[8.0] "Wasn't suppossed to be that good, but it was. The feelings I had about this match basically are how much I miss Penta, how good as a brawler Jon Moxley is (when he wants to be one, since he has not being one recently) and how versatile Trent is as a wrestler. Great sequences, great spots and the interaction between Penta with EVERYBODY worked so great here. By far the MVP of this match that had a unpredictable finish. Yeah, he won."
[6.0] "This was just a fun 3 way match. I really thought this was just gonna be basic as shit, but no, they really wanted to make this a great 3 way and did the best they can."
[8.0] "[4.0] This had no right to be this good lol. Before the show I really thought the mix of match-ups sucked and I expected it to be a casual 6/10 match but it ended up being awesome and perfect for television. These stipulation matches are surely overdone in AEW, thats a fact, but this one in particular made every sense in the world because the three tags are feuding since Death Before Dishonor and they are clearly heading to Cassidy vs Moxley (vs PAC maybe? I do not know) for the title, so it was not a random throw-in match like 80% of last weeks card. The Parking Lot on Rampage is going to be another great chapter to the feud and I commented it before but I just dont know how Mox does that. Since wrestling an 1-hour match he appeared on every Dynamite and now even doing fridays? Damn."
[7.0] "This is a pretty good Anything Goes match and serves to accelerate the Best Friends vs. BCC (and specifically Mox vs. OC) feud. I don't think anything pushes it over the top into a match deserving of a rewatch."
[8.0] "Very fun match. This felt very random at first but totally delivered and surpassed the expectations. Trent is quite underrated and this was the match of the night - {***3/4}"
[8.0] "One of my favorite matches of 2023. Insane action, including several spots that would have stolen the show on their own, let alone been a part of a bigger and broader story. Extreme examples of character development and story furthering, as well, with no better example than Trent Berreta capitalizing on his rare opportunity to showcase the fact that he belongs in the ring with two of the top stars in the company. The pacing lagged slightly during the commercial break, but they picked it back up and cleared the 8/10 rating with the way the match proceeded and ultimately ended. 4 stars, 8 out of 10. I absolutely loved this bout."
[8.0] "A really fun Anything Goes Match from three guys who have been in AEW since the start, which is very fitting for this special episode. My favorite part of this was probably all three men landing onto the thumbtacks. Plus, it was really cool to see Beretta get a win, especially one against two guys like Penta and Moxley."
[6.0] "Barbed wire and thumbtacks only 2 weeks after Blood and Guts? A hardcore match with no real grudge or storyline to warrant it? Moxley bleeding on weekly television? Yep, it's AEW 200. This was mindless with shoestring booking behind it but I still enjoyed this as a spectacle. Moxley taking a superplex through two tables onto the floor, great bumps into tacks, Mox hitting a piledriver and a cutter on tacks, pretty fun stuff. The BCC are going to run out of opponents to fight and stories to tell real quick I fear. ***1/4"
[8.0] "Extremely fun match. Jon Moxley is totally sick, he wrestled almost every week since Blood and Guts and it's impressive. Penta doing Penta stuff which means great stuff. As for the Best Friends, I'm really invested in them these last few weeks, can't wait for their deserved push."
[9.0] "Excellent match, had a much better flow than most hardcore matches in AEW. Not only that it was a fresh pairing and all 3 had great chemistry with each other. Personally I would have preferred the finish be with the thumbtacks as that was the coolest moment, but it was still a good conclusion."
[8.0] "Insane triple threat that ended really close to become very good. There were a lot of good spots like that mad avalanche Canadian Destroyer on a table and obviously Moxley put in the thumbtacks to give this match a good brutal touch. The ending wasn't so epic. ****1/4"
[10.0] "I see no reason why it shouldn't be the best match on the card. It was ppv level match on tv. Thumbtacks, barbed wire, tables, Moxley's blood.... My only complain is that the Blackpool Combat Club isn't winning enough matching in this three-way rivalry. But I guess that will change in the future. Sadly, with Pac being injured...again, The Death Triangle are a man down."
[8.0] "I liked this match more than I thought I would actually, this three way feud isn't really thrilling me but they definitely went out on the crazy spots and brought the big time weapons so I got some nice pop in. Trent winning was... a bit odd, I just don't ever see him being the singles guy they want him to be, but he did a solid job."
[8.0] "I do like getting to see Trent show how good he is from time to time and this was a great example. Mox & Penta thrive in this environment, but Trent matching them and keeping up with the pace of the violence was the story here. Mostly standard triple threat stuff with hardcore props but worked well. ***1/2+"
[8.0] "Anything goes match with two of the best hardcore wrestlers AEW has in Mox and Penta. Match had an incredible pace for all the big spots it fit in. Surprised how well Trent did in this match as he does not have a history of extreme matches. Had the weapons I expected with the tacks and the barbed wire. Liked the surprise win for Trent."
[8.0] "I had no expectations for this match at all, but what I got was a genuine surprise and quite good. They used thumbtacks, Mickey brought out barbed wire, and also Moxley took the best bump of the match when he took the suplex from the top rope to the outside, and through two tables. Was surprised that Trent got the win, but this was a fun chaotic hardcore match here.***3/4"
[8.0] "Wow, what a great match. Each one of those 3 guys delivered all they had on this battle. Lots of nice spots, with some good violence that Moxley enjoys to participate. Penta is phenomenal as a singles wrestlers, just like he is as a tag wrestler. And it was awesome that Trent won, he benefits more in that victory than the others. ****."
[7.0] "Well, this definitely was a Jon Moxley match. A younger me would've loved seeing so many tables broken, but current me isn't as excited for harcore matches anymore. They basically went from table break to table break, and it was fine, but nothing substantial. I did pop when Penta smacked Trent with a garbage can to break a pin."
[8.0] "A fight that gets better the longer they are in action, good spots and above all a victory for Trent that nobody expected and that is something that I hope can be used well and to his advantage, that guy deserves something in AEW. Very good turnout for these three great wrestlers."
[7.0] "I wasn't super into another hardcore match after the glut of them that the company has done recently, but I get including one on a celebratory ep like this. This was good but not gory enough to really catch my interest considering I'm a bit desensitized, but I was still invested and still got some pops out of me. Happy to see Trent get a surprise win."
[4.0] "They really overdone that hardcore formula in AEW in last months. They are using barbed wire and thumbtacks in every no dq match. And it feels meaningless at this point. Barbed Wire is so fake that Mox is dumped back first into it and nothing happens to him. Thumbtacks are now just a normal thing, Mox is noselling it like its nota big deal at all. Everybody bump into them like 5 times in this match and proceed like nothing happened no sell and move on."
[8.0] "I didn't expect much from this match so I was pleasantly surprised at how good it turned out. The violence kept escalating every time I thought they'd stop, though I probably should've expected it given Mox was in the match. Trent getting the win was more than well-deserved and hopefully leads to Best Friends finally getting the gold. ****"
[8.0] "Match of the night without a doubt and I loved everything about it, everything was super cool with a bunch of great spots and the three guys absolutely not hesitating to take big bumps. Lots of weapons too, just like we like to see in Moxley's matches, violent and bloody as can be. Tomorrow's Parking Lot fight is sure to be a blast to watch."
[8.0] "Absolutely wild & violent spectacle, perhaps inappropriately so given the lack of any real grudge. Trent got to play superman, absorbing the piledriver onto the barbed wire 2x4, the top rope bump through the tables to the floor, several thumbtack bumps, and the avalanche table destroyer before sneaking the win ****"
[6.0] "Eh. It was a fun enough hardcore spotfest but just... Who cares? When you are using barbed wire and thumbtacks and I feel completely numb to it something has gone wrong. There is no intensity, no drama, no story that warrants any of this. It's just mindless. Sometimes it's fun to just turn your brain off and watch some chaos but this just felt shallow to me. Part of me wants to rate this lower because I think this cheapens all of these spots for when they could actually matter but it was at least entertaining even if it was ill conceived."
"This fresh match is exactly what the 200th episode of Dynamite needed. A fun and brutal encounter involving three wrestlers who have been proving for several years that they are some of AEW's most valuable assets. Not only that, the ending is well executed and keeps the storyline open, possibly leading to a climax at All In London."
[6.0] "A fast-paced hardcore brawl featuring all the expected spots, with some nonsensical ones thrown in for good measure. Penta's destroyer looked like it hurt him more than it hurt Beretta, Mox kind of just stood there on the top rope waiting to be thrown into a table. It was flashy and helped along by the crowd reactions, but this is very much a style over substance stipulation match whose impact is lessened simply because we've seen these spots so many times before. It's fine, and it'd probably be more fun live, but these matches would mean a lot more if they were accompanied by some sort of story surrounding the stipulation, or end-capping a feud rather than being used to move it along."
[8.0] "Chaotic, fun brawl that contained all the hallmarks of a modern Jon Moxley match: barbed wire, thumbtacks, senseless violence and shock value. I mean, it still works, but it is also getting a bit long in the tooth. The fact that nobody even bled from the original barbed wire made its use somewhat pointless and removes its future shock value, which can only mean that they have to resort to even more dangerous and unnecessary gimmicks (glass, bah...) to achieve the same crowd reaction. I like that the BCC is matched with Best Friends, but I also hope that Orange Cassidy's style can lead to a slight reinvention of Moxley. That all aside, the match was highly entertaining from start to finish due to the chaos. I hate to see some of these table spots now, though, as the memory of Dante Martin and even Rey Fenix is still fresh in my mind and always takes me out of the suspension of disbelief into the genuine concern for the athletes."
[7.0] "I enjoyed this match. There were some istances were it was too excessive, like Penta kicking out from a Cradle Piledriver on thumbtacks, but overall they did a pretty good job offering a highly entertaining bout. Some spots were really well done and the finishing sequence was good, with Beretta stealing the win from Moxley. When they used the thumbtacks there was some no-selling when they hit their own move on them but still landed there, but I will close an eye for that. The post match was another brawl to build the Blackpool Combat Club rivalry against Orange Cassidy and The Best Friends. Next week Parking Lot Fight, curious for that. ***3/4"
[8.0] "Wasn't expecting anything special but the match turned out to be great: the canadian destroyer off the top rope on a table and the superplex outside of the ring on two tables were incredible spots. The thumbtacks spots elevated the whole as I thought they were excecuted brillantly. The action was fast-paced and very fun. I didn't thought Beretta was going to win but it was a nice moment for an original of this company. Post-match was cool, too. 8/10 - 4*/5*"
[8.0] "Very fun triple threat. There were some big bumps in here, and nothing that was really innovative but the in-between stuff was really fast-paced and never let down at all. The best spot was when they were trading moves on the thumbtacks back and forth. Trent getting the W was a surprise and nice for a night celebrating how far Dynamite's come. Moxley didn't give him much time to really soak the rare win in though, but hey, they set up a good angle with it all between BCC and Best Friends for a Parking Lot Brawl."
[10.0] "Do they do these type of matches too often, particularly with Moxley? Yes it is definitely overdone, cant argue that. Was the match absolutely fantastic with incredible crowd reactions? Yes also true. Clearly these hardcore matches are something that AEW has become known for. They push the envelope and a segment of their fanbase eats it up. As the alternative wrestling product sometimes you have to do things differently to get attention and get noticed. I totality get that and loved the match. But I also worry about the guys taking it too far. A match like this every now and then is fine. But to just have it on a random Wednesday night in the middle of the show to build up another match is a slippery slope. But I also realize if its an anything goes match and Moxley is in it, this is what Im gonna get and I cant be surprised. Now they have another one of these matches on Friday and how do they top this?"
[3.0] "i like the wrestlers in this match but these kind of matches bury pro wrestling, absolutely not my kind of wrestling. Not nearly enough selling for my tastes, superplex to the outside through a table, top rope destroyer through a table, gotch style piledriver on tacks, jeezus. very phony spotfest. only part i liked was mox screaming in penta's face after dropping him in the tacks followed by hitting a cutter on trent in the tacks. chuck taylor described this match perfectly in the post match promo "this didnt accomplish a goddamn thing""
[6.0] "A fine three way that was a bit messy in places, but it was a means to an end. Trent Beretta stole Jon Moxley's pin on Penta El Zero Miedo, we had another hint towards Moxley challenging Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship (strange how OC didn't have a match on Episode 200 when he's on most weeks), and they're going to revisit the famous Parking Lot Brawl on Rampage with Best Friends vs. Blackpool Combat Club filmed at Daily's Place. Please let it be for the custody of Wheeler Yuta!"
