[5.0] "TNA really tried to satisfy their og fans with this return of the stable, however it was not the same, most of the guys were not main eventer at the moment. They return only to face Aces and Eight's but this storyline was kinda bad and Rampage Jackson did the best but it was not enough to pass the standard."
[2.0] "A real sign of desperation tbh, TNA were not in a good place and were creatively struggling and this poor imitation of a not great to begin with gimmick is a sign of that"
[6.0] "This group did not live up to the hype but I think they are being underrated somewhat. I enjoyed the way they were put together and the addition of Rampage Jackson was a pretty interesting one, though I suppose it didn't fully pan out in the end. Still, I have a slight like for this group."
[5.0] "It's not that I hated them, it was the inclusion of "Rampage" Jackson that ruined it. Sting & Kurt Angle fitted fine since they were from the original formation and Samoa Joe was a fine fit, especially if he was pushed as the enforcer. Magnus was the wild card however, hyped as a man who could one day become a world champion. Since I like Magnus, I thought he was a good choice, but it was the inclusion of Jackson that was off. The guy wasn't allowed to get in any fights at all so in the end, he was pointless. Out of nowhere, Jackson was gone and Angle had to go on hiatus for his own personal reasons, leaving MEM with only three men. The second coming of the Main Event Mafia could have been great, but poor planning and unseen circumstances held it back and it could not be saved. We can at least be thankful that the faction split up before any more damage occurred."
[3.0] "The new Main Event Mafia concept started out pretty good with Sting getting a family together to get rid of the Aces & Eights once and for all. It started out with 3 past members too which was also good and I thought it was very cool that they let a future star with a whole lot of promise and potential like Magnus into the new MEM, but then they brought in Rampage Jackson to be a part of it and that made me lose interest in the new Main Event Mafia stable to be honest because I cared less and less about what Rampage Jackson was doing on TNA TV. Also as of today, another problem with this stable is that lately it seems like the team is dwindling down because Kurt Angle went to rehab then came back and is doing his own thing, Rampage Jackson was pulled off TV so he can train for his fight against Tito Ortiz which thank god for that, so now the only members you have are Sting, Samoa Joe, & Magnus but now it seems like Samoa Joe is kind of going off and doing his own thing as well so it doesn't feel like these guys are much of a team anymore. Plus their mission to get rid of the Aces & Eights has become pretty meaningless now cause for the most part, the Aces have gotten rid of themselves with the exception of Devon and Wes Brisco who got defeated by the Main Event Mafia."
[3.0] "Nun ist man bei TNA also soweit, dass man nicht abegenutzte WCW-Ideen, sondern abgenutzte eigene Ideen wieder aufwärmt. Besser macht das die Sache aber auch nicht. Dass die Main Event Mafia in der Erstauflage eine gewisse Coolness hatte und auch insgesamt gut funkioniert hat, ist schwer von der Hand zu weisen. Dass lag aber eben auch an dem Exklusiven World Champion Club-Nimbus, der fast epischen Gründung in Las Vegas, dem ein oder anderen definitiv epischen Scott Steiner-Moment - und der Tatsache, dass man die Heels spielte. Diesmal hat man nichts davon. Stattdessen zitiert Sting in der langweilsten Stable-Gründung, die man sich nur irgendwie vorstellen könnte, ausgerechnet die Leute zusammen wegen deren mangelnder Hilfe er überhaupt glaube (s)eine Mafia wieder brauchen zu müssen. Und auch wenn man diese Logiklöcher mal außer Acht lässt, wirkt die Main Event Mafia 2013 einfach nur noch wie fünf Herren im mehr oder weniger gehoben Alter, die alle deutlich zu viel The Sopranos geguckt haben."
[5.0] "Nicht ansatzweise so gut wie das Original, ob da noch was Gutes folgt? Ich bezweifel es! Furchtbar fand ich auch Kurt Angles Sonnenbrille, die er immer zum Anzug trug."
