[7.0] "A very solid show with 3 three good matches being Kenta vs. Yoshi-Hashi, Juice vs ZSJ and EVIL vs Goto which was surprisingly solid. The comedy between Naito & Yano was really fun, most likely one of Yano's best performances in this tournament. Finally, the main-event was the MOTN: it started slowly as it was the usual NJPW big main-event formula and both Tanahashi and SANDA managed to deliver an awesome battle."

[6.0] "Solid show, only the main event is a satisfactory at all match. The rest of the card is anyway good."

[7.0] "Pretty good show. Most of the matches were a 7 out of 10 for me, with one being better, and two being worse. Not amazing but certainly a fun show."

[8.0] "Dear fucking God, we were THIS close to have a ***** on the Main Event. The show was great and had three good matches, a funny one and a disaster called EVIL match. Now, we're going to the final three nights of the G1 Climax, and I'm certain that the ***** is coming in one of them."
