Devon Storm vs. The Sandman

[4.0] "The point system was stupid and inconsistently applied. There was nothing keeping either guy from smacking his prone opponent repeatedly with the same object to rack up the points, but they kept discarding weapons for no logical reason after one blow. Generic hardcore spotfest outside of that."

[6.0] "I hate these Hard Ten matches and I don't like Sandman much more. But this one actually had a decent entrainment value."

[7.0] "This is an anomaly in the Hard Ten Tournament, because these guys actually wrestled. The rules are still stupid, but it seemed like these guys understood them better than the other participants."

[7.0] "This was the best Hard Ten match so far. As the other inmates have said, the point system is horrible and in a way it damages the match, because it has no much sense that some blows count as a point and other don't. Devon Storm looked great and did some cool spots and cool use of the weapons, even if some of them didn't count as points. Sandman also looked good, specially on that final spot on the ladder. I liked Siaki's involvement on the match and hm knocking Sandman and teasing him after the match."

[7.0] "The point system is very bad but they make the best they can with it, even if there is confusion about rules and at points it's pretty obvious Devon could just hit Sandman a bunch of times. They still work some shots and escapes to keep it somewhat interesting and end with a good spot. It is fun enough."

[5.0] "This is an extremely low bar, but this was far and away the best match in this stupid tournament that we? ve seen. You get the usual amateur hour stuff where once again guys are going for pinfalls when you can only win by the stupid point system, but at least in this one I had a sense that (mostly) both guys had a brain about it, right from the start for the most part both guys were going for repeated weapon shots to get points rather than getting one point, then throwing their weapon away like most of the morons in this tournament have done. Crowbar looked great here, I? m amazed TNA didn? t pick him up for a proper run, and Sandman looked better than usual, his final table spot was actually really impressive. Nothing to go wild about, there was still some stupidity, but it was actually not bad."
