[7.0] "This was a wild plunder-based spotfest, with an early-CZW vibe. So yeah, it got a bit rough and reckless, but the adrenaline fueled highlights were worth the occasional awkward setup and the bit where Mack had to keep his own hands tied behind his back ***1/2"

[5.0] "It was okay. Crash did some impressive stuff here, especially his Slingshot Hurricanrana looked phenomenal. Molly and Trish looked rough though, with Holly barely - if at all - kicking out of Stratus' pinfall. At least it was short, had a good pace and the fans weren't dead."

[1.0] "Sting and Warrior are back on the team after many years. Warrior's entire run in WCW has been an absolute failure on all fronts, including also the quality of the matches themselves. And it may have been Hogan's worst feud in the company. A very weak main-event, that not even Sting and Bret saved, with a dq finish."

[4.0] "Competent but somewhat lacking in excitement. The build to the finish wasn't very fun but the final flash counter from Haskins was nice. [2.75]"

[9.0] "This was one of the best Collision matches of all time. Probably the 2nd best tag team match AEW has produced all year behind the Young Bucks vs. Sting/Darby Revolution main event. Just wonderfully performed from start to finish. Fletcher is such a good tag team wrestler, Hobbs looked like a stud and has been steadily improving over course of 2024 so far, Claudio is one of the most consistently excellent wrestlers ever, and The American Dragon is one of a kind and anchored the whole thing brilliantly. Really feel like this one is getting undersold/underrated on here, seek out the Fite version without commercials if you can."

[2.0] "Mambo brings a bag of fruit to the ring, getting an early fall by getting Earl Black Jr. to slip on a banana peel. Cheeky. It became very obvious from the get go that these teams actually didn't have 30 minutes of match planned and they waste the first five minutes on fruit-related spots and other posturing. I could not tell you what happened from minute 6 to minute 28 in this match. Nothing happened. The finish was a great, nasty twist of fate at least. [2.25]"

[2.0] "The burial of Braun Strowman. This should have been his crowning moment after months of being the best part of Raw and whooping Lesnars ass, but this was the peak of lazy Brock so of course its just nothing for 8 minutes, then Brock hits one F5 and its over. Damaged Strowman beyond repair and made Brock look like a lazy douchebag who cant be bothered to put on a good match."

[0.0] "One of the most baffling decisions in WWE history. This match is an absolute fucking joke. Neville was on fire and making 205 live seem important and so you have him drop the belt to the walking tumor. This killed the Cruiserweight division, and Im glad shit lips Enzo got booted from the company not long after."

[7.0] "Maybe a little bit long but a surprisingly good performance from Shane. The twist towards the end as Shane jumped off the cell and only missed because of Sami saving Kevin also made the match feel important. A fun but not super memorable cell match."

[6.0] "My least favorite match out of Suzu's reign, which is unfortunate because this probably should have been the most important, but I never really felt that way throughout the match. There were some pretty good moments but a good majority of this match lacked the excitement and the intensity that I would expect, which led to some really boring stretches. It felt like a LONG 23 minutes which is something that I never want to feel in any match. This wasn't bad by any means but "decent" is a disappointing outcome for this match specifically given the circumstances."

[1.0] "This match can go to hell. Straight to the 7th circle. The worst champion of all time beating the hottest man on the roster for a second time in a row. How pathetic. How did I ever manage to watch the product at this time. I guess if theres anything I can give this match, its that I kind of expected Jinder to win so the disappointment was already lower than their Summerslam bout."

[8.0] "Tall Saya does it again. Just a really great match between her and Kairi where they really just got to unleash on each other with no setbacks. The past few defenses for Saya she had to limit herself in favor of selling limb work, so it was fun to see her at full strength (in kayfabe). This match had the same pacing issue that most time limit draws have. The first 5-10 minutes you would be able to infer that they were going the full 30, but the work itself was very good and not dull at any point in the match, so the pacing didn't kill it, and neither did the lack of escalation as they headed into the finish, which is something I did have a gripe with. This was also one of my favorite Kairi performances from her 2nd run. Her offense was varied and interesting, her cutoffs were great, and so was her character work within the match. This might not have been the most EXCITING 30 minutes, but it sure was an engaging one."

[1.0] "Yeah, lets take the CW strap off of a genuinely great luchadore and put it on Mr. Catchphrase who cant wrestle for shit and would go on to kill all credibility for the belt. At least Kalisto got SOMETHING out of this clown."

[8.0] "A fun simple match. Owens was on fire at the time and they made the right call keeping the strap on him. The spots were also very fun, especially the chair tower that Kevin gets tossed through. Im not too bothered by Brauns interference because I hated Roman and was happy that it kept him from winning."

[9.0] "I believe this is one of the best chamber matches of all time. It was predictable as all hell, but thats not always a bad thing. I loved seeing Bray have a big win like this, and everyone else looked great."

[4.0] "This is one of the funniest matches of all time. The spooky crap they tried to do with the cinematic segments was laughable and the whole first half was just campy tryhard nonsense, but thats why I love it. And then they come out to the ring and uh.Jinder interferes? I remember crying from how hard I was laughing. The fridge thing was also amazing. I love this stupid, stupid match."

[4.0] "Rees overwhelms T-Bone with some unforeseen raw power, real fetching stuff too like when he caught a mid-air Bone and rammed him into the ring post. Felt like Rees was the clear favourite and the superior wrestler but T-Bone snuck a schoolboy for the win at the end, severely disappointing me in the process. The match is still a great introduction for Rees. [2.75]"

[0.0] "WWE, dont you ever fucking dare book a Punjabi Prison match ever again. This was unbearable. I so badly wanted Jinder to lose his belt because hes obviously not main event material and never was. Then they announced the stipulation, and I knew Jinder was winning. And this match SUCKED. It was just nothing, nothing, and more nothing, then Khali shows up with. Jinders theme? Why? Then he helps Jinder win and we dont see him again. Nothing came from it. What a pathetic excuse for a wrestling match. I feel terrible for Randy that this match is forever on his list of title matches."

[4.0] "Black and Polly continue from the tag match they had recently in PROGRESS, but with a definite change in pace, namely a slower and less focused one. Not exactly bad, just directionless. Jack Sexsmith goes from making a great joke at the start (ejecting TK Cooper for kissing Dahlia and "getting involved in the match") to making two stupid and unfunny ones (touching the wrestlers inappropriately) send him to the chair. [2.75]"

[10.0] "I have a bad habit of getting a lot of the tag division matches from this time jumbled up, but this one always stuck out to me. I remember watching this match in the backseat of my car and having to hold in my excitement. The tension of the time going down was used very well here as each team gave one of their greatest performances. The Bar is an unbelievable tag team and are seriously underrated. They carried the tag division in 2017, and this match is a clear indicator. Even when the Hardys were obviously past their prime, they still had a good match. Lovely stuff."

[0.0] "Why did Jinder win? No seriously, why? We were knuckle deep into this embarrassment of a title reign by this point and everyone was practically begging WWE to have him drop the belt. Enter Shinsuke Nakamura, one of the most over guys on the roster in 2017, had just come up to the main roster and beat JOHN CENA CLEAN, and then he loses to Jinder in one of the most stale and forgettable matches of all time. This nearly made me stop watching Smackdown at the time. Like arkhamoutlaw10 said, just absolutely dastardly."

[0.0] "This is genuinely one of my most despised matches of all time. Back in the day, I was a big Corbin fan. I knew he was a bit limited and couldnt talk super well but his lone wolf gimmick and sick signature/finisher made me really like him. Then he lost the briefcase. I was pissed but I thought maybe itd lead to a psychotic monster push. Then Cena made him look like an absolute joke. I love Cena, but this was terrible. He laughed and toyed with Corbin like he was a toddler, and buried him. Corbin never recovered from this on the main roster, and only recently in NXT has he been gaining momentum again."

[3.0] "Why was this the way they went for their second match? It feels to me that they should be done the Chapter 28 match as the rematch and this one for the initial meeting. Better than their last, thank God, but both men seem to have an issue with conveying damage and it pisses me off. 15 minutes of work into showing how much these two dislike each other but no courtesy to show that they are each strong fighters? It shows stubbornness from both ends, but not it's entertaining for my benefit because it just says that they're both not actually hurt. Mikey Whiplash's involvement with the oddball finish was DOA. [2.5]"

[7.0] "Definitely not a fan of nor do I understand the booking decision to end Morris reign and put the title on HAYATA of all people here, however, I don't agree that the match itself is as poor as it's rating suggests. The match was set up after a fairly extensive build by Noah standards. The story of HAYATA getting in Jack Morris head with mind games and goading played in to Morris eventual downfall in the title match. Whilst it wasn't a 5 star classic, I thought it entertained. Having seen most of the preliminary matches, I appreciated the storytelling here.Morris letting his emotions get the better of him while Hayata wound him up, Morris avenging the low blow received from Hayata in the build by issuing one of his own and the involvement of the title as a weapon after it was used in the build all made sense to me. Hayata getting the upset win using the leverage of the ropes (again, as he did in the build) to keep Morris down for 3 protects Morris somewhat, however I was still left scratching my head that the decision was made to end his reign in such a way, when it still felt like it had a lot more mileage left in it."

[7.0] "Personally I preferred their match at Stand & Deliver, but this match was fun. Its clear that Melo is getting drafted soon and Trick is going to be the top guy in NXT, so its nice to see them have a second match. I do, however, feel this rivalry couldve benefited from just being given more time. For a 10 minute cage match, this was good, but this feud felt like it needed a 25 minute classic. Its possible they may just be saving that for the main roster, but either way, this match was fun with a goofy ending and sets up both men for their next avenues well."

[8.0] "A fun and short match. Im of course a massive Dragunov fanboy so I was excited to hear he was having a match, and I had heard about JeVon before, and I can see why now. These 2 put as much into those 6 minutes as they could. I especially loved the counters as they were all smooth as butter. I can tell Shawn is big on JeVon already, and I hope to see him in this position often."

[8.0] "Dijak is easily becoming one of my favorites. The dude has insane talent, especially for a big man. I dont get why hes losing, but at least he continues his streak of having banger matches. A really fun opener that got me excited for my first time watching an NXT tv event. Fast paced, brutal moves, and it even made me appreciate the talent of Noam Dar."

[2.0] "A lot of twists and turns for the format of this one, with James Davis and Eddie Dennis doing "Injury Be Damned" spots in the middle and end of the match respectively. I felt very little in watching this one, as i think that i've seen enough of The Origin to conjure up an entire match of theirs in my own mind and see it happen before me. It's not fun to watch a group lose their spark. [2.25]"

[6.0] "The match had a good pace and was a showcase for Miracle Generation against some Dragon Gate veterans."

[6.0] "The mat stuff at the beginning personally isn't my cup of tea, but I really like how it leads into their very brutal back and forth of attacks. But some of their momentum was lost by the constant pins and kick outs near the end which really annoyed me. Also the footage that I was watching was filmed in a way so that you couldn't really make out what happened when they went outside of the ring, which is a shame because they acually did some really cool stuff. Overall, I think its a good match but I can't rate it higher because of those problems."

[10.0] "Excellent match, one of the best opening match in NXT history, this was to me the best they could have done in less than 15 minutes. Noam felt credible for the first time in a while and Dijak felt like he feared Dar's moves. This was perfect and both men could have a title match next week and feel credible as challengers. Awesome"

[8.0] "Very good twenty-minute spotfest between two of the most interesting acts in Pro Wrestling NOAH in recent times, Ninja Mack and Alpha Wolf, who went to war with each other in brutal fashion to my delight, and they're real sickos for some of the spots they did. No botch, just creativity and perfect execution, I was never bored and I loved the intimate atmosphere of the match with the crowd. If anyone still doubts whether Mack deserved his spot in the BOSJ this year, watch this match."

[7.0] "Much more of a thrill than i expected. If you see this match as a three-part structure, 5 minutes per act, then you can see a much more visible rise in intensity. Coffey impressed me a lot in the final act, which i definitely was shocked to see. Rampage, as he often does, looked like a house of fire and was damn great at the power game. The finish endeared me and also put forward an interesting development to the Atlas Round Robin, i wonder if there are many more time limits in the thing. [3.5]"

[7.0] "Lovely stuff overall. Seeing Giulia in Stardom you can't feel a bit emotional watching it, even if she isn't one of my favorite. The action was really good, and even if the time limit draw was a bit obvious as the match got on, it worth a watch."

[8.0] "This is probably one of my favourite match made by The New Day in 2016. It was a very great clash, and I loved Jericho and Styles also as tag team, they had a great alchemy and they demonstrated that thing during that match. The ending is very good, and fueled their rivalry for WrestleMania 32. (8/10)"

[7.0] "An enjoyable match between to Legends who, for the first time, faced off each other. An historical moment. (7/10)"

[8.0] "Technical masterclass between simply the two best in that environment, it's as simple as that. Makabe is retiring in three months so seeing him realize his dream of facing his idol Zack Sabre Jr. whom he's always admired even while being active on the independent scene was important to him, and of course he put on a banger with a Chelsea FC jersey because it's the most Daniel Makabe thing ever. Too many things have happened in this match, he's had several lives and it's hard to describe him. But see it if you like this style, because it was successful in every way."

[7.0] "I almost cried for The Miz's tooth. Jokes aside, it's a very good single match to introduce AJ Styles in WWE. (7/10)"

[0.0] "There's nothing to say about this. It's terrible. Looking at the superstars involved, worst WM match ever. I remember discovering about this match thanks to WWE 2K14 and thinking "Wow, that is really cool! " but I was soooooo wrong. I know they were leaving and didn't want to pleasure a crowd that booed them for 15 minutes, but damn this was a theft of time. I want my 13 minutes back."

[6.0] "The match itself isn't as relevant as the story between Elizabeth and Jinny, but the action was standard and not too out there for what i've seen out of this quartet in PROGRESS. The emancipation of Elizabeth from Jinny is genuinely really engaging, i hope they cap it off in a big way soon on a future show. [3.25]"

[8.0] "In the top 3 of the best matches of Mustafa Ali's current run hands down, it was a blast from start to finish with lots of action, very physical spots like this Dragon Suplex on the apron and a crowd really invested in the match. Blackwood is surely the most underrated worker in the world right now and has been for years, I don't know why nobody signs him but whatever happens, I hope this match against Mustafa puts even more light on him because this was damn good."

[7.0] "About on the level of their previous match if not slightly better. The dynamic between these two feels a bit off in the ring with Hayes as the heel and Trick working from underneath. Cage matches in WWE without weapons can also be slow to watch but they kept a good pace with little downtime. Presumably this is Carmelos last match with NXT and he had a good run there overall the last three years nearly."

[7.0] "They worked hard and it was a good main event, I'm still a little disappointed because between this match and their Stand & Deliver one, they won't have had the big match I was hoping to see but I just think it's very early and they'll be destined to face each other again in the main roster in the years to come, they're both the next big thing so I'm not worried and it's a rivalry that can stretch over a decade given their history together. The match was cool, nothing special but perfect to give Trick some momentum before next week and to send Melo into the main roster."

[7.0] "Despite the distraction finish, a good match prior with good work between both talents. Presumably a rematch will happen in the near future to give Dijak a win back."

[7.0] "A great example of a Cena/Angle booking working wonders, Michaels had already booked this two years ago with Nathan Frazer when he responded to Carmelo Hayes' challenge and here it was the same principle. Evans' arrival in the match was badass as hell and they're high on him because facing the NXT Champion in a competitive match when you only debuted on TV last week, that's something huge. The match was obviously short but fantastic for the time given, I loved every second of those six minutes."

[7.0] "Your weekly Dijak good match in NXT as we're used to, even if it wasn't the match of the century of course but it was perfectly fine for a TV opener that lasted as long as it needed to and offered us some very good action between two good workers who perform well together. A surprising victory for Dar, but I can see the rivalry continuing."

[10.0] "Everything was perfect in this match. Sometimes the 2 out of 3 falls stipulation causes a match to be too long and boring, but it's not this the case. The Revival are the perfect in their role of old school heel, and DIY in their of babyface that clashed against their opponents cheap shots. The only thing I didn't appreciate very much is the length of the first fall, Johnny fell too easily. For the rest, it's a non stop match that would be appreciated even by someone who doesn't like wrestling. A lot of fake finales kept everyone on their toes. The ending scene of Wilder and Dawson tapping at the same time is fabulous. Congratulations to the canadian crowd, they were so into the match. Not that it was difficult, this is one of the best match in NXT history."

[9.0] "Great match, very intense from beginning to end, full of believable nearfalls and good selling, Mike Barton looked very strong"

[7.0] "This doesn't really start off the best. Hero and Claudio look kind of awkward trading submissions for the first ~10 minutes. The camerawork in this match is really not doing it any favors either and it makes the action hard to follow. I kind of expected more intensity out of these two for a greater duration of the match and not just in the final ~5 minutes since typically tag partner vs partner matches are intense all the way through."

[7.0] "Typical Attitude Era mahyem. Under the pure wrestling aspect it was bad. It didn't even make sense that Vince used sneak attacks when the referee was his son who was part of the Corporation. And don't forget this was supposed to be a normal match, so Shane should have ended the contest when Rock hit HHH with a low blow. With the double Rock Bottom starts the cool part of this match, the final minutes are a climax culminated with Austin's return (and a HUGE pop). Maybe this could have been the main event for WrestleMania. With nowdays rating system it would be a 5/6, but in the Attitude Era the product was very different and I feel that the situation of having finally this waited battle - The Rock vs EVERYONE - should be awarded. Anyways, I don't fully appreciate this match, it lacks so much of good wrestling. I'd give it 6.5."

[9.0] "Feast your eyes, folks - the attention to detail here is exquisite and the technical warfare escalates expertly from the cautious trading of holds to the ruthless and brutal ****1/2"

[7.0] "A lowkey dream match but a little bit underwhelming. The match is slow and dragged down but the closing stretch makes up for it. It seems that Ishii is slowing down for Nemeth here maybe because Nemeth is still not used with the Strong Style setting in NJPW. Nemeth doing the headbutt on Ishii but kinda hope Ishii no sells it to show his true nature, just disappointing there. I like how both men doing a one count kickout as some sort of high drama in the match. Ishii's selling of the Famouser is amazing, way better than most of the wrestlers who are in the receiving end of the move. Ishii doing the Danger Zone (Zigzag) of his own is kinda out of character for Ishii but still a savage move. Nemeth with his own Danger Zone for the win to continue his dominant streak as the IWGP Global Champion. A good match but could've done better. ***3/4"

[8.0] "This match is such a rarity on women's wrestling. Hard hitting, lightning paced action between the ladies. The ladies are not sloppy, and their moves are very crisp to watch. First of AZM is such an amazing wrestler, I love how she do a lot of follow-up moves to take Vaquer down so hard. Vaquer with an unusual flurry offense in a form of a headbutt is such a devastation to watch, but I trust her though and doing her best to protect AZM. The resilient showing of AZM versus the absence of malice of Vaquer shows the most ying and yang of wrestling chemistry. The Dragon Screw by Vaquer by AZM is very painful looking, it really looked like she's hurting there. One of the nasty spots that was hard to perform correctly is when AZM using a Double Stomp on Vaquer from the top turnbuckle to the floor. KENTA or Prince Devitt must be so proud of her for doing that though. The way that they trade offense with a forearm by AZM and a headbutt by Vaquer is great. Vaquer luring AZM to attempt an offense only for her to do an arm-drag like hold is such a delight to watch. Great women's match by the two and love to see them more in action. These two ladies have amazing chemistry together and they worked like magic in the ring. Co-MOTN with Riddle vs ZSJ. ****1/4"

[8.0] "There are three certainties in this world: death, taxes and ZSJ delivering another wrestling clinic. Riddle is a great challenge for him knowing that Riddle came from a legit MMA background. ZSJ's amazing flexibility makes the submission holds impossible to perform by an ordinary wrestler. ZSJ transitioning from one submission to another and sometimes delivering three holds at the same time is simply amazing. Riddle tried to best him out with his own strikes, but ZSJ is simply too good for this. ZSJ working on the foot of Riddle, a mistake by Riddle by wrestling barefooted especially to the likes of ZSJ hence he used this as an advantage. ZSJ's anklelocks on a barefooted Riddle with no protection. Another thing that amazes me is whatever Riddle performed an offense, ZSJ countered with a Triangular Choke, ala-MMA style. ZSJ's Pele Kick on Riddle's arm followed by Riddle's German Suplex is a cool sequence. Good selling by Riddle with his ankle though especially when using his injured ankle as an offense. ZSJ with a pinfall victory despite having multiple submission holds is again something I questioned as of late, it's like his submission holds are just an equivalent to punches or kicks. Overall, a great technical wrestling match between the two. ZSJ and Riddle had great chemistry and my money's on them if they squared off again. Co-MOTN with Vaquer vs AZM. ****1/4"

[5.0] "Decent and short antics match, some crowd work at the start and foolishness with the ref. Neither wrestler needed to really show off for this match."

[5.0] "How nice to hear Tiger Mask's music! And also how nice to see how over Satoshi Kojima is in Taiwan. A fairly straight forward match but the crowd loved it."

[8.0] "Great match with a surprising finish. While I am a bit tired of Noams distraction finishes, it was utilized well here. Yes, Dijak eats another loss, but it looked like he was the one being spotlighted here. It seems like WWE sees him more than just a good hand these days. Which is why I was super surprised that Noam wasnt just a fodder opponent for Dijak. Its also noticeable that crowds are really into Dijaks babyface moveset. Noam had one of his best matches in NXT US. Credit to both him and Dijak for making each other look great out there. Now theyll probably run this back with Dijak neutralizing Meta Four and getting his win back."

[7.0] "Not exactly what I'd call a banger, but it was serviceable and dynamic enough to be a fun match and fulfill it's role of simple in-ring entertainment. I'm hyping this up to a 7 because of how difficult the compenetration between all wrestlers involved to deliver the sequences and spots so smooth truly is and they did a pretty good job doing so. Creed Brothers still have a long way to go. I would make them next contenders or put them in a feud that put their storytelling abilities to the test. DIY winning makes me have some mixed feelings despite being one of my two favorite tag teams in WWE right now. Having them competing for the tag titles is always good to see, but ignoring when New Catch Republic challenged at Elimination Chamber, they've been number one contenders everytime and I think we need some freshness in the tag team scene. However, out of the three teams involved in this match, they're the ones with a more solid story with Awesome Truth, so their match has a bit more of substance. PD: that Meeting in the Middle is probably the best one they ever did. So cool of a finish. (*** 1/2)"

[7.0] "This was your run-of-the-mill TV main event, a solid bout with a relatively hot crowd. I think Theory's charisma (or lack thereof) and mediocre in-ring skills held this match back. I thought Seth could've did a better job selling that knee, in one sequence he can't lift Theory for the buckle bomb but then in another he suplexes Theory off the top rope seemingly without any damage. This overall was a pretty decent watch and I'd rate it *3.5/5."

[7.0] "A very good match indeed, the two immediately understood each other very well and maintained dynamism for practically the entire duration of the match. The face-to-face with Jericho at the end was also very nice."

[8.0] "The combination of four fast-paced high-flyers and two amazing bases in Moloney and Connors works marvellously. The action never stops going from past-paced sections, to crazy jumps, to power moves that cut the action of the smaller wrestlers brilliantly. Definitely the direction in which NJPW should advance.****"

[6.0] "Great bit of wrestling by these 4 but by their own standards I was left a bit disappointed. The grappling and struggle as a whole was the theme of the match with Amano and Yagi being a bit more experienced. Asari like always found ways to sink here Armbar whenever she got an opening while Shiina was obsessed with getting a chokehold win. All that said, despite it being filled with some really slick wrestling there were times where it felt like they were going through motions which I wasn't a big fan of."

[4.0] "Kalisto Vs Konner was okay it only picked up at the end the match had an advert for the network half way through which is dumb and kinda ruined the match as we dont even get to see half of it"

[4.0] "Well... it felt like an exhibition match, one where the tag teams had never worked together before and with massive rookies on each team. I think Aki Shizuku was a valid winner. Cherry had a great showing because it was an audition, she did some impressive stuff here but the unfortunately the structure of the match didn't hold up."

[5.0] "Blech. Not horrible but it was just not an entertaining match in the main event slot. HoT controlled the vast majority of the match. I wasnt looking at my watch but it felt like about 12 minutes of heat and then a few minutes rush to the closing stretch, The right team won here. **1/2"

[6.0] "Not a Stardom watcher but I enjoy when they pop up on New Japan shows. This was a very solid, albeit formulaic, match. Classic smaller veteran versus big rookie match. It was a struggle at times but Kid led her less experienced dance partner through a competent match. ***"

[6.0] "I liked this. Spot shows like this are fun because you get to see some depushed or lower card guys get a chance to show what they still have in the tank outside of a 8 or 10 man. Kojima is still great and Tiger Mask is holding up surprisingly well. Fun match, **3/4"

[5.0] "This was bearable for a HoT match given Tsuji and Shingo were involved. The negative is what a waste of some great talents in this match. The House of Torture advanced after a not very clever wrench spot by SHO. Did not overstay its welcome but not more than average. **1/2"

[6.0] "Good match with an anti-climatic finish. Boltin looked great here. I dont think enough people are talking about him as a future major star. OKhan worked hard as well. It was nothing special but did a fine job with what it was trying to accomplish, a solid match that would leave plenty in the tank for the main event. **3/4"

[7.0] "The match is good and Shawn Michaels is absolutely at his peak when it comes to drawing absolute hatred from the fans, but did the Hart Foundation really have to be booked in such a frustratingly incompetent way where Bret and Owen do not show up at all when the entire DX faction are at ringside screwing Bulldog out of his European title. That made absolutely no sense to me at all when you think about how they had been booked throughout the entire year! With that said it is an absolutely brilliant heel character performance from Shawn. All of his moves and antics was designed to draw more heat from the crowd and he plays it to perfection as well as strong work on the braced knee, which played well to the finish. He also bumped like a mad man putting over Bulldog's power moves. The in ring stuff was solid and I liked how Lawler on commentary noted the pressure Bulldog was putting on himself when he decided his match to his ill sister. It's an infamous match that to this day people talk about."

[3.0] "Rhett has more credence to being involved with ROH than almost anyone across three different decades. Since the purchase from Tony, he has been almost entirely used as an enhancement talent to lose to others when he could be more with someone that recognized his strengths. A match like this should have more place with Rhett being a former TV champion but with how inconsequential the build is to anything like this. A shame to see."

[9.0] "Real great grappling, as expected from two of the best grapplers in the business. This wasn't a shoot-style match by any means, but it had a similar feel, as it felt like a sport where any hold could potentially end the bout. I'm glad Makabe finally got to wrestle ZSJ. ****1/4"

[4.0] "A bit of an extended squash with Tankman and BEEF largely dominating. Sky High got a spurt of offense early and prior to both doing a double dive but BEEFTank caught them both and threw both of Sky High into each other. BEEFTank doing the powerplex (with BEEF doing more of a Frog Splash) is a nice finish for them both as a team."

[7.0] "Iker Navarro is not someone I have seen before so I don't know how he normally works but here at least he worked a Luke Jacobs match so you got a hard hitting, intense battle where neither man is willing to give an inch without a scrap. Jacobs has got to the point where he can have these sort of matches without thinking too hard about it and could be the British Tomohiro Ishii if he continues to improve ***1/2"

[6.0] "Acceptable work just for more roster members to team up with/face Juria and to show the world Pom Harajuku's karate background."

[7.0] "This was a very good match with a fiery finish but a somewhat abrupt finish that I assume is to lead to another match as it also felt like they held some stuff back for another time. This is a good rivalry to build between two RevPro regulars but in this moment I think Mills should be getting the push as he has found something that is working for him at the moment whilst RKJ could benefit from a reset or new direction ***1/4"

[10.0] "Certainly my new favorite in terms of tag team matches, both in the overall structure of the match, as well as the story line that goes throughout this entire thing. The last half of the match is especially wonderful. The Meltzer Driver done to Page on the ramp, not mentioning everything else that was done to him on the ramp, Kenny Omega's kickout at 1 from the Golden Trigger, Kenny attempting to use the One Winged Angel but couldn't due to his shoulder, only for Adam Page to do his own, that double lariat at the end, move wise this match is fucking stellar. Pretty much the entire length of this match isn't wasted, and it's one of the most engaging in terms of action. The story, however, is what makes this match one of the best of its kind. More and more, I'm starting to really love Adam Page, because he plays his part of this story perfectly. A man trying to prove his worth to both his partner and the other team, while he almost unravels at times. Having him win after everything he went through was beautiful. The Young Bucks, as well as Kenny Omega played there roles beautifully too, with Omega being stuck in the middle, and The Young Bucks getting flustered and annoyed at not being able to beat either of them. Jealousy, and anxiety. What a beautiful story."

[5.0] "Dani Luna is reliable for a good match at this point but Safire Reed is still getting there. Her vicious heel 'Radioactive' character isn't really helping her, I think she should work on firing up and being more relatable until she has the confidence to lay in a bit more so that her work and ring charisma matches her persona. Reed looked to be hurt at the end of the match, I hope she is OK. **1/2"

[6.0] "This was a solid big man match. It is the first time I have seen Goldenboy Santos but he had a good showing here, particularly in the selling of his back which he was consistent with and played into the story of the match. Oskar Leube will be a good monster on the indie scene but is lacking in aura at the moment ***"

[6.0] "Solid hoss brawl type of match with some big bombs and suplexes. Hard hitting and striking match for both talents. The pace could have been a bit quicker I felt but still a solid match."

[7.0] "A match that peaked a bit too early, and was dragged down a bit by Nanae. Momo was great, but this one was all about the performance from Saya, who has yet to be able to recapture this kind of fire. I'm a little sour on the match because the ringside camera was zoomed in way too much and a bit shaky, while the hard cam was discolored, so I was a bit dizzy after watching. Maybe it's just me. 3.5 Stars."

[6.0] "A decent enough match where Big Show took a nap for about half of it but came back and a couple cool spots like where he suplexed both of the other wrestlers at the same time and hit Cena with a rough looking tackle. My personal favorite spot of the match was the Scissor's Kick over the top rope to Show. 3 stars."

[9.0] "Despite the disappointing way the match finished, this was a really good match with Bret again getting the best technical work out of his opponent. Undertaker is one of the best sellers in the business when it comes to making Bret's targeting of the knees look really effective. Its a great back and forth match where they waste no time at all with the explosive offense from the start. Bret exposes the top turnbuckle early and I kinda liked how it was obvious Taker spots it immediately before it eventually backfired on Bret. The crowd reactions was mixed for both men, which gave it a strange but unique atmosphere."

[4.0] "It was entertaining I guess as I could not stop laughing through some of it but this was a pretty awful street fight that swayed more to comedy wrestling than the intense feud it was supposed to be. The table botch, that you could see coming, capped it off for me. Should have been a SmackDown main event at best."

[6.0] "This fell into the trap of doing too much and too early. Bombfests are fun in tag settings, but the 1-on-1 action shines much brighter than the tag work, while the whole thing felt a little Disjointed. Overall some solid fun, but this ends up being just above average at best. Saree's performance alongside Nakajima is worth noting though. 3 Stars."

[7.0] "Fun Cruiserweight title match, There was a lot of heat in the beginning that was just emblematic of the time, but once they got going they busted out some cool stuff. Like Noble's pumphandle/wrist clutch exploder. This ended typically how every heel wins around this time with a manager distraction and the feet on the ropes, but that Chokeslam Hurricane hit afterwards was sick. ***1/2"

[7.0] "Not that bad. Really goo dtag Team moves. and Rizzo and Jaida parker werent that bad, they didnt do that much in this match, but its not bad, and now there getting more NXT time. The family is a mice and wondering what there going to do with em now. and out of the mud is way better than i thought."

[2.0] "Was this a good match? No. Was this an all-time bad match? (Meltzer gave this minus four stars! ) No. It was an 80s WWF comedy match, what did you expect?"

[9.0] "I think this is my personal WWE match of the year so far it is very good Gable suplexing Sami while Sami is hugging his wife is so fucking good I think I rewatched it like 3 times"

[6.0] "This one didn't do anything special for me. I think the main issue (besides the malfunction at the end) is that none of the pyrotechnics looked like explosions. They were just puffs and flashes of smoke. If this had just been billed as a barbed wire deathmatch, it would have been great. Most of the blame lies with AEW instead of the wrestlers, who really did put themselves through hell with the barbed wire spots, but I can't in good conscious go higher than 6 because of the issues with the production."

[10.0] "This match, the culmination of extensive buildup, was a comedic clash between Kenoh and Kaito. Kenoh resembled a stalker relentlessly pestering Kaito, who desperately tried to shake him off. While it appeared more like a playful scuffle, the actual match showcased both wrestlers' mastery of the craft and their dedication to delivering a compelling narrative for the audience. Both gave it their all, producing a match that rivaled championship bouts in terms of intensity and quality. This storyline is still unfolding, and it's both highly entertaining and eagerly anticipated."

[6.0] "A fun but fine pre-show opening match, this was a good way to heat up the crowd before the main show"

[9.0] "NOAH's unconventional match style. While Ninja and Wolf aren't particularly adept at Hardcore matches, I can confidently say that they did an excellent job incorporating their signature Lucha style into the bout. They showcased a plethora of creativity, such as Wolf's steel chair attack ricocheting off the ropes and hitting himself. A subtle yet entertaining detail indeed!"

[7.0] "A real shame about the way this ended. This was looking like a great match as you would have expected with these two with some excellent mat wrestling, but unfortunately everything that came before was completely overshadowed by the near career ending accident where Owen botches a Piledriver on Austin and ends up breaking his neck. Thankfully Austin does come back from this, but he had to completely change his style and retired early."

[10.0] "With the benefit of hindsight, this was a great booking decision. I like this match better than WM XL just in terms of wrestling. All time match. Great nearfalls, the last 20 minutes smack. It was kinda fun to see Roman get the pin. The finish was perfect ngl. Definitely a 5 star match."

[9.0] "This was a well booked match. The heel/face dynamic was reversed here because Owen Hart was loved in the UK and the natural size vs technique style of the match played to the crowd reactions perfectly! Vader was surprisingly dynamic as a powerhouse style big man and his offense looked very effective where he was weakening Owen with some of the slams in the early part of the match and Owen somehow kicks out of the splash move from the second rope. Owen's technical style won the crowd over even more and although he was criticised for it on commentary he would repeatedly try to body slam Vader and got a huge reaction when he is successful with it after weakening him and he makes his big comeback. It was a very different style of match where you wasn't used to Owen wrestling from below like that because he was heel most of his career, but he was pretty damn good at it. The finish was a bit sudden where Vader wins with the slam and uses Owen's momentum against him, but this was still a really good match overall."

[3.0] "This was a poor match, but considering Mark was actually hurt, they did the best they could to produce something entertaining, so I give them credit. The selling was fine, and they try and make the match have a 'wild' feel with all of the chairs and chair shots. It just really had no substance at all. The finish was definitely abrupt and left a lot to be desired, but again, you have to take circumstances into account. Not a match anyone needs to go out of their way to see, but there are worse matches out there. Especially considering the injury."

[10.0] "This match certainly doesn't hit for me the same way as some of the other matches involving these four have, especially in terms of Kenta Kobashi and Mitsuharu Misawa, due to the slower speed in comparison to something like Kobashi vs. Misawa in 2003. But I can't deny that this is an excellent match in terms of the chemistry and story telling between these four, with some absolutely beautiful spots here. Kobashi trying to protect Misawa from the pummeling of Akira and Toshiaki was great. The work on Kobashi's injured leg was great. A ton of fantastic selling. A fantastic tag team match, just don't expect it to go by fast, that's for sure."

[3.0] "A match that was pretty rough to watch as a Piper fan but it was fun to see him hold up the title at the end. I always thought Kenny's leg drop looked really good and after the match Dusty Rhodes made it seem like he was probably the better choice for being Flair's partner in this situation. 2 stars."

[6.0] "This wasn't bad but it never really kicked into full gear, and there wasn't as much made of the really great chemistry Bishamon have developed over the last year or two."
