[7.0] "Interesting go-home show for Dynamite, they helped a little bit the Dynasty stories, Jon Moxley promo was incredible, but apart from the main event, there wasn't a match that made me happy, so it's just a decent weekly show."

[10.0] "a bit of an overcorrection, I think the modern day CZW is actually a very solid indie fed with great wrestlers and compelling stories. It is still creating stars, such as Zayda Steel, Action Andretti and Griffin McCoy. Just because they stepped away from the ultraviolence, doesn't mean they are dead."

[7.0] "Sometimes it is best to go back to basics and watch some 1970s wrestling. Here pits the master of the fundamentals, the excellent technician, Dory Funk Jr vs someone I unfortunately dont know much about other than the fact that he was Mitsuharu Misawas favourite wrestler. But there is nothing a 20 minute bout with the former NWA World Heavyweight Champion wont solve. The match begins with a quick series of reversals involving hammerlocks before settling into Dory taking over the match through sheer technique. I like their use of the cravate as well. Dory is able to continuously keep his grasp while Hoffman attempts to escape through any means necessary. The story works but they play it for comedy at one point, adding depth to the spot. Although the comedy element isnt out of the ordinary in this era. More suitable to British wrestling than Japanese wrestling however. Hoffman mounts some offence, including an archaic prison lock, which is changed into a bow and arrow hold, and an intense body scissors that Dory has some trouble dealing with. Dory proves ultimately that he is the master in the finish when he counters the full nelson and is then able to pin Hoffman by pinning him with a ZSJ type pinning move, sans the bridge. Cool match from bell to bell. Good grappling. ***1/2"

[8.0] "By far the best match of the night, this was very good, Claudio and Ospreay worked a fun and logical match here, I loved the way Will countered the Giant Swing, and we had some incredible power moves by Claudio. I think AEW are starting to protect the Hidden Blade, so the fans can identify with one of the Ospreay's finishers, that's a great idea. Pace of the match was fabulous, an easy-watch - {****}"

[5.0] "Slightly better than some other matches in this Dynamite, but still far from the expectations, I think this was too short, but while it lasted, they did some good stuff, they should've used the underdog vs dominant story better - {**3/4}"

[5.0] "This was odd, I think these Mushiking Terry matches were designed to engage a younger audience if my memory serves me right as it was a tie in to video game of some sort. His matches are rarely bad, Kotaro Suzuki was an excellent performer, but rather than just tell simple stories in the bouts they seem to just downplay the psychology, leading to some weird matchups which dont really fit the mould. Sano doesnt sell for the first section of this match at all, he just gets up from moves like nothing had happened, before he starts mega-selling his leg. This is quite a slow matchup for something designed for kids, with lots of time spent with Terry just picking away at Sanos leg. Theres very little flow to the whole thing however, and it can look like theyre just walking each other to the next spot. The final stretch is quite competent and the crowd gets really invested, but it never really clicked for me. Definitely a serviceable bout, but not a whole lot more, and a bit disappointing considering the competitors. Not worth going out of your way for, but it is worth going through if you are watching the card."

[5.0] "Average match as always, they did some fine moves and sequences, I liked the way the match ended - {**1/2}"

[6.0] "Nothing really special about this one for me, but a good match, great interactions between PAC and Okada, boosted their match for sure, I didn't liked very much the part where the Young Buck started speaking on the microphone, but the crowd was invested and made the match better - {***}"

[8.0] "This was definitely a better episode than last week's. Which I also enjoyed last week's. Definitely match of the night was the main event. I can't wait for springbreakin next week. Also it was great seeing Noam Dar picking up a victory. Definitely check out this week's episode."

[5.0] "Messy match, mixed tag team matches where men and women aren't allowed to be in the ring at the same time are usually bad, and this one was weird to watch, but functional considering the storylines that were involved - {**1/2}"

[6.0] "Pretty average show, especially because of the matches. I felt just the main event felt like something really special. The Elite match wasn't this good for me. The segments were nice, but overall the AEW storylines are not doing much for its audience. They need better stories for yesterday."

[10.0] "My favourite wrestler in the world, she has absolutely 0 weaknesses in the ring and is an incredible watch. The best moonsault of all time for my money"

[6.0] "Great opening match. I had hoped that Swann would of won but that's okay. Crowd seemed hyped for the match also."

[6.0] "The best opinion that I could think of this PPV was satisfactory! TNA had little time to build storylines and pencil in matches for this event, and they did a pretty good job of delivering a solid card. Nemeth and Maclin stole the show with a fantastic battle, while the main event and the six-man tag became the next-best matchups. The knockouts had a fine night where Grace defended the title in a solid three-way dance, but the tag division is completely furloughed with a "surprising" switch where the challengers are thin like a lasagne sheet. In short, nothing exceptional was expected from here to take away, but it still cut a good blow-off event before the second Big Four."

[7.0] "I wished they did this at S&D without any commercial break and ten minutes longer, it would have been amazing. Great way to elevate Williams, who defeated Melo's security too. And nice farewell to NXT by Melo. I like the final knee through the chair. Trick has to improve some aspects of his technique but that's what NXT is for. I hope to see these two collide once again later in the main roster, I feel like they can give us a memorable contest."

[8.0] "This felt like an old-school main event where the homecoming hero pulled off a miracle to face the monstrous champion. EY is one of the immediate names that would pop up in TNA's long-term fanatics, and I'm glad he had this chance to fight for the title in his hometown. The structure was very good and tough to follow for sprint lovers, but I enjoyed both men's work, especially EY's. The interferences by The System and Frankie Kazarian were meaningful, protecting EY from a clean loss on his home turf. 4 out of 5 stars!"

[] "A very good match with some fantastic spots and great heel work by the Young Bucks, as usual, but yeah... I don't see why this got 5 stars from Meltzer."

[6.0] "From a thoroughly uninteresting opener to a pretty good undercard multi-man bout. Sugiura, Ogawa and Marvin were on excellent form as you would expect, and while neither Inuoe or Saito are great workers, they fit in well to make an entertaining matchup. Marvin really seems to care about everything he is given at this point which is just amazing to see, anyone putting their body on the line with insane jumps to the outside and some spectacular bumps on this level of bout deserves major respect. He has got his working boots on and carries this from what would be a serviceable match to quite a good one. Its a shame Shiga is in it, he looks severely out of his depth, and there is some miscommunication at points but thanks to having three of the all time greats in Marvin, Ogawa and Sugiura this is a fun matchup to watch on this pretty great card."

[9.0] "Will Ospreay worked a flashier, more high-flying style in this than some of his most recent outings. Perhaps taking advantage of Claudio's strong base as well as creating a defined speed versus power narrative. Claudio countered with an oppressive heel approach as if to deny Ospreay's fighting aesthetic. Even without much build-up, they crafted an easy to follow storyline within the match itself that captured the live audience. The brilliant work of two professionals. A fantastic TV main event."

[9.0] "A shockingly great match. I don't understand Meltzer's rating. This crowd is hot and these 4 work like mad men. The crowd is, surprisingly, behind Hansen and Taue. It's like they knew this might be Hansen's last great stand."

[5.0] "I really do hate how the final showdown went down, I don't know their name but there was a person on the floor covering their head for the majority of the final battle and that really killed that part of the match for me, because you totally could have had them hidden somewhere and make the audience forget about them, sadly not the case. I will say that despite not knowing much to anything about the story, the final moments of the match were incredible and I was on edge. Other than that the match was a mixed bag, peaked at Utami's struggle and AZM vs Starlight Kid."

[8.0] "Really nice match starting with a massive chop battle and continuing as a hard fought combat. Tenryu is still amazing as 54 years old and Nakanishi works well with him."

[] "Way too overbooked, but that finish with Darby Allin dropping off the truss and putting Matt Hardy through the table was pretty damn great..."

[10.0] "Finding out Rollins wrestled this match with a torn meniscus bumps it up from a 9 to a 10 for me. I thought the match was already very good, with plenty of near falls and a satisfying end to a great first reign for the World Title. The payoff with McIntyre winning was great, and Punk ruining his moment to lead to Priests cash in was fantastic. Great match and even better angle."

[6.0] "Was it a well-presented promo segment? Yes, it was. But I am not going to give WWE a whole bunch of flowers for cleaning the metaphorical floor when they were the ones to shit all over it in the first place. As other people are saying, this was WWE saving itself from its own excesses, so why are we putting it in the echelon of the likes of the Sacramento concert or Cane Dewey? Because, yes, we can't talk about the Kickoff event without the context of the week prior, where Cody made himself out to be the world's biggest idiot by surrendering his rightful title shot to the Rock only to change his mind six days later at the Kickoff. The Rock inserting himself into the Bloodline story was, apart from one segment thirteen days before Mania, completely surplus to requirements, and this promo wasn't him turning heel to tell a better story, it was him turning heel because the alternative was go-away heat that could've caused another Starrcade '97 debacle. If you're generous, this promo represents good damage control more than anything, and a welcome course correction to whatever steaming turd the shambling zombie of the Bloodline storyline had left in the middle of the ring the Friday before. If you're cynical, this promo represents WWE's top brass flailing to create any distraction it can to make sure you don't notice the fact the company is being sued for its role in the sex trafficking scandal. Either way, the context leaves a sour taste in your mouth, and you can't wash it all away with just a good promo no matter how hard you try."

[9.0] "I'm a fan of the Timeless Toni gimmick personally, but I'll admit her wrestling has been lacking since taking on the gimmick. That being said. I think this was Timeless Toni's best match by a decent margin. I've only seen a few AZM matches before, so I knew she was great, and I'm glad she got the chance to show out in front of a crowd that wasn't super familiar with her, and no doubt she made new fans of hers in the process."

[2.0] "This was standard if unimpressive opener fare, nice to see the older guys get a spot on the card, although SUWA deserved better. Momota and Kikuchi had definitely seen better days, and Izumida never really had better days to begin with. I think theres a reason this hadnt been reviewed before, probably because its quite dull. At least there arent any obvious botches and nobody is in any danger, the closing stretch gets a little exciting too before Honda gets the win. Don't have much more to say, definitely worth a skip."

[7.0] "Suzuki being a cat toying with a mouse. One sided bout ending with a surprise flash pin. Mostly fine, nothing more."

[7.0] "Even though the result was never in doubt, the odds were stacked against Grace and both challengers gave their best to bring an upsetting win. Xia was crafty and energetic, Tasha was clever and fearless, and Grace was meaty and ruthless. All these dynamics gelled well into a commendable three-way dance, meanwhile, the presence of Ash felt okay as TNA's build to her knocked the ceiling away and started to feel a bit overrated. 3.25 out of 5 stars!"

[5.0] "Safe to say the right man won this one. It was a very impressive debut for Aguila and he landed some breathtaking stuff in this, especially on the outside of the ring. Super Loco ended up botching a lot of his moves unfortunately and that took me out of the match because of how sloppy it looked."

[10.0] "At the start of this match I was thinking why do these randoms have that high of a rating for this match on cagematch. After the match finished I understood why. This is the closest match I have seen to Shibata vs Okada. God that finish was brutal."

[5.0] "All the greatest hits of a Danshoku Dino style match, with Kazuma Sumi throwing in a couple of funnies himself."

[6.0] "This was the match of the night until the DQ finish. RKJ shown good things in this match and shined. Leyton Buzzard looked also good before his title match."

[9.0] "I'm not at all familiar with the work of Daniel Makabe, but ZSJ was wonderful in this match in bringing out the strengths of his opponent. It was interesting to see ZSJ working on a low-key American indie show like this. They wrestled for over 20 minutes, with careful yet competitive grappling interspersed with hard-hitting striking segments. With a slow climb towards the end that made the whole thing feel high-stakes. Great match."

[7.0] "MLW seem to be getting their groove back, finally. We opened with a short, but decent match between B3CCA and Delmi Exo. 1 Called Manders then squashed Yoscifer El. Finally, we got the match of the night, as John Hennigan defended his National Openweight title against Willie Mack."

[7.0] "Nice fight between two undisputed legends. Lots of dominant Finlay holds and locks which I always am a fan of. Not too much to say other than this is a solid 90s super junior match. [***1/2]"

[10.0] "(*****) One of my top 5 matches of all time. It is insane to think that a much that good was at the start of the year and it still is moty."

[6.0] "This was a fun match, but MLW seem to have stolen the corrupt referee angle from AAA. It doesn't work better here."

[7.0] "The wrestling is not that interesting but the acting of 3.0 and their selling of FIST brutal offense make their victory a feel good moment."

[10.0] "Saw the score was high this one for an eleven minute match so I decided to check it out and now I understand. This is definitely one of the best Stardom matches I have watched. It is unbelievable what they accomplished in those minutes. Creative sequences, using everything around them in clever ways and the last three minutes were insanity."

[4.0] "A short match which was mostly about Kazuki Hirata's comedy. It was good to see KANON and Yukio Naya tie up, even if only briefly."

[10.0] "Yeah this obviously isn't a good wrestling match, but its one of the most fun and chaotic spot fests I've ever watched. I personally enjoyed this match more than TLC 2 at WM17. The spots were outlandish and looked great, especially the one where Bubba Ray goes flying through 4 tables. One of my new favorite table spots of all time. This was basically the wrestling form of cocaine."

[2.0] "I don't even understand why this match exists. It wasn't a complete botch mess but the Gates of Agony are uninteresting, Hook is alright and Jericho is someone that I can't stand to look at. A bad match within a stacked episode and a crowd that clearly doesn't give a damn about."

[] "What an absolute mess. So much disorganized chaos that the cameras kept missing major moments, eliminations, and story points. I particularly liked how more guys kept coming into the ring well after the match had already started, but were apparently still considered participants. But my favorite moment might be when David Arquette arrived on the stage at the very end, and within two seconds he fell through a section of the stage rigged to collapse when Jarrett or DDP fell off the big scaffold as they fought above him. And the announcers just didn't mentioned him, as if he never came out in the first place. Brilliant stuff."

[8.0] "These guys worked at a breakneck pace, suiting everyone's fighting styles in the best way possible. Shelley/KUSHIDA and GYV were great supporters for Sabin & Ali, who were relatively fresh off a great main event at No Surrender. The chemistry was top-notch, the length was adequate, and the dramatic dissolution of Time Machine was well put together. That drama helped the snarky villains so much to prevail victorious, that was the right move. 3.75 out of 5 stars!"

[0.0] "The worst wrestling game I've had the displeasure of playing. This is an updated re-release of the original WCW Nitro that came out in 1997 on the PlayStation, and it's f**king terrible. Similar to Acclaim WWF titles, you have to perform button combos to perform moves and it seems much worse here. That type of gameplay didn't quite work in those games, but yet they somehow made it worse here. Attempting to pull off stuff can be a process as the game won't register any input sometimes, which make having matches a pain in the ass. The graphics are awful, even by the standards of the fifth-generation. The roster is pretty strong with everyone you would expect from that time, but the developers thought it would've been funny to add joke characters like cows and aliens. I don't even know why THQ and Inland Productions even bothered with this bullocks in the first place. An abysmal piece of software that should never be touched."

[7.0] "A really solid match to close the show. I'm glad that Williams got the win here again and I do think he's beating Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Title next week. Hopefully he can continue to deliver some good matches as champion, as well as good rivalries."

[6.0] "I was at this event. What If? was a better than usual Wrestle Island shows for me. No silly gimmick matches, just fine ones. 2 good multi-person matches, most notably the opener - which was one of the most enjoyable matches I've ever seen from the promotion. The under 23's match was fine but nothing amazing. The Rumble was a little dull, got very full but not many alliances, moments or stories other than numbers 1&2 making it the last 6, along with 3 out of 4 VGS members - which became the big story towards the end. And Scott Oberman cashed in his title opportunity and had an amazing match with RPD - lots of cool moves & counters. There was a bit of interference, but finish was good."

[8.0] "brilliant underdog babyface performance from Wakana. She's well on her way to being a superstar. Aja is an absolute legend, and she made Wakana look amazing here. Great match"

[0.0] "Vince buying WWF in 1983, signing Hogan and then making him the main star and properly capitalizing on Hogan's fame from Rocky III is probably the sole reason why the company exists today. It was a smart move as was signing all of the big stars from each territory and building an all star team. However, after that, nearly every big idea that may or may not be credited to Vince was thought of by someone else first. The big event? Dusty. The Royal Rumble? Pat Patterson. The name Wrestlemania? Howard Finkel. Vince didn't think of using music for entrances, didn't come up with the concept of pushing the envelope in the late 90's, (that was ECW), didn't create the on screen evil boss, (Eric Bischoff). Vince rode the backs of so many stars to a big pile of money. Having read several wrestler's biographies, Vince gets credit for tweaking certain ideas like making Kurt Angle a heel with an 80's babyface persona and a bunch of other things. From 2018 until his departure the company got worse and worse. How any fan of any age found anything about the product entertaining is beyond me and frankly they deserve free merch for putting up with below average content. I'm not going to go into his most recent scandal because everyone here already knows. There's times when you simply can't ignore outside the business behavior and even if he truly was a genius, he'd still get a 0."

[8.0] "This was certainly a refreshing take on the no disqualification stipulation. Regal keeps getting disqualified whenever he has to fight Punk, so now Regal can't rely on that tactic. Instead of pulling out the furniture, the stipulation plays into them not having to abide by the rope break rule. This was incredibly physical, with both men throwing some stuff blows. Regal shows off what a seller he is by exhibiting nerve damage after getting kick incredibly hard."

[10.0] "awesome. amazing. inspiring. But enough about our Hero, Hyper Misao. This match is the peak of comedy wrestling. The random stack of Kaijus makes me giggle every time. And poor Mahiro getting hit and run TWICE is a Shakesperean level tragedy. I think Misao crashing down the Korakuen stairs might be spot of the year. I seriously can't recommend this madness enough"

[4.0] "An unassuming match that was greatly improved with the addition of wild and a raucous and bump from each man. Togi takes a very low-angle Buckle Bomb and reciprocates that by giving Yujiro a Spider German Suplex before the finishing K.K.K.D. [2.75]"

[10.0] "If Marufuji spent his prime years in NJPW instead of NOAH, he would be held in similar regard as Okada and Tanahashi. If you've never seen his matches, you're really missing out, he's one of the best to ever do it, and his influence can easily be seen today, especially in AEW."

[10.0] "True technical masterclass from two of the best to ever do it. This was definitely better than their Final Battle match."

[8.0] "Regal and Punk have great chemistry and it is on full show in this little gem than barely goes past the 5 minute mark. The mat-work is flashy but with plenty of grit. Regal roughhouses Punk with a sickening boot while Punk is lying next to the ring post, which busts up Punk's face with some hardway colour. It's a shame that the great finish is obscured by a replay of Regal's half nelson suplex. Regal has Punk in a sugar hold, but Punk is able to fight his way to his feet and scoop Regal into a fireman's carry position and land the GTS. You just know this match got Regal to respect Punk as legitimate talent who is not afraid to play rough, even in the sanitised world of 2008 WWE."

[9.0] "I think this card has some pretty solid matches, both wargames were very good, the triple threat was solid, ciampa and thatcher was alright but the Lumis vs Grimes match was quite disappointing. 8.5/10"

[5.0] "Initially I didn't have any big problems with this match. It was a comedy spectacle and that's been a part of wrestling for a very long time. I took exception while watching Sami on the Stone Cold Sessions talking about it. He said, without a hint of irony or sarcasm, and even prefaced his statement with an apology by saying something to the effect of, "If you didn't love that match you're kind of stupid". Before that, I would've given this a 7 on pure entertainment. I didn't love it. Sorry, Sami, that doesn't make me stupid, it makes you pompous for assuming that kind of match should be everyone's preference."

[9.0] "Super slept on match in the history of ladder matches. Super fun match with everyone coming out looking great. Kalisto is the ballsiest man alive for the ladder spot him and Jey did."

[9.0] "Not the best wargames match but certainly a good one that would've benefitted from a live crowd. Very good. 8.5/10"

[6.0] "Can't believe I'm saying this about a NOAH junior heavyweight match in 2024, but this was enjoyable. Both Daga and YO-HEY aren't exactly my cup of tea, but they picked up big time in second half of this match, and got the crowd and commentary back into it. Props. 3 Stars."

[3.0] "I expect more from a main event involving the Triple Crown champ. Saito's inclusion in the main event scene has been baffling, as he his offense in generic, and he can't bump. His character is loved by the fans, but cheesy to me, so that doesn't help either. Yuma Anzai on the other hand isn't ready to carry the belt, but he is gaining confidence and growing into the role with each appearance. Unfortunately for him, Saito sucks, and there's nothing to work with. 1.75 Stars."

[6.0] "This was a pretty good pre-show. We opened with a decent Tag Team Gauntlet Match for the United States Tag Team Titles between The Country Gentlemen, Magnum Muscle, the NOW, the Fixers, Daisy Kill and Talos, TNT, the Spectaculars, SVGS, and Los Vipers. Silas Mason then continued his heel turn as he faced Dan Maff in a good match. M95 defended their Women;s World Tag Team Titles against the random team of Angelina Love and Max the Impaler in another good match. Finally, Kenzie Paige retained her Women's World Television Title against Ruthie Jay by disqualification in a match of the night performance."

[4.0] "Kylie Rae has been spotty in terms of competition for a variety of reasons, but she still looks in good shape. Miyu Yamashita is again refreshingly free-spirited when working overseas. Miming her opponent's signature gesture, choking her with a streamer. Things she wouldn't do domestically as the stoic symbol of strength in TJPW. Fine match overall, probably went too long for the content they gave, which wasn't much."

[3.0] "4 total matches on the main card, 4 hour show. Inexcusable. Especially when only one is worth the time, which was the women's Rumble match. Even that was marred with a lot of sloppy work from younger wrestlers they were trying to showcase. We won't be seeing Ivy Nile on the main roster anytime soon. The men's match was ok but was very, very predictable. The possibility of Punk winning did linger a little but there was just no way Cody wasn't winning. The other two title matches may as well have been on tv or the preshow because they were completely inconsequential. The Paul/Owen match being the more egregious with a horrible finish a la WCW in the late 90's."

[5.0] "Wow, for a early 80s TV match, this blew my expectations out of the water. Was it a must-see, no, but for the two men involved, in the era it was in and the time it was given, it was pretty good. Shame it ended in a DQ when it didn't need to (Sheik didn't even hit anyone with the chair) but a fun TV match between 2 legends."

[5.0] "I saw a comment on Instagram on a post about CM Punk that said, "Nothing could make me hate this man". Punk is clearly aware of this type of fan which is why he uses "Cult of Personality". There are a few things about CM Punk that I believe are irrefutable facts; He's a great talker, decent worker, and emotionally maladjusted. He has a pattern of behavior everywhere he has been. I've long thought that being great at promos is the single most important aspect of being a wrestler. It can carry you longer and to a status the person wouldn't have earned without it. Think of Roddy Piper, who also happens to be a major influence on Punk. If you're clumsy in the ring, which Punk is, it really doesn't matter because the fans are invested in what you're doing. That doesn't mean he never has a great match, but compared to a lot of his contemporaries he's pretty far behind. I still enjoy his work because his poor behavior isn't nearly as bad as others, but the fans that see him as infallible are concerning."

[6.0] "An excellent main event with a lot of hard hitting kicks (mostly from Kota Umeda and HARASHIMA), a nice build up on pace, and a good amount of comedy - mostly from MAO. It also did a good job building the Akito and Yuki Ueno feud with Akito working his knees every chance he got."

[] "Oh my god, this is hysterical. If you created a fictional parody of a terrible wrestling match, you couldn't possibly do a better job than this real-life match. And that pedigree at the end! LMAO"

[6.0] "This wasn't a bad match, this was actually decent but nothing overly exciting. Both did a fine job and traded some nice and powerful moves but it never went to the second gear or told something amazing, it stayed basic from bell to bell and the interference of Sumie Sakai was poorly done, she looked lost - ***"

[3.0] "This was bad and not worthy of being a championship championship, the booking didn't showcase both wrestlers abilities at all and it never looked like a competitive or important match, it was just extremely basic all along with Sumie Sakai dominating Billie Starkz with a boring heelwork and once Billie Starkz did her comeback, Sumie Sakai cut off her momentum by avoiding the Swanton Bomb and throwing the title on Billie Starkz and started to fake a belt shot which led to Billie Starkz being disqualified, the idea wasn't bad but it was botched because Starkz failed to catch the belt so she had pick it up and she looked stupid. This was nothing of a match, the most memorable thing was the after match - *3/4"

[6.0] "Any post 2000 PPV match that ends in a disqualification is going to draw some ire, but this had a finish that killed the buzz of a match that was finally starting to find its groove. The opening exchanges put over Batista's power whilst showing that Punk's kicks can chip down Big Dave. Batista was dull and uninteresting whilst working on top, but he does have some decent cut-off spots when Punk makes a comeback. The finishing stretch is where things start to get interesting, with Punk's roundhouses being enough to change the tide of the match. It all means nothing though, as Kane soon runs in to spoil the party."

[5.0] "This was a fine match but not really exciting and some parts were pretty boring, and there was some sloppy spots like when Ram Kaicho did a cartwheel and hit Viva Van. There was some pretty solid nearfalls at the end and it increased the quality of the match but it was a bit too late because the match was heatless - **3/4"

[5.0] "This wasn't really good despite having good wrestlers involved, this felt really long and other than some nice exchanges between Mina Shirakawa and Tam Nakano (though the comedy at the beginning was a bit cringe especially with the ass to ass contact), and Aja Kong going kawaii mode, the match had nothing to offer and other than the star power and a couple of good things here and there - **3/4"

[7.0] "A really strong second show. The openers were fine. The four man was slightly underwhelming with the guys involved. And Cody Derby didnt quite hit how I wanted. The final two matches were brilliant fast paced showcases. That chair shot is insane."

[6.0] "This was a good match featuring Mayu Iwatani and Konami who were obviously the stars of the match, their really intense exchange was the highlight of the bout, this was so cool to watch and both showed an excellent chemistry but they weren't the only good things of the match, Jada Stone and Maya World were good in their own right and they did a really nice performance here, Jada Stone showed impressive athletic abilities while Maya World was good as the underdog opposing Mayu Iwatani - ***1/4"

[5.0] "The matches themselves aren't terrible but Collision continues to be a bit of a bore. It's people wrestling at each other for two hours with another excessively long tag main event. There's some novelty in seeing AZM in AEW and I did think that was one of the better matches for Storm under her Timeless gimmick but there's no hook to these matches."

[5.0] "It was pretty cool to see AZM and Kyoko Inoue sharing the same ring, not something i thought i would see one day so this was a pretty fun experience and the comedy stuff between them was pretty funny but otherwise the match was easily forgettable, not bad just there. Never seen Dani Mo before and she was fine, her performance was solid all along - **3/4"

[8.0] "Great fast paced match and overall just really entertaining to watch. My favourite match on the card"

[3.0] "Meh Match worse match of the show. Literally dont remember anything of this 3/10, 1 star, . didnt really need it"

[5.0] "It was nice to see decay, but I wish there was a weird story that they do so the champs don;t look bad. 5/10, 2 stars"

[9.0] "for me I love KUSHIDA, he looked good, but its fine if he didnt win. Sabin was a good Champion and the match was awesome with El Hijo. 7.25/10, 4.00 stars"

[8.0] "I love ABC Chris and Ace are one of my favorites in TNA. and this is a really good Tag Match. 8/10 4.00 stars"

[9.0] "one of my favorite Match. This was my first time seeing Alex Hammerstone, and I actually really liked this. 8/10, 4 stars"

[9.0] "My 2nd favorite Match of the night, knowing just a little that Trinity was leaving made it better, as she gave it her all. 8/10, 3.75"

[8.0] "I might be very STUPID, but I actually thought that Shelley was going to win. For me Moose was just there, but this match SLAPPED 4 stars"

[9.0] "Max's stage presence is best shown when thrown into the ring with an ostensibly weaker opponent. Max is a monster whose true weakness is their heart. Their tag runs in TJPW are some of their best work."

[6.0] "TNA has a lot of good talent right now but the weekly show does not feel the most exciting. This being Shelley and Sabins last show really brought it down for me. Ali/GYV/Hammerstone have been pleasant additions to the roster. Not very enticed at the idea of Nemeth winning the world title. Hopefully they can find some proper footing at Rebellion and following it."

[6.0] "The 2 match are pretty solid and could convince me to watch the show, the rest is just some filler, far from bad."

[5.0] "On one hand, this is a de facto number one contender match between two main eventers. On the other, it happened on such a small show because this was the usual Jake: absolutely average."

[6.0] "It's a shame that Sheik wasn't better in the ring because he looked like an absolute beast in this match and could have had a longer main event run then he did, rather then a random heel for Hogan to beat. I've always enjoyed Backlund and I think he should be remembered more then his is for being a good wrestler. These two mesh petty well with a hot crowd and a good story with Sheik working over Backlund's neck. The big downside of the match is it's just slow and long restholds which was the style of the time but doesn't age well today. It dose however have one of the important finishes in wrestling history. Overall, a match that should be watched for historical reasons."

[10.0] "I just rewatched this MASTERPIECE for the 3rd time and for a 3rd time I cried watching this match and this doesn't happen often for me watching wrestling but this was the greatest Main Event in Wrestlemania history, it is the perfect storyline to end the greatest title run of all time. This isn't just a match, it is CINEMA. The perfect mix between in-ring wrestling/storytelling and the spectacle that is Wrestlemania. Any of the marks giving this lower than a 9.0 don't enjoy wrestling unfortunatly but deep down we all know how good this was. *****"

[4.0] "These specials need to get away from the title match gimmick. Any title match with actual heat is going to be on a PPV or at least a big Dynamite. Battle of the Belts 90% of the time is thrown-together title matches and no story advancement since it's a special. You end up with an hour's worth of matches which are almost impossible to care about and nothing else. Only the main event came close to having something going for it but the crowd were dead for it (and were given no reason to care) and that made an already heatless match feel even more flat. We'd be better off having a few novelty/dream matches on these shows if everything is going to be thrown-together. The championship gimmick is holding this thing back."

[7.0] "A traditionnal Chikara match with the Ant, Gargano, Chucky-T, Quackenbush but with an extra bonus Manami Toyota, she is extremly protected only doing power moves against group or with Portia Petez jobbing hard for her."

[10.0] "Arisu has become my favorite wrestler in TJPW because she's humble, hardworking, stylish, kind, and a good team player. Her hair changes every two weeks and becomes a new work of art. You can't help but root for her. Truly one of the best babyfaces of babyfaces."

[6.0] "Mills and JJ deliver some good high flying action in this match, mixed with some good strikes. The stoppage at the ends was a good way to end the match."

[7.0] "An enjoyable farewell match for Sabin and Shelley from TNA. Considering how experienced these four are in teams, I dont think it hit the level that all four are capable of but this was still pretty good. Effective in putting over the main team on their way out. In this run, Shelley and Sabin have been two of the most consistent and high quality members of the roster in singles and in tag matches. I feel like their departure from TNA in ways is not looked at as impactful as it should be with the fact that they are two of roughly four active wrestlers that were at least there a lot in TNAs heyday (Kazarian and Eric Youmg being the other two, while names like Eddie Edwards/Josh Alexander/Jordynne Grace would have fit right in.) An unfortunate way for their run to end here but both should have bright futures ahead of them."

[5.0] "KANON continues to grow into one of the most enjoyable and promising wrestlers in DDT. I've taken a while to get an understanding of the character of Daisuke Sasaki, but when he brings a small sample of comedy into the character, which he does here, it really clicks for me."

[7.0] "Definitely not a gauntlet match to follow, but just format alone was still enogh to make it kinda interesting. I just didn't like that there was more emphasis on how Mirai's different rivals offered different fights rather than on her. Syuri and Kashima's emotions after the match were by far the best part of it. The fact that Mirai always defended Sakis presence in the group at all costs, and Kashima remembers this is simply heartwarming."

[7.0] "quite slow start. does not do justice to the capabilities of both teams. The ending was good and entertaining. In general it complied but it didn't feel epic. If it's the end of MCMG in TNA I will be sad. They will be greatly missed in the programming."
