[8.0] "This was a banger of a match. Ospreay and Eagles work tremendously together. Hiromu's awesome and looked great after his return. BUSHI did nothing for me here, which is usually the case but at least he was a solid punching bag and performed all his signature spots well enough. Hiromu and Ospreay's exchanges were excellent here. Loved their sequence on the apron and outside the ring which led to Ospreay getting dropkicked into the crowd. Also Hiromu powerbombing Ospreay onto Eagles to break up the submission was sweet too. Great tag match. ****"

[7.0] "This match was really good, and Takahashi showed that he has lost absolutely nothing during his time away; he looked as good as he ever did, even though he was clearly holding back from the crazier moves. The finish was great too, even with the obvious need to improvise, and made complete sense if you know New Japan booking patterns."

[7.0] "Fun tag match, and it was very nice seeing Hiromu back in the ring after his long hiatus due to injury. Really this was more to highlight the Ospreay/Takahashi rivalry headed into WK14 and it did its job as it was a very good match, although not quite great. The upset with Eagles pinning Hiromu makes sense if Hiromu is set to win at WK, since then he? d have a ready challenger. Anyways, yeah, this was good. ***3/4"

[8.0] "A shocking upset for the finish, but Hiromu's return match was pretty great as he looks like he hasn't lost a step. Granted he's had a year and a half to rest, but he definitely doesn't look any less energetic than he was since then. Not into Ospreay's "heel/tweener" turn thing though since he's been the top junior face for literally the past year. They did it with Kenny last year, and it didn't make sense then, and it doesn't make now, but that's an argument for a different time."
