matches are the most important match that NJPW ever had, and I just don't like how the title is presented much nowadays. Again, the lack of star power sets back NJPW and its world championship matches. Okada and Ospreay gone from NJPW, Naito not on his peak anymore, Tanahashi is semi-retired with bad knees. I really hope they could manage to recover from this, it seems that we are experiencing the dark days of NJPW again. Anyway, love how Naito trying to test Moxley's patience here, just typical Naito. Naito continuously spat and taunt Moxley just to piss him off more. In retaliation, Naito getting a DDT on the apron by Moxley and Moxley doing the Tranquilo pose to add insult to injury. Naito hitting the steel chair on Moxley and a neck breaker on the apron causing him to bleed, typical Moxley as usual. Moxley dripping with blood for the rest of the match. Although I have one question about this, why they didn't DQ'd Naito here especially the referee saw it on his own eyes. This is one problem by NJPW, and they never call a disqualification quite often. Moxley Curb Stomping Naito reminiscent from Yota Tsuji's brutal Curb Stomps on Sakura Genesis to add some story into it. There are some work on Naito's neck by Moxley. The closing stretch consisting of Destinos and Death Riders with a third Death Rider successfully got the victory. Glad that they awarded the title to someone who is not a full-time wrestler from NJPW. Let's see how good Moxley's title reign would be. ***3/4"

[5.0] "Finn is great but I really don't like Jey's performance in the ring, just like his brother! nothing special or exciting happens in his matches, and it's just always the same boring routine! Finn carried this short match and made it just acceptable. (**1/2)"

[5.0] "Without the controversies surrounding to Jack Perry, this would be a dull match. First off, mad props to Jack Perry for inciting the Chicago crowd. Perry not paying attention to the match and just insulting the crowd is simply spectacular. This isn't Perry vs Umino, this is more likely Perry vs Chicago and I loved it. Unfortunately, this sets back their match together with the crowd just crapping on Perry. Poor Umino. Perry putting the choke hold on Umino after the crowd chanting, "You got choked out! " is simply savage. I simply like on how Perry is being a jerky heel on Umino here. Perry with the Unprettier and gesturing CM Punk just to garner more heat to the crowd is hilarious. Glad that Umino took the win as a means to satisfy the crowd after Perry being a POS against them. A potential to be a great match but ruined by the interaction from Perry and the crowd. But still, not a bad match though. ***"

[6.0] "A good opener of the match. Crowd is on their feet for Suzuki. The way that Suzuki lunges an attack on Narita the moment after the crowd chanted, "Kaze Ni Nare" is savagely great. Suzuki punishing Narita like the time he bullies the Young Lion, glad that Narita doesn't suffer some PTSD or Vietnam War flashbacks and instead became a tough and dark wrestler. The way just they go round and round in the ringside is simply dope. Narita rolls out of the ring as some sort of playing possum so that he would manage a cheap offense to Suzuki and that's what saves him from further beatdown. The flurry of elbows of Suzuki is so devastating, he busted Narita's nose out. Suzuki then proceeds on the rear naked choke, but I like how Suzuki still manage to hold on even after the rope break to show how menacing he is. Good thing Narita uses a push-up bar as a way to cheat to win on a match, to simply protect Suzuki's menacing character and to say that Narita didn't win fair and square. Scary to see Suzuki just didn't accept losing and tried to go back in the ring. Anyway, a short but sweet opener to boost the crowd's interest. ***1/4"

[5.0] "Almost 10 minutes of wrestlers throwing each other at everything they could find in the backstage. The ending spot was quite decent, but only one moment like that from the entirety of the match is not enough to save it from its boring mediocrity."

[0.0] "Look at all of these ratings and not one is brave enough to spare you all. Zero. Don't waste time of your life on this. If you want to get the gist of it all then watch World Class from a little bit before this and watch their lil commercial for their "Triple Dome Of Terror". It's amazing in a terrible way, like a B-movie. That one promotional thing Dallas did is the only way to watch this gimmick match and it's not even the same company. or an entire match, it's just a trailer. Seriously, fast forward past this or go prepare your lunch for the next week, or walk the dog twice as long as usual. AVOID."

[10.0] "Easily the best Riddle match I've ever watched. He wrestled with Dream, so no surprise. Velveteen had his hands full all the time as Matt overwhelmed him with lots of fluid and crisp combinations. Also, great grappling, Dream got used to Riddle's style very quickly. Hats off to both men"

[10.0] "I will preface this with the one flaw of this match: The camera work doesn't catch everything. The pre-match stuff with Jim Cornette is classic. Since he was straight-jacketed and caged AND hoisted above ringside: he gets in as much full-on Carny Corny as he can. From the gimmicks to his reaction, this is MythBusters level "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing" and I will always love it; "This guy's some sort of crackpot, he's an honest man! ". Onto the match itself, I was completely enthralled, captivated, and lost in it until one moment. I had to stop and remark about the Bulldog Tommy Rodgers received because of a blind tag. I said "oh dang woooow" as an instinctual reaction and had to watch the entire setup 4 times because it's all so beautifully well done. From here Tommy takes a beating and this is all great. There is one of my favorite moments in all of wrestling; Stan Lane gives Tommy Rodgers combo kicks, Rodgers stumbles into a killer looking Backbreaker from Bobby Eaton. A dude in the audience, he's wearing a white lab coat of sorts - you can not and should not miss him. He does an amazing off the cuff dance that I can never get enough of. Best reaction ever. I rewind this part over and over every time. (American inmates: Peacock @ 0:46:30, just go there and watch at least that part). I remain sucked in, mesmerized, and not daring to miss a nuance. I won't describe any more action but the crowd cheers the winner and they would regardless of which team came out on top. AWESOME. Loved it."

[7.0] "Giulia was still early in her career so Sareee looked like the more experienced one. A good, decent length wrestling match without much to complain but nothing that special either."

[7.0] "The Montreal crowd definitely was hyped for Sheamus return and I felt like the match was carried by Sheamus and his veteran experience in particular. That being said though, I honestly think it was a really stupid idea for Ivar to lose this match especially considering his upcoming program with Oba Femi fighting for the NXT North American title and makes him look like a chump in the process in my opinion."

[10.0] "and they put cody vs roman over this match. Wow WWe fans dont know wrestling, the rilvary between triple h and michaels was good but it started to get boring, until benoit won the 2004 royal rumble, he decided to go after triple hs world heavy weight title, now we are here to this match and o my lord what a match, how is this not wwe greatest match of all time, o wait, probably because of benoit. which is why this match is not talked about, the first triple threat main event and this match exceeded all my expetations, one of the most emotonal wins of all time. *****"

[8.0] "Yet another incredible match in the long series between Kong and Kim. It has all the stuff you'd want from them: Kong being a intimidating monster, Kim being a scrappy underdog, and a fun roll-up finish. I loved the near fall with Kim's submission."

[7.0] "This is what its all about. Angelico and Arez brought the understood fundamentals of Llaveo Style and put up a fantastic respectful show. Not a single strike, only mutual trading of holds and an occasional slam to the mat. Perfect human chess. [3.5]"

[6.0] "Decent match that felt sort of one-sided and the finish felt quite abrupt in my opinion but I fucking loved the Canadian Destroyer spot from Dom on the ring apron. I knew for certain that Andrade would run away with this."

[6.0] "This was a good match, that was only really hindered when Gilberti and Sanders got involved. so far, there had been relatively little overbooking on the show, so I had hoped that Russo had his worst impulses under control. This match makes me doubt that."

[6.0] "Went a little too short for my likings and I felt like the chemistry between Balor and Jey was sort of lacking but nice to see Jay get some momentum for his match at Backlash. Seeing Finn get pissed off towards the end really plants the seeds for discent into the Judgment Day alongside Dom feeling sort of intimidated without Rhea by his side."

[7.0] "Good match. This has a simple story of the underdog Yurika Oka trying to pull off the upset. Sareee got in a lot of offense and did a nice job in making Oka look strong with her comeback. The final third of the match was very good, the crowd was into Oka getting some nearfalls. Sareee managed to get back in control and put this one away. 7/10"

[5.0] "The crowd seemed sort of quiet for most of the match and honestly the in-ring work with all 6 men in there was a bit sloppy in my opinion. I thought that the Creed Brothers and New Day looked pretty solid in the match in particular and Im sort of excited to see the friendly rivalry with Awesome-Truth and DIY for next weeks tag title match."

[9.0] "A super solid match. The crowd is hot from the start of the match and it starts strong during the first minutes. We will lose the audience slightly in the minutes that arrive and the match will start to be a little slower but it won't last very long. And in the last minutes it starts again with a vengeance and we find an excited audience. The finish is good and well executed. The 6 wrestlers all gave their all and delighted the audience. I forgot how awesome this match is. (4*1/2)"

[7.0] "This is the most random match of all time. Sure it was emotional, There fued was pretty big. Cody finished his story, but that was about it. and people calling this match "the greatest of all time". Does not know professional wrestling. This match isnt even the best wwe has produced. This isnt even the best main event. its one hell of a good one but i dont get it. John cena and undertaker coming out was one of the most random things to have ever happen. They literally had no right to be there, both way past there primes and destroying active wrestlers is not it. They made seth rollins look like a joke with his shied gear. and everyone knew cody was going to win. it was a good match and honestly it could be the best match of this wrestlemania, but people calling it the greatest does not know professional wrestling. but someone did explain it best, this match was like the avengers end game, it wasnt the best film but it was fun, and yes it was fun, but holy this is not the greatest main event. and its only good because it quote "Ended the greatest storyline of all time". ***3/4"

[8.0] "The cut to commercials kind of did sort of mess up the flow of the match but the match itself was fucking solid in my opinion. Chad looked like a gangsta throughout and after the match with his eventual heel turn. The chemistry between Gable and Sami and the in-ring psychology and work really make this pretty much the best match on the show in my opinion. Also loved the hometown reaction Sami got especially after the heartbreaking loss at the Elimination Chamber event last year."

[5.0] "this is one of those matches wwe tried to get over and failed, i cant name one move that was in this match other than finishers, i cant believe people like this match, idk what was wwe thinking here, holy smokes this was awful. the spam kickouts were not good, they tried to get over but it simply wasnt good. **1/2"

[5.0] "So what if the action in the ring is good if half of the match is a mindless brawl all around the arena? I'm sick of these Rocky matches, especially since it's a No DQ Match and there's no way that we would keep his worst impulses in check. Nevertheless when they stayed in the ring it was obviously very good with a lot of nicely executed drama. Angle wins his first world title, but he will have better wrestling bouts in the future that are not mainly punches, kicks and furniture spots."

[5.0] "Here's your average TV-show-level match. There's nothing special, except for a few good moment like the toss from Regal on Jericho and Jericho's high-flying moves. Other than that, it was just basic wrestling. The ending was underwhelming too. After this match I wasn't warmed up or hyped up for the rest of the show. That isn't the way an opener match for the biggest wrestling show of the year should be."

[6.0] "This was a pretty good match, although I never cared for Diamond and Swinger in ECW. I don't see that changing now."

[7.0] "Good match and the best they've allowed Alonzo to look ever. I'm hoping this is the start of a good run for him where he can show what he can do. Corino looked great, as he has since becoming jr heavy champ. If there's time before Corino heads elswhere, I hope they do a rematch to cement Alonzo as champ."

[7.0] "I'm surprised, considering both the athletes. This is a very good match, with violent spots and with a great work made by Baron Corbin and Kalisto. (7/10)"

[10.0] "This match was one of the few one would dare to consider perfect. This doesn't mean, however, that I believe it is the greatest wrestling bout ever, but rather that, given the ---excellent--- wrestlers and the circumstances the contest took place in, they couldn't have made anything better than what they produced. While it could have very easily become a storytelling-less spotfest, they crafted the match so ideally, that the mere thought of it would seem ridiculous when talking about the actual thing. It begins with Ospreay very aggressive off the gate, going after Omega, who has barely wrestled two matches in the previous year. Then, the 'Cleaner' slowly starts to get a hold of the champion, making for an exquisite wrestling contest. When it seems that the challenger has, indeed, taken over the bout, the heavy hitting begins, with the 'Kingpin' desperately trying to prove to everyone he is the actual best gaijin to have wrestled in New Japan. It is perhaps that recklessness which allows the Canadian to completely demolish Ospreay, with a clever use of bleeding to further reinforce that feeling. When, alas, it looks as if the 'Aerial Assassin' might be coming back, Kenny steps in to put out the fire and ends it with a somewhat anticlimactic finish (because he hits two finishing maneuvers back to back: his best friend's, Kota Ibushi's kamigoye; and then his own One Winged Angel), which I dare say perfectly fits the overall shock the match produced, seeing Ospreay so badly beaten. In summary, an extraordinary fight with a perfectly told story by two of the best to have ever stepped into the squared circle. I would say it deserves *****1/2."

[9.0] "In the buildup to Sareee vs Hash at the Sareee-ISM III show, they had another preview confrontation here in this tag team match. It's just a shame that Senjo shows are hard to find or pop up months after they air, it would have been nice to see this when it happened because it's one of the best tag team matches of the year. While the main story here was Sareee and Hash, Mio and Iwata played their supporting roles very well. Every exchange was hard hitting and the match went at a good pace. It also helped that the crowd was really into this and kept the energy level high. Sareee actually had the advantage over Hash for most of the match, but in the end Hash got her with a huge suplex for the win. It was a nice finish that played into the feud. Great match. 9/10"

[7.0] "I thought this was pretty good. Good enough they should have either cut or moved the Slade/Dumas match to give this more time. A blowoff match over the tag titles should be longer than 10 mins, not just over 7 with all 3 falls."

[7.0] "It was a very good match I wish it had gone a bit longer but I had a lot of fun and I've definitely been made a fan of both AZM and Stephanie"

[6.0] "A decent (albeit somewhat clipped alongside commentary from a very young Meiko) semi-main focused around showing off Oz alongside a pretty great list of prospective future big talent. The match layout basically had that front and centre with one sequence literally being all of them doing dives one after the other to get that over. There are some pretty cool spots though like some innovative chair bits between the two teams and Ozaki makes sure to hit all of the greatest hits throughout while also having some generous selling for the younger talent when it mattered. Very transparently set up as a movez match more so than anything else but definitely one that ticks that box fairly well. Some feel rougher than others (Amano especially just felt a tier below her GAEA contemporaries here, a bit stiff and lacking in high impact offence) yet still was a blast to watch at the end of the day because you could tell everyone here was definitely aiming to show off a bit. Enjoyable burst of action all things considered."

[6.0] "It was a pretty good match, but I feel like it would've been better if it lasted longer than five minutes. Few nice spots, smart tag from Slater getting them a win. Santino and Vlad did good job as well."

[10.0] "What a spectacle, violence in its purest essence. And violence with no stipulation whatsoever in the match, just two KILLERS inside a ring. I found it excellent how they showed that Ibushi wasn't prepared to match Ishii's strength in the beginning of the fight; he tries, but is easily overpowered. Then, Kota starts using his main weapon, speed and agility. He turns the domination around and pulls off a wonderful spot on the ringside (though poorly filmed). They return to the ring, and that's when the exchange of blows starts to get insaneslaps, elbows, kicks. Ibushi and Ishii kind of activate the "killer" mode. The ending is also excellent, with Ishii using Ibushi's finishers, with counts only going up to one, and other things that you can only truly feel the atmosphere of by watching the match."

[6.0] "A match I was interested in on paper. Creeds had a pair of good tags with Erik and Ivar in NXT 2.0 with their second being among the Creeds stronger matches. Julius continues to show a lot of potential with his athleticism. I was surprised for the crowd to be a bit more behind Ivar. Julius attempting a 450 and landing on his feet was impressive. Avalanche worlds strongest slam and moonsault was able to put Julius away."

[9.0] "Great mat-based match by Sabre and Makabe, great sequences of holds after holds between the two, also great storytelling."

[7.0] "This was a fun match, although Cross looked a little hesitant coming back from his injury. Things just felt faster when Kash took control."

[5.0] "Slightly disappointing match since we know what both these guys are capable of in the ring, had it been given more time and allowed Vinci to get more offence in it would've absolutely cooked, but because that didn't happen the match never got out of second gear. Regardless, overall good display given what they had to work with."

[4.0] "I wasn't expecting anything from this match to begin with, so I can't say I'm underwhelmed by what occured. The best parts of the match was the video package and the moment itself, which clearly meant a lot to Moxley. But between the bells... Barely moving Naito vs typical tough guy wannabe Moxley, literally nothing to point out up until the finish, which was of course every EPIC WRESTLING MATCH! points being checked out, million finishers, even more finisher reversals and kickouts at 1. Baaaaaad, but happy for Mox nonetheless."

[7.0] "I loved it apart from the weird finish. They're nicely turning up the tempo of the match and their work is flawless. The fans are all behind Triple H and booing the hell out of Benoit whenever they can, making it easier to get invested in. They're perfectly milking Benoit's Crossface whether he locks Hunter in it or just tries to lock it, putting it over like a very dangerous submission. The finish though falls flat, since Triple H is the babyface here and he needs Stephanie's help and an unexpected low blow out of nowhere without any build to it whatsoever."

[5.0] "This started off well but felt that it lost steam in the latter half. Then Sumie Sakai interference happened to help Vert which did not lead to a DQ in front of the referee. Unfortunately a bit of an underwhelming way to close the show."

[8.0] "Arez is underrated and the last couple years have made me a bit cold to Angelico. This was his first match outside the AEW bubble in over four years (per cagematch) and ended up being the best singles he has had in a long time. Paced well with some good counters and technical work. Top two of the show for me along with the Bendito match. Bumping to an 8 but would give a 7.5 if I could. May have been stronger had it not followed the battle royal/intermission/two Hero matches."

[8.0] "This match is actually really good, i saw it on reddit and i took a peek at it, and wow was i shocked, one of stone colds best matches, keiji was ofc great here, but this actually shocked me on how good austin was before he was "stone cold". ****1/4"

[3.0] "This was about as meat and potatoes of a match as you can get really. Bandido played the cocky young heel who got the heat for the majority of the match before Vortekz made his comeback. The problem is both segments of the match were done so poorly it became actively bad, quite impressive considering how basic the layout was. Bandido did every smoke and mirrors trick in the book to stretch out his heat, doing the most generic crowd work possible to avoid doing anything actually interesting. This meant that by the time Vortekz was ready to make his comeback the crowd were completely disengaged and the finish was about as heatless as possible."

[8.0] "Nice Match, I hope this will lead to Gable as new Intercontinental champion, but I don't know what is the end goal of the rivalry. Sami's entrance was also stupendous and the turn of Chad was something you know it was coming, but not like that, so good."

[] "I considered deducting points for the botched ending, but both wrestlers recovered pretty well (with Liger mocking Susuke, only for Susuke to finish him off with the surprise roll up) and really turned lemons into lemonade there. Either way, that one botch doesn't take away from the fact that this was a pretty fantastic match from start to finish; better, in my opinion, that the tournament final between Susuke and Benoit."

[6.0] "Don't understand the high rating for the match. Whether you call it Cruiserweight or X-Division or Junior Division it usually promises a faster paced action. This might be fast paced compared to WWE main roster but it is slower than similar divisions in every other promotion. After seeing Ibushi in Japan this feels underwhelming. He even botches an avalanche hurricanrana."

[10.0] "The WrestleMania main event to end all WrestleMania main events. This is more than a match. This was indeed, CINEMA.."

[7.0] "This was pretty good for a match featuring Dustin Rhodes at this stage of his career, What he lacks in physical ability, he makes up for with psychology."

[7.0] "The match is remembered due to the outcome, it was one of the most emotional wins of all time, i even started crying, but the match was self was prob 90% of lesnar, the most offense guerrero had was hitting his 3 suplexes, and thats about it, its a little ovverated and not a wrestling classic, but the outcome is one of the most emotional things in history. ***3/4"

[5.0] "It was what I expected but I enjoyed the match at least and I still like Suzuki a lot even if all his matches nowadays are mostly the same."

[3.0] "Sumie largely dominated this match with bursts of some offense from Billie. Some of the camerawork around the ringside area was messy when they fought on the floor. Sumie attempted to use the title but was stopped by the referee. Interference from Ava Everett and Dani Mo with Guerrero style cheating led to Sumie winning before promising to be a fighting champion leading to the impromptu match with Starlight winning. Billie most likely couldnt take a proper loss thanks to being signed with AEW and just winning the womens TV title but their match was pretty underwhelming with a bad ending. Crowd was at least content with Starlight winning."

[7.0] "I'm happy that this switchup happened, actually. The way they brought out Bounty Hunter and Mecha Mummy did feel a little bit iffy but the transition into a lighthearted and sincerely goofy match was appreciated. Great shtick from this Mummy fella. [3.5]"

[6.0] "I don't know how much sense it made for Edge & Christian to suddenly be bad at cooperation just because they put on the lucha masks, but I was really enjoying their work anyway. It had a very good pace, The Hardys were fun with their quick moves and Los Conquistadores stole the show for me."

[] "Good opening match. Malenko looked really good, very nice and crisp technical wrestling. Loved the jackhammer, and Gedo sold the headscissors takedown well, looking very spooked after getting hit with it. It's a shame Gedo won this match instead of Malenko"

[5.0] "Fine match. Viva dominated a good portion of it with the crowd behind Kaicho. Felt Viva had a nice performance here. One particular nearfall for Viva exchanging pins was particularly good. Kaichos comeback was fine but match never felt like it got into another gear."

[7.0] "This was probably Anna's best match ever and it wasn't a case of Mariah carrying her through it. Things seem to have finally clicked for her. we'll see if she can keep it going."

[6.0] "For the second time, a Chris Hero match is stopped abruptly to instead continue as a tag match. Slow, barometric work from these two. I am a massive fan of Higuchi, even if i don't feel like i've seen him a lot as of late. This pairing has legs, but the sudden halt and revamping to include Bryan Keith and Mecha Mummy stopped it from being its own match. [3.25]"

[4.0] "I hate this match, literally. DIY and The Creed Brothers are just sooo corny. They come out to crickets and proceed to have exactly same match every time, "exciting moves" in sake of exciting moves, especially The Creeds, yes we all know they are strong and athletic, now show us whether they are able to do anything else or thats all they got. Tag team division in WWE is in shambles, every tag match, if it doesn't include Awesome Truth, Pretty Deadly or A-Town Down Under is the same, there is no surprise that 2 of the teams I listed are holding the tag championships now."

[7.0] "[3.75*] Great wrestling match. Unfortunately there were 2 commercials into the match that cut the pacing and progression, but the fact that it was still great even with the cuts is impressive. The last 5-8 minutes were very intense after a slow burn on the beginning and the heel turn afterwards was just a phenomenal angle executed perfectly. People on the crowd must have loved it."

[9.0] "This match started strong with Kiyomiya quickly hitting his big moves on Kenoh. Unfortunately, the ref inexplicably tried to prevent Kiyomiya from kicking too much ass instead of just calling for a TKO. The early brawling around Korakuen was okay but went too long without a ref count. But those were just the first couple minutes. Everything after that was nearly perfect. Kiyomiya and Kenoh both showed tons of emotion here. Korakuen was hot the whole way through, but the fans were going especially nuts by the end. ****1/2"

[2.0] "Regal is phenomenal but Jesus Christ. Nobody could make it work and telling is the fact that before Mideon got naked the fans were dead silent. He tried to get some reactions from them, but nobody cared about Knight and his horrible physique with a hanging belly wasn't helping."

[5.0] "[2.5*] Why are people giving 8.0s to 6-min matches where almost nothing happens? My guys, I respect you all, but that is kind of a stretch in my opinion. There was not a single bad thing on the whole match and I give props to that, but at the same time there are nothing particularly great about it too, it was very common."

[5.0] "[2.75*] Decent match. I do not like Canadian Destroyers and I say that in literally every Komander match or something but now WWE is doing it quite frequently on lucha matches and as much as I hate it, the crowd seems to like, so that is fine. Besides that, everything was pretty average, but not bad at all."

[6.0] "[3.0*] Fine match where the major spot was obviously the insane Avalanche White Noise by Sheamus on the giant Ivar. This was a crowd-working match (as it should) and made us feel good, so mission accomplished. Sheamus is awesome."

[5.0] "A fine tag match. Nakano/Shirakawa worked well together while Janai performed well. Aja was understandably limited but the other three made this work fine enough."

[9.0] "It doesn't seem like AEW had a particularly strong week in-ring but I did think this match was a whole barrel of fun. I like most of these guys quite well (I never did get into Malakai Black, but he did ok), and I think everyone pulled their weight well. Speaking of weight, how fun is Brody King? Despite a great showing in the Continental Classic he has been on the backburner again, so it was great to see him smash through some talented little guys. Dude really knows how to lay in the offense, such a big fan of the guy. Everyone on the babyface team looked good as well, no surprise that AEW has no shortage of fun athletic guys. The outcome was never in doubt but the action was a whole lot of fun."

[4.0] "Not a whole lot to this, basically just a selection of back and forth moves without actually doing anything crazy enough to make that an interesting concept. Crowd didn't exactly help but they weren't really given anything to get invested in emotionally so can't really blame them."

[6.0] "This was a fine tag match. Aja's modern matches ride or die on her opponents ability to work around her limitations and thankfully Mina, Tam, and Janai were able to put on a decent match here."

[9.0] "[4.5*] On my group of friends, almost everyone absolutely loved this one, and I am glad this is getting the love it deserves with the most rated grade being 9.0 (at this moment). We all know Naito is not on his prime psychically anymore, his body is cooked, but he sold so fucking much for Mox, even with a head bump on the apron, that I was impressed. The storytelling was just awesome since the press conference, where Naito used Moxs anxiety against him with the Tranquilo mentality, taking a lot of time to pose for the photo (at the conference) and to take his gear off at the match. He played a lot of mind games and dominated the game mentally for the first few minutes, until Moxley finally figured things out and used his size and strength on his advantage and equalized things. This was not fast-paced or anything like that because Naito just was not able to pull it off, but the levels of big fight feel, drama, psychology and incredible storytelling were able to overcome the lack of explosiveness from the majority of the match. On the last 5-mins they went insane, I guess this was the highest ceiling possible for the Ingobernable, and the nearfalls were mind-blowing. In a last attempt of survival, Naito kicked out at 1, but he already knew the Monster Moxley was 100% physically and would not stop until he won. Moxs interactions with the camera were very good too, specially when he started saying Not Tonight, Not On This Night, embracing the babyface persona. Incredible match, even better moment. History was made last night and was a very special event for me."

[4.0] "The crowd goes batshit crazy for Austin, but that's about it when it comes to the positives. It's a typical Austin brawl, where Rikishi basically gets no offense, making him look like an absolute goof. And then for whatever reason the whole squad of police waits for Stone Cold, like we didn't see much more brutal beatings on this show in the past."

[8.0] "[4.25*] One of the best matches in AEW Television this year. Phenomenal Main Event with a perfect pacing for a weekly show and 25 minutes of action that just flew by. There were a lot of awesome spots and the last few minutes had a ton of nearfalls, which I would hate if it was from finishers, but as normal moves, I loved it."

[6.0] "[3.25*] Very good wrestling match and one of the best from Toni after the Timeless gimmick started. She is starting to pick things up as how the gimmick will play in-ring wise and AZM is also a phenomenal wrestler."

[4.0] "I can't even describe the inutility and the shitness of this match. TLC could last less then three hours without this match and we didn't notice that. Stupid bitches... (4/10)"

[5.0] "An alright tag match. Masha particularly wrestled a ton on WM weekend this being her last match of the weekend. Not bad but not particularly standout. Miscommunication led to Blake and Luck losing."

[7.0] "A perfectly fine match. I gotta say I missed Sheamus, so watching him have a match with a hot crowd was a charming moment. Ivar shouldn't have been involved in this since he challenges Oba Femi for a title in NXT, but he was a good dance partner for Sheamus"

[9.0] "A great technical match. Iyo was phenomenal here. Great moment with Bayley winning. Best women's match of the weekend."

[6.0] "I have to concur with the other commentator here in that this was the best of the show so far. Jada did a good job selling and Mayu was great when she finally managed to tag herself in."

[8.0] "Totally the awesome battle it was meant to be and so much more, this is exactly what a match with this stipulation should look like to end a rivalry as imposing as the one Angle & Jarrett had at the time. I loved every second of it, the fans had a hard time getting into the match but I found it immediately qualitative, perfectly paced and Angle was so beast in this match. He redid the Moonsault spot he did against Mr. Anderson a year before at Lockdown, and also the sequence when he can escape from the cage but doesn't because he wanted to kick Jarrett's ass even more. It didn't work out so well for him this time, but in any case the match and the overbooking were very good. It's a shame the ending seems a bit flat, but I liked too many things about this match."

[6.0] "An enjoyable match, in which Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt confirmed their alchimy as tag team. I'm a little sad for Heath Slater, but that's it. Randall with that belt is exotic. (6/10)"

[4.0] "Seriously, roses to the back was the most devastating move of the match? The Right to Censor are heat magnets, but they can't keep the bout interesting when they're in control. At least it was short and nothing apart from the bad finish was that off-putting, but it wasn't a PPV match."

[9.0] "Im automatically raising the rating of this match for Sami Zayns entrance because holy shit that is how you show that someone is a hometown star. Say what you want, I think Gable deserves to win the title soon, but Sami Zayn deserved this moment in Montreal, he and Gable had a hell of a match, the intercontinental title is honestly in good hands. But of course, what we all saw coming, Gable turned heel and the Montreal Crowd booed heavily. This was a great match, and Im giving it a 9/10. Great match, and great post-match angle."

[6.0] "These three teams are all great so this was a bit of a letdown for me. Kind of sloppy and chaotic in a bad way. DIY winning was a genuine surprise to me because they seemed poised to win the titles soon and I doubt they're doing it off Miz/Truth's first defence but who knows."

[8.0] "Judgement Day is going to be Judgement Day and get a cheap start by jumping Uso from behind to start, screw you Finn Balor. Thankfully, Finn Balor is more than capable of holding his own in a big match and he is able to keep his opponent looking good whenever he wants, and thankfully, hes more than happy to put Uso over in a very good match. Its Balor so hes gonna do his part, and Uso did his part. 8/10."

[] "Pretty decent match with a heel turn that I think was sorely needed. Perc Gable is a run we deserve to have after his comedy stint with Otis. Now I did enjoy it, but I think he should be taken more as a serious competitor. I hope they make this a blood feud thatll last a while"

[7.0] "These guys did not to go as hard as they did but Im not gonna complain I suppose, Dom hit Andrade with a Canadian Destroyer on the ring apron, but Andrade still kicked out which was crazy. Of course, there was still classic Judgement Day shenanigans, JD getting on the ring and interfering was still going on so of course that was happening. Even still, Andrade still got the win, but then JD jumped him and Ricochet had to make the save, tag match for next week, this match gets a 7/10."

[7.0] "This match likely could have been better than it was, but a lot of the stuff that occurred was a bit weirdly paced, all three of these teams are awesome and DIY and the Creeds had a hell of a match to qualify for the mania spot a few weeks ago. This match felt like it was too much of a spot fest if Im being honest, not really any flow but it was still decent and Im glad DIY gets their chance at the title! heres a 7/10 since this match wasnt bad, just too much of a spot fest for my liking."

[7.0] "Thank god that Ivar was not getting squashed in this match, also Sheamus returned with his old theme song and Im not the biggest fan as I honestly preferred Hellfire if Im being honest. Either way, Im happy that Sheamus is back and so is the WWE crowd from the sound of it, this match isnt anything major as its basically your standard raw match with Sheamus being able to pull some impressive stunts by lifting Ivar up. Still, this match is simply meant to put Sheamus over in his return. Heres a 7/10 for this match."

[9.0] "One of the few multi-men matches to use psychology. All 3 guys worked their asses off. The pop up powerbomb countered into RKO was tremendous, as was Logan's frog splash. The IShowSpeed interference was hilarious. Really enjoyable match."

[0.0] "I really like Dalton Castle. I think John Morrison is pretty awful in all incarnations. Dalton Castle was not enough to overcome John Morrisons awfulness for me. Early in the year but this is no doubt one of the worst matches we'll see this year. Awful."

[6.0] "Definitely one of those situations where it's just an ok match but a great moment. Wish the ROH title meant more for this moment alone but it is what it is at this point. Eddie's weird run and loss to Okada definitely put a damper on this too. Just a weird situation."

[6.0] "The second weakest mania match but that doesn't mean it's bad , all the matches at wrestlemania had something good about them and this match had a lot going for it. La winning was obvious , Styles new theme is alright but a clear downgrade from his previous iconic theme. Good leg work from styles , and a nice win for la. I just expected more out of these two , this should of gotten more time , and should of highlighted even more tension between these two."

[8.0] "A great first title defense for Zayn, who couldn't have dreamed of a better start to his reign, a top-quality match perfectly worked from start to finish as expected with two wrestlers as incredible as they are. It was everything it should have been in front of a red-hot Montreal crowd, and I loved every second of it. Insane post-match angle too, give me a full rematch in a PLE please now."
