[2.0] "Beginning isn't bad, candido does a roll up at the beginning and then tries it again and the artist catches it into a bridging german. Punches to candido and then he's sent outside. Candido dives to the outside from the top rope and, well, i'm not sure what happens. He gets a chair after putting the artist on the entrance ramp. Gets back body dropped after going for something on the chair, kicks out of a pin attempt in the ring. Weird thing here where there's an arm drag into literally nothing and then we go for a pin. Weird. Artist is sent between the ropes to the outside and then vertical suplexes Candido over the ropes. Candido hits a low blow right in front of the ref, doesn't get DQ'd. gut wrench into a powerbomb. that looked rough. Artist goes for nothing off the second rope, then candido catches him and puts him back on the top rope? WHY? then he goes and misses a top rope rana, Prince goes for a roll up off the top rope? misses it, and yet still Candido falls down with him, kikc out. Back body drop by Artist. Poke to the eye by Candido. Artist goes for a top rope throw, Ref is distracted by Tammy on the outside, then the chair from earlier is swung by Tammy and she hits both the valet and the artist, Candido pins him. The bell rings but the ref says he didn't get it. So candido gets a piledriver and then heads to the top rope and hits a diving headbutt, THEN gets the pin. FUUUUCK that was awful! SO many fuck ups, so many mistimes, stupid ending, should've had a DQ, everyone looks awful in this, the post match angle was stupid, Tammy looks drunk, the ending is botched so poorly. This is like offensively bad wrestling. They get credit for the opening sequence having SOMETHING, but fuck this is painful!"

[5.0] "Not particularly groundbreaking stuff, but I was on my way to six before the false finish that served to do nothing but confuse & prolong the match slightly past it's welcome. A little concerning to see The Artist donning a radically loose shirt here, considering that the Droz incident had occurred but a year earlier."

[4.0] "Ein eher schwacher Opener. Viele unsaubere Aktionen, langsames Tempo und zum Schluss auch noch der falsche 3 Count. *3/4"

[2.0] "Prince gets a German suplex to start. Candido gets pitched to the floor and they brawl. Candido tries a tope but gets caught coming down. Back inside, Prince hits a goofy power bomb, but Candido blocks the jumping DDT. Candido tries a top rope rana but screws it up, then Prince comes off the top with a sunset flip attempt but barely makes contact with Candido and Chris ends up doing the work and it looks bad. Candido goes up again, but gets Samoan dropped off. Cat fight breaks out and Tammy tries hitting Paisley with a chair but smacks Prince by accident and Candido covers for what everyone thinks is three but the ref waves it off. Chris goes up top and a diving headbutt wins it for real. Blown spots and a goofy finish. Paisley strips Tammy and she's got on the most conservative set of undergarments you can think of and the idiots sell it like it's so risque. This was your typical lousy PPV opener of the Russo Era."

[3.0] "Poor opener, no idea why Candido was in the Cruiserweight division and the Artist was never any good."

[3.0] "This was so bad. Candido isn't a Cruiserweight, and Iaukea isn't a great wrestler, and they did not gel together at all. Iaukea mistimes some of his moves, and obviously struggles with some of them. Candido really oversold some of his bumps. The women have a quater-assed catfight and cause the resulting finish (minus the false finish)."

[5.0] "This was a passable match, certainly we've seen far worse from Iaukea. Candido's WCW run seemed so short you might blink and miss it, but he did solid work while he was there, as he pretty much always did."
