[5.0] "Hated the start with the brawl between LIJ and HOT, not sure why that needed to happen. The real match started, and Tsuji and EVIL wrestled a very standard match, and it didn't pick up until the usual HOT run-in. LIJ coming out was good, with Shingo's run-in being notable, and the ending with the BUSHI mist and Gene Blast fit the bill. Overall, a satisfying end to HOT reign of terror in this tournament, but a match who's quality had no chance of getting past the 'above average' ceiling, at least in my eyes. 2.5 Stars."

[5.0] "A match that felt a little excessive in my eyes, and then lazy in others. A plethora of Elbow strike exchanges and no sells, some dropped selling of the legs, and other little issues. Enjoyable because I like both guys, but a really bad structure. 2.75 Stars."

[6.0] "It's really not a hard sell, two massive babyfaces getting the advantage over two massive heels and delivering emphatic ass whoopin's. It's 90% atmosphere and 10% action, but i'll be damned if it's not worth the time and more. [3.25]"

[6.0] "Fine match. Dustin getting a match to take advantage of the Rhodes Family being hot. This match felt more focused on the Swerve vs Joe feud than the actually match as it felt like Dustin was never going to win without interference. A lot of blood that continued AEW overuse."

[8.0] "Damn good effort by Joe and Angle right here in a simply excellent match, not on the same level as their awesome battles from a few years earlier but the comparison is irrelevant, the match as it is is simply very good and I was perfectly satisfied by what I saw from these two incredible performers who have always had a special connection together. It was hard-hitting, rich in quality and Angle getting out of the Coquina Clutch with an Angle Slam was a crazy moment."

[6.0] "Pretty good TV match. Dijak has been getting annoyed by Meta-Four's antics recently, which led to this match. As usual, Dijak impressed and the crowd is on his side, while Noam Dar worked well as the smaller heel using his lackeys to gain the advantage. There were some good nearfalls in the final minutes. Dijak was about to win the match, but got distracted by Oro and Dar hit his finish for the win. Weak, predictable ending that served as a way to keep this feud going, although Dijak really should be doing more important things. 6.5/10"

[7.0] "Enjoyed this match. Both these women are young and have a bright future in AEW. These two have good chemistry together. This was one of Anna Jay's best performances I have seen and May looked good as well. This was another good match for the AEW women's division that had been the weak point of AEW until recently."

[7.0] "Good rematch of their insane Slammiversary match, which obviously wasn't on the same level but it clearly wasn't what you'd expect so there's no disappointment to be had, I just wanted to see a big tag TV main event with names as good as theirs and that's what I got. The action was very good but the most important thing here was the story around Kazarian, who made it look like he didn't want this match and in the end totally changed his mentality, a very good game plan from Bad Influence."

[6.0] "This was a decent hoss fight with great showings from Bishop and Navarro. The double door bump was a cool finish."

[6.0] "The match itself definitely improved with the last 15 minutes and Seth, Roman, and Cody carried the match but the biggest weakness of this match was The Rock himself. His star power and heel work definitely elevated this for me but his in-ring work was rather poor in my opinion. Bro was stumbling around and he got too easily gassed for someone his age. And Ive watched great matches from him and he can go in his peak years. That being said, the psychological aspects of the finish with Cody having the odds being stacked against him really is well-done by the trio on commentary. And for that matter, they actually did a great job of selling the match for me even if the results were underwhelming. Not as awful as the people in the comments are making it to be but I agree that this did not need to be 45 minutes whatsoever."

[10.0] "No doubt the match of the night for me so far. The storytelling, the in-ring work, the emotions, and the way Gunther was able to get under Sami and his wifes skin throughout this match made me feel like that Sami could possibly pull it off considering the man he was facing and the great worker he is. 10/10 match from me no bones about it."

[6.0] "I thought this match was as alright. They let all the women get their licks and the crowd definitely was hyped for Jade no doubt. Thought the way that Damage CTRL was portrayed in the match soured me on it a little bit. Other than that, a 6.5/10 match for me."

[3.0] "The story and acting was solid and the crowd seemed into it but the moveset of both men was too similar and the constant kicks really got old after awhile. Such an underwhelming letdown after the hype into the feud."

[5.0] "This match really wouldve felt better inclined to have been featured on Raw. Having Dom be involved feels pointless and adds an unneeded wrinkle into Dom and his fathers rivalry. I also feel like the wrong team won and while Im glad the Philly crowd popped for Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson, those two had no business being involved in the finish of the match aside from cheap pops."

[8.0] "A gigantic spotfest clusterfuck but it works with some of the talent in-ring really bringing their all for this sort of match. Sort of had a car crash quality to it that I couldnt help but not look away from. Despite the Smackdown winners being a bunch of lower card jokes, I actually loved that the crowd popped for Awesome Truth winning the Raw tag titles and finally gave R-Truth his well-deserved Wrestlemania moment."

[6.0] "Nice little TV match, but Ospreay can do better. I feel like he's still in a showcase mode for the American offense, and his matches since joining AEW have been this way. Only the Fletcher match in my eyes has put an equal spotlight on the opponent. Hobbs is still good in spurts here, but yeah, this was about Ospreay a bit too much. 3.25 Stars."

[9.0] "Insane tag match right here, everything was absolutely fantastic and it's probably the best fourteen-minute match you'll ever see, absolutely action-packed & star-studded. A tremendous match from start to finish, with non-stop action and a damn fine connection between all the names in the ring, off-the-charts chemistry between all the protagonists and a crowd completely on fire for them. The result was an incredible match with crazy spots, moves all over the place and an epic moment, because seeing Styles & Angle wear gold together was damn unexpected. Boy, what a blast."

[8.0] "A slow and tedious start to the first half of the match but once the second half and both ladies got their offense in, the match really got into second gear in my opinion and didnt look back."

[3.0] "They were having a good match when they were not using weapons, but that wasn't happening often. Just a random usage of weapons - at one point Saturn gets the fire extinguisher from under the ring, barely uses it and then throws it away. I mean it's a typical Hardcore Title match with no story at all."

[6.0] "Despite this one being more of an angle than a competitive match, they achieved what they set out to do and they delivered on two or three big spots that the crowd enjoyed. The build to the Willow attacks on a weakened Brody all made sense inside the format they built, and led to cool-looking payoffs. The foot tag between Copeland and Willow also got a good laugh out of me."

[6.0] "I don't like in any way the distribution of the points, but fortunately the last third of this match helps to save it. (6.5/10)"

[7.0] "This was a really solid match. Manders and Sullivan had some decent chemistry as a team and I really enjoyed the interactions between Manders and Sawyer."

[8.0] "Whilst I completely understand why they had this match shortened considering the long match Seth was in last night and especially considering the Damian Priest cash-in afterwards, I actually think this was a solid match all things considered. The chemistry between Seth and Drew is decent and Drew looked dominant in his original win. The stuff with Punk was a nice preview for their incoming feud. Besides I cant be mad when the Judgment Day is ruling all."

[6.0] "This style of Cassidy match feels a little familiar (i.e., it's getting harder for even a creative wrestler like Cassidy to deliver new formats/layouts for his matches as a resilient face), but both of these guys worked a very solid TV match in the time they were given. From a booking perspective, giving Shane Taylor the surprise win wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world (as Cassidy no longer has backup) but I understand that they wanted to drive the Trent story a little further. And if you want to ultimately have a vengeful, violent version of Trent "eliminate" Cassidy from the promotion, then it makes sense to save that Cassidy pinfall for later. One spot I really enjoyed in this match was Shane Taylor ducking Cassidy's first Orange Punch then leveling him with a huge left-armed lariat."

[6.0] "I personally think The Final Testamnet shouldve won this match as it wouldve definitely been awesome to see Karrion Kross being pushed somewhere down the line. But the only reason this gets an okay rating because of the crowd being hyped for Bubba Ray and the WAZZUP and table spot despite the first table breaking on impact which knocks this down a peg for me."

[7.0] "A rather good match after the droll first fall. Singh and Inoki tend to have more misses than hits but this is one of the latter. Singh winning the first fall with a freaking headscissors sure was a creative decision. I guess Inoki's giant chin can only debuff so many times."

[7.0] "Couldve benefitted from going on a few more minutes but its a decent by the numbers grudge match thatll hopefully result in LA Knight being elevated into the main event scene."

[10.0] "Everyone else whos commented said it best. This is a Wrestlemania moment and goddamnit was it probably the best way for Romans reign to go out and everyone was behind Cody all the way and I loved seeing Cena and Rock do a face off again. Great way to end an improving show over last night."

[8.0] "Probably a hidden gem in this show so far. The chemistry between all three was definitely showcased throughout the match and seeing iShowSpeed as the Prime bottle was a nice surprise too on top of that. Seeing him get his ass whooped by Randy with the RKO on the announce table was a nice treat as well. The in-ring work was solid on top of that and the initial team-up of Kevin and Randy on Logan was cool as well. Love him or hate him (mainly the latter for me on Logan as a person), he definitely shows he belongs in this industry in my opinion."

[9.0] "The selling from Bayley and the in-ring psychology from both men in particular was fantastic and it was awesome to see the crowd get behind Bayley for her Wrestlemania moment."

[10.0] "This match was absolutely fantastic, started pretty slow but the ending was most important, cena, rock, undertaker. Cody finally finished his story, and Roman will get his well deserved vacation, you truly love to see it"

[6.0] "A mostly well-worked match that pushed Purrazzo to a level of speed/urgency that she usually doesn't have, which was nice to see. There were a couple of slips after the commercial break (e.g., Mariah May lost her balance on the landing(s) of a couple of reversals), but they recovered nicely and blended them in to the "struggle" of combat. But, again, the urgency and speed that Purrazzo and May were able to execute the matwork/technical sequences was noticeable better than in previous matches. May's strikes continue to look good, and her kickouts are among the best in the division."

[8.0] "Some great hard-hitting stuff to start the tenth Slammiversary in the best possible way, certainly two of the stiffest wrestlers performing at the time met in the opener of this show in front of a red hot crowd for the X-Division title and of course it was fantastic. A little too short, I know they had an even better match in them that's obvious, but a pure treat while it lasted with both of them offering us some amazing moves. The way Aries won was incredible, that Brainbuster was so crisp."

[9.0] "With the exception of one small hiccup on a super-complex tijeras/headscissors spot early in the match, both of these guys hit the mark with every single sequence at an extremely high level. And for a TV main event, this was about as good as it gets from an in-ring perspective (i.e., showcasing both wrestlers' strengths with a coherent in-ring story as to how/why the finish can be clean and decisive without the loser's reputation being reduced). This match was also a good example of how you can subvert audience expectations when they're very familiar with each of the wrestler's movesets -- e.g., each of the counters to familiar moves was convincing in a "this was scouted" way. Claudio works as a great base for wrestlers like Ospreay, and I thought that made the aerial counters (e.g., Claudio's catch of the cross-body) look great. The finish built very nicely into a climax with the shock of the swing being countered as a nice subversion of the moment."

[8.0] "Very good match between Roode and Styles here which was absolutely the perfect kind of match for a big TV main event with the world title on the line, this is what any world title defense on television should look like with a lot of time, a hot crowd and two big names doing their thing pleasing the fan with super quality action. Way better than any match they've had before this one, it was all really excellent and I loved the way Roode took advantage of the few slight moments when Styles was distracted to regain the advantage and then win."

[8.0] "This was a brilliant tv match that played perfectly to both men's strengths. Even Tyrus' involvement actually enhanced the action."

[3.0] "Another convoluted Tag Team Match from The Dudleys, because they can't have a normal bout, halfly due to the fact that the crowd won't stop chanting "we want table" when they're involved. There are no disqualifications, but at the same time they have to tag, because there would be consequences if they didn't, right? Christian & Edge are very entertaining in this, but that's the only plus."

[7.0] "Aguayo and Hamada's feud carries this one. Aguayo is a great fireplug rudo and him swinging for the fences on the faces is great. Nice to see a pre-Tiger Mask Sayama putting in the work in Mexico. He's not as slick as he'll become but he's getting there."

[6.0] "As ever, Takada doesn't move me but with Fujiwara there's at least a neat dynamic of the creepy predator-like fucker trying to catch Takada or in this case, wear him down the whole match. Most of Takada's kicks are avoided apart from a flurry in the corner which results in Fujiwara being taken down and just laying motionless on the mat and Takada puts on a heel hold but sits there and does nothing to make it look impactful which was weird. Fujiwara eventually corners Takada and hits a crazy headbutt to pick things back up and when Takada tries the same, it doesn't quite land like when Fujiwara does it. The leg kicks that won the last match between them never add up, the head kicks don't add up either and Fujiwara gets a nasty heel hook win."

[9.0] "This probably didn't need to be 25 minutes long, but it was still a damn great TV tag match and I have to give a lot of credit to those involved. Danielson, Claudio, and Hobbs all looked fantastic. As usual I wasn't really feeling Fletcher but he didn't drag the match down or anything, he pulled his weight alright. The idea behind the match was very solid, Don Callis (ugh, but whatever) wants Danielson softened up before the Ospreay match. I note Ospreay hasn't had much to do with Callis, I have to assume they're going to split him off soon and that's definitely for the best. The finishing stretch using the announce table was great, they didn't even have to break it and they still made excellent use of it. Very fun match."

[7.0] "This match and their survivor series match is interchangable both were basically the same match just at different events , Dominik interfering was fine because it furthered the feud with Dragon. This was a nice fast paced match , and I basically have the same thoughts on this as I did on survivor series."

[] "This was the first Mei Suruga match I had ever seen, and she was entertaining as hell! A very good and athletic wrestler who does a fantastic job of implementing little moments of comedy into the match, like striking silly poses with AZM while grappling with her, grabbing the commentator's headset and providing some commentary mid-match, and her funny reactions after the loss. I loved the moment when the ref got wrapped up in some of the grapples between the two wrestlers. Really entertaining and well done match."

[8.0] "This was a really good match: the Bucks and Okada's character work is simply fantastic and the whole commentary shtick by Nicholas was hilarious. Wrestling wise, this was really enjoyable. The action was fast-paced and fun with the babyface team delivering a good perfomance. Pac's hot tag was great and him and Okada going face-to-face felt important. The crowd was really into the whole match. Loved the superkick/rainmaker combo at the end. 8/10 - 4*/5*"

[6.0] "Fun match but nothing more, enough for a main event of this type with some good things but in the opposite case, not enough memorable spots and a really rough finish with this botch and this scary fall of RVD that could have ended badly with his leg stuck in the ladder, same for the last one where he falls on the chair. The work before that was cool, but I must admit that the ending turned me off a bit, it could have been better."

[8.0] "This was another great action packed fatal four way after the great women's four way earlier on. Melo was showing us why he is the future , and Bate was proving how talented he is. As with Joe and Eddy , they did alright as well. I don't have any complaints with this one , good match."

[8.0] "Suzuki starts trash-talking on the ground as early as possible and the whole match is Nakano trying to shut him up, figuratively and literally at some points by hitting Suzuki in the jaw. They turn what's pretty ordinary and stationary ground game into real heated and petty dogfighting with Suzuki having a little more finesse than Nakano at most points with his takedowns and escapes but being welcome to just get up and stomp on the back of his head when getting the chance which is a game that Nakano will almost always win. Suzuki follows up a gotch-style piledriver with stomps to the head and knee drops which he should bring back to be honest. Nakano obliterates him with a crazy lariat and even though Nakano gets back to his feet at around 10, it's called as a double KO which looked about as good as a double KO can get."

[8.0] "Would be hard to disagree with anybody who had this as their match of the night. So many great spots in this match and super hard-hitting action. It lost me a little when the elite grabbed the mic in the middle of the match. It was funny but it didn't really work for me."

[6.0] "This one wasn't as good as the previous year. With that out of the way, it was still fun, if a bit sloppy in parts, especially towards the beginning. I wasn't a fan of the way they just let Becky enter the match when she wasn't scheduled. It all seemed a bit forced and pandering to the fans. But Becky winning was the right move."

[6.0] "I was pretty bummed when this turned out to be more of an angle than a match. But I was satisfied when Willow made her entrance and did the brody king barking and finisher. She's so awesome."

[8.0] "Watching a match like this in the current day feels like such a breath of fresh air where the main feature of the match is treated as the biggest deal possible. There's a lot of teasing and fighting to push the other into the barbed wire but not too much that it's tedious and the bumps into it feel big and important. There's no real over the top grand fall into any of them, just guys losing their grip and dropping from the apron and getting cut up bad. The crowd really react to all of it too and it's so great. Kurisu gets busted up the worst not even with the barbed wire but when his head is bounced off the metal piece between the post and buckle. The fighting between apron and ring is some of the best I've ever seen, genuine struggle and not letting the other guy get back to high ground makes sense even without the barbed wire stipulation. Neither guy sacrifices the stip to no-sell the barbed wire to look tough, it's just pure grit and determination to fight through that wins out for Onita in the end."

[8.0] "Really enjoyable trios match that incorporated character work/comedy from the Bucks/Okada while still exhibiting their abilities in the ring. The format felt like an old-fashioned multi-man PWG match (in a good way! ), and the losing trio still got lots of chances to shine. That's especially important for PAC who has a big match against Okada on Sunday, and the Bucks/Okada did a nice job of "avoiding" fair fights with PAC in this match (i.e., telling the audience he's good enough that they're afraid of him). The superkicks/Rainmaker finisher looked awesome, and credit should be given to Daniel Garcia for selling the impact well. One small detail that I really liked: both of the Bucks threw left-handed whiffs to sell the fluidity of Penta's sling blades. It's not something that most guys do, and I thought it was a really clever way to make the opponent look slightly less choregraphed in eating the sling blade."

[8.0] "A great contest between Davey Richards and Johnny Gargano. Richards' offense is lethal as always, and a young Gargano really showed something here. The ending was a bit sudden, but there was some great action throughout this match."

[5.0] "The race to the Top of the Headquarters to capture the Briefcase in Theory sounds like a Great Idea but the Execution of this was so sloppy. It's different I guess but just felt so Lame & Amateurish. Add to the fact that Otis wins just makes this the most forgettable & possibly worst Men's MITB Ladder Match of All Time. AJ with the Briefcase would've been so much better. As if Otis was ever going to be a Credible World Champ."

[6.0] "Actually Enjoyed this one. Sure the Wrestling is subpar but when I watch Bray I'm always looking at him as Performance Art & in that light he truly was Superb. I was also worried that Braun's Universal Title Reign was just gunna be filled with super bland matches with no story other then rah I'm so big & strong, but this match actually had some good storytelling & through the Help of Bray they both made what essentially is a Squash Match, Entertaining."

[8.0] "A really great TV match between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan. Things started off kind of average, but then picked up towards the end in a really awesome way. Great heelwork by Orton. So great that the DQ finish didn't really hurt this one much. Awesome wrestling by Bryan throughout. I wouldn't say this was an all-time classic, but it was really good."

[7.0] "A good match made better by the crowd, but it did feel disappointing because it was overhyped. That said, it is exactly what a TV match between these two should be. They definitely have a lot more in them if a title match or PPV match comes their way. I was quite annoyed the emphasis was more on Moxley vs. Hobbs on TV a week later than Ospreay vs Danielson that Sunday."

[7.0] "An intense match-up with great back and forth action. This was the first glimpse of Benoit as a main event performer and the Rock's first major title defense away from Triple H in 2000. Both guys had a great outing here. For as much as the crippler crossface was built, they didn't do so much to utilize it as a threat. It was more about Benoit out-wrestling the Rock, and the Rock showing his championship fortitude. While intense, I felt they could have achieved more. It was still a great match - something the year 2000 offered in abundance. One of the Rock's best title defenses, no doubt. It also helped establish Benoit as a legit threat. Three stars and three quarters."

[7.0] "Very good main event, so good to see Athena's back on AEW TV. Red Velvet was a great choice for her opponent too, and great to see that Aminata is still part of Billie / Athena storyline. (***3/4)."

[7.0] "Good match. Rocky's one of the most underrated guys in AEW, it puts a smile on my face every time he got a chance on the spotlight, especially knowing how much important he is backstage. And the way Strong vs KOR was set to Dynasty was really good too. (***1/2)"

[5.0] "The match was O.K., the FTW championship isn't something that I really care about those days. And it's not HOOK's fault, but between all the many belts AEW and ROH have, the FTW's might be the one that felt more "out of place" there. (**3/4)."

[] "I get that this match advances several different storylines and feuds, and it does that well enough, but the way it's structured (with Willow getting attacked backstage, Adam getting outnumbered and beat down before the match even starts, the 2-on-1 handicap in the match itself, and Willow running out at the very end only for Julia to take her out with a chain) made for a weirdly segmented and awkward match itself."

[8.0] "What a great match, those four guys became a must-see act in AEW: Danielson is one of the greatest in history, Claudio might be one of the most underrated guys in wrestling history, Fletcher is a 25 years old that didn't run from the spotlight, and Hobbs is in the route to be the best powerhouse in AEW roster. incredible stuff. (****1/4)."

[7.0] "Even that this wasn't my favorite match of the night, it was the one that caught my attention. AZM is fantastic, one of the best in the world. And while I love Toni's character, she needs to improve her persona in the ring. Actually, I believe this was her best match since she became "Timeless" (and AZM was the reason why). (***3/4)."

[7.0] "This match was good. Here are my favorite moments from this match. Fun angle with Willow getting jumped before the match and Copeland is alone in the beginning of the match. So the match was basically a singles match for a good portion of the match, with Julia interfering when the ref was distracted. Brody and Adam have some good chemistry. Adam is exceptional at being a under dog when he gets the chance to play that role. Willow finally came in but she was too injured so the ended up passing out."

[4.0] "Shane Taylor really doesn't do a lot for me. And the thing with Orange Cassidy, is for nearly two years now he has completely abandoned the unique moveset and match structure of being 'lazy' and now he just shows a lot of workrate, as seen in this match. I think this was actually one of Taylor's best AEW matches though, the crowd were into it so can't fault the two men."

[4.0] "I don't understand what is going on with this episode of Dynamite. I like Cassidy a lot, but Shane I don't get him. The start of this match was whatever, then Cassidy does a superkick and everything after that was good, until the match ended abruptly."

[4.0] "Didn't keep me invested as much as I would've liked, I think both women are excellent talents but they caught the crowd at a deadspot, as the crowd was excellent all night, and the match didn't really tell any inherent stories. Mariah had a good showing, a lot of her offence is really impressive and comes across well on camera. Deonna still has some work to do to be TV ready."

[8.0] "Another awesome battle between Angle and Styles here, not their best one obviously but a damn good one nonetheless because it was once again tremendous in terms of action, counters, moves, physical condition, these guys could have faced each other for an hour and it would never have been redundant. I liked a lot of things, everything was super clean in the ring and we saw quite a few great nearfalls like that Angle Slam one at the end after Daniels & Kazarian's intervention. Nothing to say, it was excellent."

[5.0] "A short and fun match, the 5 minutes of this one flew by. Good thing this wasn't a squash, it wouldn't made Garcia any good, it would just push Angelico down. It doesn't feels right to rated a 5-minutes match high, but people should definitely check this match. (**3/4)."

[6.0] "These really fast count outs are ridiculous! It's an okay match with a lot of outside shenanigans that are there to build up the heated HBK/Bret Hart rivalry for Survivor Series with Shawn again pushing the envelope further by disrespecting the Canadian flag."

[8.0] "Hard to rate as a pure wrestling match, but as a presentation, it was absolutely tremendous. Bully Ray (and TNA) really created a star that night because it was the first time Aries had had a PPV match of that magnitude at that point, nobody was advancing him as the winner and in the end he won in the cleanest way possible. He took a beating, bumped like crazy for Bully and his comebacks were always great. That Brainbuster nearfall really got me, and the ending was superbly done with the crowd fully behind Aries. A star was born that night, the ultimate proof that Aries could be a major player for TNA."

[2.0] "If this was supposed to "get over" KANON (which I would argue they already had with his most recent program with Okatani) it maybe wasn't wise to book him running away crying from Dino in the very same event that Kazuma Sumi fearlessly ordered Dino around like he was in control of the man. I know everyone has their own opinion about Danshoku's gimmick and presentation within DDT but I think we can all agree that there's a in-universe inconsistency with these two things happening in the same show. Maybe I think about wrestling too much! Outside of that, Rukiya and KANON are still great workers and Akiyama still is mostly just there for the legacy pop and to have matching colors with Rukiya. I really like Akiyama/Rukiya on paper but since Akiyama can't really do much anymore this is always mid-card fodder until they come up with a real plotline. Maybe Kazuma Sumi can teach KANON how to have a spine."

[7.0] "Good match. Shibata, week by week, reminds me more of the NJPW Shibata (we know he'll never be that guy again, the age and injury history won't allow that), but you can see flashes of those days in him righht now. Good performance by Moriarty too. (***1/2)."

[4.0] "As much as I like Mariah, this match didn't keep me interested. There were a few botches but overall the wrestling wasn't bad. I would rate it higher but I wasn't a fan of that finish."

[8.0] "A match that I really enjoyed, The House of Black needed a strong performance there to hype the upcoming PPV match, and they delivered. (****)."

[8.0] "Great main event right here with very intense & physical action but above all excellent storytelling, because obviously Beer Money Inc. facing off in a PPV main event for the world title was going to make for great storytelling. These two have always been very good at that and I was involved from start to finish, in terms of workrate it was all very basical but in terms of emotion it was charged and obviously very bloody. I'm not sure what to make of the finish, but it was the most Bobby Roode ending possible. I really enjoyed this match."

[3.0] "Honestly not that much better than their underwhelming Stand & Deliver match. It feels as if they've gone about this feud in a much more subdued manner than they should have. Melo and Trick don't really feel like bitter rivals, even though they are established former friends who've gone astray thanks to Melo's arrogance. Where is the indignation? And why does Carmelo Hayes need faceless backup to help him? [2.5]"

[6.0] "Good match, of course I wish that Jay White was in a more prominent role on AEW TV, but I'll wait for that time. Coming out of Dynasty, he should walk out as the 6-Man Tag Team Champion of both AEW and ROH. (***1/4)."

[8.0] "This house show tag team match had every style imaginable. A match with some of Stardom's best a score that high is guaranteed. The Hazuki vs Mei high speed one on one and Mei's submission hold at the end were my highlights."

[6.0] "I don't like so much the fact that a triple threat lasts only six minutes, but fortunately the fighting was acceptable. The bad thing is that the Cruiserweight Division is saw by WWE as a filler and nothing more. (6/10)"

[7.0] "Had 10/10 potential but that wasn't the aim clearly. Claudio was trying to flex his adaptability, doing different moves and sequences that hit on only a few. Ospreay's moveset got reliable pops."

[8.0] "Your usual very good Angle vs. Hardy PPV match in which the two steal the show completely with their natural chemistry and ever so effective dynamic, you know you're going to have a good time when they're together in the same ring and in this case; even more so when they're locked together in a cage to settle scores. It was some great back-and-forth action with some very good nearfalls and a shocking final spot with that beautiful Swanton Bomb from the top of the cage to end the match. Popping at Hardy doing the Angle Lock and the Angle Slam, ngl."

[4.0] "3 on 1 and OC still manages to win this match. OC as an act feels very overexposed at this point especially after his title reigns while STP went from a dominant force in Sinclair ROH to being unable to get by one wrestler. A shame to see as they could be a good group together on AEW TV."

[6.0] "I believe that was the first time I saw Zak in the ring, and while you can see he got potential, he certainly needs to be polished first. Shoutout to Angelo too, he sold Zak's attacks really well there, and really made him look like a menace. (***)."

[6.0] "Fun match, I'm really interested on the Best Friends storyline, and with who Chuckie T, Rocky Romero and Statlander will side in the end. And solid performance by Reynolds too. (***1/4)"

[7.0] "I'm impopular: I appreciate this version of Rollins as face, despite of the motivation and the timing of that turn. This match with Jericho is very good and can develop the friendship between Chris and Owens in the storyline. (7/10)"

[8.0] "Really good match right here, Jeff Hardy had his heart set on making up for the sad events of Victory Road 2011 so he decided to put on a banger at Victory Road 2012, he was given the best opponent for it and like every time these two clashed: it ruled. I knew it would be qualitative and I wasn't disappointed, by far the only worth-watching good match on this show and obviously it comes from Angle. Hardy was motivated, both worked hard and the crowd was super hot so yeah - good stuff."

[6.0] "Nice match, I not a big fan of "wrestlers being attacked and going to the matches in bad condition" angles, but Joe did it good there. And I always apreciate seeing Dustin in the ring, we know it's not going to last (probably), so it gets me happy that he's still around. (***1/4)."

[7.0] "A fine and fun six man tag that, I suspect, is the start of moving SI towards challenging BURNING for their belts. The psychology is centered around the long denial of ever-popular Chris Brookes getting his hot tag, then the very real fear that, once he got in, that he'd just eat a pin anyways. This is set up well pretty early by that fact it felt like SI were always a team of 2.5, what with Matsunaga getting virtually 0 offense in and taking huge chunks of damage from BURNING for most of the match. Brookes and Masada's cohesion win out in the end by scoring a pin on Koroku after an electric chair top rope lariat. Aside from just typical good work rate from all involved (Well... except Matsunaga, sorry) there's a great comedy spot where Koroku and Endo both hit standing moonsaults, and Ino tries to do one as well. At this point in the night, this is by far the best executed match, and given the talent in it, that's probably not a surprise. If this actually bleeds into a real BURNING/SI program I will be very happy."

[7.0] "Good match, wish this was a little longer. Mariah is the future, just 25 years old, very talented in the ring, and with the potential to get even better. Solid performance by Anna too. (***1/2)."

[8.0] "Fun trios with everyone looking good. The microphone spot paid off with Garcia's suplex. PAC's hot tag was excellent, so was Garcia's towards the end. He also sold the Rainmaker brilliantly."

[7.0] "Very fun tag team match like I wanted to see with those names, as soon as I started it I knew I'd have a good time considering the wrestlers present in the match and I wasn't wrong because it was very good stuff and it was even better than I imagined. A bit random on PPV of course, because it could very well have been a big TV main event, but the action was super qualitative and it's a good thing it was on the card in the end."

[5.0] "Decent match, the fact that I couldn't care less about the Jericho-HOOK story certainly influences how my rating for this one. It's a dull storyline, one that drags the show down almost every wednesday. Not even Shibata could save this one. (**1/2)"

[4.0] "I can't imagine the fact that Sami Zayn, the guy who made wonderful matches against Shinsuke Nakamura and Kevin Owens in 2016, was involved in this stupid feud with this cringe stipulation. Come on, what a shit. (4/10)"

[7.0] "It was a good match, but it felt a little too long, specially considering that this one had more than 20 minutes, and any other, including the main event, got 10 minutes. Still, it was a good match to start things up, and the best match of the show. (***1/2)"

[6.0] "Shane Taylor Promotions went from being something in ROH to being an act that eats pins in AEW. The match itself was okay but I think Orange Cassidy isnt as special an attraction he once was. I think its the nature of the beast any time he wins a championship. Hes good enough to win and defend but in doing so, you risk over exposing a special attraction. I feel like after a couple of title runs, were there. I think what Cassidy needs is a feud. A good storyline/drama filled feud to progress the character in new directions."

[8.0] "A very great match for the end of The New Day's reign, with a very well orchestrated ending, with the false tag between Sheamus and Cesaro and Sheamus' victory against Kofi. (8/10)"

[8.0] "This was very similar to their match at DQM, which is very much a good thing. This time, however, I'd say they went for a slower pace and there was not as much heat in it for me. The lack of crowd noise also took a bit away from this match, as well. That didn't stop Saya and Tam from delivering great performances. These two have an unbelievable chemistry and it translates really well. There were not as many memorable spots as their DQM match, but the spots that we did see had fantastic execution. These two were ON IT. That battle of passion, that struggle of wills, the kind of emotional heft that we come to expect of these two could once again be found here. Overall, GREAT match, even if not as exciting as their previous one."

[8.0] "I think this is my favorite encounter between this two so far. It was really fast paced and full of cool moves and counters. They started punching each other, with Kazarian hitting a couple of dropkicks. Then Sabin got the upperhand and hit a double knee on Kazarian at the corner and then he suplexed him to the floor. He goes for a dive, but Kazarain crotchs him and then he hits a slingshot DDT onto the apron. Then he hits a sunset flip powerbomb on the floor. They they get back to the ring, Sabin counter a springboard elbow into a german suplex and then head scissors Kazarian into the turnbuckle. Then both hit and kicked out of each others finisher, I liked Sabin pele kick into the Cradle shock. Then Kazarian hit the flux capacitator (one man spanish fly). Then they get to the corner again and Kazarian tries to rollup Sabin, but in the end Sabin pins him and wins."

[8.0] "A very good match. Cold-blooded, there were chops. An unexpected ending. Watch this match, be sure to"
