[5.0] "Bad Luck Fale's first , and if i'm not mistaken only , engaging singles performance. Okada makes this clunky mess of mass look like a capable, threatening fighter in a way that i think warrants more recognition than Fale does. [3]"

[6.0] "Probably one of if not the Ultimate Warriors best match of his career. Good storytelling although it felt a bit repetitive with Sherri distracting Warrior and Savage attacking him. I know Warrior is supposed to be some super strong thing from a different world but taking 6 elbows and kicking out and pinning Savage with a foot on the chest makes Savage look like a bit of a chump in my opinion"

[8.0] "Will admit my shameless bias here as Ranna has been a personal favourite of mine since her debut. However, the reason for that is that she wrestles an awesome style and does it really well. That corner kick she does is so cool. Plus, while she could probably stand to improve in terms of ring presence while actually wrestlingon offense, shes super charismatic and funny in the various pre-match bits that she does on house shows so I have faith that itll come."

[8.0] "The third match in their trilogy and while it obviously wasn't on the same level as their awesome Slammiversary match, that wasn't the point and it was a slower & calmer match, which isn't a bad thing, it was a different approach and I liked that. Daniels & Kazarian's heat was a bit long at times, I might have shortened the match by a few minutes but from Angle's hot tag until the end, it was great. The finish is flat and that's a shame, but otherwise good match."

[6.0] "An almost forgettable match, but it's absolutely better than the others the two performers had during the kick-offs of the PPVs in 2016. It works. Great ending thanks to AJ Styles. (6/10)"

[6.0] "As somebody who often hypes a lot of Luger's work as underrated, I was hoping to like this match more considering it has actually received some positive attention. Spivey controls most of the match, and he is fairly clunky, so this doesn't always go well (you'd have a tough time convincing me to take that Tombstone). His offence at least looks impactful enough that it works, but I thought he came across as pretty lacking in terms of presence and charisma, which made the lengthy heat segment less engaging than it could have been. I also really disliked the spot where Luger essentially 'Hulked Up' following a piledriver. I was close to going with a lower rating, but I liked the back-and-forth in the last few minutes and thought they did well selling the grueling nature of the match towards the end, so I'd say it edged out a 6.0."

[9.0] "One thing I love about a Sheamus match is you can tell how physical it is just by looking at his chest. Guy looked like a beetroot before this one even touched the halfway mark! This was super physical, and it elevated by the audience going absolutely ham for this. I was at the Sheamus/Gunther match in Cardiff and I didn't necessarily think that style translates to a stadium show as a lot of the audience can't comprehend the stiffness of the blows, but that didn't seem to be the case here. There's so many nearfalls that you could buy into here, but they never went into overkill. Gunther having to literally powerbomb his opponent onto the other one made for a great finish."

[4.0] "Similarly structured to the Gallows / Ibushi match we just saw , where the BC heel Karl Anderson wails on Naito for a bit and then just kinda slows things down until he loses. Naito is given the decency to at least win with his finishing move. [2.75]"

[8.0] "Really good TV match, although it took them a while to find their chemistry and click with the crowd ***3/4"

[7.0] "Very interesting tag title TV match right here, it was rare for TNA to give the tag team champions some time to have a really good solid title defense on television but that was the case here and obviously it was very enjoyable. Daniels & Kazarian could make a good match with anyone back then and Chavo & Hernandez responded to the challenge by performing well too. Rhythmic action and a hot crowd, it was very cool."

[6.0] "An acceptable match between two very good performers. Good ending when Orton and Wyatt kicks Ambrose's ass. (6/10)"

[5.0] "It's a forgettable match, but fortunatelly it's more watchable than the one they had had at SummerSlam in the same year. (5.5/10)"

[4.0] "Really not worth the hassle it was to find this. My illegal copy of the show cut out after the previous tournament match so is had to scramble to find the remaining matches. Gallows wails on 'Bush of a bit, then loses to flash roll-up. Gallows was looking good, albeit spamming that Throat Thrust a dozen times. [2.75]"

[10.0] "The only match I've seen from this ppv and I'm sad why I watched this match so late Will Ospreay and Mike Bailey are two of the best and most complete wrestlers I have ever seen This match had a very high speed and I definitely recommend you to watch it The fastest 5.25 star"

[7.0] "Another good one in the Hardy/Angle saga, I've already said several times that Kurt Angle was the one who got the best out of Jeff in the ring every time, and this was again the case in what was here an excellent TV match. They had over ten minutes and put everything they could into it - great moves, finishers, nearfalls, they literally couldn't have done better and it was very interesting. A good main event with high stakes and pretty relevant action."

[10.0] "I love this match. The 2001 MOTY and a match that I found out about in a wrestling magazine at the height of me exploring wrestling outside of the western world. Keiji Muto is my favorite wrestler of all time and this is my favorite match of his. Two aging masters in front of a legendary crowd in a battle between AJPW's past and AJPW's future. There is some powerful lore behind this masterpiece. Post AJPW exodus; Tenryu returns to the company after the death of Giant Baba to defend the triple crown against NJPW legend and reinvented version of Keiji Muto. I think at this point in Muto's career, he was truly the definition of getting better with age. Everything he did, every move had a purpose and I think you can really see that his explosiveness was rooted more in his mannerisms than it was in pure athleticism. Tenryu is like 50 and he's hitting avalanche frankensteiners and brainbusters. Muto wrestles an entirely new style with unique, precise offense; low dropkicks to the knees, dragon screw leg whips and the coolest move ever; the Shining Wizard."

[8.0] "There were some very good TV matches in those days during the Bound For Glory series, and of course one of the best of them all was the one between Styles & Daniels, whose their awesome chemistry was showcased in a superbly paced TV match. Daniels' heat was interesting, Styles' comebacks even more so, the crowd was super hot for them and the finish was very satisfying. Yeah, it's hard not to like something like that."

[5.0] "well-performed, but not memorable beyond the usual deliverances of moves that you can find in most of either man's matches. Yuji Nagata is a great worker, so is Goto, but together they gave me nothing stellar. [3]"

[6.0] "It's an awesome brawl while it lasts, but the short run time and disappointing double disqualification finish really holds it back from reaching it's full potential. The two beat the hell out of each other though, so it's definitely still a lot of fun to watch, just expect a match that's more of a teaser of what these two are capable of than anything else."

[8.0] "The usual dynamic of the long matches, long Bobby Roode main events like we used to have back in the day but personally I've always been a customer of it so I'm not going to complain, I found it a bit too far-fetched in terms of booking because TNA liked to complicate things too much for nothing but I find the whole thing very good. The match itself was excellent, with some great back-and-forth action, a crowd behind Aries and some overbooking that may have been a bit disturbing but in the end I thought it was a success. The fans were afraid that TNA would take the title away from Aries quickly and fortunately they didn't. So yeah - some terrific stuff in it with its dose of entertainment."

[9.0] "Fhgd djvd fgjfs dhgdf dhhfse dghhgg fivsdb mmww ppps oote djjs xixo xoxo pof lof kof kopo lopo choor.ar jofe jop catman poker shooter man batwoman nayter nayyer dige basse bia dardam dava kon. Kos naneh cagematch.harki az bahre omar kaf nazane javab nade."

[7.0] "Solid match to give a worthy send off to Shelley & Sabin, this was their last match in TNA before presumably debuting in All Elite Wrestling in the coming days and they pulled a good match out of the somewhat boring team that is The System. Don't get me wrong, they're four very good workers, but the match initially lacked a bit of energy, and MCMG were able to change that and get the crowd involved. We saw some good action, too bad for the not-so-clean ending. Thanks for everything, the Guns."

[8.0] "Saya and Natsupoi are two very athletically gifted wrestlers, but they also put a lot of energy and passion into things they do, and I feel that this match had a lot of that. The key spots were executed extremely well and the forearm exchange on the outside, right before they beat the count out, is the type of stuff I love to see. This match was at its best when they were speeding things up and havjng action packed exchanges, rather than when they tried to slow things down in favor of a more traditional main seent style, like they tried to do in the first half of the match. I also really enjoyed they how they ramped up the violence as the match went on, leading to some really sick bumps. Even to this day, I believe this is one of Saya's most EXCITING matches to watch"

[7.0] "Two big favs of mine, dishing out elbows and trading signature moves. It's not much but it gets cheering. [3.5]"

[5.0] "I didn't even realise this was a No DQ match until I was the stipulation listed on here - I enjoyed the match, though. It wasn't exactly the most exciting bout that you'll ever seen, but Taylor had some very solid, traditional heel work here, and it was nice to see some good looking punches. Ultimately it's pretty unmemorable stuff, but I thought it was at least well worked."

[5.0] "Start of this match was a bit weird and overall it was an okay match with some cool Giulia moves. I expected more and it was short too, still not a bad match."

[8.0] "This was a good match and the kind you don't see on mainstream wrestling anymore. The problem is they let Trevor leave without putting someone over. Maybe there was something contractually with WWE that said he couldn't be pinned, who knows. All I know is that vacating the belt and leaving was a terrible decision. If he was retiring then I get it. If Cain wasn't ready, he shouldn't have been in the match. Coulda woulda shoulda, right? This was still a stellar match with little down time given the length and some solid back and forth."

[3.0] "As a wrestler during the Kings of NXT story? He was actually not that bad as a complete novice! But as a commentator, which is his main job dear god, he sucks! The entire discourse over "googling" wrestlers who make surprise appearances doesn't make sense at first blush when you consider that, typically, a promotion's play-by-play announcer (in WWE's case, Michael Cole) will quickly give you a run-down, but then it makes more sense when you consider that typically, WWE's color commentators (e.g. Graves, Booker, JBL) have been so bad you want to mute the TV come 8pm, and Pat really is no exception."

[8.0] "As the "Carolina Caveman" on the indies he was one of the best wrestlers. I saw him have 60+, 70+, and 90 minute matches that somehow never got boring and were back and forth and exciting. A comment a little further down really nails it by saying they feel bad for anyone who only knows him from NXT. I'm sure he's making great money and probably happy but selfishly as a fan of his for a long time I expected a lot more. It's like Nakamura's run. I'm not saying he was going to main event Wrestlemania but by now some kind of US or IC title run."

[0.0] "I see nothing in him that a lot of fans do. You know what? That's ok. I'm allowed to not like him and others are allowed to love him. To me, he's a bottom card guy desperately trying to look like the big time. Especially with his weird, kayfabe or not, obsession with being passive aggressive on Twitter towards other entities. I don't understand it. He's also shockingly clumsy in the ring and doesn't appear to have good control over his body. His ring attire is also atrocious. You could say that's because he's a heel and it's for the heat(tm) but so was Ted Dibiase in the late 80's and his gear didn't look like he picked it up at a yard sale on the way to the arena."

[2.0] "Awful, awful team. Neither guy stands out with their ability or promos. Waller is ok but I don't think he's anywhere near as good I've heard before I started watching him. He also has really terrible gear. Not heel heat gear but I want to laugh at how silly he looks and not watch his matches. If Shawn Stasiak (Meat) and Val Venis were a tag team and won the titles, it would be just like this but Meat and Val were far more entertaining and would've mad it fun. These two just don't have it. I don't buy into the Grayson Waller hype. His head is comically square and it renders whatever he's saying as unimportant."

[2.0] "It's very bold to do a nostalgia run on a team that wasn't good to begin with. I don't really know what to say, they both do seem like great people outside of the ring but there's nothing they do, have done, or will ever do that makes me want to go out of my way to watch a match. It shows how little WWE continues to care about the tag team division. There were only two hey days and they were both in spite of Vince's decision making. The biggest moment for this team was the match with Cena and The Rock in 2011 and that had very little to do with them. It was all about furthering Cena and Rock's feud."

[1.0] "The 1 is for the matches he's been involved in because while none of them were good, he was really putting in a lot of effort and was enjoying himself and that should be respected. As a commentator he's on the list of all time worst not counting someone who was a one off or temporary replacement. The camera cuts to his dancing are obnoxious. I can only speak for myself but I don't watch wrestling to see announcers dancing. He also has a bad habit of talking during entrances when he clearly should be laying out for it. His whole persona comes across like a mid life crisis dad trying to impress teenagers."

[2.0] "He's not a total loss because he started with a gimmick that was destined to fail and a debut that was even worse than that. He changed things up 15 years ago and just...never changed anything again. There's been variations to his entrance attire and pose but he's largely done the same promo and same character for 15 years. He's also not very good athletically. Any match of his that's considered great is with someone who always has great matches. Someone could make a solid case for his title run in 2011 to be the nadir of that belt in the 21st century. He's also involved in the one of the worst main events in the history of Wrestlemania."

[6.0] "When he's motivated and decides to have a good match because he likes his opponent, he can be great. When he doesn't like the opponent, he's lazy. That's never going to put someone in the conversation for the greatest ever. It was fun seeing him perform from 2012-2015. Everything after that, save for a few matches, was pretty uneventful. Once suplex city became a thing that's all he did during his matches. Then he had two awful Wrestlemania main events with Roman although their first one in 2015 was really good. Brock is an attraction. That's it."

[9.0] "One of the greatest wrestlers ever! If he had any weakness it was his promos. He wasn't awful but he never really had a memorable one. That said, his timing and athleticism were world class and should be studied by any prospective wrestler worth their salt."

[7.0] "I don't blame Roode for signing with WWE when he did. He was 39 years old and likely felt it was now or never. TNA started getting better in 2018 after D'Amore and Callis took over and I wonder how Roode would've contributed. His NXT run was great but his main roster run wasn't. That was the standard for that era. NXT was light years ahead of the main roster and it was incredibly rare for the main ppv to be better than the Takeover the night before. Roode is very talented on the mic and in the ring and it's a shame the last few years of his career are forgettable."

[6.0] "To me, it wasn't any better or worse than most episodes of Dynamite. I think a lot of fans were expecting to either be trolled about the All In incident or were hoping it was more violent. It was dovetailed into the Bucks/FTR match so I didn't see much of an issue with it. The rest of the show was decent. Cope vs Penta being the MOTN."

[4.0] "If not for the main event and Drew's outstanding promo, this show would've been one of the worst of the year. If you're advertising your first hour as commercial free and 45 minutes of it is a promo and less than 5 is for a match, (not including entrances), it's intentionally misleading. It also speaks volumes about it when the WWE YouTube channel only uploaded the last 20 minutes, which were the only worthy part of that promo."

[6.0] "All of the matches were very short which is a bit of an issue. They're trying to fill less than an hour with as much content as possible but I'd prefer to see two 15 minute matches and one or two promos. The first and last matches were good but it feels like any other episode of Power instead of a special or ppv."

[5.0] "I think it might be time for me to stop watching NXT. I was watching and loving it from 2015-19 and since then I don't think the quality is anywhere near what it was consistently. This episode just didn't click for me. It wasn't bad but I wasn't invested in anyone."

[4.0] "Nothing stands out but nothing is truly awful. The consistent issue with this version of ROH is the champions aren't featured in some way every week. This is ROH Dark. They should be focusing on the rivalries and storylines and not random matches."

[6.0] "Good tag team match and main event. The opening segment with Hammerstone/Alexander/Dreamer was good. The contract signing was standard for pro wrestling but nothing bad or out of place."

[2.0] "I really enjoy the team of Smothers and Armstrong, but this was a slog. The Royal Family are extremely boring and had a lethargic showing here. Just look at what little effort Rip Morgan puts in to his headlock. Unnecessarily long (and felt even longer), and never seemed like it was gaining any momentum - just meandering, with constant low effort holds. Looked like they nearly broke Smothers' neck with that finish, too... An absolute chore to sit through."

[6.0] "I find the low ratings for this one quite baffling, but I'm a huge Jerry Lawler fan so my bias may be showing. This was short, to the the point and did everything that it needed to do. Although Tazz certainly deserved better than being a lower card heel that's feuding with a commentator, he excels as a despicable heel here. I wasn't sure if I liked Tazz no selling three consecutive piledrivers, but his face plant after trying to no sell the third one certainly made it worthwhile. Raven gets a huge reaction when he debuts. This didn't have the cathartic feel good feeling that their Summerslam match had, but this was a fun match that didn't outwear its welcome."

[7.0] "Great team match, wonderful chemistry and a sequence of spots as we like them in this kind of tag match. It's great to see GYV as team champion, and so well deserved given all the hard work they've put in over the years. Clearly a renaissance for them since their return to the indie circuit."

[8.0] "Santo vs Panther Greatest Hits on tour in Japan. This is truly great, this is not an exhibition match."

[5.0] "I liked this a little more than most people seemed to. It wasn't exceptional and Dustin was clearly green, but it was a pretty fun little match. It felt surprisingly physical in parts and Landel is good at this lower card heel role to help out the younger babyfaces on the roster. Nothing to write home about, but I enjoyed it and thought it worked well for what it was."

[10.0] "What a match the best match of the night macho man great heel work and great Selling I love the ending macho man one of the smartest wrestlers I ever seen tenyru is good to (****1/2) I wish had more time they had only 11 minutes if they had 20 I will give it a *****"

[7.0] "I love a good bloodbath and this was exactly that. Unfortunately the finish not landing as well as they hoped hurts this match as a package. I'm not against the blood stoppage finish in theory though. Lawler does a phenomenal job of feeding for Kerry's punches and clotheslines. Von Erich no selling a piledriver Hawk style would have been a moment that I could get behind if Von Erich got a big clean win, but it feels wasted here. Great Lawler performance and blade job, but the finish and Kerry's pedestrian performance holds this one back from getting to that next level."

[7.0] "This was a very nice change of pace for these old WCW shows. I was impressed by how the joshi ladies actually managed to get a decent reaction from the fairly indifferent crowd by the end - it was clear that the fans were at the very least impressed by some of their moves (many of which are pretty ordinary by today's standard, but stand out quite a lot when watching through early 90s WCW). They didn't have a lot of time to work, but this was a great effort for what they were given."

[3.0] "It feels like this guy is asleep during every segment and match he's in. He puts in zero effort and when he does he is just very bad. He's a complete nepotism hire since he's Roman Reigns' cousin or something, I hope the WWE stops pushing him. Every time he is on screen it makes me want to stop watching. Giving him a 3 is generous but he isn't an absolute DUD. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

[4.0] "Well-paced but outside of Honma's natural charisma i didn't take any of it in. The various Kokeshi attempts bit is such a crowd pleaser. [2.75]"

[10.0] "What can you say other than this is the best card of all time. Only a handful of matches ever truly deserve a 10/10 rating, and this card has two in KENTA/Kanemaru and Misawa/Kawada, as well as another which comes damn close in Kobashi/Sasaki. While the undercard isn't spectacular it's still a fun watch, and by the time you reach the GHC Jr. Heavyweight bout the card is just incredible. The tag title bout is brilliant fun, the GHC Heavyweight match is underrated, Ogawa/Tenryu is good but not great and the final two bouts are brilliant, including one of the greatest matches of all time between Misawa and Kawada. In terms of workrate you've got KENTA vs Kanemaru for an absolutely perfect showcase of NOAH's Jr. division, for spectacle you've got Kobashi vs Sasaki in a big meaty battle, and for drama you've got the final match between Misawa and Kawada, a beautiful match worthy of ending the best card of all time."

[10.0] "Conventionally this match is not perfect, but in the context of this being Misawa and Kawada's nigh impossible final bout, it might be the best wrestling can be as an art form. This was at the later stretch of Kawada's best run of his career in my opinion, and Misawa clearly still had something left to prove. They showed that although both men had spent the last 15 years being dropped on their necks, they could still outperform anyone else in the world on their best day. Every Gamengiri, every elbow, every brainbuster and power move lands with such elevated intensity considering the amount both men knew each other. I don't want to say too much else about this because it's worth watching fresh to really enjoy the work both men put their all into. It's sloppy at time and you could argue it goes too long, but I think that just adds to the story on display and creates a meta-narrative of two veterans showing the world the magic which can only be achieved when Misawa and Kawada face off in the ring. While in my mind Kawada should've won here to cap off their story, it's hard to criticise what both men put on display. Go and watch this now, you will not regret it."

[2.0] "Did not except a fun matchup, considering both of these lads are as fun as watching a plant wither. Yujiro's finish was sick though. [2.25]"

[7.0] "This would have been a much better choice for the opening match. Two very sound wrestlers with great fundamentals, a classic babyface and a classic heel - this was bound to be solid at the very least. I can imagine some fans finding this to be a little dry, but sometimes it can be nice to get back to basics and enjoy a match that embraces simplicity and highlights pro wrestling in its purest form."

[8.0] "This is a throwback to those 80's lucha title matches. I liked that match more than their previous match as it was more clean wrestling here."

[6.0] "A very good opening fight. Jacobs is as good as ever technically in the ring, and he brought a lot of drama with Mills, not to mention the stipulation, which naturally gave him some. After all, the result was a little predictable, as we're in a very classic booking with an underdog in the company."

[1.0] "Blake Christian is everything bad about modern professional wrestling, and next to none of the good. A heartless, soulless move machine who gets his biggest praise for simply being Will Ospreay if Ospreay couldn't talk, showed zero emotion, couldn't sell convincingly, and was ginger. And that's coming from someone who loathes Ospreay and everything he stands for. Blake Christian, for all his faults, shows no signs of improving. He does this one series of rolls and flips into a basement dropkick on an opponent that's on hands and knees. Genuinely, I don't think he's ever connected with the kick at the end, and he won't stop doing the move."

[8.0] "Feels like i come away from Shinsuke title matches with little to say, but i really just don't want to come to the text box and say "his theatricality is stunning" every single time. Yuji's striking was really something else in this match, from his slightly delayed additions to strike exchanges to his one rancidly painful slap to a grounded Shinsuke, he was incredible here. [3.75]"

[10.0] "The clash between Roman Reigns and The Rock against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL was a spectacle that embodied the essence of sports entertainment. It was a match that brought together legends of different eras, creating a narrative rich in history and significance. Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief, stood alongside his cousin, The Rock, forming a powerhouse duo that represented both dominance and legacy. Their combined presence in the ring exuded charisma and raw power, captivating the audience from the moment they made their entrance. Opposite them stood Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, two formidable competitors in their own right. Rhodes, carrying the legacy of his family name, brought an element of tradition and honor to the match, while Rollins, the Architect, brought his unparalleled athleticism and cunning strategy. As the bell rang, the anticipation reached a fever pitch. The chemistry between Reigns and The Rock was undeniable, their teamwork seamless as they executed a series of high-impact moves with precision. Rhodes and Rollins, however, proved to be worthy adversaries, countering each onslaught with resilience and determination. The ebb and flow of the match kept the audience on the edge of their seats, with each near fall eliciting thunderous cheers and gasps of disbelief. The momentum shifted back and forth, showcasing the athleticism and skill of all four competitors. In the climax of the bout, it was Reigns and The Rock who emerged victorious, their bond as family and as competitors proving to be an unstoppable force. As they celebrated their triumph in the center of the ring, the crowd erupted in applause, recognizing the epic encounter they had just witnessed. The match between Roman Reigns and The Rock versus Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL will be remembered as a defining moment in sports entertainment history. It showcased the perfect blend of athleticism, storytelling, and star power, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of professional wrestling way"

[9.0] "I mean yeah, this was amazing, what else would you expect from Sasaki and Kobashi. At a few points it felt very repetitive to me, including the 5 minute chop battle that went far too long for my tastes, but it did seem to be exactly what the crowd wanted, they were absolutely feral throughout. I wouldn't say this was the best bout on the card, but that's an exceptionally high bar and this was still one of the most influential and incredible matchups of all time. It was hard hitting and pretty relentless, and while it didn't always click for me it's still 100% worth going out of your way to watch."

[7.0] "There was a phenomenal amount of chemistry on display in this match, with all six participants making excellent contributions. For a guy who hasn't wrestled a huge amount in the last few years, Tomomitsu Matsunaga makes for a really good underdog."

[3.0] "JYD and Hughes opened the match with a really poor looking exchange. Things improved when Morton and Rich were in the ring, but even then the match was pretty basic and uninteresting. Morton did what he could to make this work as the face-in-peril, but the heel team seemed to have nothing going for them and brought nothing to the table other than Hughes being large...? The finish was very flat and strange, too. Boring, heatless match, and a very dull way to open a PPV."

[8.0] "Ishii's specialty is hard-hitting, Honma's specialty is also hard-hitting. It clicked instantly. Honma's sympathetic edge came into play a lot in this one, so did Ishii's tactless and roughhouse approach compliment that and send the crowd into hysterics every time Honma gave a 2.999 kickout. [4]"

[7.0] "Really solid match, was expecting worse but these two had pretty good chemistry in the ring, liked it. 7/10"

[7.0] "Not a bad match, Priest kind of had to carry most of it and got the reward of eating the pin! 6.5/10"

[8.0] "The match didn't excel in the ring but in its innovative use of the Spring Break festive setting, transitioning the action from the party atmosphere directly to the seaside. Sting and Luger fought their way to the beach and ultimately battled among the waves, creating a uniquely entertaining and memorable brawl that felt genuinely fun and spontaneous. This underappreciated moment capitalized on its unique environment, delivering a creative and exhilarating wrestling experience that set it apart from typical wrestling fare."

[2.0] "it might not have been a great idea to go through the back catalogue of BULLET CLUB matches where three of my least favourite members of BULLET CLUB are likely to be in a LOT of their matches. Action was so so so dull, the finishing 60 seconds with the babyfaces hitting their moves woke up up at least. [2.25]"

[6.0] "Ogawa does an excellent job selling here for an older Tenryu, I don't like to admit it but really this comes across as Ogawa carrying a competitor who can't really go anymore to a good but not great matchup. Tenryu would continue on for another 10 years shockingly but watching this you can already tell he's no longer the man he was 10 years previously, he looks a bit lost at points and it's a bit hard to watch honestly. This was too slow to be a great 10 minute match, but it obviously couldn't have gone much further as a singles match. Tenryu ends up hitting a very harsh lariat which hit a bit too hard, followed by a brutal brainbuster and another lariat to get the win, but weirdly Ogawa didn't really feel in peril in the closing stretch. I couldn't tell if Ogawa was actually selling at the end but I think he might've just been concussed from that first big lariat. Again this was a fun enough bout and it's always nice to see Tenryu and Ogawa get decent spots on a card, but it wasn't anything particularly special and on a different show with a different crowd would've probably felt more flat. It's definitely worth seeing if you're watching through the card and it does separate the first big 3 matches from the final 2 quite well."

[6.0] "This Nitro offers a unique blend of WCW's signature chaos and entertainment. With a Spring Break theme, the show delivered a festive atmosphere that was engaging at times. The storyline developments, especially Sid's betrayal of Hogan, added some intrigue, although the episode was bogged down by frequent references to backstage politics with Russo and Bischoff. Standout moments included Diamond Dallas Page's promo and the Hogan vs. Wall match. Overall, a satisfactory episode, albeit not without its flaws."

[8.0] "Stan Stasiak was a very solid promo, watch 1971's 'Friday Night in the Coliseum' to see him do some great work selling the deadliness of the heart punch in Paul Boesch's territory. He also looked cool as f*ck with his sideburns and quasi greaser look coupled with the barrel chest and imposing heft of an old school wrestler."

[6.0] "Some really solid stuff here, the first and second fall gives both wrestlers moments to shine. The third fall is a mix of both falls and is really good as well. Not much else besides some really great spots and actually some really decent technical at the start, would have liked more of that in the second and third falls."

[3.0] "Serviceable and unremarkable tag match. Okada is golden in any situation, even ones with zero consequences. [2.5]"

[8.0] "With a better first fall, this would have been one of the best trios of 1993 - but the heat segment in the second and third fall with Satanico punishing Panther and Octagon was glorious, heated match."

[9.0] "That first fall was so much fun full of rudo schtick - good beatdown to get heat and Santo and Panther were great as a team - but this is a rudo lesson, they were tremendous !"

[4.0] "This made for a more technical match than the previous four on the card. Makoto Oishi kept Azul Dragon in a headlock for about half of it!"

[6.0] "A great disappointment for the last show before Dynasty. A great main event and a good promo for the return of Mox. But the show as a whole is very limited and lacking in quality. The dynamite content is really getting worse and worse. It's a good thing Ospreay and Okada keep things interesting, because even Moné's presence adds absolutely no value."

[7.0] "the team of Sakuraba and Yano sport opposing ends of minimalist styles. Sakuraba with his grappling and MMA-focused offence, Yano with his comedic meddling and low-road tactics. Ibushi and Naito's styles contrast greatly while still being able to meet their opponents at their strengths. Ibushi and Sakuraba engage in some fine mat work, Yano and Naito get a lot of mileage out of the exposed turnbuckle, i had a lot of fun with this match! [3.5]"

[7.0] "Solid six man tag team match. Koguma claims yet another victim, Hazuki and Mayu did really good and looked the best out of the six. I just wish there was more of Mayu vs Syuri on this match."

[7.0] "Very interesting match, my first foray into 1980s Lucha Libre. I enjoyed Atlantis' CRAZY dive in the last stretch of the match."

[5.0] "Followed up the premature ending to match one with another premature ending. This one had the benefit of more screaming Hisaya Imabayashi, a screaming To-y, a game Yukio Naya, and of course comedy gold from Kazuki Hirata. A quiet day for Soma Takao though."

[7.0] "This is stupid dumb trash and I love it. This is what defines the term sports entertainment to me. An over the top ridiculous storyline about a family imploding, drugging people, attempting murder, company warfare, its all so much and its so stupid and awesome. The action is not even wrestling, its just a fun extreme brawl, and Mick Foley being there actually elevated the match even more. Thank god Shane won by the way, hes easily the best of the McMahons."

[2.0] "Exceedingly boring work from Conway. Tenzan comes close to saving this dead-on-arrival traditional title match but comes up short in making it in any way memorable or entertaining. [2]"

[2.0] "Liger has the unenviable task of making shite wrestler Chase Owens look somewhat strong and capable. He does his best, which is you can ever ask from a veteran such as he, but it's a struggle to watch 7 minutes of this dude. [1.75]"

[3.0] "Your standard comical DDT opener, with Toru Owashi getting the win so early they restarted the match."

[9.0] "Edouard Carpentier was a tremendous athlete and demonstrated he could be a great grappler along with his unorthodox (for the time) offense. Gagne clicked well with him, and the first fall was the best part of the match with Carpentier catching his opponent off-guard several times, leading to a leaping backsplash which gave Carpentier the pinfall. The second fall saw Gagne using a more methodical offense to control Carpentier and slow the tempo, leading to Gagne eventually securing a sleeper hold. The third fall was the weakest stretch of the match, but they still wrestled quite well and the finish came when Carpentier was counted out of the ring. It wasn't as good compared to Gagne vs Thesz, but the work was still incredibly crisp and enough for me to immensely enjoy this. Another great match that should be treasured by anyone who calls themselves a wrestling fan. ****3/4"

[5.0] "I don't find the utility of this main event, probably with the only goal based on the pure entertainment (which is lacking, ironically). (5/10)"

[10.0] "I think this this objectively the greatest WWE match of all time, and may be the greatest match in wrestling history. I have a habit of not rewatching matches I rate 10 due to fear that they wont be as good as I remember, but my god this was somehow EVEN BETTER than I remember. Everything was perfectly aligned here. The aura, the crowd which was so hot that it killed the rest of the show, the fact that it saved WM25 from being one of the worst of all time, the big fight feel, the pacing, the action, its all PERFECT. Ill always prefer this to their rematch which is also phenomenal, but this match is special. I think if theres any match that should be shown to a non wrestling fan, its this one."

[5.0] "Decent high-density work from Ken and Matt Jackson specifically, then things turn up a gear with Time Splitters' doubleteams and Dorada's low-key evasion skills. Dorada hits a nasty Hiromu Bomb to Kenny, having him land into Nick Jackson and squashing them against the barricade, it was awesome. [3]"

[9.0] "My only gripe is that it could've been gone longer and I believe bayley and iyo sky has great chemistry and they could've done more. But I cannot complain much as this was still a great spectatle. Became a great Io fan with this match, that roseplant counter was unreal. Props to Bayley as well for great story telling, she sold her leg no matter what move she did"

[9.0] "Judging only the match itself and not the booking around it, I loved it! VENY proved to be a very versatile heel with brawling, high-flying and technical domination phases against a Mika Iwata that works really well as the underdog here. The end of the match felt a bit out of nowhere though. **** 1/4"

[8.0] "This was my first exposure to Oka, but her performance was amazing. She really connects with Sareee to bring this amazing match."

[5.0] "Considering the fact that this match lasts only 10 minutes with eight men involved, it's too much chaotic. (5/10)"

[7.0] "A good match between two phenomenal performers. Probably the only relevant match of the card of this Raw episode. (7/10)"

[8.0] "The definition of a hidden gem. I have heard nothing about this match before today and boy am I glad I watched it. The talent involved here is outrageous, and the pacing is perfect as the action NEVER stops happening. This is helped by the white hot crowd that made this match so much more hectic and energetic, then to top it all off the return of Kane as he just whoops everyones ass. This is a definitive Raw main event."

[2.0] "I mean, she was around for years and from what I saw, never really showed anything. She did eventually end up on the main roster but made zero impact and since being released by WWE, she has yet to wrestle again. Inadequate is the only viable score unfortunately."

[4.0] "Quite the fair showing for young boy Jay White. He meshed well with Fish in particular. Tiger Mask hit a 619, which i don't think ive ever seen him do. [2.75]"

[2.0] "A hard collection of botches and no sense moments. If you want to vomit, this match is adeguate for you. (2/10)"
