[8.0] "It gets a 8 from me match wise not as good as night 1 but id say more memorable and a little better for me as with the moments included nnight 1 has the match of this wrestle kingdom but this night has 4 soild matches after some mediorce to okay matches pretty good wrestle kingdom"
[10.0] "WHAT A SHOW! This was a great Wrestle Kingdom. Not a bad match on the show. I had the pleasure of watching this one in the Tokyo Dome and it's one of my favorite if not the favorite show I've ever attended. I'm rating this one in 2025 and I still pissed at the Kenta ending though, haha."
[10.0] "This is how you do a second night. Every match was great and the ending was satisfying. This was the best wrestling show of 2020 and NJPWs best until the end of the pandemic. The standouts being Naito vs Okada in what I consider to be the best in ring storytelling of all time. Kenta vs Goto in a banger and Ibushi vs White. A truly incredible show."
[9.0] "The first night as a whole was obviously better but Naito's epic win was an incredible moment. Wasn't a fan of Kenta ruining Naito's moment. I know he can get a lot of heat by doing it but Naito deserves his moment at the Tokyo Dome and should have gotten it. The undercard was also pretty fun particularly the Sanada- Sabre Jr. bout. Great show"
[8.0] "A very good second night, not as incredible in terms of the match as the 1st but damn it in terms of emotions it was incredible. I like wrestling for his, it's crazy. A good card from start to finish."
[10.0] "Amazing show that almost completely reversed all my expectations. The undercard matches I was excited for turned out to just be good instead of great and the last 4 matches, of which I was only looking forward to the main event, were all great. I don't agree with ruining Naito's crowning but this was still an overall excellent show and great Wrestle Kingdom."
[10.0] "After a show as good as night one, you'd think that NJPW would have a really hard time putting on another up to its level but somehow they managed to have an even better show for night two. Actually it was a lot better. While night one had some weak matches that got away with not bringing down the show, Night two had great matches across the board with only one weak match that like the first night it didn't weaken the show as a whole. That weak match was The IWGP United States title match. The only other match that wasn't great but was still pretty good was the NEVER openweight six man gauntlet match. That had a problem of the first two matches not being great. CHAOS was the best part of the first two. The second half of the gauntlet was really fun. The main opening tag match was really good. It had a nice story with tension. both teams were good and worked hard however Sano wasn't the greatest but he put in work and was cool to see him. The post match was very touching and this was a good send off of Jushin Thunder Liger. The Junior tag match was great. Everyone was impressive but Phantasmo and Sho were the best of their respective teams. It had lots of fun action and spots and some good comedy from Bullet Club. two thumbs up. The last match that was at the tier of those previous matches was White Vs Ibushi. It didn't start out in the most entertaining way but became really interesting by the end with lots of suspense. I thought White was really good. The rest of the matches were excellent and the very best of the night. In ascending order of quality it goes ZSJ vs SANADA, Goto vs KENTA, Jericho vs Tanahashi, and finally the best being the main event between Okada and Naito which will go down as one of the best matches to ever happen at Wrestle Kingdom. The latter two matches are some of the best matches of the whole weekend. They are definitely worth multiple watches. Fantastic event all around."
[7.0] "Marginally better than the previous night due to consistency, though the highlights didn't reach as high. Good fun. [Liger/Sano vs Hiromu/Lee] - 3 stars. [Bullet Club vs Roppongi 3K] - 3 stars (Worst of the Night). [ZSJ vs Sanada] - 4 stars. [Jon Moxley vs Juice Robinson] - 3 1/2 stars. [KENTA vs Hirooki Goto] - 3 3/4 stars. [Ibushi vs Jay White] - 3 3/4 stars. [Chris Jericho vs Hiroshi Tanahashi] - 3 1/2 stars. [Okada vs Naito] - 4 1/4 stars (Match of the Night). Average match rating: 3. 59 of 5 (or 7. 18 of 10). Rounded to 7 for Cagematch."
[8.0] "Not as amazing as the first night at the Dome, but still great! Gauntlet Match [**] So-so warm-up with filler guys. Hiromu Takahashi & Ryu Lee -vs- Jushin Thunder Liger & Naoki Sano - (Liger's Retirement Match) [** 1/2] Liger's final match of a 36 year long successful and influential career! Not prime Liger, but efficient enough for it to be a nice send-off while unselfishly putting the current generation over. El Phantasmo & Taiji Ishimori (c) -vs- SHO & YOH - (IWGP Junior Tag Title) [***] Good action, good pace, good fun. Nothing insane, but it did the trick. Zack Sabre Jr. (c) -vs- SANADA - (RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Title) [*** 1/4] I was liking this so much, but it ended prematurely. Given this the treatment the main event matches got, this could have been one of the best matches of the night. Instead a good short-ish thrill. Jon Moxley (c) -vs- Juice Robinson - (IWGP United States Title; Texas Death Match) [**] Struggled to click. KENTA (c) -vs- Hirooki Goto - (NEVER Openweight Title) [** 1/2] Solid, but no life. Goto continues where he stagnated 10 years ago and KENTA wasn't able to use his new-found momentum to get anything more out of him. Had its moments, but that was all it had. Jay White -vs- Kota Ibushi [** 3/4] Had some incredible moments, but what a ugly flow. The White dilemma. Ibushi deserved better after his efforts the day before and so for his efforts here. Chris Jericho -vs- Hiroshi Tanahashi [*** 1/2] While it was clear both have seen better times, they still managed to put a exiting match together. Hard-fought with a very hot-dad vibe. A real cool veterans battle. Kazuchika Okada (IWGP c) -vs- Tetsuya Naito (Intercontinental c) - (IWGP Title vs IWGP Intercontinental Title) [****] Apart from some slow spots, this was all it needed to be. Break-through for Naito after years of disappointments at Tokyo Dome. Nothing revolutionary from their usual formula, but with the emotional aura hanging over this they delivered to f"
[9.0] "A much more consistent night than night one, although the main event was the only thing here that is truly must see. Elsewhere the semi main was the best Jericho match since his match at the dome last year, whilst Ibushi vs White was good and could have been great if it weren't for the constant interference, which I wasn't the biggest fan of. The last 5 minutes of Goto vs KENTA were also very good, as was SANADA vs ZSJ, although it didn't quite reach the heights of some of their earlier bouts. On the other hand, Moxley vs Juice was a huge disappointment, but we at least got an entertaining segment following it."
[10.0] "NEVER Gauntlet: Ok. Happy with the result. Liger tag: **1/2. Pretty emotional at the end of this. Jr tag title match: ***1/3. Alot of action. ZSJ/SANADA: ***1/2. Pretty good match. This could have used more time. Juice/Mox: ***1/2. Very good. KENTA/Goto: ****. Great closing stretch. KENTA looked great. Jay/Ibushi: ****. Great stuff. Would have been a much higher rating without the BS. Jericho/Tana: ****1/4. Jericho looked aesthetically terrible, but was great. Tana looked great too. Main Event: *****. The culmination of a lifetime. Naito finally gets his moment, By the very end, this was 5 stars. Great show."
[8.0] "WK part 2. Way too much wrestling for 24 hours. Pre-show match was alright but did little to keep me invested. Liger's final match was pretty solid and a good way for the legend to go out. The opposing team were pretty vicious at times. Jr. tag titles match was enjoyable and had some fun action, especially from the champs who were great here, but the winners needed the moment. British title match was exactly what I wanted it to be. A true wrestling match without all the high impact spots and bombs. I loved this one. Two guys going hold for hold, trying to one-up the other. Moxley vs Robinson was quite the brawl and both men did well, but given the story, it felt lacking. Just two guys brawling for the most part. Kenta and Goto did great with the time given. Stiff match that looked painful at times. It did seem like Kenta controlled most of the match, though. Not sure how others perceived it. White vs Ibushi, while just as good as the previous match, felt bland at times and the Super Ibushi thing... well, it stinks. Won't sugarcoat it. Also went longer than it needed to. Jericho vs Tanahashi was great and I liked how they took a different approach, a slower pace if you will. Jericho looked great in this style of match, and Tanahashi carried the match well. Surprised Tanahashi tapped but it is what it is. The main event was amazing storytelling. Okada targeting Naito's knee, Naito working Okada with high impact moves such as the poisonrana and getting the Destino reversed, not to mention the announcers being a focal point of the atmosphere. So much went on in this one that it's impossible not to call it the match of the night, and rightfully so. Great event and definitely the best of the two WK shows."
[10.0] "Liger retirement match 2 - While night 1 had more of an emotional impact for me, this match was better wrestled due to the younger guys - (***). Junior tag titles - What a fun match! This was an absolute blast to watch - (****), Rev Pro title - this match was advertised as a technical classic and what we got was a great display of technical wrestling from two of the best technicians in New Japan - (****), US title - Mox vs. Juice is now a feud that joins the rare list of taking place in Sumo Hall, Budokan and Tokyo Dome, although no where close to their first match this was still very good, the obvious highlight was Suzuki's post match challenge to Mox - (***1/2), NEVER title - continuing the theme of the night at delivering different kinds of matches this was an awesome stiff brawl as per usual for these two and this title - (****1/4); Losers match - Good match but honestly a little disappointing, these guys relied on too much bullshit when the truth is that they didn't need it to have a good match - (***); Tana vs. Jericho - This was A LOT better than I thought it was going to be, thankfully Tanahashi was able to drag this match out of Jericho - (***1/4), IWGP title vs. IC title - And we end off night 2 of WK 14 with an emotional bout that culminated Naito's years long journey to winning a main event at Tokyo Dome, our early contender for MOTY - (*****) Although a weird choice to end the night with the sour note of KENTA attacking Naito this was still a fantastic night of pro wrestling. Although a better card top to bottom, I still slightly prefer Night 1."
[10.0] "While night 1 had my favorite match of the weekend (Okada vs Ibsuhi), night 2 felt like it had no fillers. /// Ligers retirement match was fun for what it was. 2 teams of 2 rivals going and Liger putting over two future stars in his farewell match. A bit confusing at times when Hiromu and Lee would seemingly go heel and viciously beat down Liger and then go right back to being respectful challengers. (**1/4) //// Junior tag match was so much fun all throughout. The cup spot was funny and ELP really shined. (***3/4) //// Sabre and Sanada was an incredible technical showing for both men. Zack playing the pompous smart ass who thinks he's better than everyone else and getting mad when Sanada would match him in technical skills. A really great match. (****1/4) //// Moxley and Juice was fine, I think their first match was better but this was still ok. The post-match interaction was so good and I cannot wait for what it leads to. (**3/4) //// Kenta vs Goto was great, Kenta is one of the best heels NJ has right now and this match proved it. Just an absolute slugfest. (***3/4) //// White vs Ibushi was pretty damn good. Even though this was technically the battle of two losers it still had the important energy to it. Again, I loved Ibushi snapping and just beating the ever-loving shit out of Jay and Gedo. That one chair shot to the head was frightening. At this point, I'm too scared to even ask about the status of Ibushis neck. (****1/4) //// Jericho vs Tanahashi was good. Jericho played the invading heel from America and Tanahashi tried defending New Japan proudly all while trying to win a title shot. Some brutal shots even though the audio was cut for 80% of the match. (****1/2) //// The Double Title match was a formulaic Okada match yet still great. (****3/4) since I'm running out of characters."
[10.0] "The crown jewel to end a year of amazing NJPW storylines. This show was extra special with the double gold dash. The second night was also a lot better than the first. No filler."
[8.0] "Weaker than night 1 in my opinion but not by much. The main event is perhaps one of the greatest matches ever with a satisfying conclusion to a 7 year old tale with a major shock afterwards to portray the ever changing style of the business. Tanahashi Vs Jericho(****1/4) was better than anything I expected and though Ibushi Vs White didn't make much sense as a match, was still serviceable. Overall an above average show until the main event, which takes it to the next level."
[8.0] "Considering most people came from a very physically intensive first night, match quality ranged from very good to excellent, apart from that awful transition from a Hi Fly Flow into a Liontamer. Sorry Jericho, you know I love you but it really looked like junk. Match results were pretty much what everybody expected, but Gedo and Jado surely love their referee bumps and low blows. Very good night of wrestling but night one was better."
[10.0] "Tricky to choose but I personally will go for Night 2 as the better of the pair. Night 1 did have some of the best matches overall but it terms of consistent quantity of quality matches push Night 2 up one more notch as the better overall show, in addition to the extra layer of emotion throughout. Liger's last match was a fitting send off with the next generation in the mix. Roppongi 3K vs BULLET CLUB has a crispy and varied match, with the latter in particularly impressing with tag offence. Zack Sabre Jr. vs SANADA brought out a more dynamic and different SANADA and Zack is always a mat wizard. Jon Moxley vs Juice Robinson was probably the weakest of the night, not bad but a step down from the brutal spectacle of the previous night vs Archer, while Moxely Suzuki is what I've been waiting for! Hirooki Goto vs KENTA was what I would have hoped, a solid hard hitting affair, great stuff! Jay White vs Kota Ibushi was a welcomed change of pace, with a clearer old school face vs heel dynamic with the surprise win for me in White, I'm still not sold on White as their next top foreign star ut him and Gedo are delightful heel pairing. Chris Jericho vs Hiroshi Tanahashi was interesting since I was sure of a latter win but Jericho pulled it off and in convincing fashion, tied to AEW up in the air still, a good very fun brawl with the bountiful of charisma of both Tanahashi and Jericho carrying the match as much as the action. Finally Tetsuya Naito vs Kazuchika Okada was excellent, a worthy end to the two nights of quality action, Naito being the right choice to go over, he is a top tier worker and is the most over man in the country. KENTA coming back after the celebration was also fun cherry on top that hopefully together with White reestablishes BULLET CLUB as a major heel force. While not the best Wrestle Kingdom, the bar for those can be 11 out of 10 high so I'm comfortable giving this show high praise."
[10.0] "A great night of wrestling. Naito vs Okada was ***** at least, and Goto vs KENTA and Jericho vs Tanahashi were ****1/2 for me. An incredible event."
[8.0] "Night 1 was the stronger overall show, but the main event alone makes this one, if not the best weekend events of this past decade plus of wrestling."
[7.0] "Yeah it was pretty good. Better than the last night on the back of more consistent singles matches overall, even if it went lower and didn't peak quite as high as night 1. If these were your first NJPW shows, you chose wisely."
