[9.0] "Great show. Totally in DDT's unique style. There was comedy, intergender matches, strong style and great title fights. The best matches: 1)Joey Ryan vs Colt Cabana, 2)KUDO, Masahiro Takanashi, Yukio Sakaguchi vs Koju Takeda, Kota Umeda, Yuki Ueno, 3)Loser Anal Explosion Weapon Rumble Five Way Tag Team Match, 4)HARASHIMA, Naomichi Marufuji vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Kazusada Higuchi, 5)Konosuke Takeshita vs Shuji Ishikawa. I recommend this whole show. Lots of fun."

[6.0] "Not a great MAJOR show from DDT, but entertaining in all it's madness! The main event and the title match before it gave us the much needed quality wrestling, but there's no doubt the DDT absurdities was what was going to take center stage, like Dino battling Great Muto in a tag with Dino spraying mist out his ass, Takagi & Sawa taking the Anal Blast and Super Sasadango Machine's detailed Power Point presentation. Mad Paulie & Hoshitango & Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi & Cherry -vs- Mizuki Watase & Rekka & Daiki Shimomura & Nobuhiro Shimatani & Takato Nakano [* 3/4], Kenshin Chikano & Akira Jo -vs- Kouki Iwasaki & Shinichiro Tominaga [* 1/2], Yuka Sakazaki & Syoko Nakajima -vs- Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone [* 1/2], Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata -vs- LiLiCo & Makoto Oishi -vs- Reika Saiki & Lady Beard -vs- Akito & Shunma Katsumata -vs- Antonio Honda & Ethan Page -vs- Naomi Yoshimura & Keisuke Okuda - (Gauntlet) [**], Cradle Colt Cabana -vs- Joey Ryan [**], Saki-sama & Azusa Christie & Yoshiko-sama -vs- Miyu Yamashita & Maki Ito & Mizuki [* 1/2], Super Sasadango Machine (c) -vs- Jiro Kuroshio - (Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title) [*], KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi (c) -vs- Kota Umeda & Yuki Ueno & Koji Takeda - (KO-D 6-Man Tag Title) [** 1/2], Mike Bailey & MAO -vs- Sanshiro Takagi & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa -vs- Yuko Miyamoto & Soma Takao -vs- Isami Kodaka & Fuminori Abe -vs- Michael Nakazawa & Chinsuke Nakamura - (Weapon Rumble; 5-Way; Loser Gets Anal Blast Match) [** 1/4], Great Muta & Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo -vs- Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii & Ken Ohka [** 1/2], HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji (c) -vs- Daisuke Sekimoto & Kazusada Higuchi - (KO-D Tag Title) [** 3/4], Konosuke Takeshita (c) -vs- Shuji Ishikawa - (KO-D Title) [*** 1/4]"

[6.0] "If you're a DDT fan then you'll probably love this entire show. I myself can tolerate the comedy but am much more interested in the more serious pro-wrestling matches. Sadly the entire first half of this ridiculous 6-hour long show is very skippable. The first few matches were incredibly bland proper wrestling matches more so than just bad comedy matches. Not very many good displays of chemistry. These would have been just plain 'bad' matches if not for a crowd that clearly could not care less about the wrestlers in the ring. Matches were all in the * to ** range. Ironically enough, once the full-on comedy matches began the show improved quite a bit. Sure, it wasn't proper wrestling, but it was a hell of a lot more entertaining. Cabana vs Ryan had some absurd and ridiculous moments that I enjoyed, while Machine vs Kuroshio had a lot of very hilarious moments. They were still not exactly 'good' matches, but entertaining at the very least. Both in the **1/2 range. The first properly good match came with the KO-D 6-man Tag Title match. Impressive athleticism all around and some great strike exchanges between Umeda and Sakaguchi. I especially enjoyed Umeda's arc as he was overshadowed by his team and here he finally overcame them and established himself. ***1/4-***1/2. The Weapons 5-way Rumble match was peak DDT stupidity, but yet another match so absurd it's entertaining. Just crazy and hilarious. **3/4. The 6-man tag match was alright. Muta was broken down. Keisuke was explosive, and Dino was great fun. **1/4. Harashima & Marufuji vs Sekimoto & Higuchi went for the strong style formula but came up short. Not all of the 'big' interactions felt appropriately executed, usually due to timing issues. The intensity did increase and lead to some fun moments though. ***1/4. Takeshita vs Ishikawa was great. Very hard hitting with strong selling from both men. Some annoying power-up moments but mostly a very compelling match. ****"

[7.0] "Meine erste DDT Show seit Monaten, wenn man sich durch die Undercard gekämpft hat, ist das ein sehr schöner Event. Richtig rund ging es dann für mich erst beim KO-D Six Man Tag Team Match. Schön Muto nochmal in Action gesehen zu haben, hat mir auch sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Die Kämpfe des Abends sind ganz klar der Semi Main Event und der Main Event, wobei mir hier der Tag Team Titelkampf einen Hauch besser gefallen. Sekimoto und Higuchi als Team sind absolut fantastisch!"

[8.0] "Die Dark Matches sind ziemlich typisch DDT besonders das dritte, wobei das zweite und das dritte okay sind, das erste ist irgendwie komisch, weil es ernster sein will als es sein kann. Der Opener der Main Show ist dann ein flottes Gauntlet Match, in dem besonders Page positiv raussticht und mal Sachen besonders im Flyingbereich zeigt, die man nicht so von ihm kennt. Colt Cabana gegen Joey Ryan war dann für das was es war wirklich perfekt. Die Matchstory darum, dass Cabana Ryans Penis anfassen soll und dennoch auch wrestlerisch anständig. Bei manchen Spots wie mit den Lutschern habe ich mich tot gelacht oder auch als Ryan dem Referee erklärte, das drei two Counts den Sieg bedeuten. Das Six Woman Tag war in Ordnung. Das Iron Man Heavy Metal Title Match war übliche DDT Comedy, die teilweise durch die Sprachbarriere schwer zu verstehen ist. Das Six Man Title Match war das wrestlerisch beste bis dahin und das erste von vier aus dieser Kategorie. Das Five Tag Match danach war Wahnsinn, wie nur DDT ihn produzieren kann. Das Six Man Tag hat gutes Wrestling mit Comedy verwoben, was dann auch zur Matchstory wurde und Dino zum MVP werden ließ. Dann kam das Match des Abends mit dem Tag Title Match. Unglaublich stiff und gute Phasenübergänge mit dem Stellvertreterkrieg, dann dem Face Off Marufuji gegen Sekimoto die sich fast zu Tode choppen, gutes Selling von allen und ein absolut cleveres, gutes Tag Team Finish. Der Main Event war ebenfalls gut. Besonders die Schlussphase und das Selling waren bei beiden sehr stark. Shuji wirkte wie ein Monster und Konosuke als kämpfender Underdog kriegte aber immer wieder auch Hope Spots rein, sodass es realistisch wirkt. Ich fand es einen winzigen Hauch schlechter als das Tag Match, weil es in meinen Augen im Mittelteil ein kleines bisschen zu lang war. Wenn ich die Dark Matches rausnehme hat diese Veranstaltung 8 Punkte verdient. Main und Co Main Event liefern ab und der übliche DDT Wahnsinn ist auch - wenn auch mit einigen Längen- dabei."

[6.0] "Nach den Dar und Undercard Matches , die viel Comedy bieten geht es für mich mit dem Six Man Tag Title Match auch richtig los. Die jungen Leute zeigen ein sehr gutes Match gegen die Shuten Doji Männer ***1/2. Mit dem nächsten Match ist die Comedy auch schon zurück, aber das ist nun mal DDT. Six Man Tag hat den letzten Moonsault des Great Muta. Tag Title Match: Ein großartiges Match mit vielen stiffen Strikes. Higuchi & Sekimoto als Team ist schon eine Wand. Marufuji und Harashima setzen alles was sie haben dagegen, und das ist einiges. Higuchi holt sich hier nach einem halben Jahr den Titel mit neuem Partner zurück und vielleicht den größten Sieg seiner bisherigen Karriere ****1/4. Takeshita hat hier wohl den härtesten Brocken seiner einjährigen Regentschaft mit Ishikawa. Das Match ist super ****."

[9.0] "Great show from start to finish with a slowed down pace in the middle. Gauntlet match was fun with lots of shenanigans, ***. Joey vs Colt was honest to god a good match, ***1/2. TJPW tag match was fun, Maki is awesome, ***1/4. I don't even know how to describe the IMHM title match because of how insane it was, ***. Things started to get serious with the 6 man title match which was really good, ***3/4. The Anal Explosion match was alright, but went on way too long to be honest, **1/2. Muta farewell match was fine too, but lower quality than what I expected, ***1/2. The tag title match was ridiculously great with Higuchi looking like a star, ****1/2. Main event delivered as expected with Takeshita getting his revenge, ****1/2."

[8.0] "Opener ** 3/4, Ryan vs Colt ** 1/2, Damen 6 Man Tag ** 3/4, Heavy Metal Title Match DUD, Six Man Tag Titles *** 1/2, Five Team Match *** 1/4, Six Man Tag ** 3/4, Co Main Event MOTN **** 1/2 und der Main Event **** 1/4. Insgesamt keine großartige Show, aber durchaus kurzweilig und spaßig. Bei zeitdruck sollte man sich die letzten 2 Matches ansehen... Als DDT Fan guckt man ansonsten eh die ganze Show."

[9.0] "Tag Rumble: Pretty entertaining opener. (**½). Colt Cabana vs. Joey Ryan: Not a huge fan of Joey Ryan but Colt was pretty funny in this match. (*¾) . Maki Ito, Miyu Yamashita & Mizuki vs. Azusa Christie, Saki-sama & Yoshiko: Yamashita was great as usual, Ito was awesome with screaming. Everyone played their role well. (***). Super Sasadango Machine (c) vs. Jiro Kuroshio: Wasn? t much of a match but very enjoyable. (*). Shuten Doji (c) vs. Koju Takeda, Kota Umeda & Yuki Ueno: Really good 6 man tag. Shuten Doji played the veteran heels very well, controlling the majority of it and putting the younger guys over really well. (***¼). Tag Team Weapons Rumble Match - Mixed bag with this one. Some of the humour never connected and some did. It got pretty decent by the end when the weapons got involved but overall disappointing match. (**). Sasaki & Endo & Great Muta vs. Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Ken Ohka: It was very awkward to watch. Don? t think DAMNATION could say the match, it was mostly designed for Muta who was very slow. I came around to the match eventually and witnessed Muta's last moonsault ever.. As it? s possibly Muta? s last match, I? m going to be generous. (**). HARASHIMA & Marufuji (c) vs. Sekimoto & Higuchi: Fantastic tag team match. Multiple storytelling done well. One, Higuchi finally beat HARASHIMA after failing many times before. he survived the same KO sequence that HARASHIMA used to knock him out previously.. Higuchi earning the respect of Marufuji but there is still some problems with HARASHIMA. In the match, Higuchi vs Marufuji and HARASHIMA was way more heated and there was hatreds whereas with the Sekimoto parts, it was more competitiveness and just wanting to one-up each other. (****¼). Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Shuji Ishikawa: Great match between these two. Takeshita turned up in this match and played his role really well, I thought. Shuji Ishikawa was the star of the match though, stiff as hell. (****)"
