[7.0] "This was a fun multi-man tag team match with a classic structure and many more than competent workers involved. In the end, the heel team wins thanks to a distraction."
[6.0] "Okay opening for the show, just a fun tag team match especially in the second half, but it's alright overall nothing really worth noting more. **3/4"
[7.0] "Das war ein gutes Eight Man Tag Match, Abwechslungsreich, aber ohne die ganz chaotischen Situationen und vor allem, in Ring richtig gut gearbeitet. Und damit ein absolut geeigneter Opener für den ganzen WrestleDream-Abend."
[6.0] "Solid action, but considering the star power of this match and the time they had, you'd expect a lot more of action than just your usual. Claudio and Ishii had a fun encounter and OC and PAC were the highlights. Kyle and Roddy got a hot sequence in the end, probably the most exiciting in the entire match. Danny and Yuta being punchbags the entire thing was funny tho."
[7.0] "Pretty solid 8-man tag match with a wild amount of star power for a pre-show match. It wasn't their best work, but they did a good job in providing a fun, chaotic match. Orange Cassidy probably had the most flashy and crowd-pleasing performance, but everyone in general did well."
[6.0] "This is how to book a good multi-man match. Two factions almost at full strength, good wrestling, a little time for everyone, and an ideal pace to gently warm up the crowd. Special mention to KOR, who is in great form. In-ring quality: 1.75/4. Stakes: 0.5/2. Justification: 1/1. Place on the card: 1/1. Suspense: 0.5/1. Bonuses/penalties: none. Total: 5.75/10. Match seen on Triller TV."
[7.0] "Schnelles und unterhaltsames Multimen Match zum Opener. Klare Heel gegen Face Geschichte, bei der jeder einen relativ eindeutigen Gegenspieler hatte. Schwank zwischen solide und ganz gut und ich bin auf der positives Seite"
[5.0] "Mostly rest holds. On one side I was expecting a banger. And they managed to drag it for a 15 minute match too. Tomohiro Ishii vs Claudio or Ishii vs Pac should heal the world, if it was to happen. Now that would have been a perfect match for this ppv instead."
[6.0] "Alright match, it was nice seeing all these guys make the show even if was on the pre show, they all shined in this fun & chaotic 8 man all star tag."
[5.0] "A match that dragged overall in the middle but it had its moments in the closing stretch. It was a match that did not feel like it needed 16 minutes for a result that everyone knew going into it."
[8.0] "Wieder war es das man in der Zero Hour bei nun WrestleDream keine Matches sah. Die gab es nur hier in dieser Tailgate Brawl Folge. Ich gebe hier (***1/2)."
[7.0] "This was a fun, action-heavy trios match with a steady pace and a crowd that was into everything, even when the in-ring work slowed down a touch. Orange Cassidy was clearly the glue of the match, taking the bulk of the offense and injecting bursts of energy whenever the Death Riders started grinding things down. Ishii and Claudio's power exchanges were a treat, and Paragon's brief hot tag sequence added some nice variety. The Death Riders looked cohesive and dangerous, particularly in how they isolated opponents and built toward the finishing stretch. It wasn't a classic, but it was a solid midcard bout that gave everyone time to shine and set a good tone for the rest of the show. ***"
[8.0] "Honestly this pre-show opener really over-delivered in my opinion. The new Conglomeration entrance is really fun. The Death Riders had some great heel performances and Claudio when he's actually locked in is a scary dude"
[6.0] "Great DR entrance as always, Conglomeration is also fun. Yuta got great heat on him. Yuta and Orange Cassidy work nicely. PAC vs OC was also really good. Ishii v Claudio was also nice. This match shows why i like these multi-person matches, gives you glimpses of many ice matches. OC s the mvp here. Good if you were there, nothing to go out of your way for."
[6.0] "Felt like everyone agreed not to break a sweat on a preshow match. Still, tons of talent, cool energy and the Death Riders just looked mean in the best way. I love how they move like a pack, focused, ruthless and not there to make friends. Solid chemistry all around. The Death Riders dominated and the crowd had fun."
[6.0] "This was a pretty decent Buy-In opener, with the starpower and narrative trajectory to have been on the main card. These 8 men could have easily had a much better match but did their jobs to heat up the crowd. Finish was unfortunately a little wonky, with the chopblock to Ishii looking bad and then PAC's running knee looking dodgy."
