[0.0] "What the hell was this? A nonsensical angle disguised as a match that wastes the Tag Team Champions by feeding them to one guy while Paul Heyman shrieks into the mic every five minutes. I'm harsh on Taker's wrestling around this time, but this match being a stinker wasn't his fault. Taker fights to save Paul Bearer from being drowned in concrete, wins, and just kills him anyway for the hell of it. How WWE decided to let this match main event over the excellent JBL vs Eddie Guerrero Bull Rope match is beyond me. Avoid."

A really bad and bizarre start to a PPV that was very solid. The next match with Darby and Sammy would've been way hotter way to start things off and this could have been left off the card entirely and no one would have missed it in the slightest. Even if they were dead set on this being on the show I don't know why it was the opener."

[0.0] "This is, without question, one of the worst individual performances I have ever seen. I almost feel bad for giving this a 0, as it doesn't reflect two groups of people who worked very hard to make this work. The crowd, mostly children, are never quiet, buying into absolutely everything, giving the face/heel dynamic their all, and trying to make this a compelling experience. AJ Styles is also working incredibly hard, whether that is out of loyalty to someone who he had worked so closely with in the past, or simply just the love of the game I don't know, but he works like Ric Flair here (ironically enough considering their ongoing partnership in TNA at the same time), using every smoke and mirrors trick, classic heel tactic and bits of movie magic he can think of to cover for the overwhelming reality that is his opponent. I have seen the odd Air Paris match from the aforementioned tag team he and AJ were a part of in the dying days of WCW. I didn't think much of him, but he was hardly what I would consider a bad opponent. There is no easy way to say this then, but the 9 years between then and 2010 must have been some of the roughest a human can endure, because he looks and wrestles like a completely different person. He's immobile, his offence looks hilariously weak, his selling is completely mute and he has the charisma of a loose brick. AJ , god bless him, takes the majority of the match and tries to work around him. This would have probably helped to turn this match into simply a bad match, had it not been for the genius idea to have these two go 22 MINUTES! That decision right there (one that should probably come with it's own prison sentence) makes this a horrifying watch, as the time leaves poor Air Paris with nowhere to hide, and exposes his skillset, or lack thereof, to everyone unfortunate enough to see it. He stumbles around the ring taking the most basic offence AJ can do without selling any of it. When it is finally time for him to get on offense, absolutely everything he does looks weak. AJ simply doesn't have enough bells and whistles to make this stretch for long enough, and the final 10 minutes are absolute agony to get through. The real kicker however, comes at the climax, as we get a horribly executed double ref angle, where Mike Posey and a local ref argue over who has the power over the match. This enables Air Paris to , no joke, get a visual pinfall over AJ. Why the TNA world champion would allow this I don't know, but I guess AJ has a kinder heart than me. I could maybe handle this if the natural conclusion, that being AJ beating Paris once the ref drama had come to an end, had been the intended conclusion. However what we get instead is a no contest, where some local heels rush to the ring to beat up Paris and leave the match without a winner. Why AJ couldn't just beat a man as hopeless as Paris is beyond me, and I wonder if this was what TNA management were watching when they decided to take the belt off of him not too long afterwards."

And it's ridiculous it happened twice, back-to-back. Seriously, as X-Pac said, how the hell do you get DQ'd in Hell in a Cell?"

[0.0] "A dream match that never happened in their prime of their careers, and definitely should not have happened in 2018. Shawn should've stayed retired and Kane should've been doing his day job as mayor of Knoxville. The Taker vs. Cena "dream match" at Mania seven months prior was a squash because Vince thought Taker couldn't go, and yet, the blood money convinced him otherwise. It killed the twilight of Triple H's career through the torn pec. It robbed us of a Taker match at Mania 35. And it ruined what was a perfect send-off for the Heart Break Kid. If I could give this match less than zero, I would."

Crowd could not have cared any less here and I don't blame them as they never came close to getting into gear for something that should have been a pretty big match. This felt like a Rampage match not a title match and certainly not a title match on a PPV. No clue if the ending means they're gonna keep going with this but I hope not. Get that belt on Mercedes ASAP."

[0.0] "Tony should be ashamed this match brought down the whole show. Totally Cringe to see Darby take that needless bump on the glass and for Sting to take some of the bumps he did with his back. This was totally unnecessary and uncalled for. And lets not start on 70 year old Flair with his pacemaker there was no reason for Flair to get involved and take bumps. Flair's been wasted with his AEW run. This is something I would expect in a Death Match between two guys who hate each other and are locked in a bitter feud not a 60 year old man wrestling his final match. It did nothing. Lots of people bleed, Darby took a monster bump and no one got elevated because of the match."

[0.0] "This was a completely useless match and these are the types of matches that Tony khan needs to stop booking. An All Star match where nearly all of them were talent barely used or poorly used on TV. To top that off, it went way too long. Just a complete failure here. Dante Martin was atrocious here. Most of the spots were lazy, slow and predictable. I can appreciate them trying to get Wardlow a big win, but this was a god awful match."

[0.0] "This was a sloppy match, that I was thankful just settled for a long rest hold spot. I think the reaction of the crowd was the fact the performers took mercy on them and ended the match instead of trying to continue. Bad News Brown provided what you expected of him, and Ken Patera did some Ken Patera things."

[0.0] "This match had everything wrong. Not only did it stole the spotlight from the world title match (which should've been the main event), but in granting Sting a victory as a champion, it makes the Bucks look like buffoons. Also, babyfaces being 4 on 2 (or even 6 on 2 if we count Flair and Steamboat) are supposed to be cheered? But even discarding that, if the goal was go have Sting win the match, he shouldn't have been champion, that match had enough stakes. Also Darby is crazy and made me uncomfortable with tha bump."

Can't believe that this was Taker's second to last match but given how much he was slowing down in the late 2010s, maybe I can."

[0.0] "I absolutely love this match, and show it to so many people in my life. When I'm introducing people to wrestling my first step is to show a great, relatively short match with big defined characters (most often Bayley vs Banks 1, sometimes Pac vs OC but the DQ ending kinda throws me off of that). Next, I go for a high work rate match. Something truly flippy and nuts, like an old Ospreay match before he got good. Finally, I show them Ishii vs Shibata from that one G1, 28 I think? A perfect sampling board of wrestling, stories, flips and stiffness. I also show them this match. Understanding requires disparity; life is nothing without death, light is blinding without shadow. To understand what makes a wrestling match good, it helps for an audience to understand how a wrestling match can be bad. This match is very, very bad. My favorite wrestling reviewers once described it as "stone gargoyles fighting bins", and that's not inaccurate. The lowest move rate, the softest strikes, the most confused psychology, the oldest competitors, this one has it all. If you are trying to get someone in your life into wrestling, do not, under any circumstances, show them Omega vs Okada. Show them the real masterpiece; show them Luke and Butch licking some sweaty freaks. Side note, I did actually show my beautiful lesbian girlfriend Omega vs Okada first and that worked out so. fuck my drag i guess."

[0.0] "Did not like this at all. A good reminder that you don't have to have a trainwreck of a match to have an awful match. This is the kind of match that gives technical wrestling a bad rap. Not really technical in any meaningful way, purely surface level stuff and not executed with any conviction. The story for this match was simple enough to deliver and they completely whiffed. This is a match that probably killed Deonna's "Virtuoasa" gimmick for good and just made everyone realize despite the big gimmick change, Toni is still bland as hell."

Satnam did not look good which sucks because he has a massive presence and could be something. Everyone else was just trying to get through this and as usual Billy Gunn is the focus."

[0.0] "For my money worse than the "minus five star" Bushwhackers match. This is the biggest disgrace of a match in pro wrestling history. Thankfully Jake Roberts has taken steps to turn his life around and has rehabbed his image through various appearances. The same cannot be said as much for the other three, who have sadly passed on since this match - including a near-death Yokozuna. At a point you have to cut your losses and kill the feed so no one has to see this match."

[0.0] "How embarrassing, I'm not sure how this match was fun in any way, it was one of the worst matches AEW has ever put so I'll just assume this has a high rating because peop. Stings kids being younger versions of himself was next level cringe. The match was just a collection of skits, it wasn't a match, nothing flowed. The Bucks could have carried a good match but instead they did this. They just had to get in their dig at CM Punk by using real glass, because they're so petty. Of course the Jacksons weren't stupid enough to take the bump, but Darby is real stupid! That stupid bump with no build up or purpose and of course, maybe one day he'll bleed out doing one of those pointless spots. The way JR called the stupid bump, as if it was the stupidest thing he'd ever seen in his life summed it all up. Of course the Bucks are geeky Shawn Michaels wannabes so they played off of his cringiest moment were not sorry we hate you."

I thought to myself "oh, come off it, she's got a bit of charisma and a body-positivity gimmick to her, how bad could she really be? " This is so goddamn hilariously bad, it's like some alleyway in time down to the horrible women-led wrestling promotions of the 2000's. No story, no reasons to cheer or boo anyone, no selling, no nothing! Two notable things that happened , Katie got her arse out for a few seconds (weird but okay) and the finish involved Katie spitting water into the ref's eyes by accident and then winning via crooked roll-up. That bit was really funny. Genuinely misguided efforts from the bookers, here. Pack it up, lads. [1.5]"

[0.0] "[0.00/5.00]: This match did little to advance any storyline and failed to engage the crowd. The booking seemed needlessly convoluted for what should have been a straightforward bout. It was simply boring, with the audience remaining quiet throughout most of it. A straightforward victory for Sullivan would have sufficed, but instead, they opted for a disqualification, which didn't resonate well with the audience. Overall, it was a lackluster and poorly executed match."

[0.0] "[0.00/5.00]: The match started off promisingly with a focus on short, high-impact sequences, but it quickly deteriorated. Goldberg appeared to struggle, possibly due to being knocked loopy after certain spots, leading to several dangerous moments, including a botched jackhammer and tombstone piledriver. The quick finish seemed to be a necessary end to a match that had gone off the rails. Both Goldberg and Undertaker seemed to struggle with moves they had executed flawlessly throughout their careers, leaving a feeling of disappointment and concern for their well-being. Despite the iconic visual of Undertaker and Goldberg facing off, the overall match was a letdown and not worth revisiting."

Then Madusa gets kicked off of one by Douglas and lands on a super obvious crash pad with barely a thud. Then Kidman gets thrown off the scaffold which is normally how they're won but that doesn't end the match. Then Torrie gingerly climbs down the ladder and that ends the match? I was too confused to care."

[0.0] "Legitimately worse than their WrestleMania match in my opinion. Giant Gonzalez could not sell at all and I don't fault a (green, comparative to the rest of his career) Undertaker at all for how bad this was.

[0.0] "Sting's entrance was the best part. I don't want to do the mental gymnastics of how much I should shave off the rating for a stupid stupid spot like that, I'm going with nil. Sting's entire run with AEW has felt written by someone who had never seen him on TV but saw a picture of Sting with the bat and assumed he was like The Sandman. The montage right before the match reminds you of how different this era is from any other point in his career, and Sting is the best at evolving and adapting, they could have made the match a tapestry of all this man had to offer, but they just had him do AEW bullshit again. Nobody has anything bad to say about Sting and I can't help wonder how he feels about this match, and if maybe he's just way too nice a guy to push what he would want to do."

The story was nicely building to MJF being in too deep trying to defend two titles and on this show he just comes out, cuts a promo making The Righteous look like idiots, and then goes an wrestles a match that makes them look like bigger idiots and then just beats them. All this match needed to be was MJF finding a way to beat two men, instead it was a joke about putting one guys head up anothers ass and then doing that and winning like it was nothing. Seriously a bizarre and useless match."

I'm sorry but while DX vs the Brothers of Destruction would have been a CLINIC in 2001, 2006 or even 2010, 2018 was WAY TOO LATE for it to happen. While yes, not all matches between the old guard is necesarily trash (see Edge/Christian at World's End), 95% of the time you end up with an embarassment for the ages and this was the epitome of that, Shawn looked alright but the others were just so out of it. Hunter's injury only worsened things as this shit just dragged on and on for damn near half an hour. Yeah, TWENTY EIGHT FRICKIN MINUTES for three guys who have clearly seen better days and another who hadn't been in a wrestling ring since Obama's first term. Truly abhorrent and more than deserving of the multiple Worst Match of the Year dishonors it has recieved in the years since."

Literally no crowd reaction, very little entertainment, and a massively confusing ending made this match incredibly forgettable, no wonder many aren't talking about this match apart from that ending which made little to no sense and ultimately made this feud between the Lucha House Party and Lars Sullivan one of the worst feuds of 2019. I would give this a negative rating if I could. One of the worst handicap matches of all time and there is some dishonorable competition in that regard too."

[0.0] "I've come around on Cody majorly in the last couple years but this match is still broken. It's built around two major things, the betrayal of MJF throwing in the towel on Cody's behalf and the stipulation that he could never challenge for the belt again if he lost. The MJF turn was totally ridiculous and didn't work because he was such an established asshole this quickly into the run that the betrayal was obvious and just made Cody (in character) look like a massive dumbass. The second is that the stipulation not only robbed audiences of a more satisfying ending to the narrative (Cody getting another chance to see what he could do against the champion without someone calling it quits for him after he'd resolved his beef with MJF) but it was directly responsible for the downfall of Cody's AEW run so quickly into its tenure. He was so unbelievably over as a babyface here in a way he'd never again be in AEW and the lack of ability to take a full on main event run through this decision took away a lot of the investment in his character, and put him in a role of perpetual mid-card feuds where he inevitably beat talent that people wanted to see establish themselves. He maybe shouldn't have won (Moxley beating Jericho was a good decision, although Cody vs Mox would have been huge in early 2020) and likely would have always left the company, but the stink of unfulfilled babyface potential for Cody in Jacksonville exudes from this match. The action is fine and Cody and Jericho both played their roles well, meaning that this rating might seem harsh, but it is arguably the most detrimental and stupid series of booking decisions within a single match in AEW history."

Ultimately, the only thing you remember is that Bret Hart ran in, was sent to the back, then ran back in again 2 minutes later (I have no idea what the point of that was), and that Sid failed to break an announce table. The rest was just brawling without selling, and rest holds! If you like rest holds, we've got them! They had Bret/Austin and yet this was what they chose to close the show. Maybe the Streak was just all bad."

[0.0] "Yeah this was an absolute shit show. At this time of WWE in 2018, Carmella already solidified herself as the absolute WORST modern women's champion since both women's titles were introduced in 2016, her annoying as-you-can-get heel character which had Go-Away heat was just obnoxious to watch and it was a reason not to watch Smackdown at this time (RAW was much worse by the way). This match signified the end of Asuka's career of dominance in WWE, after losing at Wrestlemania to Charlotte Flair and snapping her winning streak, Asuka became a joke to watch and it wasn't doing her any favors when she became a glorified enhancement jobber to Carmella, who I already said was the WORST modern women's champion up to this point (and probably still is). Imagine making Asuka a glorified jobber to Carmella, how much thought has to go in one's mind to know that is a really dumbass idea. Putting Ellsworth in a cage was just unbelievably stupid, and ultimately, Carmella used the cage to her advantage when it was being lowered and slammed Asuka into it to get the winning pinfall and retain her title, continuing her dreadful reign of terror. Good grief this was absolutely awful. Since I can't make the ratings negative here, a 0 just for this match existing in it's form and for humiliating Asuka and making her look like a fool."

He also ate a nasty power bomb through a chair before the strap was even retrieved, so yeah, they pretty much buried the stipulation in plunder. Highlight was Effy hurling chairs from ringside with stunning accuracy and Warner selling them like ECW-era Terry Funk. The finish with the power drill to the hair, ref bump, Allie Katch botching her one spot and Alec Price and Cole Raddick hanging out trying to look menacing like Jimbo & Dolph was every bit as lame as it sounds DUD"

Kurt was not the same as he had been even 3 years earlier and anyone else relevant to his career could've bumped for him and carried him to a much better match.

Had this been a month or two into the feud and they did it on Nitro then I could almost excuse it because you wouldnt be expecting the blow off yet and it would have worked well as a way to use a TV match as a way to set up a rematch on a show that you had to pay for. However, we were SEVEN months into the feud by this stage, waaaaaay past the point they should have been blowing the thing off, and doing such a terrible finish on a show that people had to pay money to see was straight up offensive"

[0.0] "Outside of a few occasions, the crowd was not remotely invested in this and there was barely anything of interest taking place inside the cage. Also, Hogan having everyone knocked out and not trying to pin a single one of them made him look like an absolute idiot, along with making all of the WCW and Wolfpac guys look like ineffective goobers (but what else is new? ). You cant even say that it was because he hadnt officially entered yet either, because he was in there long enough for the end of Nashs section to end, so Hogan was technically a legal entrant when hed taken everyone out. DDP was a good choice for the winner as he was legitimately one of the top stars in the company at the time, but like with Konnan in the prior bout, one of the biggest wins of his WCW career ended up meaning very little due to how bad the match itself was. This is one of those matches where youd be embarrassed if a non-fan caught you watching it"

Zach has been incredible in the last year and this was no exception. ZSJ's striking might actually be his most underrated ability. His elbow strikes have the most crisp SLAP of any in Japan. Oh...and then HoT happened. Boring, repetitive, dull, uninspired, lazy, awful, brain-dead, infantile, insulting, pointless, HoT happened.

This match feels like it shouldn't even be in the matchguide it so thoroughly isn't really even a match. There's a reason it's called the ghastly match. I feel bad for even letting my curiosity get the better of me and watching it, this match's existence should just be buried. The only value it has is as an example of how bad things can get when you fail to handle backstage issues, and when a ref needs to make the call to just stop the match. Fucking infuriating."

[0.0] "The nadir of the WWE Championship hot potato booking of 2022. The burial of Big E at Day 1 was already bad, but the lead-up to this match was even worse. First, Bobby wins the title at the Royal Rumble to set up Brock winning the Rumble match itself and yet another Roman/Brock Mania event. Fine, you'd think. But then Vince decides he wants to unify the titles, which whilst a decent decision in isolation, doesn't mesh with Lashley having the belt. So they contrive this mess of a match to get the belt back on Brock's waist. Lashley doesn't even get to defend the title, being taken out because of a bullshit "concussion protocol" reason instead of the legitimate "he tweaked his shoulder against Brock a month ago" reason. So instead of vacating the belt and adding some intrigue to Mania, we get this. Absolute embarrassment."

I felt so bad for Marafuji but the real disappoint was Kenoh vs Soya was not the main event, those guys put on a great match.

[0.0] "I wanted to like this, I really did. But there are some times in which the finish of a match absolutely ruins what preceded it. If Cody won? I would've probably given it a 10. If Cody came up short and Roman won clean as a whistle? I probably would've given it a 10. That's how much I liked the first half hour of this match. I know Cody probably wanted to lose this match because he's so invested in the shine-heat-comeback-finish structure on a larger scale (and hopefully he does sticks the landing), but the interference spot from Solo feels, much like a night with Vince McMahon, like someone took a shit on your head when all you wanted was a romantic evening. Cody's biggest problem in this storyline is that by wanting to look like a hero tackling adversity, he ends up looking like a chump instead. It happened here, it happened in the Lesnar feud, it happened in the Rock feud. Not only that, but it led the way for a year of lazy booking of Roman, although Cornette is so fed-pilled at this point you can't use the soundbite. Because, after all, what has Roman done since then? He had the Bloodline Civil War, but that jumped the shark at SummerSlam. The man has been such an absentee champion that it makes Brock Lesnar look like a workhorse, and nearly all of those matches have ended in interference finishes courtesy of either Solo or Jimmy Uso. I've been going over the past decade of WWE PPVs recently, and there are certain times where I've given harsh ratings to matches I might've otherwise liked, if they represent the original sin of some terrible period. And, well this is one of the biggest ones, I'll be honest with you. This exposed Triple H to the point where it's obvious the emperor had no clothes, but yet, I still feel like the child in the story waiting to shout it out whilst everyone is glad-handing the king and telling him how much the Bloodline is "cinema". Well, if it's "cinema", it's as overrated and undercooked as Zack Snyder's Justice League, with the annoying fanbase to match. Haitch winning "booker of the year" in 2023 was the obvious consolation prize for him missing out for when he deserved it in 2022, because everything about the past year in nearly every feud has had the distinct feeling of a holding pattern. But a plane eventually runs out of fuel, and there's only enough in the wings left for most of these stories to go until WrestleMania XL. WWE now stands at a crossroads (or should that be Cross-Rhodes? ). If they're not careful, this could be their Starrcade 1997 moment. But I still have a naïve faith they'll pull through in the end to make it all worthwhile. But, you know, as much as we all love the Yes! Movement from a decade ago, that didn't retroactively make those last four months of 2013 worth anything at all."

OWN is gassed and he doesn't know how to bump, He just does Warrior schtick but I don't think he can lift Steinblock over his head so he just does weak looking strikes.

I hope Ibushi retires for good, although I know hell probably push himself too far again for a return. Marufuji shouldve lost his presidency for his part in the match also, he apparently lobbied to get it on last and he shouldve said no to the match all together.

Just never gets any tangible momentum at all, always feels like it's stuck in the second gear and time constantly feels like it's standing still here. Have to be incredibly stupid to think Angle in this condition should be working with 2006 Mark Henry in the *main event* of a Big 4 PPV. This being the PPV main event may just tip it over the edge of ludicrous. Genuinely more reliable match-making logic could be found on the WWE Games' Universe Modes.
