[2.0] "This show was not much of anything. The matches were quick and not very exciting. The best match if I had to pick was the main event which was decent overall. The worst was Henare vs Nakanishi. Oka vs Nagata was okay for what it was and fell in between the two other matches in ranking order. Looks like everyone mainly focused on Oka when rating. I'm a fan of his but he really didn't stand out much at all on this short card."

[2.0] "New Japan’s first show of the year will most likely go down as their worst… that’s because this was just some promotional matches nobody wanted to see as part of the pre-Tokyo Dome fan fest/press conference exhibition they put on. Most interesting was seeing Tomoyuki Oka make his pro-debut against his mentor Yuji Nagata. Oka shows no instant charisma, but he’s a serious and well-rounded strong heavyweight which can be utilized once he gets into his own groove. The match consisted of Nagata pushing Oka to do better, having full control."

"Skipped through to the Oka/Nagata match, only commenting on that. Oka is really quite impressive here, with his amateur wrestling skills really shining through here. Still needs more time to develop of course, but he got over really well in that match, especially since the crowd chanted for him a couple of times. I agree that he has a wonderful future ahead of him, especially since he's now shadowing Tanahashi and Tenzan."
