Jon Alba of AdFreeShows.com also noted the following about how wrestlers reacted to the match…

“Have gotten messages from talent in *every* major company tonight in awe at what Cody Rhodes pulled off at #HIAC. That’s how big that was.

Was it the right decision to allow him to wrestle? That’s going to be debated for a long time. I don’t know what his pain threshold is, or how comfortable his dancing partner felt with his limited mobility (clearly, enough). Will be quite the story to revisit years from now.”
