[7.0] "Finally, here is a good tournament day where all the matches turned out to be at a decent level and where you can sum up logical results. David Finlay surprises and goes through the tournament without defeats, while this is his biggest push in life. KENTA is amazing only with the first win, which is sad for me. Tama Tonga tries to stand out and every day his ambitions are clearly growing, as are the results in matches. Obviously, I liked this show more than the previous three tournament days. Here everything was done with great care."

[8.0] "This show was really good. We get extra G1 action from now on which is nice because this tournament needs to pick up more. I feel like a lot of stars finally got to shine tonight especially David Finlay who I honestly want to see win."

[6.0] "This G1 show was an increase in quality after, by my tally, 5 shows that were mostly pretty mediocre at best. It still wasn't any sort of special show, but the majority of the matches were good, and the main-event was one of the better matches of the tournament thus far. Ishii vs O-Khan was every Ishii match ever, though O-Khan's unique style made for a few new additions both positive and negative. O-Khan's displays of amateur/catch-style exchanges early on were good, but all his 'gimmick' spots were dorky and cheesy as usual, making it impossible to take him seriously. His few 'strong-style' 50/50 trades with Ishii were pretty good, though they were definitely eyeroll-inducing at points because of just how completely formulaic some of them were. ***. Yano vs Lawlor was a lot of very, very silly comedy spots with a handful of more serious exchanges thrown in. 'Not awful' is the only compliment I can offer. **. Sanada vs Tama was quite good, with both working competently while showing off their impressive athleticism and agility. Sanada did his spots with his usual middling level of interest, but Tama showed good energy with his own spots. They had some nicely creative and well-executed counters in the 2nd half. They didn't do anything especially 'great', but they definitely did a lot of good work. Babyface Tama continues to be a welcome change of pace. ***1/4. Kenta vs Goto was another quite good match. They had a lot of good striking and grappling exchanges, plus some decent scrappy brawling work from Kenta. Kenta's arrogant heel work was very compelling as usual, though Goto's attempts at showing babyface fire were typically quite limited. Their 50/50 big-move and strike trades were well-timed and had good impact. A shame about how stupid all the work surrounding the ref-bump was, though the return to their various trades was again pretty good. ***1/4. Finlay vs Ospreay was one of the better matches of the tournament thus far, which is no surprise when you have Ospreay involved, but Finlay once again looked quite impressive on his own, too. There was good heat playing off of Ospreay's rage at Finlay holding his (Ospreay's) rightfully owned US title, which led to Ospreay showing really good aggression and getting great impact in all his attacks. This likewise caused Finlay to become quite intense with his own offence, which made him quite compelling despite his otherwise basic-looking attacks. Seeing them treat each other so viciously was very entertaining, and their series of trades and run-on counters in the final 1/3rd were quite impressive, especially that finishing stretch with Finlay's awesome counter of the Hidden Blade into the match-winning Trash Panda for the upset win. Really good work from both men. ***1/2"

[7.0] "I think overall, this is one of the best G1 Climax shows this year so far (G1 isn't that great this year tbh), and not just because there was one additional tournament match - Finlay's win over Ospreay was the biggest thing, it really came across that this was an important moment in Finlay's career. Every tournament match is also worth your time, even Lawlor/Yano."

[7.0] "Pretty good night of G1 action. The G1 block matches were stronger than an average night, and the main event with Finlay v. Ospreay was excellent. Really interesting shake ups in the block action. 7/10"

[6.0] "*Rating is for tournament matches only* Ace main, decent semi-main but everything else was just fine."

[6.0] "A show not incredible, it will not be my favorite but he exists after all... S/o to the Main Event which stole the show."

[6.0] "We have already ten days of Climax, my god. Anyway, this show is still not a big deal. Satisfactory but nothing really more."
