[4.0] "An undercard that fluctuated between wildly amusing (Gurentai tag, AHII match, Rikishi match) either for high-effort junior stuff (first match) or funny/bizarreness (other two). MutaJIRI vs. HakuDustin is a bit amusing just for the "wtf why was this booked" of it all but not one worth paying to see which honestly could be said of most of this card. Barring the TERRIFIC Kondo (c) vs. Nakajima (****+) match the show struggles between "Yeah, that was fun" and "God that sucked" with too much of the big stuff being the latter. It's good seeing SUWA before retirement and Kensuke vs VM is usually good but giving it 15, throwing it around the Bad rookie, and not putting YASSHI in to at least get thrown around by Kensuke to give us something amusing made it boring. Suwama & RO'Z vs Kea & Kawada should have been a good hard-hitter, but the Voodoo Murders team doing HHH-level heel work while Kawada is so inconsequential it's jarring led to a pretty bad match that dragged hard. Kea tried but could only do so much, the other three sandbagging the match hurt it. MiSu (c) vs. Kojima is a dreadful match. Kojima's only actively good when getting bitched out and while MiSu on offense for most of it *should* have been in Kojima's wheelhouse, but early MiSu is so uninteresting/underdeveloped as a high-level singles worker and bad at managing drama that it cancelled out a usually-winning formula. His offense here is DULL. The structure did consistently focus around working Kojima's arm but the escalation is so janky that the pace throughout is rough as hell. Even with a relatively short 23-minute timer it's the worst of two boring main eventers slopping together a match that failed on a basic structural level. It's not worth watching the whole card, even in chunks."

[6.0] "Two major matches and a very hit and miss undercard. The freakshow matches involving foreign stars did have it's appeal. Just not the type of appeal that'll generate high star ratings from me. I would still recommend getting this show. Easily the best AJPW so far in 2007. Kaz Hayashi & Taka Michinoku -vs- NOSAWA Rongai & MAZADA [*], AHII -vs- Mastadon & Tobandjar [1/4*], TARU & SUWA -vs- Kensuke Sasaki & Raimu Mishima [* 3/4], Akebono & Toru Owashi -vs- Rikishi & Johnny Dunn (Nobutaka Araya) [* 1/2], Great Muta & Tajiri -vs- Goldust & Hakushi [*], Shuji Kondo -vs- Katsuhiko Nakajima - (AJPW Junior Title) [*** 1/2], Toshiaki Kawada & Taiyo Kea -vs- Kohei Suwama & RO'Z - (AJPW Tag Title Decision) [3/4*], Minoru Suzuki (c) -vs- Satoshi Kojima - (Triple Crown Title) [*** 1/4] Suzuki went to work on that lariat arm of his straight away locking in one armbar after the other wherever he could. In the ring and on the ropes. It didn't matter and he made some good damage to the arm. Not that it stopped the lariats from coming. But it did weaken the effect and proved a successful tactic as the bastard controlled so much of this that one was almost expecting a major Kojima comeback to bring the title back around the waste of a AJPW babyface. Quite a typical Suzuki dominance bout we're used to see and it did feel like and important deal even if the action wasn't of the most spectacular."
