[6.0] "Seit ein paar Jahren ist DEFY ein Teil des Collectives und hat immer ein anständige, wenn auch nie großartige Show. Das war hier auch nicht wirklich anders. Zumindest bekam man ein paar ganze nette Sachen zu sehen. Der Opener war durchaus ganz nett. Nette Action um rein zu kommen. Das Trios Match der Frauen war da aber noch eine Ecke besser. Das hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. EVIL gegen Oku war dann halt auch mal was besonderes und auch ganz ok muss ich sagen. Mein MOTN war der Three Way um die Tag Titles. Das war wirklich ein gutes Match. Gute Action mit den so unterschiedlichen Teams. Das passte alles sehr gut und hat Spaß gemacht. Kenta gegen Warner war auch in Ordnung. Da hatte ich auch keine Erwartung dran und es war doch ganz ok. Express gegen Heat war für das was es sein sollte ok aber natürlich das schwächste Match der Show. Der Three Way im Main Event war dann nochmal ein gutes Match. Auch hier eine gute Mischung. Hat wirklich Spaß gemacht und war unterhaltsam. Gut gemacht DEFY."

[6.0] "Not bad but nothing screams this is our best. Everyone here is a good wrestler it's just this show kind of feels like it's just here to fill time. I get everyone has a block to fill but come on DEFY this can't your best offering. Really enjoyed that main event though especially Man Like DeReiss."

[6.0] "Cody Chhun, Guillermo Rosas & Negro Casas vs Galeno Del Mal, Gurv Sihra & Harv Sihra: A solid opening trios match here, Casas exchanges with Galeno was interesting to watch, C4 and Bollywood Boyz have good chemistry and the ending with the triple pin was unique way to end the match [***]. Amira, Vert Vixen & Viva Van vs Liiza Hall, Nicole Matthews & Rhio: A solid multi women match where all involved got a decent amount of time to showcase what they can do in the ring, solid action [***1/4]. EVIL vs Michael Oku: Even with no members of House Of Torture being there, EVIL still could not go a match without cheating or trying to cheat, Oku was decent [**]. Judas Icarus & Travis Williams vs Hyo & Susumu Yokosuka & Kid Lykos & Kid Lykos II: An average multi team match, nothing too memorable happened here, did not click like it should have done [**]. KENTA vs Mance Warner: A mix of in ring work and brawling made this an okay watch actually, KENTA low blowing Warner before hitting the GTS to win was not needed [**1/4]. Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson vs Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson: A fun short match, good to see Rock N Roll Express in the ring once again, Midnight Heat did their thing which was okay to see [**]. Clark Connors vs El Phantasmo vs Man Like DeReiss: A fine three way match that had it's moments but could have been booked better [**3/4]"

[6.0] "It was a good show, but nothing extraordinary. My discovery of the Sinner & Saint team will be the only thing I remember about this show."

[5.0] "Another okay show at the Collective, but this was the best show yet. Sadly I feel matches like Kenta vs. Warner was hampered by them having other bookings which made this a little less than it could have been. But still enjoyable."

[6.0] "Eine solide Defy Show. Der Main Event war ordentlich, sowie Kenta gegen Mance und das Damen Match konnte auch unterhalten. Der Rest bewegte sich im durchschnittlichen Bereich."

[4.0] "I think we should capitalize on these big weekends in wrestling and book a fun show. Just a few days ago, Defy had done exactly that. Multiple great matches and was an incredible show but here, just a couple days after, man nothing happened. Very boring to say the least. Sure there were one or two matches that gave a solid showing plus Rock n Roll still running strong were all great but not enough. Good thing I did not stay up late for this."

[7.0] "Ich muss ehrlich sagen: Diese Show hat mich positiv überrascht. Nachdem mir ja im letzten Jahr die Defy Show - besonders auch aufgrund des Main Events - nicht ganz so gut gefallen hat, muss ich gestehen, dass die beiden Matches vor denen ich so ein bisschen Angst hatte (EVIL gegen OKU und Kenta gegen Warner) beide besser als befürchtet waren. Zudem gab es ein wirklich gutes Main Event (was für mich auch MOTN war) sowie ein ebenfalls ziemlich gutes Six Women Tag Match, was für mich das zweitbeste Match der Show war. Es gab auch ansonsten jetzt kein Lowlight, weil selbst Rock'n Roll Express gegen Midnight Heat ging in der Länge auf der Position echt in Ordnung. Das war eine mehr als anständige Show und ich gebe daher 7 Punkte."

[7.0] "Average in a good way. Evil vs Okay was a match that seems more out of some Fire Pro, and it was pretty good. Best match of the card, as expected with Oku on it, and as much hate he gets from certain sectors Evil can work. Should have been the featured match instead of Kenya vs Warner that was fine in itself, but it did hurt a little bit that if you follow Noah, Kenta was involved on a superior No DQ just days ago at Star Navigation. And Warner having an extreme match on TNA against Calihan latter the same night evidently had him going with his foot on the brake. The main event was somehow disjointed at parts, and I honestly would have much preferred it being a 1-on-1 between any of the three talented performers that took part on it."
