[7.0] "Mox/El Desperado stole the show with their match and in fact it should have been, because this is the main announcement and all the emotions went there. At the same time, Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA managed to please, as well as Blake Christian (who I hope will appear in NJPW much more often) with Hiromu. In general, there were different types of matches on the show and everyone remembered something, this is a working show where each match was correctly perceived. Of course, the Strong title lacks prestige, which bothers me. In general, the whole show was able to capture my interest."

[6.0] "A pretty average show with poor production, a bad live audience, and an arena in which every light in the building is always on - which prevents said bad audience from ever truly losing themselves in the action. The matches, I felt, weren't anything special but they were fine, and the main event was at least an interesting match-up. It's a shame how small-time this feels considering the names on the card."

[7.0] "A card of 3 distinct acts: the first hour was an average Strong taping, followed by two matches of names drawing in crowds and working at the rate of a house show match, and finally two matches that didn't hold back at the end. This show was worth it for those two alone."

[7.0] "This had a good second half with KUSHIDA vs Shelley being the best match. This show also had less production problems than other recent NJPW US shows."

[8.0] "All these NJPW US PPVs don't have the high standard of production values NJPW Japan has, but they more than make up for it with the ring work. Another good show with no bad matches and a few great ones."

[7.0] "I liked this show, despite being a bit weak in the star-power. The second half of the card was very strong. Definitely felt like a mix between NJPW and the indies. Mox v. Desperado was the best match of the night. 7/10"

[6.0] "The NJPW American shows Pre-Covid felt like big deals and were must-see, but Post-Covid, these shows feel like regular indie cards. Bad production values, weak crowds, and only a few main NJPW stars appearing. Fortunately, the wrestling itself is quality, and we had a solid double-header here, but I do miss the exciting atmosphere those 2017-19 shows had."

[6.0] "Not a great special NJPW american event but still a pretty damned cool one to watch. Satisfactory, nothing more."

[6.0] "Found 2/3 of the undercard a underwhelming, considering the talent involved. But as soon as Hiromu v. Christian started, it was smooth sailing. Shelley v. KUSHIDA was really emotional and my MOTN for sure. Loved the No DQ as well, had a great "Never say die" ending."
