[5.0] "This is the definition of a one match card. Even the undercard tags, something that NJPW pulls off quite competently, were a chore to sit through. Skip to the main event and save yourself the headache. [Suzuki-Gun vs Bullet Club] - 1 ¾ stars. [Tenzan/Wato vs Bullet Club] - 1 ¾ stars (Worst of the Night). [LiJ vs United Empire] - 2 ½ stars. [Tanahashi/Taguchi/Yano vs Bullet Club] - 2 ½ stars. [Ospreay vs Shingo] - 5 stars (Match of the Night, MOTYC). Average match rating: 2. 70 of 5 stars (or 5. 4 of 10). Rounded to 5 for Cagematch."

[8.0] "This was a one match show but what a match it was. A classic that goes down as one of the greatest matches ever. The other matches weren't bad but nothing that stood out. I continue to fall in love with the United Empire and there was some entertaining moments throughout the show but this was all about the classic at the end."

[9.0] "To be honest only saw the main event and that? s why it gets docked a point. Because it doesn? t seem like any other match was really worth seeing. But damn was that one match great. Good god what excitement from 2 of the top 5 wrestlers in the world."

[8.0] "Due to the fact that the Junior Heavyweight championship match was cancelled this was entirely a one match show. Started with some average tag matches but the Main Event was amazing. 5 plus stars for the main event and my MOTY so far."

[8.0] "- Suzuki-gun vs Bullet Club ** 3/4 or 6. 5/10 : nice opener, Tama and Tanga are much better in tag and these two trios are well oiled, especially DOUKI with Taichi and Zack. - Bullet Club vs Tenzan and Wato ** or 5/10 : not their fault, some were kept at home, so Wato and Ishimori had to carry the worst heavyweight of the company and old Tenzan. - United Empire vs LIJ *** or 6. 5/10 : good trios match that continues the long feud between the factions, the ending was particularly convincing. - good guys vs Bullet Club ** 2/5 : mostly a match to put the guys on the card, they tried to hit their greatest hits before the main event. - Ospreay vs Takagi ***** or 10/10 : the intensity, the story, the facial expressions by both, incredible. So far the best match of the year. Takagi has reached god status and is the real best bout machine of 2021, but since being called my some the best in the world in 2019, Ospreay has improved even further, becoming a full heavyweight, ready for the top title scene of New Japan, in this year he stepped up greatly, and yes, he faced the best of the best, but he more than did his part. Takagi is a god of gods, the hard hitting offense, the fighting spirit, this match had it all, and I would've been ok with it being the headliner for Wrestle Grand Slam. - PPV 8/10 : undercard was just there and suffered from some being left out, such as Suzuki and Okada, and the junior match especially, but the main event was godly and upped the entire average of the show."

[8.0] "After unfortunate cancellations of matches and some wrestlers being removed for covid protocol, the card had to be re-arranged last minute. Despite the undercard being an easy watch, with the 6 man LIJ/UE particularly fun, this could be considered a one match show (thus putting even more pressure on Shingo and Ospreay), but what a match it was. Close to 45 minutes of adrenaline fuelled, brutal physicality between the two top wrestlers in the world since 2019. One of the greatest matches in recent memory, possibly the best Ospreay/Shingo match in their series, which is remarkable in itself. After such a incredible match, the hype for Ospreay Vs Okada at the Tokyo Dome was just increased tenfold."
