[5.0] "I started watching this and then I realized I watched the first night like a year ago, and it wasn't very good, I just hadn't given it a rating lol. Bad show, I really didn't like that Omega vs. Page was the main event in this one (had it at a ***)."

[6.0] "Good show, but not up to the expectations of a show of this scale. On the other hand this was the lowest prioritized show of a 2-day stay in Fukuoka. A B-level big show and with a untested main event with Hangman Page getting his big trial against Kenny Omega. They didn't have the best of flows or crowd support, but there was portions of this special singles match which lived up to the hype. The bleeding helped, without them doing too much with it. They busted out some big spots and thankfully didn't let the match go to "epic lengths" as nearly all of Omega's main event matches seems to go. So at least that was refreshing. Cody -vs- Ibushi wasn't nearly as good as their Tokyo Dome match as nearly all of their big moments was off in some form or another, including the finish. Yet, there was always something buzzing about this match. Ibushi is such a vibrant wrestler, you feel the adrenaline with him and Cody works in such a old school way like few others today, so the match was always fascinating. And on the second try.... That's the way to break a table! Not the usual cut-in-the-middle lame break. Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens -vs- Shota Umino & Yota Tsuji [* 1/2], Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask & Ryusuke Taguchi -vs- Yuji Nagata & Tomoyuki Oka & Ren Narita [* 1/4], Rocky Romero & SHO & YOH -vs- Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Takashi Iizuka [1/2*], Hirooki Goto & Jay White & Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano & YOSHI-HASHI -vs- Togi Makabe & Michael Elgin & Juice Robinson & David Finlay & Toa Henare [** 1/4], Bad Luck Fale & Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa (c) -vs- Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson & Marty Scurll - (NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Title) [** 1/2], Tetsuya Naito & EVIL & SANADA & BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi -vs- Minoru Suzuki & Zack Sabre Jr. & Taichi & Yoshinobu Kanemaru & El Desperado [** 3/4], Kazuchika Okada & Will Ospreay -vs- Hiroshi"

[7.0] "BC vs. Young Lions (**) - Seki-gun vs. Nagata/Narita/Oka (**1/2) - Chaos vs. Seki-gun (**1/2) - NEVER 6-Man (**3/4) - LIJ vs. Suzuki-gun (**3/4) - Ospreay/Okada vs. Tanahashi/Kushida (***1/2) - Cody/Ibushi (****) - Omega vs. Hangman (***1/4) Fairly average show with the first lot of tags being basically house show standard. The last tag had some really good stuff in it and Cody/Ibushi delivered well, I think on par with their WK match and definitely MOTN here, they have some great chemistry. Omega/Hangman was pretty good but it did start off with lots of smoke and mirrors which kind of took me out of it for the remainder of the match. The finish was done really well, Hangman sold it SO well, I thought he was dead. Decent enough last few matches but the rest of it was a bit of a drag."

"KES vs RPG 3K 6 man : *. Saw this by accident. This match up in theory intrigues me. Too quick for anything to happen. Main event: ***3/4. Page is significantly better than he was 2 years ago. Good."

[7.0] "Not a particularly eventful show, but it was satisfyingly short. Glad the BC vs BC match for the 6 man titles wasn't melodramatic, ***1/2. Cody vs Ibushi wasn't as good as their Wrestle Kingdom 12 match, but still quite a fun match, ***3/4. Page rocked it again by proving he can hang with the top guys in a very great match with Kenny, ****1/4."
