Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta vs. Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy

[8.0] "Excellent wild TV tag, definitely underrated in my opinion, it's not going to totally blow your socks off but everyone is doing a really good job here and it just came together really well I thought."

[7.0] "Underrated match, for sure. They just had a set up and went straight for it, everyone did their job just fine. Nothing that should make you remember forever and ever, but quite effective the most. Darby is always great in matches where you can use weapons because he just don't give a single fuck about his own body, that is amazing in my head. Danny and Yuta don't have any chemistry together so they went into separate ways and made what they were supposed for. OC just aura farmed the entire match, good to see him back."

[7.0] "The tornado tag stipulation is always tricky, because it has tag in the name but not on the execution. As a result, it is a two versus two all the time unless you neutralise somebody. And in that setting you either have both guys from one side in control or it ends up being two simultaneous singles matches (which leads to an absolute mess of a viewing experience). The fun of it is coming up with plausible ways to have all four guys interact in meaningful ways that progress the story. Here they managed to do it, even if not to an excellent level. Clear face versus heel dynamic between the teams, with more technically oriented (but mean) couple against a miss matched team of a very intense and a very relaxed guy (until he isn't). What could end up as a corny endurance spot (Darby letting Garcia get the skateboard) leads to one of the best setups for the code red by a clever babyface. Yuta cutting off the hands in the pockets out off nowhere is also great. It's not to the same standards of excellency all the time (it dips into excessiveness and meaningless movement at times), but manages to be good."

[6.0] "I liked this, Darby & OC are great and them teaming together was really fun, Danny & Yuta did good as well, looking forward to blood & guts."

[4.0] "This week on 'who will have an inconsequential match with the Death Riders': Darby & Orange! It was a decent match, but I struggled to care; nothing we haven't seen on a weekly basis recently. I have to agree with another comment here that this absolutely did not need to be no-DQ; it didn't benefit the match in any way, and it felt like the 'hardcore' spots were worked in to a normal match rather than it being a necessity. I am a firm believer that making stipulation matches more common diminishes their meaning, and this was an example of where that sacrifice didn't need to be made. The more I think, the more I find myself needing to drop my rating; I simply didn't enjoy it and didn't see anything positive coming out of it, so I can only rate it poorly despite the calibre of the competitors."

[5.0] "Entertaining tornado tag with some great highs (Garcia laughing as OC gets drive-by'd, the multiple table spots, Darby's incredible code red off the skateboard trick) and low lows (Ref's -really- obvious communication with the wrestlers during pinfalls, too short of match length for it to find a third gear). I don't think anyone other than Darby really shined here, which is kind of criminal when you consider how capable everyone here is by this point."

[7.0] "Good and very entertaining match. Pace was great and the match quickly flew by, they delivered some nice crowd moments and a lot of fun spots for the indestructible Darby. Yuta was my favorite in the entire match but Danny also had a great performance, besides not being the main focus of crazy dives and weapons, but still important to the match. OC got a great sequence and I like he took a page out of Chuck Taylor's book oficially. Bryan fun as hell in the desk."

[5.0] "Good pace but not much to see going forward. Daniel Garcia seemed a bit less interesting than the others in a match that mainly showcased the faces. In-ring quality: 2/4. Stakes: 0.5/2. Justification: 0.75/1. Placement on the card: 0.5/1. Suspense: 0.25/1. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 5/10. Match watched on Triller TV."

[7.0] "This was fun, Darby got thrown around, and threw himself around, crazy style (as usual). Danny and Yuta did some cool tag moves and Orange played his role well too."

[7.0] "Tag match: great fun, solid tag match. Decent pacing, well structured and well performed. Darby picking up the win in Yuta was the right choice as well. The bump that Darby took on the turnbuckle to the outside was gnarly. 7/10"

[7.0] "It was a match that blended spectacle, creativity, and emotion, culminating in a great finale. It was truly a good opening between both teams and further intensified the rivalry for Blood and Guts. There were some extreme moments, as well as some interesting moves. The great chemistry between Orange and Yuta deserves recognition; they delivered the best moments of the match. 7/10."

[7.0] "Yeah this was a pretty solid match with some cool moments throughout. The brawling at the start was expected and was quite fun personally mainly as a love a good brawl and Darby is always good at them as he does some cool shit and I love a good coffin drop of a barrier. OC was great in this match love seeing him feud with the death riders as it brings out a more intense side of him which I love to see a lot. Garcia and Yuta both did very little for me in this match other than take and give offence as honestly at this point I care about neither of them as they have both gone Cold for me personally. The finish of the match with the orange punch and dive through the table from OC whislt Darby put Yuta in the scorpion death lock was pretty cool though only negative was the little botch on the pin break up by Garcia. Overall a pretty fun match was hoping for a bit more violence but we got two dives through tables so I can't complain too much. (***1/2)"

[6.0] "Danielson on commentary elevates it. Orange Cassidy is the greatest gimmick in modern memory, imo. Some very obvious synchronized spots. YUTA is amazing in this. The Wheeler and Garcia double surfboard was sick. 6, 5 easy nice opener, well wrestled."

[7.0] "A great Dynamite opener and just barely my favourite match on the show after the equally great main event. As expected this is a pretty wild brawl featuring a ton of fighting in the crowd and some gnarly spots from Darby especially. Everything is as intense as it should be here and everyone in the match gets a moment to shine. A few awkward moments here but for the most part, i enjoyed this a lot. ***3/4"

[5.0] "A spot fest with only decent spots in scale to what AEW typically puts out. In essence it was an average plunder match. I thought Danny looked the best in the match but then again, he did the most wrestling."

[8.0] "Very fun match. Great to see Darby and OC doing their thing. I also really like Danny Garcia's heel theme for some reason lol"

[7.0] "A nice tag match all these wrestlers have great chemistry together as they faced off many times before i hope the this feud end at blood and guts"

[5.0] "5.5 - Good action early on but then two of the worst table spots I've ever seen. Yuta splashed OC through the table, then within a minute OC was up on the turnbuckle like nothing had happened. Then his 180lb frame lighlty pushed Garcia through a table on the outside. An example of a match where the uninspiried, paint-by-numbers 'hardcore' elements made the match worse."
