[9.0] "Like a lot of people who watched this, I'm not big on death matches. But the layers of storytelling and level of emotion, it took it well beyond anything I expected. SINGLES RECORD: El Desperado 2-0-2"

[9.0] "Très bon match ! Aigle Blanc a prouvé qu'il peut rivaliser avec une star internationale comme Nic Nemeth. Belle alchimie, enchaînements fluides et un public bien investi. Nemeth a super bien vendu, mettant Aigle vraiment en valeur. L'un des meilleurs matchs APC de l'année ! ****.5"

[8.0] "This match was really good and kinda surprised me to be honest. I've never been a big Kosei Fujita guy and I don't believe I've even seen YOH before this tournament. These guys showed that they are in fact capable of having a great match but I'd be lying if I said this didn't all the way click with me. I like YOH, he has this shitbag aura about him kind like a Mao but less likeable for whatever reason. Outside of his character he does display in ring talent but his moveset feels a tad stale at times and almost too referential to better performers. He can hit the moves with intensity but I'm constantly reminded of other wrestlers instead of investing in him. Fujita was able to showcase a lot more pace and emotion in this than I've seen in other matches but he seems to be lacking that x factor for me and his chops need a lot of work. Overall the match was a great back of forth with an excellently sequenced finish but I could've done without YOH absorbing all those chops and running off the ropes to imply more impact. It was just a goofy spot that added nothing to the match"

[7.0] "Match solide, bien mené. Fenech Jr. a un vrai charisme et Josh T bump comme un fou. Pas volé son spot sur la carte."

[6.0] "This was a fine match that got hurt by the over booked ending. No one is expecting Cena and Punk to put on the same quality of matches that they had in their prime, however, this still could've been better. It wasn't a bad main event, but when you're promoting John Cena vs CM Punk for the last time ever, people expect it to be something memorable, something they can go back and rewatch. This wasn't it. 3.25*"

[8.0] "Match super rythmé ! JGU trop sous-cotée, Rhio ultra solide, et Céline continue de step up à chaque show. Grosse énergie, ça a bien fait pop la foule"

[5.0] "Although this wasn't bad, it could've been a lot better in my opinion. The biggest problem I have with the match is the introduction of the new member of Solo's bloodline. This exact formula has been done so many times already! Do something different! We've seen the same finish a dozen times already. The match itself was pretty average, Fatu shined as he always does but it felt more like a TV match than a PLE match. Overall, not bad, but not great either. 2.75*"

[6.0] "This was another solid match from Night of Champions. It's a shame that we barely get to see Karrion Kross be involved in anything important. The guy has it and he's hardly ever showcased. Both guys did a good job. 3.5*"

[8.0] "This was my favorite one on one match from Randy Orton since his return in 2023. Knowing the history these two had to together, I had high expectations, and sure enough they delivered. In the beginning of the match Orton hurts his back, they did a great job of implementing that factor throughout the match. It was an entertaining match, with some great back and forth sequences and a creative finish. The crowd was hot from start to finish as well. One of the best matches of the year so far, hopefully not the last time we see these two on opposing sides in the ring. 4.25*"

[7.0] "A tale of two parts. The first 8 minutes i thought were very odd and somewhat clunky as tang tried to work in a borderline comedic way while lindaman is usually a very strictly serious wrestler. but once they hit the next gear it was pretty great."

[8.0] "Damn, as a day 1 AEW fan, this feels special, 300 Dynamites and they're still delivering, even more sometimes. To be honest I expected this show to be a little bit better because I didn't really liked the execution of the promo opener, I like the story, I like the fact we're going Texas Death 2 but something was off from the moment it started to get physical to the Buckshot Lariat on Marina, like the fact she stood in the ring for so long, the Opps involvement didn't felt important ect.. Also the 4 way was good but a bit to much all over the place with some missed spots, Bowens is getting better but MJF was the... MVP (lol) then after the match the segment with JetSpeed and the beatdown they took from Hurt Syndicate didn't moved me, I don't like this storyline. The rest of the show was fire, the trios "Villains vs Heroes" was clearly the MOTN with Young Bucks proving again that they're the best in multi man tag matches, however let's not forget how fuckin cool Bandido and Takeshita were in this one, spectacular stuff! Mercedes Moné vs Mina Shirakawa was better than their Tokyo Dome match, Mina is made for weekly TV. Obvious lil' banger in the tag Ospreay & Swerve vs Mortos & Dralistico (who's improved this year) but the interesting stuff was after in the segment where they put something interesting on the line for the match against Bucks at All In, no world title shot for 1 year. Now I can really say that Ibushi is truly BACK, that main event against Okada was awesome and Omega returning to save his Golden Lover after the match to a huge pop! Great build for All In!"

[] "Started this match the same way I do with all raw tag matches, on my phone every looking up every now and then. But as this went on I became more and more locked in on the match, and it ended up being quite good. Capped off with the shock title change. (7)"

[5.0] "Scott slipping off the side of the ring to start the match was pretty funny. No one, including myself, would dare laugh in front of Scott though as you can see from the ringside fans. A couple tried to cover their faces but most were too scared of Scott's perceived (as well as real) reputation for being a loose cannon to react as they would to most anyone else. On that note, this match is an unfortunate example for how the filter the WWE always had on their cameras did not do a wrestler like Steiner the justice he deserved. When he was in WCW, you could see how insanely ripped he was physically & how intimidating he could be in real life. The WWE filter really takes away from that & makes him seem more like just another guy. Despite that, playing babyface, & Test working the abusive boyfriend angle, he still looked pretty scary. Being the loose cannon that Scott is, I'm pretty sure he violated Stacy at the end of this match too. I suppose she could have been selling the bump from Test pushing her over, but it looked more like like she was in shock from Scott's fingers going where they should not have. Aside from ALL of that, the match was pretty much what we would expect & other than the initial slip, both guys executed their moves & played out the story well. We even get a clean finish as Test was the cause of his own demise when he wildly swung a chair into the rope that ricocheted back into his head. Scott then dropped him for the 1-2-3. With the pin, Scott also won on the final score card 4.59 - 4.21."

[8.0] "A PPV level match on live tv. Two of the best workers and it was good to see Ibushi finally back in the ring. Okada kept targeting the formerly injured neck of Ibushi throughout the match. The match wasn't super long and these guys could've kept going and given us more. This only gets me more hyped to see Omega and Okada clash at All In next weekend. Hopefully Kota Ibushi can stay healthy because when he is, he is one of the best in the world. Kenny Omega coming out for the save at the end was cool and a great way to end the show."

[] "What a way to celebrate an historic milestone... Easily one of the best Dynamites of the year. All the matches delivered big time and the main storylines couldn't be any hotter. The show kicked off with a very good angle between Moxley and Hangman; can't wait for their Texas Death. Hangman buckshotting Marina was SO satisfying. Mercedes vs. Mina was a great opening match; them ladies were fighting, good stuff. The four way match was good, some spots felt rushed but it was really entertaining. The post-match angle with JetSpeed is the only flaw in this episode: not a bad angle by any means, but it's the exact same angle they did with Hangman at the start of the show with Hurt Syndicate destroying JetSpeed and JetSpeed getting back up. Bucks/Takeshita vs. Bandido/Paragon was awesome, a prime PWG-style trios match. The stipulation for Bucks vs. Ospreay/Swerve is actually a very compelling one and makes the match really unpredictable. Swerve/Ospreay vs. LFI was solid. Okada vs. Ibushi isn't as good as some of their most memorable clashes, but it was still a fantastic match. One of the best TV main events of the all year; Ibushi has come back in excellent shape and when Okada locks in, he's fucking amazing. Omega coming back to close the show was just the icing on the cake. 10/10 show, flawless. Two hours that flew by. I love this company."

[8.0] "Let's eschew beating around the bush and dive straight into the pussy spot. Here's the thing, you fucking idiots, it was SUPPOSED to piss you off. Didja notice how disgusted commentary was? Couldja hear the crowd boo in a single voice? Then could you hear them chant for Suzu? And oh, did you notice that it directly lead to Suzu turning the tide of the match and- to a huge roar from the crowd- immediately punishing the gross freak by stapling his junk four or five times? So take your phony narcissistic outrage and shove it up the orifice of your choice, and do it sideways. As for the match in total, this was better than it had any right to be and shows you how damned good Suzuki Suzu is (let's be honest, are you really going to credit some New Japan sock puppet for a quality match? ) It started really stupid, like it was going to be some McMahonian farce, but once it got rolling it wasn't just a solid hardcore match, it was an engaging back and forth, legit contest that left you unsure of the result to the very end. And oh by the way, I wonder what you attention starved faux-outraged losers would think if you learned the pussy spot was the WOMAN'S idea? I have no idea if it was or not, by OH-EM-GEE, your little heads would just explode, wouldn't they? And by the by-er way, is a routine bodyslam "sexual assault, " too? Ever notice where they're grabbing?"

[] "What a match and what a comeback for Ibushi, he is such a wonderful wrestler NGL, the selling, the moves, I miss him so much, a sold 9/10 for this match and I wish he continues participating in the shows, such a joker IMO, I saw a better Okada than usual, Ibushi made him look so good with that selling, and the Tigerdriver over the top rope, the strongest spot in the match hands down, I really enjoyed watching them, and I wish they continue offer our eyes joy."

[] "Bandido is the best wrestler in the world currently, I wholeheartedly believe this and his performance here continues to show why. Takeshita is awesome here. The Bucks are fully back after the slight disappointing 2024. Paragon rule. Phenomenal match where all 6 guys shined. One of if not the best all star tag of the year. (9)"

[4.0] "Godammit man I really wanted to fucking love this. The first stretch of this match was technically solid... but I saw the problem immediately. Cena has been booked into a corner where we know there's no chance of a match ending until some shenanigans start to take place, so when Cena hit his first attitude adjustment, my first thought was "man, these finishers genuinely mean nothing until interference happens", and it took me right out of being locked into the match. The entire opening portion felt exactly like what we praised their classic matches for, but it lacked all the heart, all the urgency, all the reasons to care. This was a soulless recreation of the great Cena v Punk matches of old that devolved into a fuckfest that would make 1998 Eric Bischoff blush."

[8.0] "Kota is back y'all! Even in under the span of 15 minutes, Okada & Ibushi prove that their last match was under the most unfortunate of circumstances, and they had plenty of fuel left in that tank. Ibushi didn't need to wow us with any of his vintage aerodynamics. Ibushi has been more of a monolithic striker, and it paired well with the hybrid striking and brute power that Okads utilizes in his matches. Both wrestlers catered their AEW styles to fit a narrative of a NJPW match. At times, it felt like I was watching a match from the G1 Climax. Excited for more Ibushi in AEW, as wrestling is better when he's active. ****1/4"

[5.0] "This was a rough match with parts of it that I enjoy. Jade Cargill is much improved from her TBS champion days, but she's still mighty green in terms of big matches, and this whole performance was somewhat off for her. Asuka seemed good here, I actually thought she and Jade played off each-other very well, but there was some undeniable sloppiness from Jade that definitely took this match down a bit, the finish was quite unfortunate."

[4.0] "I was really hoping Sami could pull a Finn Balor and get a match out of Kross that I somewhat enjoy, but that sadly did not happen. I thought this match was very slow and plodding, Sami had some fun babyface fire throughout the match, but Kross' method of getting heat is completely uninspired and just not engaging to watch. Kross takes over decently early into this match, and because of that the match goes at his desired pace, which is just mind numbingly slow and draggy. If it wasn't for Sami being exciting in a few points throughout this match, the score would be much lower than it is."

[3.0] "I am just completely over Bloodline style matches I think. There was so much walking and talking here, lots of spelling the drama out to me very blatantly instead of telling a story with the action. Can't say there was anything in this match that excited me or ever got me engaged, though I'll admit the outcome was unexpected, I thought the finish itself was overbooked and lame, which has sadly been a running theme with the Bloodline since they chose to kept it going after Mania 40."

[7.0] "This was a surprisingly fun match. I have not been a fan of any of the work Raquel and Rhea have done together on the main roster, and I was expecting to very much feel the same about this, but they definitely made me eat some crow. This was a super physical match, with both women being able to showcase their powerhouse abilities in lots of fun ways. The action was back and forth and well paced, can't really say there was a dull moment, always something there to be engaged with. I don't think it was a particularly special match, this very well could've been on RAW, but it would be a standout on TV, and for a filler PPV like this I think it did its job quite nicely."

[7.0] "really liked this match a lot, huge vibes from the insane crowd on this one, and both guys just did a really solid job. Cody was working heel for this one since Randy is absolutely beloved in Saudi as a legend, and that was really fun to see. There was some nice aggression between both guys as the story was clearly 2 friends who wish they were in another situation, but want to do whatever it takes in order to gain this victory. Orton's selling was fantastic throughout this match, telling a really engaging story with his surgically repaired back that lasted through the entire match. I thought the finish was a bit abrupt, but it still got a big reaction and it wasn't too big of a deal at the end of the day, but it is keeping this match at a 7 for me rather than an 8."

[] "1) Finally, FTR segment that didn't bore me to death. There definitely is some kind of chemistry between them and Outrunners when they are on opposite sides. I didn't like their program when they were friends, but as enemies they are money. 2) The boys from Don Callis Family and Paragon members owned the show. First, tremendous bout between Adam Cole and the Walking Weapon, then the face off between two Kyles of AEW in the main event. 3) Speaking of the main event, after many weeks of rather lackluster Collision closing matches, AEW finally decided to stop playing around and close the show on a high note. At first, I didn't even realize we were looking at two Kyles in that matchup, but the auidence made sure to let me know pretty fast. I think, it was the most fun a wrestling crowd had in ages."

[] "(10.0) Mercedes & Mina killed it tonight, this was much better than their Tokyo Dome match. Crowd was hot from the start with 50/50 chants & Mercedes did a great job with her heel work getting the crowd to fully invest into Mina. Between the way the match was going plus seeing confetti flying & I really thought Mina would actually win but it was a great fakeout. The story of Mercedes & Toni both winning via rollups is interesting & sets the tone on who will outsmart who. Great match"

[9.0] "I just saw that this match only went 11:53, and I'm in shock. This felt like a 15- or 16-minute bout, not because it dragged, but because so many incredible spots were jam-packed into it that there is no way they took up less than 12 minutes. It had all the tropes of a classic Young Bucks layout, featuring constant action, brilliantly conceived transitions, and everyone coming out of it looking better than before. Takeshita and Bandido were fantastic together, and their future title bout will surely be a must-watch. ****1/2"

[6.0] "A highly overrated one match show let's get that right. The opening college rules match was more boring than not and not that good. Both Tag Team title matches were decent but definitely overrated, both contains high impact high action and were good but not great. The six man Tag was nothing. The main event is what everybody is here to see, a young Sting delivers a terrific match and the time limit draw works and I am a fan"

[0.0] "I just can't say anything and atbhow childish the WWF audience was back there (it's understandable because It was more focused on kids) but again, the match was horrendous, and there's nothing to say. 0/10 [DUD]"

[7.0] "This match started off poorly but started getting great toward the end. Mina was particularly sloppy up until the final few minutes, but her fire-ups and stiff strikes rocked during those final minutes. Mercedes consistently bumped her ass off the entire match and generally was super precise in everything she did. I would have loved for this match to go a few minutes longer without the flash pin finish, given that they really seemed to find their rhythm together toward the end. Overall, their WK match did more for me, but this was still fairly entertaining. ***1/2"

[8.0] "Great match. I gotta say, I was very nervous about this match. I so desperately wanted Okada to lock in and, more than anything, really wanted Ibushi to not be washed. I'm pretty sure I got what I wanted. The match started out slow, but picked up and became very exciting near the end with an appearance from Murder Ibushi and a really sick top rope driver. This was the best Ibushi has looked since his injury four years ago. He really looked in great shape. I totally get the high 10 ratings, but me personally, I can't go that high. I still loved this match. (****1/4)"

[10.0] "Holy shit that was great! .This is my first time watching a full mike Bailey match and boy im already becoming a fan of his his high flying skills and his moves are just really incredible and Okada obviously doing great showing why he is one of the best wrestlers in the world he made Speedball look so good in. This the best match of this PPV so far."

[5.0] "this was an all right match there were some good spots and moves by all the men especially from Sammy and Sheldon, and man that spear bobby did was awesome.but besides that it was nothing special but im enjoying MJF in the hurt syndicate so far he is so great man."

[8.0] "this was a very fun brutal match it could have been better but it was still awesome! and man Mark bleeding like that man that was crazy! ."

[] "This was a nice street fight match. Pretty entertaining throughout, but I thought the interference from Perez was unnecessary. I couldn't help but notice the table over the turnbuckle in the final spot had one side's legs down, and the other up. Maybe they intended it that way, but it seems unbalanced. I legit wondered what was going to happen there and couldn't help but notice Charles Robinson having to steady one side. At least it ended safely. It was probably hot and uncomfortable in those full bodysuits. Rhea's designers managed to make hers look like a latex bondage suit despite the Saudi decency standards. I was surprised at the crowd's profane chants. Typical wrestling fare "holy s--t, f--- John Cena, " but probably not typical for Riyadh. It was a much hotter crowd with much less milling around than we usually see at the Saudi shows."

[6.0] "The match was great, this felt like the real wrestling outside the cartoons of the WWF, which worked great here and it's my favorite match of the show and maybe it's the best of the show, a great level out of WWF cartoons of the time, but only thing is that the crowd almost didn't react and that cuts the hype of it, you can even see people leaving and going for food and then returning, so that's a low. 6/10 [***3/4]"

[] "[10.0] This is one of the better paced matches of all time. The match is only 19 minutes but it feels longer in a good way.the ending sequence is unbelievable"

[] "great match one of the best 10 minute matches ever Takayama looked like a beast, KENTA looked great as well"

[] "A nice classic psychological wrestling match without 10 backflips a minute. Orton and Cody are good in ring workers and Orton did a great job selling the hurt back. I was really surprised how much the Saudi crowd seemed to prefer Randy over Cody. It's interesting how they set up Orton hesitating to hurt Cody and Cody not hesitating to do the same. I'm not sure where Cody played dirty or whatever, but Cole said it like they intentionally put it out there. Foreshadowing a Cody heel turn? Cody gets the belt back from Cena at SummerSlam by turning heel. Cena turns face and gets the belt back from Cody by the end of the year. Once again a face, he gives the belt up instead of retiring with it, thereby returning to his "hustle, loyalty, respect" motto. Just a thought."

[5.0] "Another average bout in this tournament. The match had some lariat attempts and then suddenly powerslam ended the match abruptly. I think few more minutes, this match could have been better."

[5.0] "Barbarian overpowered shinya early with shinya switching to target barbarian's leg. But the match lacked stiff strikes and bombs that these two capable of. It turned out to be just solid **1/2 match."

[10.0] "One of the best promos in Paul Heyman's entire career. The choice is vast but this is definitely among the top."

[10.0] "Drew McIntyre was completely silenced by Roman Reigns here. To think that people still believe Roman improved on the mic only thanks to Heyman. He simply needed to improvise and masterpieces like this were just around the corner."

[10.0] "Another beautiful segment of a perfect feud. There are no flaws, only admiration for three performers, each better than the other. I loved their interactions from the start, and thanks to their extraordinary story and match, they saved Wrestlemania 41 from mediocrity."

[10.0] "But how is it possible that a promo so spectacular both technically and visually has such a low rating? It is easily the highest quality product of all WWE in 2024, where finally Cody and Roman find an agreement and a common ground for the first time in their lives, with Roman needing to regain the Ula Fala and Cody needing to prove to Roman that now WWE is his and will be for the coming years. Finally face to face but with a goal nonetheless: to destroy Solo Sikoa's new Bloodline. The match he brought was nothing special, but the essence of these characters is all in this segment."

[6.0] "Enjoyable show with some sloppiness (Flip Gordon woof) amongst the good work. The last three matches are worth seeking out."

[4.0] "There's a smell coming from the rasslin' refrigerator, I wonder what it--oh. Looks like some meat went bad. Yup, two guys who aren't just past their prime, they're past their expiration date have been slopped onto our cafeteria tray and we're force to take a nibble. Some brief background: CM Punk is the gag gift that keeps on getting regifted, one of the biggest continuing scams in wrestling history, whilst Kojima is a guy who wasn't even that great at his pinnacle, but certainly better than the Jack-(that is, Phil)-in-a-box that keeps popping up giggling on his little spring. What these two dangerously obsolete recalled cans of chow brought in this match was nothing more than a tepid, torpid television match- and maybe a little less. Two guys who can't do much more than go through motions, going through motions. I suppose it'd be fine on a New Japan undercard in Ibaraki or free AEW television, but on what's allegedly a major PPV? Nope. Broken down, overrated or not you gotta at least TRY for more than this, guys."

[] "Thanks to everyone that worked on getting these fixes in place. I can only imagine the mess you must deal with for this site, but this is such a great resource for fans. Appreciate all that you do for cagematch."

[9.0] "One of the best promos in the history of the NXT women's division. The betrayal was incredible, but with this promo, she surpassed it; truly amazing. It's a shame that Cora didn't break through in NXT, even though I am sure WWE will regret it, because they probably had the future of the division and the federation in front of them, but they wasted it."

[5.0] "This felt pretty average especially compared to the first two shows. Kiyomia-Jean was the standout and I still seem to enjoy Shaw's matches more than most. The main event was...fine, the scramble and multi tag felt kind of just there. I personally didn't need fifteen minutes of Bennett-Zayne either."

[5.0] "This match was more carried about the fact that the story and feud of brothers between Bret and Owen started here, both did it great on storytelling of Owen living under the figure of Bret, and the match itself was just good coming from Shawn, Bret, Owen and that's it, even though there were good moments. 5/10 [***1/4]"

[10.0] "One of the best promos in Paul Heyman's career, and this shows the caliber of the segment we have ahead. It has become a meme on TikTok, but every fiber of this speech is spectacular."

[8.0] "While a typical SenJo house show on the cards, this seemed more enjoyable than usual. I liked every match here, opening rookie bout is serviceable, comedy match got a couple of chuckles from me, Manami and Mizunami were great in their tag and the last two matches were great. Funny post main event stuff, Unagi comes out and is joined by Oka and everybody challenges everyone to every type of match. Short fuse Iwata. Iroha tried really hard to avoid Sayaka."

[7.0] "Good ppv , the best match is for me the triple threat of grinco loco , griff and tiago, the wordt is aigle blanc vs nic nemeth (He can more good match )"

[9.0] "With how wild the landscape of wrestling has been, the changes it has gone through, the health issues with Ibushi, etc. it's crazy we got this sort of match in 2025, in AEW, and on television. And, it turned out to be an awesome match. Ibushi, while not looking to his absolute top skill wise, still looked damned good and shows flashes of what made him so incredible years back. Okada is Okada, forever one of the best to ever do it. This was special for several reasons and was a great way to finish off Dynamite 300."

[10.0] "Seriously, does this masterpiece have such a low rating? It is one of the best segments of all of 2024, if not the absolute best; it's simply madness that it has a 5, I don't understand. Every moment is perfectly crafted, with an astonishingly beautiful direction and the characters of Roman and Cody who, as usual, have connected perfectly."

[9.0] "Wrestlemania may have been the more iconic match but this one was still pretty damn good. Superb psychology and a heart pounding finish in an intense Wrestlemania rematch makes this match of the night for me. Undertaker nearly killing Edge at the end with the Hell's Gate made this one feel extra personal."

[6.0] "The match was not good because for nic nemeth and aigle blanc ( two very good wrestler in ring ) its not good its middle for me."

[10.0] "This storyline will go down in the history of the company: three of the greatest wrestlers to ever step into the ring doing what they do best besides fighting: talking and showcasing the complexity of their characters to the world. Every detail has been precious and every segment a gem."

[8.0] "Good match , Vey bad spot because the door was not in the match , the fork and the battle in the crown was Vey incredible, first very brutal match in apc history."

[8.0] "An excellent title match between two of AEW's best ladies. This was hard hitting throughout, with Mina in particular landing some nasty looking kicks and strikes. Mercede's selling only made it look all the better. I never really thought that Mercedes was going to lose this one so close to All In, but there were a couple times here that I had some doubts creep in and maybe start questioning that. In the end it wasn't Mina's time and Mercedes was able to escape. Overall, a great first match to kick off a very good and important Dynamite."

[8.0] "Classic SenJo main event, everybody goes all-out and delivers a good match despite zero stakes. I particularly enjoyed Chisako's dropkick to the corner, she seemed to step it up a gear this match. Miyuki Takase's lariat was also great. Post-match shenanigans were fun."

[8.0] "Good match with good spot , the is very fast but josh t and joseph fenech was incredible, good face vs heel."

[7.0] "Chelsea Green is one of the most consistently entertaining stalwarts of women's wrestling and it's been a pleasure to see the evolution of her and Piper since Chelsea's US Championship win. Alba Fyre's addition has made for a fun tag-team that allows Green to pursue single glory. A Canadian pandering to American values with two Scots in tow made for a fun reign and it's clear to me that the group has legs beyond the present. I was never huge on Isla Dawn but thought it was a shame when she was released - thinking too that Fyre might not be far behind her - so it's great to see Alba getting more TV time and looking like she's enjoying herself out there. Alba and Piper's ring work gels together just fine but the suits really should just be entrance gear as it's clear they hinder their range of movement in the ring."

[7.0] "A good match, celine is perfect in this role , jgu and rhio was good but not perfect, the match is correct for me"

[1.0] "I'm not sure what footage is out there of this event, nor do i really care cus what i could make out of this was just garbage and im not just talking about that shakey ass fan cam. Idk if there's some lore that it's a miracle this event is avaliable or somthing like that, but all I can say is I have no idea what the fuck was going on during this 1 hour watch watch time thats available for viewing. Also it's not a fun WCW or Aditude Era chaos either, it's just really leaving me with my head scratching wtf is going on. There's really nothing to rate at all. Ik JAPW steps it up in later years somewhat but this is a rough start for them"

[9.0] "This felt like the culmination of the Rhodes. A true final battle between the Rhodes brothers and the completion of a story 33 years in the making. These two put on a wrestling clinic in front of a red hot crowd and it's an almost perfect match besides the finish, which I found anticlimactic."

[6.0] "Typical hate match. Couldn't get into this one much. The cosmic angels are at least good at conveying emotion so the heel stuff works well here."

[9.0] "A great match between two great performers. Natalya and Roxanne had already shown their great chemistry in the triple threat at Raw, and here at Main Event, they confirmed it. Two extraordinary athletes, one who is the past of the division and another who is the present and future."

[0.0] "Simply one of the worst wrestlers to ever exist on the face of the planet Earth. Not only is he an embarrassing in-ring worker, but he has won ten times what he actually deserved. If I think that when he was dominating there were wrestlers of the caliber of Bret Hart, Diamond Dallas Page, and William Regal, it almost sends shivers down my spine. He is not a safe worker and has repeatedly shown throughout his career that he is neither reliable nor of good character, considering he is hated by half of the wrestlers of his era and beyond. I am almost grateful that he came out of retirement in 2016, so everyone could realize how terrible he is at wrestling. Just look at the average ratings on this site; they (rightfully) dropped drastically when he returned before Survivor Series 2016."

[10.0] "It's incredible how everyone wants different people to win titles every time, and then when they get them, they end up spreading hate. Jey Uso is an extraordinary worker: one of the best talkers in the company (and he proved it during his years in the Bloodline) and a formidable tag team wrestler. Not to mention he had three of the best matches of the year on Raw (against Seth, Gunther, and Cody). He doesn't deserve all the hate he has received over the last year."

[9.0] "I gave this a five in 2022, I was very stupid. On a rewatch this kicked ass. Four crazy dudes being guys doing some sweet brawling, and then you got EHD Santo & Casas doing sick Lucha stuff in to hold it down. Just a chaotic mess in the best way. Four and a Half Stars out of Five."

[7.0] "A very well structured match, very acceptable and fun it was where Razor Ramon was my favorite of the match, and it worked as an opener. 7/10 [****]"

[8.0] "They've 100% lost some steam since they're fantastic 2023 and first half of 2024, but they still form a pretty important heel core to RAW, and seeing all the teenage-esque hijinks and backstabbing they get up to never really gets old."

[7.0] "They were fun! I think the biggest mistake for the New Bloodline was dragging them consistently into the World Title picture, hogging up Cody's time when they should've been spent more on dominating Smackdown and fighting with the OG Bloodline. Pretty much every member shined at one point or another, sans Tonga Loa, who I would die for."

[4.0] "I liked elements of it - mostly Kross, Scarlett and the energy of the mostly mute Ellering - but they just seemed to have no direction besides losing a bunch, with even a feud against the Wyatt Sicks being dropped after half the stable was fired. Shame, because they had a fantastic aesthetic."

[4.0] "I don't hate the learning tree. I think the direction for them was pretty bad, but just how damn over-the-top Jericho was with his mockery of professional help/evangelist type of people made me chuckle. It's not good, but I don't hate it."

[10.0] "This is easily one of my favorite matches of 2025. I loved Takeshita and the Bucks working together with several combo spots. Poor Bandido took some crazy moves from the trio, they made me think he was going to get pinned. But Strong & O'Reilly breaking up the pin was perfect. Moves looked strong, and you didn't have to pin a champion. I can't wait to see Takeshita vs Bandido. I also thought the Bucks dynamic as the home town team worked in an interesting way because basically everything anybody did in this match got cheered. Crowd was fantastic and I was even loud at home. *****"

[4.0] "Fun heel shenanigans from Kerry here. Nothing that special overall and will probably forget about this in a few days."

[9.0] "Sean Waltman, known by various monikers like 1-2-3 Kid, Syxx, and X-Pac, carved out a truly unique and impactful career in professional wrestling. He might not always be mentioned in the absolute top tier of "greatest ever" in terms of world championships, but his influence on major eras and his in-ring ability are undeniable. What makes Sean Waltman so impressive is his ability to reinvent himself and thrive in different companies and alongside some of the biggest stars in wrestling history. The 1-2-3 Kid: He burst onto the scene in WWF as the underdog "1-2-3 Kid, " famously scoring an upset victory over Razor Ramon. This single moment established him as a credible, exciting, and highly athletic underdog, showing that anyone could win on any given night. He was a pioneer for smaller, quicker wrestlers in an era dominated by giants. Syxx in the nWo: His move to WCW saw him join the groundbreaking New World Order as Syxx. He brought his high-flying, fast-paced style to the faction, adding a dynamic in-ring element to their rebellious attitude. Being a key member of such a revolutionary group solidified his place in wrestling history. X-Pac in D-Generation X: Perhaps his most iconic role was as X-Pac in D-Generation X. When he returned to the WWF at the height of the Monday Night Wars, he immediately fit right in with the rebellious, edgy humor of DX. He brought a youthful energy and a hard-hitting style that perfectly complemented Triple H and the New Age Outlaws. The "X-Factor" and the "Bronco Buster" became iconic moves that resonated with audiences. Beyond the factions, Waltman was an incredibly talented and versatile performer. He was known for his crisp strikes, fluid high-flying maneuvers, and ability to have good matches with almost anyone. He was a workhorse who understood ring psychology and knew how to get a reaction from the crowd, whether as a beloved fan favorite or a genuinely irritating heel. Sean Waltman's career is a testament to his adaptability and his integral role in shaping the "Attitude Era" and the "Monday Night Wars." He consistently delivered memorable moments and contributed significantly to some of wrestling's most iconic stables. He's a true veteran who has left a lasting legacy on the industry."

[7.0] "A pretty good show with very high highs and very low lows. I enjoyed this PPV and there was some really good stuff on here like the steel cage match, and the last two matches specifically. There was also some pretty bad stuff on here as well like the Mideon and Regal match. Overall a really solid show here."

[8.0] "I think might be my second ever Saya Kamitani after learning about her, she does good here. Sakura Hirota brings alot of fun avant garde wrestling especially doing a old school from very high balcony. Alot of great near falls, fun match."

[10.0] "****.75 Io is the GOAT and Takumi is one of the underrated wrestlers ever. Takumi kicks the shit out of Io and Io barely keeps hope alive for one enormous moonsault and a finish. A 19 count spot was pretty good. The crowd goes ballistic as they go to the finish."

[8.0] "Honestly a really good main event here. I enjoyed this match throughout and I liked seeing Kurt come out on top. A lot of interference but that's kinda expected for this situation. Really just a great match and a good way for Kurt Angle to win his first world title."

[7.0] "Cool show that benefited from being a breezy, easy watch. Nothing overstayed its welcome and while nothing was great everything was at least in the good to very good range. I like these semi-non-canon Magic shows; they're a lot of fun compared to the sometimes stodgy main product. 7/10"

[8.0] "Great show with most of the matches and promos intended to hype up the upcoming PPV event. I liked that they are really starting to build up feuds better now, instead of just booking tons of random matches for the sake of it. The matches on this card were pretty solid, with a strong opening in Mercedes vs Mina, some nice matches in between and a solid closing match in Okada vs Ibushi. I just wish that they would better utilize their women's roster, as there should be at least two wome's matches on every card. I don't see why not when AEW has a very strong women's roster. Why not book Thekla in more singles matches and have her take on some of the roster's best babyfaces?"

[6.0] "Not bad but not great. Solidly put together match that never really dragged but never hit a high gear either. I kinda like Hayata as the hardcore champ. He's got some charisma but his junior matches tend to drag so giving him some more options in a match isn't the worst move. ***"

[] "Wwe is not booking him properly although he's one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. He deserves another long championship run"

[6.0] "Good match. Sakuya has improved tremendously since she started. She's toned down the more cartoonish aspects of the gimmick and is working more like a badass striker with a cool outfit than a magical Figure. Good match with some light comedy mixed in ***"

[10.0] "When you talk about the greatest wrestlers of all time, Shawn Michaels is undeniably in that elite conversation. "The Heartbreak Kid, " "The Showstopper, " "Mr. WrestleMania" - his nicknames alone tell you he's synonymous with legendary performances. What truly sets Shawn Michaels apart is his unparalleled ability to combine athleticism, storytelling, and pure, unadulterated charisma. He could do it all in the ring: high-flying maneuvers, technical wrestling, incredible brawls, and perhaps most famously, some of the most dramatic and believable selling in the history of the business. He made every opponent look good, and every match feel like a main event. His career is a testament to his greatness. From his explosive singles debut, the iconic Ladder Match with Razor Ramon at WrestleMania X, to his "boyhood dream" coming true at WrestleMania XII, and then his incredible second act after a career-threatening injury, where he delivered even more classics against opponents like Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and, of course, his epic two-part saga with The Undertaker at WrestleManias 25 and 26. These matches are considered some of the best in history for a reason. Beyond the in-ring work, Shawn Michaels had an incredible connection with the audience. Whether he was the arrogant "Sexy Boy" or the beloved veteran, he always commanded attention. He truly is one of a kind, a generational talent who influenced countless wrestlers and left an indelible mark on professional wrestling."

[10.0] "He's absolutely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and every time he steps into the ring, you know you're in for something special. His athleticism is just mind-blowing the way he moves, the precision of his strikes, and those high-flying maneuvers, it's all just poetry in motion. But it's not just the flashy stuff. AJ's in-ring psychology is top-tier. He tells a story with every match, making you believe in every struggle and every comeback. He can adapt to any opponent, any style, and always delivers a clinic. From his technical prowess to his incredible charisma, AJ Styles truly embodies what it means to be phenomenal. Watching him is always a highlight, and he consistently proves why he deserves to be in the conversation for the GOAT!"

[6.0] "Solid but too short. Felt like it just gone going when it ended rather abruptly. Felt like a match to get some bigger stars on the card but didn't really fit with the Monday Magic "press the random button" charm ***"

[7.0] "It's not a bad show, it does its job well. An opener, yes, forgettable but well done, a midcard match that lived up to expectations, and a main event with a great story, perhaps not the best exhibition, but with great use of storytelling (though not so much the stipulation). In terms of promos, there's nothing noteworthy, neither good nor bad. Perhaps Humberto's promo is somewhat unnecessary because it doesn't serve any purpose."
