[7.0] "The good mess caution of the evening. APC's owner owns the place, so let's go jumping from the balcony. Nice to see Valdez and TLB outside of Douai, and they did well in this 3-Way. Buck and Christianium were dominant as always, while Balzac and Le Brun are as good as ever at the spoilers. An explosive tag team mess, yeah. A pity that it lasted just only eight minutes."

[7.0] "Obviously a good match, but I didn't think this was as good as I was expecting it to be. This was vastly inferior to the Danielson and Shibata match from a few weeks ago and it was mainly down to Will and Shibata not having as great of chemistry as Dragon and Shibata had which lead to a few awkward moments and I also felt that towards the end there were far too many kickouts, including two very lame kickout at one spots which felt completely undeserved. No build up, just Shibata and Ospreay kicking out of eachother's moves at one because it's an Ospreay match and there needs to be a kickout at one at some point during the match. It worked during the Kenny match, it worked during the Takeshita match, but here it just felt super lame. It also felt like the crowd weren't all too into this either. I feel like Ospreay matches always reach that next level when the crowd are going wild and popping for everything but they weren't here, which took a bit away from this match honestly. While this match was undoubtedly still good, with some genuinely great bits of action throughout it, it does have quite a few issues that prevent me from rating it higher. ***3/4"

[9.0] "Updating this review almost a full year after I first saw this match. It was the first Stardom match I ever watched fully, and while I liked it, I didn't fully appreciate it. Stardom's style, while accessible, does take a handful of matches to get used to. You appreciate the length of this. 40+ minutes is Stardom just simply doesn't happen, and even some of the matches 20+ minutes don't keep this pace and consistent brutality. There's a bit of artificial space in the match to add some more time, but it doesn't matter to me. And it lacks in atmosphere, being in the middle of the pandemic. But god damn they nailed everything in their control. If you're having touble appreciating this, put it down and come back when you're in the right place to do so. You owe it to yourself. 4.5 Stars."

[7.0] "An interesting 3-Way. Salem had to win because it was the occasion to free himself from Tristan Archer, while LSG and Sombra gave no shit about that. They were just here to gain the victory and reclaim their pay. The outcome was a bit predictable, but at the end of the day, it was a good mix of styles. They did their best to put on an enjoyable fight with nice spots. And above all, it offered Salem a necessitated rebirth."

[5.0] "Yeah this wasn't for me. Obviously I preferred the Dragon/Shibata match but this one was just honestly bland. Which is weird cause usually either Ospreay can be carried or he can do the most atrocious shit I ever seen, I don't think I ever accused him of being boring however. Ospreay doing the weakest elbows you ever seen in your life followed by Shibata giving him one stiff one (Like whenever Minoru Suzuki has a vacation match in America) is like top five comedy honestly. What was the deal with Ospreay taking that kick to outside and sliding looking at his hands? was that supposed to be like how it's to be if this were a real combat sport? it just looked goofy. Also I don't care what anyone says about "Fighting Spirit", No Selling a Sleeper Suplex is fucking dumb. Very mediocre contest. **1/2"

[9.0] "Match of the night to this point and the best of Motor Citys matches in DPW to this point. Despite only having a few matches as a team, Jake Something and Mike Bailey work quite well together with a great power/speed dynamic to them. Motor City were a bit more villainous here which worked well with getting the crowd behind their opponents. Bailey has had strong matches with both of them and that was on display again here. Crowd reacted positively to the title change. 8.5-9"

[8.0] "To my complete lack of surprise... this was an excellent display from both Devlin and WALTER. Devlin's ability to make the irish crowd insatiably root for him combined with WALTER's insurmountable heelisms make for a dynamite of heart and passion and strength. It's quite a simple story, but the manner in which it's told -body language, facial expressions, etc etc- along with the stiff and crooked power moves make this a genuine COMPETITION to see who can outlast the other. I loved the finish too. WALTER always has one last trick up his sleeve. [4]"

[5.0] "[2.5*] This was just an okay match. It was decent, not good nor bad, just very normal. I was honestly expecting more of a match with Kenny but this episode was kind of cursed from the beginning anyways, lol. I do not love the Golden Jets as an act and Kenny should be doing bigger and better things."

23:07 
[5.0] "[2.5*] To be fair, I expected way more of it. Shida is usually great and Abadon has always showed off at their appearances, but this one did not click enough. The gimmick match was kinda bad tho, nothing crazy but it did not help the match at all. I would have loved a bloodbath."
1028.03.2024
23:06 
[5.0] "[2.5*] The second best match of the undercard. It was very fast paced and did a good job. Yoshioka is awesome, he deserved better from the company during his time here. He is a lot better than HAYATA in all aspects. This kid Terry Yaki has a bright future."
1128.03.2024
23:06 
[5.0] "[2.5*] This was a methodical match. I am going to be honest: singles Jimmy Uso absolutely sucks. His brother is a thousand times better and he just can not keep it up with the bigger stars. He is not made for that role and he will never, ever be. LA Knight was great tho."

[8.0] "Good old fashioned hardcore match. Despite the fact that the momentum of the Cody-Nakamura feud had already faded by this point, the match was interesting to watch due to the bull rope rules. Matches with these rules are a huge rarity in WWE, and I'm very glad that Cody brought them back. Hopefully these will become some of Cody's signature matches and we will see more of them as they are part of Dusty's legacy that Cody is committed to keeping alive. ***3/4."

23:04 
[4.0] "[2.25*] The worst match of the night in my opinion. The Rampage womens matches has been very good in almost every week so it is fine to have one below the level. Absolutely right winner with Abadon here and I look forward to see what they brings to Shida."

23:03 
[5.0] "[2.5*] Star Ratings wise, this was the same as the Hungbucks v Hardys match. But this was actually a thousand times better and more useful for TV Wrestling. They showcased a legend, which received an awesome pop, while gave the submission win to their young talent Hook, which received a great reaction as well. Grades are not everything on this sport. The Hardys match sucked, this one was awesome, and both of them were 3*. This is great TV, that other one is not."
1528.03.2024
23:03 
[5.0] "[2.5*] This was a pretty nothing match so I would like to understand why it even happened in the first place. If I can remember, The Hardys lost to the Bucks and they are on a losing streak. Brother Zay just lost a N.1 Contender Triple Threat match on Rampage. Why the hell they were the challengers? Stop with the overprotective booking. STOP WITH THIS SAFE LOSERS BULLSHIT."

[7.0] "This was a really fun slugfest. Ishii can always be depended upon to do great in these kinds of matches and Rampage more than kept up with him throughout."

[6.0] "Better pacing and structure than some other hardcore matches from Prominence, a must-watch for LEGO fans. This Ueki stuff just doesn't do it for me though."

[7.0] "Honestly, this match was much better than I expected it to be. I love all kinds of weird gimmicks in pro wrestling, so Lil Kraken is the reason I included this match. And he really wasn't bad. The vibe reminded me a bit of Ophidian from Osirian Portal. Quite an elastic guy who, with his movements, can weaken his opponents vigilance, and then deliver an unexpectedly sharp and powerful blow. It is worth noting that Kraken and Akira acted quite harmoniously and they had good team combinations for wrestlers who have nothing in common and who are teaming with each other for the first time. I would also like to mention Trans Am Hiroshi. This guy may not have the same bright and eye-catching appearance as Lil Kraken, but his gimmick is also quite remarkable, because he fights in the style of kung fu, and can also start meditating right in the middle of the match to replenish his strength. This match was not boring to watch because it lasted exactly as long as it should have. ***1/2"

[5.0] "Ricochet looked quite good as usual, his standing in the company may not be soaring but he's as capable as ever of producing some really fun highlights. I just wasn't feeling this one so much though, it had some nice athletics but McDonaugh was a poor opponent to play off them, a mechanically fine wrestler with no spark at all and even less desire to sell anything in a way that generated any interest. Bit like a remedial PWG match here all told."
2028.03.2024
22:42 
[6.0] "Potentially it is an amazing match, I usually enjoy what Takeshita and Strickland do, but together they did only a spotfest that wasn't always interesting to watch, and moreover, for me good moments were rare here. Nice spots, but too chaotic, and this is a problem of many modern matches, especially with big names and great athletes."

[6.0] "Another good tag match from Zack Sabre Jr and Mikey Nicholls, while United Empire are still floundering a bit."

[8.0] "Really good match that ranked well in the Mid South DVDVR set. This has a great Houston crowdand both guys worked a classic territory match coupled with good athleticism."
2328.03.2024
22:38 
[7.0] "Card subject to change as it was to be Tankman and Titus teaming vs. Bailey and Something while MXM were meant to face MCMG but Mansoor could not make it. These three made due with an enjoyable match with all doing well in the match. Tankman retaining wasnt a surprise but considering the circumstances, I feel they did well."
2428.03.2024
22:38 
[6.0] "Some of the moments were really cool. This match had an impressive beginning, there were enjoyable things from both Ospreay and Shibata, but I still like their first match from 2017 much better. Then it was a story of growth of the future big star Ospreay, now it was a big regress in the chemistry between these two because of typical big match things, useless nosell and a lack of a real storytelling."
2528.03.2024
22:31 
[4.0] "I thought since it was a Tag Team Match we wouldn't get as much outside of the ring brawling as in a usual Rock's match, but boy was I wrong. There is some good stuff in the ring, especially when Rocky is in it, but there's just too much punching on the floor. Plus the finish absolutely sucked."
2628.03.2024
22:23 
[7.0] "Enjoyable match here that kept a good pace with an invested crowd. BK has a lot of potential and has been consistently delivering among the DPW homegrown talents. Good showing from Ali as well even if the winner was never in doubt."
2728.03.2024
22:20 
[4.0] "United Empire have been in an odd position since the cage match, Will Ospreay leaving, and having HENARE injured. It was good to see TJP and Francesco Akira posing a threat to the heavyweights in this match."
2828.03.2024
22:09 
[5.0] "Similar to their first match: Chyna looked horrible, Jericho looked fantastic. Chyna's kicks looked horrendous once more and at no point did she put any effort into her strikes. Jericho carried her into a decent match though, but the quality of it also depended on how over Chris was."
2928.03.2024
22:04 
[10.0] "I really loved this match and trilogy between Nia and Becky. I didn't expect them to have this amazing chemistry together. Becky keeps giving us great matches and Nia is getting better and better, she has improved so much and I am glad she is having a great run. She deserves some love from the fans :D"

[7.0] "I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, it didn't live up to the appeal of this sign after all the history that Hanan and Kid had. On the other hand, it is still head and shoulders above most matches from this tournament. The story is actually that Hanan managed to take the New Blood tag team titles from Kid when SLK had an injured ankle, and when they met again in the battle royal, Kitto put her in her place. In essence, they continued this line, pitting Kid's skills and speed against Hanan's passion, but the storytelling of this match was clearly not as strong as that of Hanan and Mirai. A lot of things like Ruaka's interference or the ending leave questions and they definitely need to have a bigger match in the future."

[7.0] "Good showing from both talents here. Probably a matter of time before Vert is signed somewhere while Lady Frost is rather underrated in her ability to deliver in the ring."

21:56 
[7.0] "Entertaining match. The crowd was wild for Sid and the LOD, but the Harts do a brilliant job of keeping control of the match and was kinda carrying it really. Loved some of the ref distractions in this where they had him pretty much in their pocket. Owen was a brilliant pure wrestler to watch. Some of the no selling from LOD was pretty funny, but to be fair this was a big part of their get up and the fans just went crazy for it. Sid was the one to take the fall here with it being his last match with the company."

[4.0] "They're doing a good job building up Oleg Boltin before he heads away on his inevitable excursion. The two newer Young Lions, Katsuya Murashima and Shoma Kato are both coming along well."

Wieczus wrote about Kane vs. X-Pac:
[6.0] "I really liked this feud and I loved 1-2-3 Kid as a heel during his feud with Razor Ramon, so he knew how to be a scumbag against Kane. They didn't overstay their welcome, they didn't make X-Pac look too strong in a 1vs1 scenario against a monster and they got the biggest pops near the finish. Kane's jump from the cage looked fantastic and it was a good way to end the thing."
3528.03.2024
21:38 
[5.0] "Three good workers here, so I didn't expect as much sloppiness as we got, but they still delivered a pretty good match. Some nice spots involving all three guys with everyone constantly betraying everybody which made sense. D-Lo once again was over as hell and it's a joy to watch him feed off the crowd's energy."
3628.03.2024
21:30 
[5.0] "This match was a much worse version of the 2019 one, both teams have regressed since then. Isiah Kassidy still has some potential but I fear it will continue to be wasted. This one was a disappointment, I really wanted to see what AEW would do with the story these teams had going in, but they never even really played on it during the match. This bucks heel turn is turning out to be a flop imo, the botched EVP trigger felt a little embarrassing especially when its the match finish, the worst time to botch."
3728.03.2024
21:25 
[8.0] "A dream fight from 10 years ago. An impossible fight from 5 years ago. Thanks TK for giving us this, it was so good to finally see them collide. Shibata can't go as strong as prior to his injury but this is a very good fight. Just two bad asses beating the hell out of each other. A very good TV fight, with much background."
3828.03.2024
21:24 
[6.0] "After the match ended, I was sincerely surprised that Mayu participated in it, because I dont remember a single moment with her. It mostly looked like a practice match for Sayaka Kurara, with Saori and Hazuki also having a good showdown. I think they're in for an epic solo match later this year."
3928.03.2024
21:18 
[4.0] "And another 4-rated match on this show, hell yeaaaah. Seriously, why this show is show shitty? Zero good matches, disgusting booking, careless crowd, and the main event is boring too. And I still don't know what should I see in Oiwa to care about him and believe that he's an important and pretty strong guy. I know he's a young lion from NJPW and didn't impress me so far, nothing special."
4028.03.2024
21:14 
[4.0] "It's not a bad effort from Dustin and he gets some decent reactions and the ending was quite heart warming when he won, but the match just wasn't very good. There's long rest hold spots here where nothing was really happening and these two had no chemistry in the ring together whatsoever."
4128.03.2024
21:10 
[4.0] "4 ONLY for the characters' interactions, because they were really fun. I would like to see a segment with Jake and Fujita teasing each other, but not a match, because it was a drawn-out snoozefest, slow and uninteresting. Awful match with a better potential."
4228.03.2024
21:08 
[8.0] "This match was just awesome. Gunther beat Jey down, bruised him, battered him, and chopped the hell out of him. Jey then took control of the match and unloaded a flurry of offense on Gunther, but when Jey had the match won, The Bloodline came out and Gunther rolled Jey up to win."

[5.0] "Controversial but I didnt like this. I respect that both men are great athletes but this match was a snoozefest for the first half and then the second half looked too choreographed and was filled with too many kickouts. My other big issue is, I just dont care for shibata at all, he's underwhelmed every time ive seen him on AEW and I dont have time to watch ROH. For me Shibata lacks personality other than just 'tough guy' but thats the most generic wrestler gimmick around."
4628.03.2024
20:59 
[8.0] "This was an awesome pay per view caliber match on free tv. The pacing and psychology in this match was good, with the match starting slow but getting a quicker pace as it went along. The stiff strikes from Drew look devastating and the face/heel dynamic was great. The Bloodline came out and costed Cody the match."
4728.03.2024
20:58 
[1.0] "A common refrain I find myself saying when looking back at Roman's career is that "it could've been, and should've been, much better", and at no time was it truer than in this match. The clash of the Samoan Joes had the potential, but ultimately, ended with a heatless match with a crowd hostile to its existence. No wonder all you could hear was the "beat the traffic" chants."
4828.03.2024
20:57 
[4.0] "The match itself was largely fine but for what has now become a tradition on AEW TV, the male ROH champions dont appear on their own show but they can appear on AEW TV to lose. Why should anyone care about TKROH when this is all they do? They spent so much time hyping up this mystery group who all largely colossally lose. Roderick has already been champion for nearly a month with no defense in sight either. Completely avoidable and awful booking."
4928.03.2024
20:55 
[3.0] "It truly is hard for Daniel Bryan to have a bad match, but this is probably a contender for his worst one. Despite what his iron-man performance in Saudi Arabia two weeks prior would've had you believe, he's still having to shake some of the ring rust away. Coupled with a Big Cass who had been meandering since he split from Enzo (resulting, once again, in two Janettys) and going through a bunch of issues, then you've got a recipe for a really mediocre match. Perhaps his release a month later was a blessing in disguise, because he's clearly grown into a serviceable powerhouse since then, and I'd love to see a Danielson v. Morrissey match some time down the line, just to prove it was circumstance, and not the talent, that made this match bad."
5028.03.2024
20:49 
[5.0] "This was more about the after-match shenanigans than the wrestling itself, so I felt better afterward than the rating implies. Still, from bell to bell, not a lot of time. Uso played his hits. Bummer to see Shinsuke get reduced to quasi-jobber status after that banger of a world title program he had with Seth Rollins last year."
5128.03.2024
20:47 
[7.0] "When Bronson Reed bleeds his own blood, he eats it. Alrighty then. The big man laid down some thunderous chops and increased his iron content, while Sami sold like gumby and continues to tell a fine story heading into his 'Mania match with GUNTHER."
5228.03.2024
20:45 
[7.0] "Sneaky good booking to have Vinci face Andrade - the former is obviously going to eat a pinfall, but a loss won't hurt him and he was a great ring partner to the talented luchador. They made the most out of the time they were given."
5328.03.2024
20:45 
[7.0] "Started off with Steen doing comedy bits before it turned into more of what you would expect from these two with some good striking. Overall a pretty solid match."

[9.0] "A match that captured the magic of the old KENTA, while showcasing why ZSJ is so great, all in the magic of the G1. 4.5 Stars."
5528.03.2024
20:43 
[6.0] "It is difficult for these tag teams to put on a bad match even given undesirable circumstances, but they didn't get enough time to really cook and it showed in their work. The booking is weird here; why not let these two put on a banger and have Judgment Day show up after a pinfall? The 'Mania ladder match doesn't need much to hype it up, but still disappointing to not let these folks show what they are capable of."
5628.03.2024
20:43 
[7.0] "A pretty fun way to close the show, in my opinion. This is just like the opening match, where it was a very strong 7/10 (AKA 3.75/5 or 7.5/5). That counter from Bron as Akira dove off the top rope was actually crazy, as was Bron & Baron putting Otis through the table."
5728.03.2024
20:43 
[9.0] "Another great Ospreay match in AEW that featured a lot of puro vibes because of Shibata. They went all in with the strikes and in the end with the no sell (they could have done it before in the match since I particularly like no-selling) and it led to a strong win by Ospreay who is now looking very good and ready to face the Dragon. ****1/2"

20:41 
[9.0] "This ruled harder than a schoolmarm's wrist shot in a dreary classroom. These two were born to wrestle each other, exhibiting excellent chemistry and moving smoothly together. The camerawork was also on point. The avalanche poisonrana made my jaw drop. Ricochet kicking out after eating knees to his springboard 450 had me hootin' and hollerin'. His destroyer was breathtaking. I have never seen a shooting star crossbody before. Bravo, gentlemen, bravo."
6028.03.2024
20:41 
[6.0] "I thought the match was okay. Lawler is a good opponent for Mankind because he naturally draws heat from the crowd, who was starting to get behind Foley's misunderstood character. Lawler is a very old school wrestler to watch, which can sometimes be hit and miss in this era, but he does some solid work here where he consistently targets Mankind's ear. They never show what Lawler's hidden weapon is supposed to be on camera. I'd say my main problem really was that I thought he was in control for too long. No matter who he's wrestling, Foley is a man who takes a tumble and they always look like they hurt! The crowd stay behind him throughout and JR's call when Lawler gets caught in the Mandible Claw was pure gold."

[4.0] "And as much as AJ was on fire, the OC were barely smouldering. The signing of Gallows and Anderson, with their New Japan pedigree alongside AJ, was a welcome surprise, and the OC/Enzo, Cass and Cena feud was fun, this was probably the first sign that Karl and Luke - Luke especially - were riding on AJ's coattails. Poor match."
6228.03.2024
20:37 
[9.0] "They are both working all over the legs but due to her strength & experience, Tomoka's kicks/work hurts Azusa more so she has the advantage and gets more offense. It played a part in the entire match and the selling was top-notch. Great performance by both"
6328.03.2024
20:35 
[4.0] "doomed from the start. the two tried there hardest but this was not anything of note besides being the 1st women's championship match. furthers my belief wwww should not be doing shows here if its gonna dampen the product and the stars because it is very obvious this could have been waaaaaaayyyy better. hope they got another match after this somehwere else"
6428.03.2024

[9.0] "An excellent match all around, a slow start but once it picks up speed it feels relentless. The story of a hurt Kawada being picked apart by Otani, but rallying and just beating Otani to the point where hes actively trying to escape into the ropes blindly is beautiful. Kawada sells like only he can really, he carries across the pain of a man who is visibly hurt but conditioned to limit how much he feels, Otani also does an excellent job of selling the brutal offence at the end. Honestly this is peak levels of Kawada for me, ending matches with stiff kicks to the head is always satisfying in a sadistic kind of way."

[9.0] "The Styles/Cena feud of 2016 and early 2017 was probably the best of both mens' career, and given AJ's illustrious TNA career and Cena's reign as the Face That Runs The Place, that's saying something. Whilst I personally would rate the Royal Rumble match higher, Styles in full #BeatUpJohnCena mode was a joy to behold. Cena himself is no slouch either, and with the pressures of being the Ace taken off him, like the US Open Challenge before and his SmackDown run after this match, you can tell he trulyy is enjoying himself."

[2.0] "there was some wrestling and the crowd had some sparks of life for roman. these two are good wrestlers by themselves but just do not have chemistry together. apparently they've been having an awful feud months before this? what was wrong with wwe, this brought nothing to either people and is comparable to the terrible wrestlemania 2 steel cage match. no story telling in the ring and this went on way longer than needed"

Idk why but i remembered taker squashing bray a lil here and it being shorter but no it wasnt that at all bray got plenty of offense and it was back and fourth for a while there i did actually enjoy this match quite a bit. 2.75 stars"

[9.0] "One of the biggest surprises of 2022, let alone this PPV, was just how good Logan Paul is. When this match was announced, I truly thought this was going to be an incredibly weak celebrity involvement match to keep the wheels turning until Mania, and let me tell you, I have never been so happy to have been so wrong. Logan proved that he was in the business for keeps, not just for attention, and if this was a baptism of fire, he came out smelling like roses (are my metaphors getting confused here? ). Some of the best wrestling matches are those in which you are able to suspend your disbelief, and whilst just looking at the card you'd think "oh, of course Logan's not going over", in actual fact, he convinced you that he really could."

[7.0] "A nice hard-hitting match here. With the previous confrontation between Briggs, DIJAK, and Oba Femi, it was a little obvious Briggs was winning here. However, that didn't really take away from my enjoyment of this. I'm hoping the Triple Threat at Stand & Deliver ends up being good, because I think the potential is definitely there."

[6.0] "It was a good match, but I found it a bit too confusing and chaotic at times, especially towards the end. Aside from that, it was still a good match due to the quality of the wrestlers and i think the ending was good and didn't hurt Eddie or Chavo."

[6.0] "Another solid match on the show, despite it being on the quicker side. I think this acted as a nice way to build Lorenzo a little bit. I don't know that it's leading to anything in the near future or if it was even fully intentional, but Lorenzo did a nice job here and really held his own."

[8.0] "Very entertaining enjoyable match but i mean name a match that has these 2 guys together in some way that isnt entertaining. I really enjoyed this stuff back when it first aired and always love going back to rewatch this match here. Started out a tad basic and a lil WWE style but about halfway through this match they were really giving us all they got and it was a hell of a match. 4.25 stars"

[5.0] "These early undertaker mania matches really werent the best were they. Not to sure why exactly because taker could always go. Probably becyase some of those things he could do vince and the company didnt think fitted takers character. Might be one of the better early streak matches but thats not saying a lot"

[2.0] "Mamma mia, if you think the feuds that Kofi was pushed into to keep the belt warm for Brock were bad, then that's nothing compared to Seth's "keep the belt warm for Brock" run with the belt in 2019 was. Baron Corbin is a fine enough talent, but does not and had never had main event aura. I've spoken before about WWE's problems with a) booking two world championships correctly and b) giving Seth Rollins the respect he deserves; 2019 was truly a nadir in both respects, with his title run during the time, through Vince being senile, devaluing the red brand's belt and Seth's stock even worse than Rock and Roman were doing just after the 2024 Rumble."

[6.0] "after watching that awful match before, this was a fine watch. not a fan of the ending with the random chair that you didn't even see. also the crowd seemed like they did not care in the slightest. I can still appreciate this but its a skip on the rewatch even being a championship title change"

[6.0] "Good match, Scorpio & Marufuji always have good chemistry and Slinger worked well with Scorpio. The team of Marufuji and Sano is pretty good, but they didn't mesh as well as I had hoped they might have. Sano really feels like he worked better with the heavys at this stage of his career. 3 stars"

[0.0] "this is the kind of stuff you do before the broadcast as a dark match. not something that is ppv or any event worthy. Truth stuff would be cool 10 years before this event aired but at this time he was just the 24/7 champ doing this? Erik Rowan Stuff was weird and the rey Mysterio getting replaced with the undertaker? awful everything. thee most pointless thing you'll ever seen that was only meant to hype up the Saudi crowd with the ending with the undertaker"

[7.0] "[3.5*] Very good match, although I think they gave Sammy too much offense. It was very 50/50 with a lot of big spots for the kid, he even got to do his first ever ear-work and was treated like a legitimate threat on this 16-min match, more time that guys like Takeshita, KOR and DG had with Mox. Mox was not feeling it at all lmfao so he geeked out the guy a couple of times, and these were my favorite moments of the match. At the end of the day I think less would have been more, and a glorified squash + a Sammy comeback sequence with a GTH kickout would have been better."

[6.0] "This was a fairly solid match, in my opinion. I understand the bad feelings about Natalya beating Vice, but I'm just hoping it leads to a little more down the line. What I mean by that is that I'm hoping Vice either gets a win over Natalya in a rematch, or I hope that it leads to Vice getting an even bigger win down the line."

[4.0] "A boring and unnecessarily long match without any fire. Some moments tried to be like this, but still looked lazy and uninspiring. Kitamiya and Soya could have done better, but even their part was like the rest of the match. Kondo wasn't memorable, and Inaba is one of the most boring guys in the roster and (very) rarely show what he can really do in terms of emotions."

[6.0] "Had some neat mat-based wrestling to start before going off into a familiar territory of Davey trying to measure up in the striking department but coming up short against the magnitude of Thatcher. Some slight slip-ups in the bridge between the mid-point and the finishing stretch but both men could think on their feet in time to keep the flow going. Thatcher's no-selling was insane at point, not a flinch for multiple stiff shots. [3.25]"

[6.0] "[3.25*] A match that didn't promise much and delivered what it promised, focused 100% on Ospreay's great acrobatic moves and Martinez's impact moves. It was supposed to be a David x Goliath mechanic but it wasn't very well executed when you see that most of Punishment's moves were "acrobatic" and Ospreay also really hurts the match with a weak Selling"

[8.0] "Great match to watch, especially considering both Shibata and Danielson were never supposed to wrestle again, and yet, here we are. Very hard hitting affair that lived up to its expectations. Only thing I noticed was that the crowd was a bit on the quiet side."

[5.0] "I'm probably going to catch some heat for this, but this match wasn't doing it for me. I have no problem with women doing these kinds of matches, but I feel like this wasn't the time to do it in this rivalry. This was only their second one on one matchup with one another, and the stipulation, and the match that followed, seemed like it would end the feud, but as we saw after this, it didn't. As such, it sort of dampens the match's impact, and the match itself, while shocking (which is, I'm sure, what they were going for), seemed like they were throwing together everything they could for shock value. They started at 100 mph and it seemed like they were rushing things, seeing as how the match was only 16 minutes long, and in retrospect, hardcore matches like this in AEW are 30 minute epics. As such, they seemed pressed to just do the most extreme things, and just move on to the next, like they were just going through the motions of pre-planned spots instead of making it feel like a real fight full of hatred and malice. On top of that, I've never really found Britt Baker to be that good of a wrestler; Thunder Rosa outclasses her imo. If you enjoyed this match, that's fine, and I can kind of understand. I just don't see how this match has the same Meltzer star rating (4.75) as the highest rated Kurt Angle match. 3/5"

[5.0] "The Crowd didn't really care, and the WWF didn't either judging by Morton and Gibson coming out to the Rockers old theme, but it was a fairly decent tag match mostly thanks to the Rock and Roll Express being very good at old school tags. It was missing some excitement but its not that bad"

[7.0] "An almost surprisingly good match here. I'm already a big fan of DIJAK, but Spears hasn't been as impressive in the ring, in my opinion. However, this was a nice opener for the show that made both men look really good. Hopefully Spears keeps it up. I also hope that DIJAk wins the North American Title at Stand & Deliver."

[6.0] "An upgrade from their meeting a day ago in Philly. They tried to follow the same format as last time, pitting Koko's quickness against Muraco's strength, but we only got that in the opening minutes. Muraco looked like he was about to explode at any point given how ridiculously big he was here! The Magnificent One used methodical, vicious-looking moves to smartly kill time and slow things down. This led to a super hot Koko comeback sequence where the Toronto crowd was ALL FOR. Just as this was picking up, it ended in an abrupt fashion due to the time limit. You know you are cooked when you are wrestling freakin' Koko B. Ware to a twenty-minute draw. These two are certainly capable of having a satisfactory twenty-minute bout, though it will probably never go beyond that level. Add this to the list of matches I enjoyed from a technical standpoint but never wish to see again. [***]"

[6.0] "This was a professional performance punctuated with a rare case of interference that made sense within the context of the match (in addition to the rivalry). The tornado DDT/spinning DDT combo in quick succession by Trent and Cassidy, respectively, was the most innovative and well-worked spot. But I thought the overall pace was good, and Taven/Bennett did a nice job of exhibiting a sense of enmity toward the Best Friends (Roderick Strong helped with this, as well). Otherwise, it just lacked that little bit of drama and struggle that you'd expect out of higher-rated match. I think it bodes well for the Tag Titles tourney, however, that both matches on this card were solid."

[9.0] "For a match where the outcome was somewhat predictable, I thought this was great. During the climax (i.e., after the final commercial break, during the uninterrupted overrun), I bit hard on the near-falls and counters (several of which were novel ways to escape). Like the Young Bucks match earlier in the night, I've got to applaud both guys in this match for doing some sequences and moves that aren't in their "standard" arsenal. Swerve's spinal tap and the Standing Swerve Stomp were good examples of this, as was Takeshita reversing Big Pressure into a Poisonrana. I especially like that Takeshita seems to be gaining credibility even in his losses (which is a credit to him obviously, but also to the style of matches that Ospreay and Swerve worked with him)."
