[8.0] "Very good show . All the matches where good to great with the exception of the Tag Title match . As bad as that was I envisioned it being much worse . Way too long for those involved . This show really exposed NOAH's lack of depth . Cage would be an awesome addition if they have him back as a regular . The # 1 contenders match featured to bloated Jr. 's who have not yet found a way to look like heavies . The tag match had 2 super green giants that should not be given tours of Japan let alone title shots . And the Heavyweight Title match was real good but Yone is not exactly a top challenger . But how many times can you run Shoizaki and Suguira out there as challengers ? Review sounds negative but it was an enjoyable show . My top match was Brian Cage vs. Takashi Sugiura ."

[6.0] "One of NOAH’s most consistent shows of 2017. No bad matches in sights, and some delivered way above expectations! Go Shiozaki -vs- Kaito Kiyomiya [** 1/2] - Explosive in parts with young punk Kiyomiya refusing to let Go waltze over him. Brian Cage -vs- Takashi Sugiura [** 1/2] - Cage brings such a different game to the NOAH formula that it’s a welcome sidestep. Atsushi Kotoge -vs- Kenou [** 3/4] - Semi-hot #1 contender battle, which included the crowd support. Naomichi Marufuji & Maybach Taniguchi -vs- Cody Hall & Randy Reign – (GHC Tag Title) [***] - I’m stunned! This delivered…. don’t know how, but it did. Following the simple formula of big guys dominating, only to have the local stars gradually fight back. Marufuji looked so small next to Cody Hall and that added to the freak element. He kind of had to step up his game to look credible against such huge opposition. Taniguchi too, but he’s stronger and could lift these guys up. It was naturally the towers that did most of the lifting, doing all kinds of double-team slams to keep the tag champs down. Katsuhiko Nakajima (c) -vs- Mohammed Yone – (GHC Title) [** 3/4] - Mohammed Yone draws NOAH’s biggest crowd at Korakuen Hall in 2017 for his 3rd time challenging for the GHC Title. It’s going to take a lot for me to enjoy a modern Yone match, but he was semi-motivated. Still a little slow in between the hard hitting, but he’s forgiven doing that wonderful psycho smile as Nakajima was kicking his afro head in!"
