[7.0] "Solid show with not bad undercard and very good matches for titles. Taichi/Harada and K. E. S/War Machines was good and in my opinion, K. E. S. vs. WM was the best match for GHC Tag Team Titles in K. E. S. title run's. And main event's who was great, Suzuki is very good champion in NOAH."

[7.0] "Another NOAH's show that only rely on the uparcard. Shelton feels relevant again after a long time with impressive win over Nakajima. Marfuji and Kotoge also deliverd nice match. The tag team titles match was good nonetheless but it could've been better, great clash between big men but I don't think it was hard enough. Suzuki vs. Sugiura is the most brilliant match of the year. The last 15 min included mostly elbow strikes and they still managed to keep things interesting and the crowd red hot. The Sugiura's classic knee was well planed and executed as always. Does Suzuki is on is way to one of the best reigns over GHC heavyweight championship? Probably so."
