[6.0] "Another solid night of action and some stuff is worth watching. BUSHI/HASHI (**1/2) - Just as forgettable as it looked on paper. Nothing to see here. HASHI/EVIL is going to be boring. Calling it now. SANADA/SHO (***3/4) - Very good stuff here. Loved the chemistry they had. SHO's got a future. That's undeniable. 6 Man Tag (**3/4) - The usual stuff. Yano and Hiromu are enjoyable like always. Ibushi/Taichi (***3/4) - Despite the shenanigans which is the Taichi special this might be the match of the night. Some of their exchanges were awesome. Good stuff with a shocking result in my opinion. EVIL/Goto (***1/2) - This match is on the same level as EVIL/Kojima and Okada/Nagata. Just nothing remarkable or memorable at all. A fine but nothing special match. They could do so much better but instead we just get the usual hits. Those hits are certainly fun to watch but we could be getting so much more. Maybe once the crowd returns."

[6.0] "My Ratings: BUSHI vs. YOSHI-HASHI: **1/4 // SANADA vs. SHO:***1/4 (MOTN) // 4vs4: **1/2 // Taichi vs. Kota Ibushi: ***+ // EVIL vs. Hirooki Goto: ***+. The second blandest night of the tourney so far imo, and I wanted to give the MOTN to SHO only, who carried the entire match against the laziest SANADA I've seen in a while. The main event was great too, and Kota vs. Taichi is a good reminder that Taichi is also a top performer."

[7.0] "Best day of the tournament overall so far, but it lacked that match that went above and beyond. Every match was, at least, good, including the opener, even with Yoshi Hashi's injury that kind of sidetracked it. Sanada vs Sho was a banger and SHO continues to shine brighter and brighter. The tag team match served to showcase Hiromu vs Ishii tomorrow and it set my expectations pretty high. Tachi vs Ibushi was, also pretty good, even with the interference and all the shenanigans that i don't really enjoy most of the time, but it served pretty well the purpose of setting up the eventual Tag Team Championship match and the main event, Evil vs Goto, was as hard hitting as i wanted it and Evil is another guy that is doing well this cup. I expect his match vs Yoshi hashi to be another banger, if the Chaos man is not seriously injuried."

[9.0] "Look, from an in-ring perspective this show was great. However, there are things I do not understand: 1. Taichi. If he wins the tournament, we get another Naito-Taichi match, which will be fine, but I am bored with this. It's not like this is Tanahashi-Okada level to book it continuously. 2. Ibushi. What is his role now with the company? I know we all talk about Gedo long-term booking, but what is his drive as a character?"

[7.0] "Another good show from NJPW! Day 6 of the New Japan Cup 2020 was pretty good and all the five matches were above good, I recommend every single one of them."
