[7.0] "Good but disappointing show . The questionable stuff was early in the card but still some of the big matches where not as good as expected . Matches worth watching : Katsuhiko Nakajima & Masa Kitamiya vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki & Takashi Iizuka) , Maybach Taniguchi vs. Shelton Benjamin , Yoshinobu Kanemaru (c) vs. Hitoshi Kumano , Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Lance Archer) (c) vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Toru Yano , Takashi Sugiura (c) vs. Go Shiozaki and my top match was Momo No Seishun Tag (Atsushi Kotoge & Daisuke Harada) (c) vs. Hajime Ohara & Kenou ."

[7.0] "It's a shame that these days under 2000 show up for NOAH's big shows, but this is a consequence of their biggest booking enigma - how to get their best talent over. Not only does the organization run hot/cold on Shiozaki but the guy desperately needed a change of pace heel run. He's a prince and princes do not make for #1 babyfaces especially when all the kings have either retired or even worse. With that in mind, and with an uneven crowd reaction, the Sugs/Shiozaki war was still quite the epic struggle with tremendous chops/elbows/slaps. They were both gold but the match needed a more vociferous crowd. I also enjoyed the drag-down fight between Shelton/Taniguchi as well as the Jr. tag belt match. Neither Kanemaru, nor any team comprising partially of Yano, nor the direction of the JR. belts with the ancient players seemingly challenging next tickles my fancy. Shiozaki/Shelton will be good so I hope some people come to watch."
