Reception

In 2016, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 1.0 xtremely Horrendous stating, "This was better than the atrocity that was Souled Out the prior month, but JUST barely. I mean, this is awful. Only two matches reach two stars and that’s the ceiling for this show. Before the Vampiro/Kidman match, this was in worst show in history territory. The second half proved to be bad but not pitifully bad so that saved it from a zero."
