[5.0] "Just as the same as their bout in Nagoya but with a little bit more improvement. This time it is for the IWGP Tag Team Championship. Proper tag team cooperation and good synergy between ELP and Hikuleo. KENTA and Owens on their same old tricks as always. KENTA faking out running the ropes, only to nonchalantly kick ELP's head is somewhat savage yet funny. The distraction at the end ruined the match for me, but still a decent match on its own right. ***"

[6.0] "There is not much to this match, since it starts nearly the climax, but it is very enjoyable, with some believable nearfalls and a good showcase for Tamon Honda"

[9.0] "This was everything. Dijak + announcers' chair spots = happiness. Femi is absolutely incredible and Briggs was a welcome addition to the chaos."

[4.0] "This was just a match, not the best way to start the show but at least it got some people on the card"

[10.0] "What does it mean to fight? What is "will? " What is "spirit? " You could probably find the answer to that in this match. Even now, I struggle to put into words just how incredible this match was. Hazuki... Saya Kamitani... two extremely talented wrestlers who on this day... for a rough 23 minutes... ascended to a level that many cannot even DREAM of reaching. They brought out the absolute best in each other. Their chemistry was perfect, their spots were flawless, their offense looked better than ever, their energy engulfed the entire gym that day. Their passion enveloped each person who would bear witness to this glorious match. Hazuki's "I'm not going to lose" ferocity clashing with Saya's "I will not be beaten" vigor made for a match that i will never forget for the rest of my days. Hazuki laying in her attacks in bunches, desperately trying to put Saya away, desperately trying to obtain the championship that she was willing to DIE for. And there were many times where she came close. But so did all the others. And they all failed just the same because this wasn't just any champion, it was the Golden Phoenix; someone who has snatched victory away from her opponents in the most unlikely, awe inspiring ways. Yet, within the context of this bout... Hazuki made the people BELIEVE. You could tell through all those excellent near falls that her supporters had genuine faith that she could finally be the one to clip the wings of the Golden Phoenix. And THAT, is the magic of this match. The thunderous roars, the ferocious screams, the pure rage of the Wild Heart took this match to the next level. You could FEEL... really fucking FEEL the intensity that she was bringing throughout all of this. And that in turn elevated Saya to the point where she was forced to surpass all of her past remarkable performances. And THIS forced Hazuki to step up her game once again. And it just went on and on and on and on. This continuous back and forth action and exchange of emotion allowed these two to operate at an insanely high clip, where they took the versions of this match that people had imagined in their heads and gave them an even BETTER version; a version that served as a beautiful representation of what makes this sport so uniquely special. This is something so magnificent that it just cannot be understated, yet also cannot be properly described. No matter how much I waffle on I will not be able to do this match enough justice because this isn't a match that can be explained through words, but something that must be felt with the soul. Saya Kamitani expressed after the match, "Hazuki... you put your life on the line for this title, so I was able to fight with a lot of passion." I couldn't have said it any better. And if two people evoking such feelings within one another, driving each other to greater heights, isn't wrestling... then I don't know what is."

[4.0] "Did they really wrestle a 20 minute story-less and predictable stinker just because the Copemeister likes doing moves, huh? Bold choice, ngl. Unfortunately this is terrible. Maybe if it was 10 minutes shorter or if it had any actual stakes it would be better. **."

[7.0] "Some sloppiness from both talent, but otherwise a great traditional match. Certainly the best I've ever seen from McGuillicuty, who does a decent job getting heat for himself by acting like a cowering heel. Tyson Kidd carries with a lot of the flashier moves but this is by no means a one-man show. Underrated match, and a great showcase of what NXT could be at the time, gets the new vibe across perfectly."

[7.0] "Very good match, Vader looked like a monster, doing the majority of the work during the beginning, and Ogawa sold well"

[] "It was a good match l love both ospreay and Claudio but this isnt my favorite match for both wrestlers I would give it a ****1/4"

[8.0] "This is the second Volk Han match I've watched, and wow is he amazing or what? This man fits a role that I didn't really expect to see him do in this match: He's a bully. I mean this a shoot style David and Goliath where it looks like Volk's gonna rip Naruse's limbs off. Naruse does have some great hope spots but Volk just dominates him on the mat but surprisingly Naruse's striking game appears to be better. But Naruse tries to play at Volk's game and that was never going to work out for him. Volk takes him to the woodshed and rips and tears at Naruse. Great stuff. ****"

[5.0] "A very de-escalated for this one. Styles relies on BULLET CLUB to rough up the Ace at first, then he works him over in this unaimable and somewhat bland manner until Tana matches him with his famous courage. He even takes the low road, responding to a low blow from AJ with one of his own when the ref's back was turned. This feels like a main event match that was left unwritten, so as to say, it feels very empty. Lots of room for improvement, but the sections that did have essence were fun enough. [3]"

[] "This match was pretty good. Nothing stands out to me. It was nice to watch, but it felt like was going for too long. I found myself looking at the time in the show to see how much longer it was. The ending was a little underwhelming as well."

[9.0] "Im genuinely convinced that WALTER is allergic to bad matches. This man wrestled like his life depends on it. This was spectacular. Brutal and stiff throughout, and some fantastic spots with the announce table being chopped nearly in half, and the clotheslines from Ciampa. Neither mans best match, but definitely a career highlight for both men."

[4.0] "Bit of light work for the champion, which is fine, Kyle doesn't need to be putting on half hour bouts or killing himself on ROH. Kyle has the same low drop down on his Dragon Suplexes that remind me of Kenny."

[] "Poor Chris Adams not even getting an entrance. Adams did a great job at just about everything. How do we not get a lot more of him? Disco focused on getting heat the whole time and not really trying to make the match entertaining. It really brought the match down. The backstage segment in the middle of the match also showed how much importance this match has. Especially since the segment was not needed for any storyline of any sorts. The ending was so weak as well. Please never let me see this match again."

[7.0] "This was one really took a while to get going. I feel like Watanabe's Odeo Tai heel shtick was ROUGH early on. She and Saya also had some awkward moments as well, most notably that table spots. The last 6 minutes though... they REALLY brought it home and displayed some truly fantastic wrestling. This match is too uneven to call it great, but it was still very much worthwhile."

[6.0] "I'm not sure why Angelina and Max were teaming here, let alone what they did to deserve a title match, but this was pretty good. I like M95, so the match was always going to be somewhat enjoyable."

[7.0] "If you're familiar with Daniel Makabe, and you appreciate his work, you'll love this. A ZSJ match was the least the wrestling world could give to Makabe from his contributions, and I think they both held up their end of the bargain. But to me, this suffers from a general issue I have with Makabe. It's that whenever the match steers away from being on the mat, Makabe is outclassed by his opponent, and the overall quality levels down. Similarly, how when Zach was getting his start in Japan, he wasn't anywhere near the convincing standing up as he is now. But then again, technical wrestling and matches based around riffing on that mat aren't necessarily my flavor of the month anyway. But I won't deny how tight and quality that mat work actually is. Overall, 3.75 Stars."

[8.0] "If this match didnt have as many botches or sloppy moments, it could have been a 10, but that doesnt mean this was a bad match, far from it. These 2 put on one of my favorite kinds of matches, 2 big dudes who can move and wont stop doing wild shit. Dijak is one of my new favorites and it makes me really sad that Vince either didnt see this match, or did and still decided to ruin him. The chair springboard, the top rope Spanish fly, and the power bomb sequences were all super hype. I love this match."

[] "These two teams have great wrestling psychology and chemistry. They had the crowd cheering and booing after every movement. It started a little slow for my liking, but it didn't take long before they had be invested in the match. I am very confused on why Chavo left his corner to yell at Taylor. And why Taylor was rarely the legal man. Overall it was an okay match. I wish that the cruiserweights would've gotten offense in because it felt like it was just Finley controlling the whole match while hinting that the cruiserweight would get a hot tag or something that would get some heat going, but it never happened."

[9.0] "This was a fantastic brawl that became the culmination of this enticing rivalry. Sharing a rich depth of history, I expect a good battle in these men's worst days, but the stipulation loosened them up to explore the arena, creating memories in the initial stage already. Their incredible chemistry as opponents was on point during the midpoint of the match where Christian gained the upper hand. The odds from Wayne & Killswitch nullified by Garcia & Menard were cool and the utilization of Spike was creatively ridiculous. I had to shut my eyes for the constant low blows since it felt overkill. Adam's victory was written all over this match ever since it was announced, and I'm happy to see him as a champion in this generation. 4.5 out of 5 stars!"

[6.0] "This was better than I expected a Dan Maff singles match in 2023 to be. Silas Mason has a ton of potential."

[4.0] "The total dominance of foreign stars over local ones. The Russians were on the top in those years, and this match was their debut in the land of the rising sun. It was a spectacular squash in which Nikita and Krusher had the initiative for the whole 5 minutes, and they were shown to be a very powerful force."

[8.0] "Necro Butcher is here in BIG PANTS. Not just any big pants, big green nearly parachute pants. This was super fun, I expected this to be a decent brawl considering this is an older New Jack but man him and Necro kept up with each other pretty well. This is a brawl that is bloody and visceral with some real smart usage of weapons. Even when it seems like Jack is impervious to pain, Necro just whoops his ass throwing as many objects as humanly possible on The Original Gangsta. Don't get it twisted though, Jack also messed the dude up plenty of times. But when Necro hit the sidewalk slam on the double chairs, I thought that was it. But New Jack is a tough son of a bitch and how I dare I assume otherwise. Necro appears like he's going to do Jack's finisher "The 187" (A Diving Chairshot to the Dome) But Jack smartly grabs Necro's beard and does a deadly driver on an open chair. Jack then gets a chair/light tube concoction and does a diving splash with it on Necro's skull. To summarize; this is a fun brawl with some gross bumps and a satisfying finish. ****"

[3.0] "Inconsequential and utterly boring. It's bad enough that Gallows n Gun make me feel nothing but having the gall to try and escalate the empty tension after 15 minutes of less-than-nought heat and failing to do so in the faces of two charismatic supernovas like Goto and Shibata was very annoying. Their first match from WK9 in much better. [2.25]"

[2.0] "Coming back to this match after watching way more Iron Man matches, I've got to say that this was probably the worst that I've seen of so far. I know that its good heel work from Brock to take advantage of the system to weaken Angle with that chair but the problem is that he does this way too early into the match. This prevents Angle from being able to really showcase anything decent in this match as he has to sell himself being extremely weak in this match. Lesnar isn't even the underdog in this match so it prevents me from making any excuses about this. I've personally never really liked Lesnar's style so I was very uninterested in this match."

[5.0] "Pretty weird match, I have alot of mixed feelings about it. Reminds me alot of the Kurt vs Brock Iron Man match which involves Brock dominating Kurt due to a chairshot which is what PAC does here. I hate that match because it involves that a bit too much and also doesn't leave much for Kurt to do. This match improves on that as its only 30 minutes and also builds up to that moment instead of doing it right away. On the other hand, I feel like the stipulation isn't really used all at much, this did not really feel like a Iron Man match and rather a long singles bout. There was still alot of empty space. The ending is something I'm mixed on as well, I think its cool and unexpected but at the same time kind of doesn't make sense and is sort of thrown together. Really cool moments but also things that drag this one down for me."

[9.0] "I really like this match. I rewatched it over and over and i love it even more. Charlotte is such a good wrestler and they actually were able to work a injury. Bianca and Asuka were really great in this and they did well. The ending was the best part its was fast and it shocked me."

[5.0] "This was fun, but none of the matches lasted long enough to get any sort of drama going. I particularly enjoyed Magnum Muscle's run."

[10.0] "Once again that chemistry between these two just shine right through. What a great continuation between the story of these two, now they are completely even. Hey, at least this one as a crowd! And while personally I think the lack of a crowd did wonders for the previous match, I can't deny its nice to have so much noise between these two beasts beating the absolute shit out of each other. They have to wrestle each other one more time."

[6.0] "The feud was stupid (such as Sheamus in 2015), but both of them was good for making a good match despite Ziggler's injury. (6, 5/10)"

[7.0] "I started laughing genuinely when John Cena type the keyboard before smashing it against Rusev's back. (7/10)"

[] "This match is so fun to watch. It is hard to tell who to boo and who to cheer. I do not know either wrestler but they are very high paced and entertaining. Good showing for both wrestlers. Super Calo misstepped a few times that were a little obvious but they immediately go into another spot and make you forget it ever happened. The ending it very strong and shows Lash LeRoux showing some strength taking the win. This is a great match. One to show someone who never got to see the old cruiserweight of wcw."

[0.0] "I am in accounting the post match segment in this (as I do for every match I rate) and that was one of the most disgusting and disturbing segments I have ever seen in wrestling especially towards a legend in the industry. What the actual I am surprised that Lita ever returned after this. The match wasnt even anything special either I was going to give this a 5 but that segment.. dear God that segment"

[10.0] "The epitome of WALTER's brutality, and Dragunov's persistence. It's not often you see such severe discoloration of both the chest and the back to such an extent, but I'm all for it. These two fucking decimate each other, . They beat the fucking hell out of eachother, and I'm in love."

[6.0] "This features a great heel showing from CM Punk, with him even sneaking in a cheeky bladejob at a time where that sort of thing was strictly forbidden. The match we got was basic, but it did everything it needed to do well. Punk offers his chin for a free punch in an act to belittle Lawler, but Lawler throws a classic Lawler right and Punk sells his shock well. Punk is constantly trash talking and is even singing at Lawler as he works him over. Lawler is physically limited by this point so they keep the action basic and not to do anything too flashy. The audience here absolutely sucked here. Lawler gets in a few hope and signature spots and this forces the audience to make a bit of noise. This built up Punk as a heel while adding fuel to the fire of his feud with Cena. I'm sure if this match happened 5-10 years prior, these two would make magic together."

[7.0] "This was weird placement on the card, with a weird champion and a weird challenger. While Tanahashi would grow to become an all time great, at this point he shouldnt have been challenging for the GHC belt on a stage this big, Rikio needed someone more respected. The crowd needed a breather after the last two bouts and they just couldnt get interested in this, partially because of who was involved and partially because they were worn out from two instant classics coming beforehand. While its popular to hate on Rikio, he was a great worker who could get the crowd behind him at points. There were fun spots here and the crowd werent totally dead for it, but they struggled by making the smaller and less established Tanahashi seem like more of a threat than he shouldve been. What needed to be a David vs Goliath storyline became a bit muddier with NOAH not wanting Rikio to play a heel up against a NJPW talent. Ultimately this is a really good match, and a bit of an underrated one which wouldve scored a couple points higher with a better position on the card and a couple changes to how it was booked. Rikio comes away looking like a beast of a man, and he really did have something special which NOAH clearly saw when they popped the belt on him, its just a shame it never properly landed. Rikio eventually takes control and gets the win in a good match after some brutal slaps to Tanahashi in a closing stretch that never really got intense enough. This wasnt perfect but it was a fun watch. Definitely underrated and worth a watch."

[7.0] "Would have been nice if they had got more time and they should have really but AZM obviously impressed, showing a bit of what she is all about to an American audience without ever really getting out of first gear."

[] "A very slow start for these two teams. The commentary is doing their best to give it some heat, and it's work a bit. Not enough though. It doesn't help that the crowd is also not interested at all. When you start off doing lockups with not much else that tends to happen. When they start speeding up it still feels slow and drawn out. Like they were given too much time or were told they went to commercial even though there were still live. There is some enjoyment to be found between the cheating and the show of strengths. The match works to both teams strengths. Sadly it's just not a great match up. The start of the match commentary foreshadows about the ending basically giving thay Barbarian turns on Meng via Jimmy Hart's orders. I personally feel like this was a pretty okay match. Not one to show anyone but not one to change the channel to. And a very baffling ending."

[5.0] "Solid match. Some hiccups throughout the match that damage the flow and overall quality of the match, but its nothing that major to make me rate this any lower. Really great finish as well. Hope these two get to do more in the future, especially if Swerve gets the AEW Championship."

[7.0] "More than a competent physical battle, Kingston and Okada are well-established characters taking their places in the extreme ends. Kingston walked in as the respected workhorse defending the crown against the historic junkie in Okada. The latter's fresh shade is working great as the first step in the American pool full-time and he proved it by showing great mannerisms throughout the duel. Okada's win was expected from a far mile and I'm sensing a rematch anytime considering the holdback in match quality. 3.5 out of 5 stars!"

[5.0] "Just meh, the rivalry is done in poor taste and while there was bits of storytelling, it just wasnt interesting enough to keep it afloat"

[7.0] "It was nice to see Athena back on AEW TV after around a year and a half, but I don't think Red Velvet was the best opponent for it. They just didn't seem to have a lot of chemistry and it mad things look a little awkward."

[8.0] "Started quite slowly with simple basic wrestling, but built up towards the ending and there we started getting real explosive stuff."

[4.0] "Has alot of cool spots but everything around that feels kind of unsatisfying. The setups themselves in this match are really hit or miss, some are really cool like the pile driver into the ladder and the sharpshooter into the crossface by the bucks but some setups are kind of sluggish which really kills the pace of the match at times. I will say that I like the sudden unmasking at the end of the match, makes sense and less cliche than pushing down the later of your opponent. I also liked how Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix interacted with the audience and I came to enjoy their peformance in that aspect. I did not really feel the same towards the bucks depsite them having some really great spots."

[6.0] "This was a fine match that got really good near the end and everything in that end portion flowed together pretty nicely despite being full of some crazy spots. Main problem is that it takes awhile to get going and although those sections aren't horrible they are kind of middling compared to that end portion. A little bit too much of a slow burn for me, but still fine."

[8.0] "This is a bit of a weird one to rate, neither team have that much chemistry as a pair, but you still have 4 incredible workers demonstrating what made NOAH such a thrilling company at the time. This is prime Suzuki era, agile and smooth in the ring while having maybe the best in-ring charisma of anyone going. Akiyama and Hashi are also expectedly excellent, and while Im not a huge Marufuji fan, he also puts in a shift here to complete a really high quality bout. The crowd seem a bit tired out from the previous matchup which is understandable but does take away a bit from a relatively solid first half, made to seem a bit slower and duller than it really is. My favourite exchanges are between Suzuki and the eternally underrated Hashi, but all 4 have good chemistry as opponents which makes it feel very special. There are some really cool spots in here including an awesome slap battle between Suzuki and Akiyama, and by the closing stretch the fans are finally invested in the bout which is excellent to see. There was what seemed to be a miscommunication close to the end with a missed tag which definitely dampened the spirits for a bit, and there were a couple of other moments when timings seemed off and it all became a bit sloppy. It truly felt like an epic so the slight mishaps didnt take away too much but maybe a couple of minutes being trimmed off the final product wouldnt have hurt. Ultimately this was still a very good watch and although there were a couple of slight blemishes its still 100% worth a watch."

[6.0] "Competent in ring work, both men work on each other's vulnerable points in the match and have some great spots throughout. I really liked Swerve's targeting of Page arm into that brutal stomp into the ring. Big problem for me was that I wasn't really into the story of the match and there were some also really stand out no sells. The end was sort of whatever as well, probably would have been better if they ended the match on the stomp instead."

[6.0] "Honestly quite a good pace to this one, with the Hunter lads doing everything in their power to make SDS look as dominant as possible without diminishing their own shines. Loads of well-timed nearfalls and highspots. [3.25]"

[5.0] "Really cool technical match and some amusing character work from Danielson, plays a cocky and unsportsmanlike character to Hero, the crowd and even the referee at times. Two things hold this match back for me, first the ending kind of sucks and comes out of no where. And theres not much storytelling, but thats understandable considering this is a very contained match. Still enjoyed this and a good first viewing of Hero for me."

[4.0] "I don't care about Rush at this match at all. He doesn't look really good when he beats down on Danielson and Danielson's win seems to materialize out of no where in the final minutes of the match. Danielson still manages to put on a decent performance in this match and bleeds like a river. He sells really well too. But I do have a problem with his peformance at the end as he just sort of powers up at the end and really doesn't back a comeback to earn his win. Overall this was a disappointing match for me, though it does still manage to have some redeeming qualities."

[7.0] "Cactus Jack and The Sandman are two wrestlers not known for the grace in the ring. They like plunder and brawling. Every Sandman match seems to be the same thing, IN a match where chairs and trash cans are used without penalty, there is a DQ finish, which ruined a halfway decent brawl."

[6.0] "A pretty nice first time meeting from these two, did exactly what in needed to do in terms of setting up the hype for Danielson vs. Ospreay. It did certainly have some problems, I'm not the biggest fan of Ospreay's selling and there's nothing here that really kicked this match up to make it a truly great one, however it did still make Ospreay look strong with his comeback, as well as being another great showcase for Castagnoli who managed to stay with and maybe even outpeform him here. I think they have some great chemistry and I am excited to see what they could do together in the future."

[6.0] "A nice little opening match for a wholesome outdoor show. Some nice counters and technical moves by Haru, but she couldn't compete with Miu of course."

[9.0] "Another incredibly fun match on one of the funnest shows I've seen. Peak light entertainment Teej! The stacking spot to take on Aja was fun, and her and Raku's shtick together was as fun as always! Tenma getting involved was hilarious too! I love how the girls respect Aja and bump their asses off for her, Shoko in particular took a beating and a brutal backdrop suplex! But yes very fun, probably the best match of the night! I highly recommend this match and show! Oh and another prize... 12kg of .... something ?"

[8.0] "Quite fun match. The first half had a lot selling and slowly working body parts, but it got exciting at the end. Plenty of great near falls. I wish Tiger Mask would have had more time to shine as he's the most spectacular of the bunch. With a good babyface comeback at the end this could have been 9/10."

[6.0] "This was a good match that could have been great. Both Rocky and Roddy are underrated and they put on a fine show, but something seemed to be missing."

[7.0] "Surprisingly cool match since it involved the boring Walters - they really played with the rules and limitations of the Pure title by FINALLY utilizing the second-punch-uses-a-rope-break rule, a behind-the-ref's-back heel punch, and the expired rope breaks leading to a punishing countout finish. Neat!"

[7.0] "Oka is improving with every match, this was a good test for her and Sareee is just fantastic. Solid match, Yutika Oka is going to be a star pretty soon and I can't wait to see it. 3.5/5"

[8.0] "MAO and Sanshiro Takagi usually have really good chemistry and so great at putting earnesty and avant garde fun in wrestling. MAO wrestles in Dinosaur outfit, Sanshiro wrestles in a robot outfit. They end up the streets and back super creative."

[4.0] "Inexplicably, incredibly, unequivocally, unbelievably, unruly, maddeningly.... Damian Dunne's best performance but NOT Sebastian's. [2.75]"

[7.0] "This was a fun ride for Becky before her major stop at the grandest spectacle and for Nia to revitalize her stance in the roster. The latter is presented as more stable and confident in the ring and as a character than her previous years, and I'm rooting for her to evolve as a major threat like she used to be in NXT. The flow was meant to be cut off by commercial breaks, but the telecasted action was standard and entertaining. 3.5 out of 5 stars!"

[8.0] "This match was so fun! Classic Pom shenanigans mixed with Mizuki's own devious hijinks. I had a huge dumb grin on my face the whole match! Oh and a basket of ... something (? ) for winning! What a prize haha"

[7.0] "Another Tommy Dreamer/Raven brawl, which is always fun to watch. But ECW hasn't aged well and this match wasn't the best brawl there ever was..."

[8.0] "Another really fun match. The spot with Rika ditching the match to go eat and drink in the crowd was super funny, as was her using Mahiro as a human shield. Mahiro looked good, and Arisu brought some serious speed when she was in! And of course it's nice to see Nao in there - I will be super sad when she retires! Also the wacky prizes for winning continue... bags of rice this time? !"

[5.0] "It was good to see Sheamus back. Was very glad he had his old music back. Decent showcase against Ivar, who is going down to NXT."

[10.0] "One of the best Fatal 4 Ways in recent memory. I popped hard for ricochet doing the 450 through the table. Bronson Reed looks fantastic here, can't wait to see him vs. Sami Zayn for the IC Title. Jey winning feels like a fresh choice, and allows us to delay Drew Re-gaining the WHC until Clash At The Castle"

[10.0] "Often Jr. Heavyweight wrestlers can put on bouts which focus on acrobatics and choreographed spots, that can be beautiful and elegant, but this is a whole different kettle of fish. Both men clearly want to prove something here, both men who wouldn't have made it far in Babas AJPW due to their size, and clearly want to demonstrate that Jr wrestling can be the most exciting, intense and fast paced brutal stretch of technical work, stiff strikes and power moves youll find. Both men sell like hell here, demonstrating really brilliantly how working body parts should be done; there are also some brilliant spots that play into KENTA struggling with his neck and Kanemarus arm failing him. While this is exactly what youd expect from KENTA, Kanemaru might actually be the better competitor here, with some incredibly unique offence. Its easy to forget just how incredible Kanemaru was considering the different style of competitor he is today. There isnt a dull moment in this bout and the closing stretch is truly nerve wrecking. On a card with 3 of the greatest matches of all time, this one can often be forgotten, but its incredible and truly worth going out of your way to watch."

[4.0] "A decent triple Threat with a clear winner. Solid ending sequence. Could've done without the shenanigans from Steeet Profits and Legado Del Phantasma. I personally would have swapped some of the opponents in the triple threats, but then we would have had two 7/10 matches rather than one alright one and one really good one."

[6.0] "This match was decent. Taylor did what he could with the incredibly limited Hook, but that still wasn't that much."

[8.0] "This gauntlet was a perfectly layered masterstroke of wrestling, best suited for the television standards. Ricochet and JD gave a blazing start thanks to their insane chemistry built for weeks, followed by a dominant showing from Reed. Zayn stepped in as the mega underdog and surprised Reed, gave a tainted mirror of the NXT classic against Nakamura, and delivered a beastly sprint against Gable. Even though the positions were interchanged between the winner and the runner, I felt this was a fabulous build to the 'Mania showdown pitting Zayn in his comfort space against the record-setting champion. 4 out of 5 stars!"

[9.0] "A great triple Threat Match, which really surpassed the first one of the night. One HoFamer, and two other future ones."

[8.0] "These two have had great chemistry every time they have faced off. This ended with a roll up, leading me to believe their Rivalry is far from over."

[3.0] "A total spotfest , a load of slipups and a lot of unlikely great offence from Bubblegum. I wouldn't exactly reccomend, but i think that Bubblegum has one or two moments where he really shines and shows his difference in experience. He also gets his bottom out, so swings and roundabouts. [2.5]"

[6.0] "Generic WWE TV Cage match. Perfectly fine, but nothing special. You always knew how this one was going to go. Sad to see Carmelo Hayes leave NXT on such a whimper."

[6.0] "Decent for an open challenge Match. Ilja showing how he can guide a much less experienced opponent. Set up Evans as a legit competitor in NXT."

[9.0] "A legitimate WWE MOTY contender from these two. Great technical wrestling with the audience never knowing which was it was going to go. Sami's entrance was the absolute definition of Aura."

[8.0] "A very solid triple Threat tag. I though it was interesting that they allowed three legal men at once. Some very good offense from Kofi Kingston, especially the tandem offense with Woods. Matches like this are a reminder of why New Day still exsist."

[4.0] "Another bad time with the ROH low-card. The Carnage Crew vs. former Prophecy feud is hanging on a thread as they do the same match over and over, and this time they were joined by the Ring Crew Express and Outcast Killaz to do bland standing and brawling. Had the most unacceptable pinfall botch, too."

[4.0] "This was a fairly dull match. Typical American indy style with lots of flips and big kickouts but none of it being particularly interesting. Toon's package piledriver off the bottom rope was a neat variation of the move."

[4.0] "Vince Russo just has to paste his face all over the TV screen when he has eternal "go away" heat. Curt Hennig's life and career are soon to come to an end. He only has one more match after this one and it's short nothing match with David Flair. Vince Russo will Vince Russo."

[3.0] "I'm really disappointed after watching this match, Naito's taunting was fun, Naito dicking around with his pant leg was good, Moxley's suicide dive into a chairshot was well done, and the pop when Moxley won was good. But like, literally what else happened, I love both these wrestlers but the match just felt so stifled, from the crowd being half asleep to Naito messing up his signature combo nothing in this match ever really clicked for me, all the love in the world to Moxley though good for him."

[6.0] "its fine., another fun mancer match but I think it should have been a stipulation. mancer brought the aggression but it felt like Davey Vega was playing keep away which is fine but I dont think he has nay shining moments. ending was alrightish but execution by dude interfering wasnt there but the mance sell was good"

[7.0] "This is by far the best MJF match. It's not great by any means and them (mostly Cole) stalling for time is totally unnecessary. But calling the bodyslam, Big Bill taking the t-shirt and the entire Double Clothesline sequence is genuienly top notch comedy stuff. On top of that, I like Max character performance in this, being pumped up and very silly but very genuine in here. He struck gold in here. Wish it'd stay that way. I truly like this one."

[3.0] "Pretty aimless, but with traces of story peppered throughout its short runtime. Dar aims for the legs, he tries and gets caught with an upset loss. Meh. [2.25]"

[] "Decent if not particularly memorable little match, mostly thanks to Norman Smiley, who has a few good moves and shows off his strength with a great double underhook piledriver. Smiley's little dances fall somewhere on the spectrum between mildly entertaining and really annoying, but the crowd seems to enjoy it. The commentators spent the whole match discussing how to pronounce Smiley's last name..."

[7.0] "Claudio was the most impressive with the 100 seconds delayed suplex and some other strenght power spots. Fun match."

[5.0] "Sonny Siaki had a good look, but TNA tried too hard with him. Had they just let him grow slowly and organically over time, he might have gotten over, ruling out the whole kidney donation thing. Jerry Lynn could get good matches out of anyone, but this one wasn't anything but average. I think that falls more on Siaki's slow and methodical approach rather than anything Lynn did here."

[6.0] "Fun brawl with the usual guts on display despite short-haired Choshu being cursed. Hell of a good lariat by Choshu in this one. Double count out finish feels organic."

[8.0] "This was a fantastic match. We all knew that the BCC are great, but Fletcher and Hobbs had no problem keeping pace with them. Hopefully, this is the year for Hobbs to break through to the next level."

[] "RANDOM MATCH ALERT! (I watched this choosing a match at random on Cagematch by using random number generators.) Nothing much to this one. Nothing particularly bad about it, just doesn't generate very much heat or interest. I do dig the flames on Bam Bam's outfit, though..."

[5.0] "Solid match that was really an excuse to get to the angle afterward. Obviously had to work around Julia Hart's injury, but the commentators going on about Copeland being forced into a handicap match while Julia Hart had just been standing on the apron the whole time was amusing."

[7.0] "This match may not be everyones cup of tea, but speaking as a fan of mat-based technical wrestling this was a great match. Bret gives plenty of time to let the old vet Backlund shine here and sells his offense quite a bit. The double bridge out of a pin sequence alone is beautiful to watch but Backlunds selling can be a little over the top lol, he constantly shouts Woah! no matter whats going on Lmao. Overall, Bret being able to *just* about outwork Backlund plays into his heel turn and their program together. The"

[] "Very solid match, though it didn't quite meet my expectations considering how high it's ranked here and that it's one of Io Shirai's biggest matches. Maybe it's because I hadn't watched any of the previous bouts between Io and Mayu Iwatani, so I didn't feel the heat of the rivalry or anything. Still, solid wrestling all around."

[8.0] "This match tried to be too match in 15 minutes: you can't develop properly a normally wrestled match and a comedy one in such a little time. That being said, this was a good match nevertheless. There is a couple of highlights like the double jump that are very cool, it's just a pity that the comedy looked pretty basic. ****"

[6.0] "I mean, it could have been noticeably shorter, but at least the timing was justified by the plot and the teamwork between Kurara and Sakura grows before our eyes. After one show in Koraken they will show great chemistry. Yuna and Poi acted differently than usual, wanting to make the newcomers progress"

[8.0] "It's great to see Mustafa Ali bounce back from the dust and find the perfect place to thrive. His in-ring style and the newly-minted character brought more eyes to him, and this match has proved the fact that he'll become one of the best talents of TNA. Sabin is a TNA legend, and this loss doesn't give a fly on his record. I enjoyed his presence as the X-Division emperor and with Shelley in MCMG. Even though I get the reason for exercising all aspects of both men's arsenal, the slow burn didn't fit the mold. Some of Ali's bumps looked maniacal and the finishing stretch was excellent, falling under both men's comfort space. 3.75 out of 5 stars!"

[7.0] "This was some good clean fun. Lots of flips and weapons, and they blended those two peices together well in my eyes. Liked Mack's work when his hands were tied behind his back. 3.5 Stars."

[4.0] "BFTs reign has gotten very long in the tooth and this did not do much to make me feel otherwise. Aron is very entertaining with them but their matches are often the low point for NWA for me today and this was a reminder of that."

[6.0] "Thank God it wasn't too long and they didn't have to do all the brawling, because they kept the match in the ring and weren't wasting any second. The action was fast, everybody was hitting moves on everybody and moments when Stone Cold and Rock were left alone in the ring were phenomenal with the fans losing their minds over it. A chaotic, but nicely executed finish to end the contest."
