[7.0] "In terms of pacing and structure, this felt like a match where FTR adjusted to working more on what Mike & Jet are used to in comparison to what they do in Collision, with this one being less on details and their tactics and more action-oriented; however, it wasn't at the expense of FTR working heel or sacrificing their known repertoire. That said, it was a complete blast, offering some exhilarating tandem combinations; their respective individual exchanges were sick, it had slick counters, and overall the action was fun. The closing stretch ramped the pacing up nicely. One of my favorite spots took place during the first ad break, where Dax took the Bret Hart turnbuckle chest thump, which was followed by Jet hitting his Standing UFO Splash, which made for an awesome fluid visual. I saw Dax do a dragon screw in between the ropes and then followed up with another dragon screw inside the ring, so I'm just going to assume he's been studying the Rika Tatsumi tapes. ***3/4"
[10.0] "This match opened hot, and never let up for the full 17 minutes. Not your typical FTR match, with almost the whole match allowing the babyfaces to shine. There were glimpses of heat, but Jetspeed relentlessly kept coming back. Jetspeed continues to impress and FTR since the heel turn have been firing on all cylinders. For a tv match, this was perfect."
[7.0] "An exciting television tag that admittedly, feels less FTR than I'd like. Their usual flavour isn't quite as prominent here, instead feeling more like a typical Dynamite thriller, with Dax and Cash facilitating. That's still an enjoyable watch, as JetSpeed are armed with fabulous offence, but it's not quite as striking as the alternative. ***1/2"
[8.0] "FUCK, this ruled. I'm absolutely loving this heel run from FTR, and Jet Speed are really starting to click as a team as well. These two teams meshed perfectly, and the finish was great with FTR only winning due to some dastardly cheating. ****"
[7.0] "Good stuff. Jet Speed work really well together and the contrast between their high flying and FTR's spiteful approach worked well. Good drama towards the end and a logical finish. ***3/4"
[8.0] "FTR mastered how to be entertaining and hated at the same time, nobody is doing it like them. Speedball is awesome. A bit too many kickouts or at least too consecutive, but they were done great, scratching the 3 count."
[8.0] "A very very good high pace hard hitting tag match between these two team. Jetspeed continue to shine the two best signings in pro wrestling this year in my view. They bring such great energy to every match that have whilst also doing some Cash and their electri chair drop kick is also great to see along with alll of the high paced kicks, strikes and dives. FTR are just brilliant as heel as it allows them to work the stylel they are best at as an 80s heel tag team with slow and methodicaly breaking down of there oppponets whilst also doing everything in there power to cheat to win. Love how well Big Stoke has fit in with them and really adds to the act and loved how he used the cructh to give Dax the extra leverage on the roll up to get the 3. Overall a great match with to many great spots for me to list and also all the kicks outs in this match were well timed and added to the drama of the match. (****1/4)"
[8.0] "Richtig starkes Match! Komplett offen geführt mit maximaler Protection für die Verlierer. Es war exakt nach den Stärken konstruiert und mit tollen Near Falls angereichert. Das Finish fand ich trotzdem irgendwie schade"
[9.0] "The highlight of this week's Dynamite in terms of in ring action, for sure. FTR, ah, what is there to say about them? I'm greatly enjoying their most recent work and I think they are very apparently the best tag team of the decade so far (they've far outrun in the Bucks in recent years, at least in my view). Their heel run has been very effective and it was nice to see them clashing up against a strong, clean cut babyface team. I did hope Speedball would find more of a singles niche and it's clear between him and Knight who is better, but I also like Knight and I think following Speedball's lead will serve him well as he continues to grow. I liked in this one how FTR were very dogged in trying to shut down JetSpeed's main tactic, their speed attacks (obviously), but the faces were really able to outstrip them in many cases and batter them with rapid attacks that threw them off their guard. FTR falling back to their basic anti-air tactics which they have honed over the years to finally halt that momentum, along with some underhanded moments of course, gave them the expected win. Also I don't care what the face/heel dynamic is, I WANT to see FTR vs. Hurt Syndicate please!"
[8.0] "Ein wirklich gutes Tag-Team-Match (Wertung eher 8, 5 als 8), FTR und JetSpeed liefern hier eine gute Mischung aus High-Flying, Stricking und klassischen Tag-Wrestling die zu überzeugen weis. JetSpeed haben sich aktuell zu einem der Top Tag-Teams bei AEW entwicklet. Allerdings befürchte ich, dass sie zur Zeit das Tag-Team sind, dessen Aufgabe es ist andere Teams gut aussehen zu lassen und sie Over zu bringen, ohne dabei selbst eine realistische Chance auf dei Titel zu haben."
[5.0] "FTR have proven themselves time and time again as the best tag team today. However, AEW keeps putting them against teams where the styles don't match at all. FTR are an old school tag team. They don't mesh with high flyers or luchadors that don't adhere to the traditional rules. I know this is the AEW style of working but why even have FTR on your roster if this is how you use them. It's definitely possible to have a great match with these two styles but JetSpeed need more experience. There was way too much rulebreaking and cooperation needed for this to look like any kind of competition."
[8.0] "easily one of the best tag matches on dynamite all year. Both teams had infinite chemistry. It was nice to see Kevin Knight in there with Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. My favorite part was getting to see Mike Bailey and Dax Harwood in the ring again. It was nice to see them rekindle some of their magic they made in their wrestle cade match a few years ago. overall, this match is a eight out of 10 stars."
[8.0] "This was very good tag match between FTR and Jetspeed the crowd was very good and into this match as well. FTR are Great Heels Jetspeed are good babyfaces and I love the Ending ***.75"
[8.0] "To start with, I love the arena with these balconies. Stokely sells Cope's attack from last week well. The crowd was very good, cheering for Jet Speed and booing FTR. FTR is still as good as a heel and I love this ending. Jet Speed could have won the match at one point, but the referee wasn't looking and therefore couldn't validate the count. Then we had Stokely who does an effective heel promo where the crowd reacted well, Cope arrives next and Cope can't attack FTR. Hurt Management can. It's super smart. Hurt Management is right to want to eliminate FTR from the tournament because they are a flagship team of the AEW and what's more, they have already had the titles, so their intervention is logical."
[6.0] "FTR are stooges and JetSpeed refuse to get worked over. That's the template. It leads to a bit of a wonky structure (even if narratively justified), with way too much happening at once and the focus of the bout being somewhat lost. Also, a bit on the longer side without much need for it. But it's at least satisfying in how Dax and Cash bump and cheat and Speedball refuses to let go of the advantage."
[6.0] "It's a very good tag team match it is and I get it's a tournament match so we aren't gonna have much reason to care but even that aside I enjoyed some of the recent ftr vs ourunners matches more especially the collision match. It's good but nothing amazing. ***1/2"

[7.0] "I expected a bit more from these two tag teams meeting in the first round but in the end this turned into quite a solid match. It's started off a bit slow with more focus on limb work but once the wheels were in motion this turned into another Dynamite banger. Would've liked the selling of both Mike Bailey and Kevin Knights legs to play more of a part in the finish but I'm happy with the heelish shenanigans of FTR and Big Stoke"
"[8.0] A very strong match to open the Tag Team tournament for Forbidden Door. The action was fantastic, the pace very good, all teams have benn able to shine. I'm glad that Cope didn't interfere in the match to let this banger unfold. I love the energy Mike Bailey puts in his matches. This JetBall team is very captivating. I loved the match. But the finisher felt a bit uneffective. The cane didn't help anything haha."
[7.0] "The best weekly match of July, or at least one of the best. The two teams' styles really matched well, and the changes of pace were well managed. High stakes and suspense, and that's how we arrive at a truly enjoyable result. In-ring quality: 2.5/4. Stakes: 0.75/2. Justification: 1/1. Place on the card: 1/1. Suspense: 1/1. Bonuses/penalties: none. Total: 7.25/10. Match seen on AEW Plus."
[8.0] "[****] A very good opener and surprisingly high profile teams for a tournament first round. This gives me hope there will be some big names filling out what is presently an unannounced bracket."
"Amazing tag team match today in AEW Dynamite between FTR one of the best tag teams of all time vs JetSpeed . I loved the chemistry between both of them{****.50} ."
[8.0] "I didn't think it would be a bad match but also didn't expect to be so captivated by it. FTR rarely loses though so some of the suspense wasn't there but still a very entertaining and fast paced match."
[9.0] "This was a surprising match, very good and very dynamic. The match progressed from less to more. Once they reached maximum speed, they never stopped again."
[8.0] "Unexpectedly super fun. It was a bit sloppy in places but going that extra five minutes really helped this match stand out more. I guess that was the benefit of Wheeler vs Hangman being so short. I can't say I envisaged JetSpeed lasting this long but they've put in a lot of work to feel like a proper tag team, even if I doubt this time next year they'll both be singles stars again."
[7.0] "This was a decent tag team match. Started out quite nicely with both teams following tag teams rule. FTT were mostly dominant. But there were some things that really turned me off. First of all Mike Bailey just can't escape his indie habits. Also his strikes look really ineffective. Kevin Knight has lots of potential and I really hope he breaks away from this tag team. There was this moment where FTR were sitting in a kneeled down position. Bailey and Knight also sat down in kneeled down position and started having sluggest. Absolutely cringe spot. Very indie inspired. I hated that. Dad kicked out from nearly a dozen pinfall attempts. At least some of those should have been shared with Cash to make it look less ridiculous. Otherwise match was fun."
