Here are what some journalists/critics are saying after seeing an advance screener:

"Easily worth the price of admission." – Mike Johnson at PWInsider.com after seeing a screener.

"(9.0) This was a fantastic show from start to finish. I’m very excited to see the development of a storyline based around American versions of stables that already exist in DGUSA. The crowd made this show and everyone in that building was hot from start to finish. The Shingo & Yamato vs. Kid & CIMA and PAC & Doi vs. Quackenbush & Jigsaw matches are must-see and everything else on the card was good to great. I give this show a high recomendation." – Sean Radican at PWTorch.com

"…another strong PPV…" – Bryan Alvarez in Figure 4 Weekly Newsletter. He gave the final three matches ***3/4, ****, ***3/4

"(Naruki Doi & PAC vs. Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw is a) hell of a match." – Dave Meltzer in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who rated every match at least ***1/2 and gave the final three matches ****, ***3/4, ****
