[5.0] "Vom Opener bleibt mir nur in Erinnerung, dass Darby Allin mal diese hässliche Jacke loswerden sollte und ich Cole Karter nicht sehen möchte. Keith Lee & Swerve tauchen plötzlich Backstage wieder auf. Ich hatte sie fast schon wieder vergessen, wie lange waren die weg? Super Booking jedenfalls. The Acclaimed haben Unterhaltungswert, aber hätte man aus der Konstellation mit den 4 Tag Teams nicht noch irgendwie eleganter auf Private Party vs Jarret & Lethal hinleiten können? Bei Rampage finde ich die Kombination Jarret & Lethal sogar ganz nett. Athena hingegen bleibt ziemlich blass und schwach. Im Main Event habe ich die ganze Zeit nur auf House of Black gewartet, die kamen dann erst nach dem Match. Best Friends gegen House of Black klingt auch nicht nach der Paarung, auf die die Menschen gewartet haben. Insgesamt war Rampage größtenteils passabel, aber nie gut."
[5.0] "Der Opener war passabel, aber zu kompetitiv für meinen Geschmack und hätte so mehr zu Dark oder Elevation gepasst. Backstage gibt es ein okayes Segment mit Keith Lee und Shane Taylor um ein Match für den ROH PPV fest zu machen, Lee und Swerve scheinen immer noch zu teamen. Danach gibt es ein nettes Videosegment für die Fehde zwischen den Resten der Dark Order und La Faccion Ingobernable, macht die Fehde aber auch nicht besser. In-Ring gibt es eine Promo von The Acclaimed, und leider gehen sie mir langsam ein bisschen auf die Nerven. Die anderen Teams die auftauchen, lockern das Ganze immerhin etwas auf. Das Hypevideo für The Bunny vs. Shida war okay, Tripple J vs. Private Party war dann leider auch nicht mehr als ein passables Tag Team Match und daher wenig interessant. Nach einem netten Sitdown-Interview mit Saraya gibt es einen kurzes Squashmatch mit Athena, die als Heel so viel interessanter wirkt. Die Videopromo von Juice Robinson hab ich irgendwie gar nicht gefühlt, was seine Performance angeht. Der Main Event war dann durchaus solide und streckenweise unterhaltsam. Ordentliches Match mit viel Comedy drin. Im Aftermath positioniert sich Kip Sabian als Contender für den All-Atlantic Title, was auch eher egal ist, das The House of Black noch auftauchten war zwar nett, aber unbedeutsam. Die Show an sich war zwar okay, aber nahezo von vorn bis hinten irrelevant. Natürlich kann man sich das ansehen, schlecht war das nichts. etwas verpassen tut man aber leider auch nicht wirklich."
[7.0] "Die Ausgabe von Rampage ist nicht die allerwichtigste, aber solides Wrestling kann man dennoch sehen. Carter gegen Allin ist gut als Verknüpfung eines losen Endes, das darin bestand, dass Carter als Fake Sting aufgetreten ist. Jeff Jarrett ist immer noch in erstaunlicher Form und durchaus noch auf dem Niveau, das er auch schon bei TNA hatte. Bemerkenswert und auf jeden Fall schön zu sehen, dass er so fit ist, wo es eine Zeitlang ja auch Meldungen über Abhängigkeitsprobleme und Rehaprogramme über ihn gab. Cassidy-Marshall lebt von Cassidys Bugs-Bunny-Tricks und Marshall läuft wie Elmer Fudd in jede einzelne Falle. Unterhaltsam fand ich das schon."
[6.0] "Solide Rampage Ausgabe. Allin gegen Karter fand ich intressant. Match hatte ja sogar einen kleinen Hintergrund. Für Karter natürlich ein guter Gradmesser. Ich halte den immer noch für talentiert und das hat man in Ansätzen hier auch gesehen. Solides Match. Das Tag Team Match danach war auch vollkommen ok. Nichts war lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird aber dennoch solide Action. Athena gegen Mo zeigte Atheans Charakter endlich mal in den TV Shows. Das kam auch glaub ich gut rüber. Mo ist auc eine gute Gegnerin dafür. MOTN ist der Main Event. Cassidy gegen Marshall war gut. Marshall weiß ja was er macht und Cassidy ist im Moment in jedem Match gut drauf. Insgesamt war das eine schnell zu schauende, solide Ausgabe."
[0.0] "You have so much talent, and somehow you book the worst combinations, OC facing another jobber for the title, Darby facing another jobber, and Private Party jobbing Double J and Lethal, this show have the debut of CM PUNK!"
[6.0] "Rampage needs to be a bit stronger, but this one was solid. Karter had a good showcase while the Lumberjack was a funny moment. A thought for Private Party, poor guys had to job for Jarrett, ugh."
[4.0] "Nix großes, aber auch nix unbedingt wirklich komplett schlechtes. Kein Match was wirklich überzeugen konnte, trotzdem war es einfach nur inordnung. 4 Punkte hier sind vollkommen berechtigt."
[7.0] "The action kicked off with a solid back-and-forth bout b/w Darby & Karter. This is the grudge that begun his downward spiral & it was settled in a strong way. Karter wasn't giving up that easy & if he improvises the other fundamentals, he'll become a pretty good breakout star. The Acclaimed had their fun moment with a rap & their next challenge in FTR as well as future options in Gunn Bros and Lethal & Jarrett. The latter had a decent start as a regular team despite being unliked by most fans. I'm disappointed to see them rise up as a duo at the expense of the highly talented Private Party. Athena's rage continues towards Final Battle which raises my hope on her trajectory in the brand moving forward. The main event was worth a chuckle as two entertainers did their best in terms of character cementing & in-ring action. Sabian standing out to almost cost Cassidy the title signals the next pathway for him until he possibly drops the ball to Malakai who's rejuvenated to an even violent self. Just like last week, this was a solid rush hour which meant little to nothing newsworthy. I hope this is the final run-of-the-middle Rampage as the promise is given by management to enhance the quality of this show. 6.5 out of 10 points!"
[6.0] "Definitely not a must-watch show but they turned a lackluster card into an entertaining hour of TV. I don't understand why TK doesn't book better matches for Rampage tho."
[3.0] "Probably the definition of an episode which is "Just there". Having a gimmick match in the main event maybe makes this a little more interesting than it would be otherwise but nothing here truly felt worth seeing. That's down to the matches being basic whilst also having no interesting build. It's essentially a series of so-so matches wrapped around a promo for Final Battle. I feel like this episode is more of a '4' in terms of quality but, as I've said too many times about Rampage recently, a one-hour show shouldn't be able to feel this boring. It does feel like there was some more effort compared to a month or so ago just by having a Darby match and a gimmick main event, but we're still not seeing something which really clicks."
[4.0] "Yet another episode of "Matches that were too mediocre for Dynamite so we chucked them onto this B show nobody cares about" AKA Rampage. Nothing on here is worth tuning in for, just a big ol' waste of time."
[6.0] "Although this was an overall solid show with decent matches, I genuinely don't understand how its so hard for TK to make an above decent card for Rampage. You have arguably the best wrestling roster in the world right now and the absolute best you can come up with is QT Marshall in the main event? I don't know, it just seems silly to me."
[8.0] "Really? This was a pretty good Rampage episode that managed to overdeliver despite having a filler card. The opening match with Cole Karter vs Darby Allin was good, and the former actually impressed me in the ring (since Karter hasn't done much for me in the ring over the last several months up until now). The tag match with Private Party vs Jeff Jarrett/Jay Lethal was decent and harmless. Athena got to kick that enhancement talent's ass a lot here, which was pretty fun to see her violent side. The main event with Orange Cassidy vs QT Marshall was a good Lumberjack match that had a fun ending to the show with House of Black arriving to destroy everyone. Honestly, the overall score deserves to be higher. I'm giving this an 8 since I really enjoyed last night's show."
[6.0] "Decent show overall. Athena needs to watch herself because if she keeps going after referees she is liable to find herself out of AEW/ROH altogether. It is one thing to be aggressive, it is another to be psychotic. Athena may be bordering on that line. House of Black seems to be making a statement by declaring war on the entire AEW locker room. With them involved it may be hell to pay."
[5.0] "This is probably one of the most bittersweet AEW shows I've seen in a long time. Pretty average wrestling and we could highlight the Main Event at best."
[2.0] "I am so sick and tired of what AEW has been doing lately. I am not some troll, if you saw some of my past reviews, I am typically very high on this promotion. But this week was a bit of a breaking point for me. Rampage was AWFUL this week. I'm not sure there was really one thing I could say I really enjoyed this week. The matches were just there and most of the rest was cold setups for the ROH PPV next week. The build for that PPV has been HORRIBLE, by the way. Yeah, great, Athena is showing more intensity and becoming a good heel - hasn't really made me excited for her match next week. The SioG/STP tag match build was out of nowhere and cold. And the situation around the AEW tag titles is laughably bad. Not only is the FTR/Acclaimed match made on 5 days notice with hardly any prior build, but you insert The Gunns and Lethal & Jarrett! ? What a joke. Just an absolute fumbled job from beginning to end. The only reason this score isn't lower is because it was more competent of a show than Vince's RAW at its worst."
"AEW is basically using Rampage as another episode of Dark and it? s extremely disappointing to see. There never seems to be any must see matches on here which is disappointing considering the first episode was so strong with the Omega vs Christian banger"
[3.0] "Das war für mich in Gänze wieder Skip-Material. Ein paar Entwicklungen nimmt man mit (FTR & HoB), aber der Aufbau dafür ist auch einfach nicht überragend. Schwache Geschichten, maues bis durchwachsenes Wrestling. Kann man sich schenken, in meinen Augen."
[6.0] "Allin vs. Carter was pretty good. Lethal and Jarrett vs. Private Party was pretty forgettable. Athena looked pretty good in her squash match. Cassidy vs. Marshall had some moments, but it felt like what was happening with the lumberjacks overshadowed the in-ring action for large chunks of the match. As for setting up future matches, I'm happy to see Shane Taylor setting up a tag match at Final Battle. I'm happy that we'll get FTR vs. The Acclaimed. Also happy to hear that Juice Robinson is with the company now, and seeing him fight Joe should be fun."
[5.0] "The show is the epitome of "transitional". Basic and ugly, in my opinion, matches, with some funny thing here and there but with an overall sensation of not important thing."
[8.0] "That was much better than i expected, all 3 matches were good, there were some important announcements like Acclaimed vs FTR, Darby vs Joe and Joe vs Juice. The ending with the House of black attacking everyone is the kind of stuff that the stable needs to look more like a threat."
[7.0] "Eine solide Rampage Ausgabe. Gutes Lumberjack Match im Main Event mit OC und QT, plus Aftermath mit House of Black. Athena macht in ihrer neuen Rolle auch viel Spaß. Darby hatte eine gute Promo und das Tag Team Segment konnte auch überzeugen."
[6.0] "An OK episode this week, slightly better than feared when reading the spoilers. The matches weren't great, with Darby Allin and Cole Karter being a fine standout. The Acclaimed vs. FTR got made official for next week's Dynamite, and Samoa Joe will be kept busy, facing Allin on Dynamite for the TNT Title, and then Juice Robinson (newly signed) at ROH Final Battle for the ROH TV Title. They also referred to the Preston Vance turn when Dynamite didn't, and they just about squeezed in a House of Black attack to close the show."
