The worst pay-per-view in years. This was horrible! Horrible! I don't even know what else to say...I should do a Chris Jericho promo and start reading out of a thesaurus—horrible, wretched... appalling... atrocious, insulting... god, this was horrible! This show didn't have a single match above two-and-a-half stars. It had one matchnote that I gave MINUS. FIVE. STARS!

It's impossible to grade Chemicritters on their own without taking the entire Gemini mechanic into consideration. I don't want to do that, so this is a solid carbon monoxide poisoning out of 5.

It is the absolute worst! The sorriest excuse for a battle map ever! To the point where I don't even know if F-tier accurately captures my feelings! THIS SHIT BELONGS IN G-TIER! CONGRATULATIONS, TOAD'S TURNPIKE!
