[7.0] "I don't usually watch pre-shows ever, I just so happened to be watching it at the right time. Nothing too crazy here, just some really entertaining matches with a lot of wrestlers I like quite a bit. The 16 Man Tag Team was fun as hell, Ishii & Nightingale vs. Statlander & Hathaway was really entertaining, and the Ten Man Tag Team was also good, especially with the Iron Claw spot at the end. That and Hayter's return was great."
[3.0] "A pretty pointless pre show event that does not add too much to the real event (that by the way has also a lot of filler matches. The first match with multi man tag team match that felt a bit sloppy and not so well worked. A second match with some good background behind it, with comedy and also storyline progression (maybe this was the highest point of the show. And finally the main event that had good wrestling but as the first match, does not make the difference in this event and for the other storyline progressions. Almost an inadequate event if it was not for the Hayter return. [*1/2]"
[6.0] "A good pre-show to start off this superb evening. Although the 2-hour duration is still a bit long given the lack of interest in the discussions outside the matches. The matches were nothing extraordinary, but it was a good start and a pleasure to see many of the wrestlers from the roster. The return of Jamie Hayter and the beautiful pop helped to give this preshow a real boost. In-ring quality: 1.75/4 Angles: 0.75/2 Bonus/Malus: -0.25 as out-of-match discussions are often pointless. Total 6.25/10. Show seen on site."
[6.0] "The biggest event for the company this year presented an amusing and entertaining Zero Hour, which featured three decent matches, with an adequate length, and one segment that contained the long awaited Jamie Hayter's return, attacking Saraya and her family, clearly the best moment of the first two hours of the event. 1. 16 Man Tag Team Match: an enjoyable showcase for numerous wrestlers who deserved a spotlight in Wembley, resulting in a fast-paced and intrepid tag team match [***]. 2. Mixed Tag Team Match: the sizzling feud between Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale cooled slightly with the weird but funny confrontation between Tomohiro Ishii and Stokely. The result was an irrelevant match, which deserved being substituted with a singles match in the main card for the event between the female wrestlers [***]. 3. Ten Man Tag Team Match: a fundamentally inconsistent tag team match with the face team getting the victory, with the pleasant appearance of veterans, like Dustin Rhodes and Shibata, and future prospects, like the Von Erichs and Sammy Guevara, and the pleasurable post-match, with Kevin Von Erich executing his famous Iron Claw [** 3/4]. Rating: Light to Decent 6. Stars: ***."
[8.0] "So glad they found a way to put so many of the hardworking wrestlers of AEW on the card. The opener was a surprise treat. The pop for Kip Sabian was tremendous. Wish he would have gotten the pin. Kyle Fletcher is outstanding. Bro will one day headline All In. Stokely was hilarious in the middle match. Fun 5-man tag match with Von Erichs and Dustin (we need a stable name) was great. Finally a great bit between Saraya/Harley and a returning Jamie Hayter."
[7.0] "Opener and main-event weren't bad at all, the mixed tag honestly left a bit to be desire since I expected it to be the match of the previous. I would say that at times the teams were really way too much random but overall this was a good pre-show. ***1/2"
[6.0] "A perfectly fine zero hour. Nothing on here worth seeking out but it gets the job done and gets people on the Wembley card. Hayter's return was awesome but deserved to be on the main card. 6/10"
[5.0] "I didn't had anything fun here. The matches were too bland even for kickoff standards. The only good thing was hayter's return and it deserves to be on the main event.."
[6.0] "Standard Pre show with the great return of Jamie Hayter - all three matches were fine / good with parts that were great - bit disappointed the mixed tag didn't get more time though (6/10)"
[8.0] "The first match was used to give his Wembley moment to several wrestlers, and it worked like that. The second match was supposed to be funny, but I hoped a bit more from Stat vs Willow. The last match was a disaster. However, all was eclipsed by the moment... THE MOMENT... the return of JAMIE HAYTER. I missed her so much."
[6.0] "A decent enough pre-show that gave everyone involved a Wembley moment, with three action filled tag matches and a surprise return. On the way to the stadium I joked about there being a 86 man tag added so Tony Khan could get the rest of the roster on the card. I was out by about 70 but it was an entertaining opener. Enjoyed the Satnam Singh/Lion Rush spot, as well as seeing the likes of Dynamite Kid in action. Stokely was funny during his bit. Was also nice to catch the likes of Willow Nightingale, Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs live. The return of Jamie Hayter was the highlight though."
[5.0] "Credit to Tony Khan for making sure 30 wrestlers got to experience Wembley Stadium on this pre show. With that said, I cant imagine ever wanting to rewatch any of these matches. They were fine as a warmup, but two of them were ridiculously bloated."
[5.0] "This Zero Hour was an alright pre-show to All In London. You can tell that most of these matches (outside the Statlander and Willow one) were designed to get as many people on this card as possible and I didn't really mind that. The big 16-man tag team match was the most fun in my opinion, but hardly worth going out of your way to see. I usually don't bother mentioning pre-show promo/talking segments, but Jamie Hayter returned here and that was a fun surprise for a section of the show that usually doesn't have any big moments like that. [MOTN: n/a]"
[0.0] "The pre-show was supposed to get people excited for the main show. And with 3 matches, where in each of them everyone seemed lost, it failed miserably. Failed both as a pro-wrestling and as sports entertainment."
"It's a pre-show. It's meant to build hype for the PPV and get more wrestlers paid for appearing. In that respect, it succeeded. In the latter respect, it overdelivered; I've seen full PPVs with fewer wrestlers than this pre-show. 16-man tag: confusing mess, but some fun spots between Lio Rush and Satnam Singh, and it was a nice gesture to get Sabian and Ogogo on a show in their native England. Mixed tag: Statlander and Willow have really good in-ring chemistry, Stat impressed me laying elbows in on Ishii, and Stokely Hathaway is great at comedy wrestling. Probably my favorite of the three matches. 10-man tag: Fine. I'm a sucker for Kevin Von Erich putting the claw on anyone. Saraya segment: Worked as an angle to bring back Jamie Hayter but that's about it. Still, a decent warm-up to the proper show."
"I'm not gonna rate this part of the show, if I'm being completely blunt. I just didn't care about any of the matches! The return of Jamie Hayter was pretty cool, though."
[6.0] "Three fine matches plus a surprise return that's one of the highlights of the whole night, main show included. Opening 16 men tag team match was quite fun. Messy but fun. Stokely & Stat vs. Willow & Ishii was the best match on this pre-show. Pretty fun match. The 10 men tag was alright. Just like the 16 men tag was messy but this wasn't a really fun mess. Jamie Hayter returning and beating up Saraya and her family was an amazing moment."
[6.0] "The right kind of pre show with a bunch of matches no one could possibly care about so it is just decent background noise rather than something you need to invest in and the return of Jamie Hayter which is what everyone will remember."
[6.0] "I think this show coulda achieved the same effect if they cut a hour off it. Don't get me wrong it's really good for a pre-show but it went way too long. The matches were fine, they did their job of getting abuncha people on the show and getting me excited for the main card. Highlight hadda of been the much appreciated return of Jamie Hayter."
[8.0] "None of the matches were anything to write home about but it was a joyous pre-show and I was excited to see so many talents get a chance to perform in front of such a big crowd. The Saraya/Jamie Hayter segment was great fun too. Lots of fun and just what you want out of a pre-show."
[8.0] "As far as pre-shows go, I don't think you can ask for more. This gave loads of wrestlers a chance to appear in Wembley Stadium and had three matches that were all tons of fun! And the Hayter return! Can't forget the Hayter return!"
[4.0] "The packages and interviews are whatever, the matches are a way to get people on the card and to wrestle at Wembley. Don't necessarily have a problem with it, but an 8-on-8 ain't ever gonna be a classic, and an intergender match is an intergender match, generally. You get some comedy out of them, and the women in the second bout did a decent enough job. The ten man tag was another pre-show cluster. The real issue is you have these 3 gimmick matches followed by yet another multi-man gimmick match on the main card; it's all a bit much. However, it's cool these guys get the opportunity to have a match at Wembley, obviously. Hayter is a nice feel-good moment whatever happens from here. Edit: At least the crowd was into it!"
"[7.0] The opener was a fun multi-man tag. It's better to think of it as a showcase match as the teams (at least one of them) were quite random. Kip Sabian had a decent pop. Billington and Ogogo was also there as natives. All the other participants did good except Lethal and Singh which were absent after a few spots. Stokely & Statlander was expected to upset here but Stat might be winning at All Out despite all the odds. Besides selecting the stipulation for the upcoming match it didn't have much stakes. Ishii was obviously not going to sell for Stokely but Stoke at least did a few moves on him. It was okay. Ten Man Tag was very botchy (from a 3 count to botched powerbombs) and dull but it had its few moments, mainly the claws after the match. Hayter's return was fire but it should have been saved for the main show."
[8.0] "Good zero hour show, with three solid matches, the shocking return of Jamie Hayter when Saraya was in the ring. Action Andretti, Dante Martin, Darius Martin, Kip Sabian, Kyle Fletcher, Lio Rush, Rocky Romero & Tommy Billington vs Alex Reynolds, Anthony Ogogo, Ariya Daivari, Jay Lethal, John Silver, Quen, Satnam Singh & Zay: Billington and Lethal started off with some chop exchanges, Ogogo and Sabian had their hometown moments, some chaotic brawling, Dante getting the pin was great to see [***1/2]. Tomohiro Ishii & Willow Nightingale vs Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway: A decent tag team match, Statlander and Nightingale started off with solid exchanges, Stokely and Ishii were interesting to watch in the ring at the same time [***]. Dustin Rhodes, Katsuyori Shibata, Marshall Von Erich, Ross Von Erich & Sammy Guevara vs Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett & Toa Liona: A solid ten man tag team match, all ten got their moments to shine in Wembley, Rhodes picking up the win was a good decision [***1/2]."
