[7.0] "Eine Gute TNA Episode aus der Full Sail University! Viele und vor allem gute Überraschungen hier bei dieser Ausgabe. Elijah, The Colons, Oba Femi. Das war wirklich eine gute Live Ausgabe von TNA Wrestling. Was aber hier definitiv zu kritisieren ist, ist das Match zwischen Lei Ying Lee und Rosemary. Mein Gott war dieses Match schlecht! Nach diesem Match bin Ich der Meinung, dass weder Rosemary, noch Lei Ying Lee in einen Wrestling Ring gehören. Ich hab mich echt extrem gewundert wie schlecht die beiden sind. Eigentlich sind beide Solide Wrestlerinnen, aber hier hat wirklich überhaupt nichts gestimmt. Das Match Of The Night war hier das No Disqualification Match zwischen JDC und Leon Slater. Das ist auch das einzige Match was definitiv zu empfehlen ist (***1/2). Der Swanton 450 Splash von Slater auf JDC durch einen Tisch ist hier definitiv der "Moment Of The Night" und bleibt auf jeden Fall im Kopf. Insgesamt gebe Ich der Show 7 Punkte. Die Matches hätten etwas besser sein können."

[8.0] "Fun episode! Loved the Rascalz vs. Tyriek&Tyson match, that whole storyline is a lot of fun, excited to see all six of them (w/ Ace and Wes Lee respectively) face off. Leon Slater is such a rising star, love that guy. First Class' segment was maybe a bit awkward but I do love them anyway and it's nice seeing AJ settle into the role more each episode. The Tessa thing continues to fit a little weirdly but it's nice seeing her get booed. New acquisitions Colons aren't my thing; Elijah is though, he's huge. Oba Femi is also insanely huge."

[8.0] "Very pleasant weekly to follow, a lot of things happened. I wasn't too keen on the Colons' debut despite the fact that they were a good team in WWE, but Elijah was a very good acquisition. I liked the promos for Fir$t Cla$$ (I like the whole influencer thing, there's something to it), Northern Armory and Tessa Blanchard, who's taking advantage of the natural heat she's getting to reinforce her status as a top heel. Slamovich/Tessa will be retained for Slammiversary. Oba Femi vs Moose if it's a title vs title would be great and I think advantage Oba. Seeing him on both programmes as champion would build him up even more as the head to bring down of the moment."

[7.0] "Tremendously good episode of Impact! It felt like a mini PPV. Definitely a much better show than their previous LIVE broadcast a month ago. 1) The opening segment set the tone for the rest of the night with the two returns of The Colons and Elijah. 2) The Mustafa Ali and Santana's little cinematic segment was VERY good. 3) The No Disqualification Match was one of the best televised No DQ matches in the modern era. It was simple and to the point, just like in the good old days of professional wrestling. 4) As if the episode needed more surprises, the NXT champion itself graced us with his presence. Yeah, looking back, the episode felt like a big deal, but it wasn't much of "a big deal" in terms of the in-ring performance. The only reason it felt that was because of all the returns / appearances. It's not surprising TNA decided to pack this one single episode with so many "OMG" moments - they won't go live for the next month, so any surprise had to happen LIVE last night, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise anymore for people who consume wrestling news media."

[7.0] "While it wasn't as strong as the last few weeks in the ring, this episode set up a lot of stuff for Sacrifice and the weeks leading to the special event. All the surprises were super cool, and the most important story circled The System, Slater & The Hardys. Now, adding Oba Femi to the mix for a while benefits the cross-over hugely, especially for the eventual high-profile match b/w Femi & Moose. Otherwise, the remaining stories met good progress except for the KO tag division (which was egregious for a long time) and the lame segment from First Class."

[4.0] "A show very light on in-ring action and reliant on rehashing WWE acts like Elijah and The Colons to get a bit of intrigue. The AJ Francis segment was a disaster, Tessa still has go-away heat (and her act makes no sense) and the NXT imports do nothing for my enjoyment of the programme. It's a soulless, dry product."

[7.0] "Richtig coole Ausgabe mit einigen guten Überraschungen. Schön mal Elijah wieder zu sehen, bei TNA ist er gut aufgehoben. The Colons können auch die Tag Team Scene verstärken. Matches waren eher durchschnittlich aber insgesamt eine tolle Show."

[6.0] "a show that was more interesting in the segments and what happened in construction in the future than what we saw in technique. Every week it is addictive which NXT star will appear. I hope they raise the level of the fights."

[8.0] "Good episode to start the next set of tapings, leading into the PLE in March. More long talking than normal and, while I enjoyed it overall, the First Class segment was a bit too long. Good wrestling and angles and some cool surprises."

[5.0] "A show that felt over-reliant on talking compared to in-ring action at times. The first hour only had about eight minutes of wrestling. Rascalz/Tyson & Tyriek was a match I hoped would get more time than it did. Lei Ying Lee/Rosemary was OK but not much. Leon Slater/JDC was solid with an underwhelming ending in a match I had hoped would get more time than it did after how enjoyable JDC was vs. Mike Santana was in their Texas Death Match. The main event was solid as well. They had a good and energized crowd for the first time there was a show with fans in Full Sail in almost five years. While not bad, I did feel they could have given them a bit more to sink their teeth into. 5.5"

[6.0] "Great kick off with joe hendry and elias concert, colons seem decent too. Leon slater is still abysmal when it comes to promos. I didnt care for the rascals against the bums from NXT. Flop Dolla and his jobber group with a cringeworthy but also kinda funny promo up next. Slater v JDC was surprinsingly decent until the system intervened costing him the win, give Slater a manager and maybe have him grow a beard to hide his ugly face and you've got something. Another beatdown follows, the Hardys then make the save, followed by the NXT champ Obafemi setting up a match against Moose, crowd was into it. Tessa comes out soaking in the boos from the crowd, eventually Masha comes out and she wrestles instead, I thought it was funny how this girl was waiting in the ring for minutes without being acknowledged till the match started. Cora Jade then pops up and beats up Masha while Tessa is laughing, they then have a little interaction.I've been hoping to see Cora and Tessa together for weeks, so this is a start at least. The segment with Spitfire and the elegances was fun too. Main event was enjoyable, Elias looks like a great signing. Overall a good episode, bonus point for the bums Callahan and Vance not being on it. Hopefully Tessa finally wrestles next week and Cora also gets involved with her."
