[2.0] "As a one match experiment, this felt rather random and lackluster, setting up a card of random match-ups with little logic and a winner that would be a weak challenger for the FIP Heavyweight Championship. Still, there was some entertainment in CM Punk's antics against James Gibson, as well as some credibility for DP Associates. Each future editions of the Florida Rumble would improve over this very rudimentary and awkward try run."
