Christian vs. Jack Swagger vs. Tommy Dreamer

[6.0] "A fun, hardcore brawl between these three men. Nice to see an ECW legend like Tommy get the title, even if it was only for a few months. ***.25"

[4.0] "Honestly I would prefer another Christian vs Swagger match, even if it would be stale already. The match itself wasn't as bad as it would be with other guys involved, but it still was a hardcore PG match. They did what they could though and fans mostly enjoyed it, so at least there's that."

[6.0] "A good match for the variety of weapons and spots using them. This really had a toned down Attitude-era hardcore match feel with all of the toys and junk scattered everywhere. For what these three were allowed to do given the era, they used what they had effectively. The suplex on the trashcans was a really good moment. Now, what took me out of it and ruined my immersion entirely was the absolute late of triple threat urgency. I think there was only one time in the match where the third man not involved in a pin attempt broke it up. There were SO many times where a cover was happening, and the person not involved didn't even seem to be trying to muster the strength to try and break it up. It made it feel fake and hollow. Like they were saying "You all know this isn't the finish, so we won't pretend." A good match, and a great moment if you're a Dreamer fan, but nothing more special than being a good bout."

[5.0] "The crowd is happy as Dreamer wins. Perhaps a good Dreamer spot to remember but nothing more. (2*1/2)"

[6.0] "There were some decent spots scattered throughout, but overall this was a bit underwhelming. While they at least made fairly good use of the props, it was all pretty standard PG WWE hardcore fare with the usual trash cans, kendo sticks, etc. The abruptness of the finish undermined the emotional moment that they seemed to be going for. Special mention - Striker's horrid commentary where he attempts to call Dreamer by his real life name 'Thomas James Laughlin' for some stupid reason, only to mess it up and say 'John' for his middle name instead. Could he be any more cringeworthy?"

[7.0] "I thought this was a entertaining match and it was cool to see Tommy win it was a solid match with some good weapon spots. ***1/2"

[5.0] "Christian vs Jack Swagger vs Tommy Dreamer was decent, the problem is the match was not that extreme."

[7.0] "This was pretty good for the most part. It failed in the sense that it felt longer than it needed to be. But they made great use of traditional triple threat tropes and then added the weapons on top of that. Dreamer is hardly my favourite but he put in a big effort with his big bumps. He really brought all he had to the match and it got me on his side. Good performances from the other two as well. ***1/2"

[3.0] "This was an extremely watered down and safe hardcore match where everything they were doing looked soft and pulled. It's made worse by Swagger who is awful here and looks like he doesn't have a clue what he's doing."

[7.0] "I this match needed a couple more minutes to really get going but it was a fun little match. Swagger being such a terrible person, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed his work at this time while Christian is all round excellent and Dreamer was my ultimate sentimental favourite. The match and title change meant a lot to me and 11 years on I still remember."
