[8.0] "Pretty good show all the way through. Only my second NJPW show I've watched and I'm even more intrigued than I was before. A lot of great matches and not much to complain about."

[9.0] "A great, great show. A couple of duds were on the card, but once you got to Makabe vs. Fale, all the matches were good, and the last two were great."

[9.0] "This PPV wasn't as good as Wrestle Kingdom 7 but it definately didn't disappoint. It opened up very well with two fun tag title matches. A downer though was the Gracie family match, which was so boring. Other than that, the 2nd half of the show literally blew up. Great matches from the Destroyer match to the Main Event. Wrestle Kingdom also had a bigger Wrestlemania atmosphere. They went all out with production value."

[8.0] "I really enjoyed NJPW's annual Dome show with a couple of minor caveats: is it really so necessary for the show to be so damn long? I know it's the culmination of a year's worth of story and intrigue but even with all the pomp and ceremony, an hour could have been cut to improve the show in general. None of the matches really took off in the way that previous encounters had between the combatants. Nonetheless, Shibata-Goto, Nakamura-Tanahashi and Okada-Naito were all potential MOTN candidates by a long way, the former shading it for its blistering brutality and knowing where to end. Some of the card disappointed but the general standard was really high and the production of the event impeccable."

[10.0] "Wrestle Kingdom 8 was Awesome! Especially the title matches =)"

[8.0] "Maybe not as good as it looked on paper, but it was still overall a pretty good show. Great showing by The Bullet Club, and the big matches were indeed big. The biggest issue was between the opening match at the Ibushi/Devitt match, their was a lot of mediocre performances."

[8.0] "Was definitely really good but was expecting better fro their year end wrap up. Started off with a solid 4 way tag match but the pace dropped drastically by the time it got to the Okada V Naito match. Okada is just too slow a performer and it really hurt both of their performances in my opinion. The Shinksuke V Tanahashi match picked things back up again but was still a little slower paced than I would have liked. The match of the night DEFINATELY went to Prince Devitt and Ibushi! Fast paced and TONS of action the whole match through! Too bad the rest of the show couldn't have been as good"
