"Sato vs tanaka *** 3/4 pelea entretenida de pocos minutos donde se abusa un poco de llaves en un principio con mucha credibilidad pero que carecen de eso en esta pelea, aun así entretenida Ishikawa vs Suwama una gran pelea **** 1/2 que si hubiese mostrado mas variedad por parte de suwama podría haber llegado al 3/4"
[7.0] "No 5 star classics but just a solid enjoyable show . No bad matches and most where pretty good . The main was a fight and Ishikawa looked like he had been in one . Spit or snot in his beard . One eye bruised almost shut . He has been a good champ . I don't know what is going on with Tajiri's hair but it is distracting . Nomura got a big win in the Tag Title match . I think he has a very bright future . My top was Shuji Ishikawa (c) vs. Suwama ."
[7.0] "Quality show from All Japan. They continue to make their new guys interesting while also delivering the brutal old school wrestling to make their product varied and exciting. Hikaru Sato -vs- Minoru Tanaka – (AJPW Junior Title) [** 3/4] Zeus & The Bodyguard -vs- Jake Lee & Naoya Nomura – (AJPW Tag Title) [*** 1/4] This is why I love current All Japan! They dare to push their younger wrestlers! Lee & Nomura reminds me of All Japan young guys of the 80s (such as Kawada, Nakano, Misawa, etc). They’re hungry, fresh and willing to battle the established. While I’m surprised they gave them the belts this soon, I’m not unhappy they’re letting them shine like this. Especially considering how strong they let Zeus & Bodyguard shine the first portion of '17. Now they’re giving the rub to the next guys. And an excellent match it was too. Only wish it was longer. Kento Miyahara -vs- Joe Doering [**] Over surprisingly quick! Established Miyahara’s motivation towards regaining his throne in All Japan. Shuji Ishikawa -vs- Suwama – (Triple Crown) [*** 1/2] Yeah, hard knocks! Exactly what it promised to be. I wouldn’t say it was always interesting, for it took a while to really get the steam in there. Poor Ishikawa. He really got to feel Suwama’s wrath with a swelling eye. And to make matters worse for the Triple Crown Champ, the closing exchanges were inhumanely stiff! Ishikawa took it like a man and fought back dropping Suwama continuously in dangerous killer moves. A true heavyweight clash!"

[10.0] "Great show. The undercard tag matches were good, nothing horrible. Sato vs. Tanaka was awesome. Good psychology, structure and a good finishing stretch (***3/4); The Big Guns vs. NEXTREAM was awesome with top notch storytelling. Loved it they focusing on Lee and working on his leg, which he sold with greatness by the way. Always great to see the monster vs. underdog dynamic (****); Miyahara vs. Doering would be a great match if wasn't too short. The match was good, but Joe didn't get much of his offensive (***3/4); And the main event was the greatness that I was expecting. Shuji is a monster and continues his streak of one of the best wrestlers of the year. Suwama always delivers in big matches and they maked a awesome, hard-hitting, well paced match. Another fucking great Main Event for All Japan (****1/2); If you ain't watching All Japan's shows this year, you're really missing great wrestling."
