[5.0] "Crane vs. Dixieland is one of the worst deathmatches I've watched in recent time. The match was very awkward and Dixieland Destroyer is simply awful. Moxley vs. Cutter is the whole reason why I wanted to watch this show in the first place. It's the best match of the tournament and features one of Moxley's more iconic moments before his WWE stint. Gott vs. Mathis was slightly below average. The barbed wire canvas looked awful and it wasn't all that exciting. Threat vs. Sezz was a good barefoot thumbtack match and one of the better matches of the tournament. Phoenix vs. Bailey was one of JC Bailey's last matches and unfortunately it was average. Hooligans/Cage vs. Rotten/DTM/Thomaselli was the longest match on the card for some reason. It was average. Younger vs. Sabu was my MOTN. It was so violent and crazy that I enjoyed that more than the tournament itself. The also have a possible rematch at KOTDM. Cutter vs. Threat was an interesting match, the stipulation was okay but the action was solid. We could barely see the fish hooks on camera. Crane vs. Mathis was a great match compared to their first round matches. Mathis took some crazy bumps into the barbed wire. Cutter vs. Crane was a decent finals match. The ultimate X stipulation was cool. I think if they had some more athletic dudes then they could've used it more. The show is fairly average for a deathmatch tournament and I recommend finding a version with no commentary cause Matt Cage is absolutely horrendous on it."

[2.0] "Overall this show was not great. The only noteworthy thing to come from this show is Jon Moxley's entrance singing Sweet Caroline. Also I never want to hear Matt Cage on commentary because some of the things he said on this show made me irritated such as wishing Neil Diamond Cutter would actually die in the ring then claims he would kill himself if Cutter won the tournament."

[7.0] "Though there were a few lowpoints, particularly the opener, overall this was a really good show. Cutter's performance across his three matches was fantastic."

[5.0] "IWA was on its last legs here and there trying to put on the best show they can with a bunch of young talent just getting their start. Lots of faces here would go on to be while others would show their not ment for this, looking at you Stumpy. It's an average deathmatch tournament that felt like their was was no reward for winning other than being the first Prince of the deathmatch. Sabu vs Drake was fun and setup a rematch. Neil betraying his Cutter Brothers and becoming a singles star was nice."
