[5.0] "A very mediocre show without any 'must-see' or even 'really good' matches, instead just featuring a bunch of matches that you may briefly somewhat enjoy but certainly won't remember. The Future of Stardom 3-way had lots of underwhelming exchanges and some sloppy chemistry, but there were at least a few mildly energetic sequences/spots. **. No words for the freak creature in the post-match. The tag match was fine and brief. Obviously AZM and Momo impressed the most, but Unagi and Lady C had some nice moments. Chemistry wasn't always the best but was mostly still okay, and the pace picked up nicely in the 2nd half. **3/4. The Stars-vs-Oedo-Tai 6-woman tag was another totally fine showcase. Mayu and Hazuki's signature stuff was decent, and there were a few okay near falls in amongst the mess that was the constant run-ins and spots. **1/2. Natsupoi vs Himeka vs Saya was decent for its time. Himeka and Natsu's heated interactions were cool, and they also had some fun tag spots whenever they briefly reconciled their issues. Saya did her usual bland routine of overly flashy spots, some of which were rather sloppy, and quite a few of which were never truly athletic or convincing. **3/4. Kid vs Koguma was alright. They had some nice exchanges and spots playing off of Kid's speed and agility against Koguma's power, though the emphasis on both their styles wasn't as great as it should've been, and they quite often got overly cutesy with their many over-choreographed 50/50 rapid trades, resulting in some difficult-to-take-seriously interactions. ***. Syuri vs Konami's UWF match was a really nice change of pace from all the mediocrity up until then. Their grappling was quite "flowy" but all still fit into traditional pro-wrestling interactions, with both having some pretty cool and quite creative submission transitions. Most of their strikes had good technique and impact, too. Their 50/50 trades and fighting-spirit displays did feel quite generic forced but were still more good than not. ***1/4. Tam vs Mina was alright. Mina was okay but definitely carried by Tam here, since Mina had decent aggression but flailed around and came off like a whiny dork too frequently, and she was also sloppy at points, whereas Tam always had good intensity and strong technique. Good pace at the end as they traded big moves and near falls, with Tam again carrying the match in that period. ***. Utami vs Maika was probably MOTN but not by any significant margin, since it was merely 'quite good' at best. It followed the standard Stardom main-event formula of a slow grappling-based start before moving to big moves and rapid trades without any real direction/story for the majority of the match. They both had good real-time selling and displays of intensity, but I thought their actual offence lacked proper impact and viciousness, and their many moves just felt stacked one after the other without ever feeling built up to or significant in comparison to any of the others. ***1/4"

[8.0] "I've only watched the title bouts and I had a good time watching 'em. Syuri vs. Konami in an UWF Rules fight was pretty sweet while Shirakawa had surely a best showcase against Nakano. Hayashita and Maika tored the house down as well, the challenger showed some pretty great things in an intense contest."

[7.0] "Pretty good show. Syuri/Konami was MOTN, and Main Event was good too. SLK vs. Koguma had some great GIF action, in STARS vs. Oedo Tai match Mayu did a rocket spot and Hazuki was just awesome."

[8.0] "A much better show than Kawasaki Super wars due to a higher level of consistency. I am very much not a fan of UWF/shoot style matches so that was lost on me. I enjoyed most of the rest of the card though topped off by yet another great Utami defence."

[9.0] "All the main matches were good, highlighted by the unique UWF rules match, and Utami and Maika in the main event, setting up another classic showdown. I am so impressed by Stardom. As a still newer viewer to the product, it amazes me how good these women are at such a young age. They really weave in great intensity, selling, athletic moves, power moves, submissions, and striking better than any other women in the world, and most men to tell great, yet largely simple stories in the ring."

[8.0] "Enjoyable show that flows so well! The last 3 matches are substantial but even the first part is good"

[8.0] "Another great Stardom show. Every match apart from the high speed title one, met or exceeded my expectations. Syrui vs Konami and Utami vs Maika were both awesome matches."

[8.0] "In Kawasaki, there were very strong midcard matches from Watanabe and Kid, Syuri and AZM, while the main matches did not shine as much. This time, the final two matches were full of drama and excellent wrestling, and mid-card matches were just ok. It's still a great show and I'm happy to be watching this promotion."

[8.0] "A very predictable show in terms of results but you can't deny that the whole show was very good, with a main event that I think is among the best in Stardom this year. Stardom's PPVs never disappoint."

[8.0] "On paper, this was a show that was very predictable and would have no big shifts or title changes. Even though that's exactly how it went, I still thought it was a really good show. The pacing was really good, none of the undercard matches went long, and some were surprisingly short. However, nothing but the opening match was under seven minutes. The first two tag matches were fun and never overstayed their welcome. The triple threat was under eight minutes, but also really good. Koguma vs SLK was the first thing that felt like a PPV match and boy was it awesome. The match was only eight and a half minutes long but it was still terrific. The ending was fine, as it protected Koguma, and I have no issues with a triple threat happening at Ryugoku. Syuri vs Konami was every bit as good as hoped, with some great stiff strikes down the stretch. It was 13 minutes and felt like a real fight at times. The only problem is due to the briefcase stipulation, the drama was neutered, as Konami had no chance of winning. If it was only for the SWA title, it could've elevated the whole vibe and drama in the match, as a title chance would've been possible. Mina vs Tam was really good in my opinion, as it did what it needed to: Tell a good story of how Mina has gone crazy and Tam has to rescue her. Mina nailed with with her expressions and mannerisms. While the aftermath was wholesome, I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to something down the road. The main event, as expected, was awesome. Like the other title matches, it was a bit hurt due to there being no chance of a title change. However, it was still a great match worth watching. All in all, this was a show I liked significantly more than the 11/3 show, since it was better paced, had only one long match, and just one other that exceeded 13 minutes. Each of the first four matches were under nine minutes, the SWA match was 13, the co-main was not unbearably long like the Tam/Unagi match started to, and the main event was better paced than that show's main event too. It's a show that, to me, was worthy of close to an 8/10 as far as B-PPVs go."
