[8.0] "I can't see how you can give this a 6, every match was at least decent, there was nothing outright bad. reDRagon vs Tiger and Jay White was good, White shows a lot of potential. The juniors 6 man tag was good too, a little spot heavy but that's what it's there for I suppose. Liger and Owens was just kind of there, Owens isn't that great. Tenzan vs Conway was better than expected but still not great. Ibushi and Naito vs Yano and Sakuraba was good, made me want to see Ibushi vs Sakuraba. The two Bullet Club tag matches were good too. It was the last two matches that really made the show. Nakamura vs Nagata was great, it could definitely have been better when you consider the talent of these two and the ending was a little abrupt but other than that I really liked it. Honma vs Ishii was incredible. It'll go down as the defining moment in Honma's career. I won't go on too much but it was just insane, a need to watch match."

[8.0] "Overall I felt that this was a stronger show than Osaka, and on a personal level I enjoyed it more. Tomohiro Ishii defeated Tomoaki Honma is worth your 999 YEN alone, and weak opener aside, I felt that the overall match quality was better. The guys that needed to win here did, Bullet Club took loses in payback for running wild in Osaka and the NWA Title match delivered way more than I could have hoped for. The show gets a definite thumbs up, and if you only have time for one of the New Beginning shows, go with Sendai over Osaka."
