[7.0] "Steel Cage Match for Japan looks new to me and, in principle, this is a good variety for a fairly stable genre. Here, of course, I would single out Tam Nakano and Natsupoi - they stole the show and I really watched them and understood their conflict and got into the drama and even wanted them to reconcile. Otherwise, the show went its own way and tried to hook the audience with its talents. I put 7 and I think it's a good compliment for Stardom."

[8.0] "The first match was good to warm up the crowd, the 2nd match was enjoyable I liked the team work in it, Himeka vs Mina is good and it just got better from there, the three way tag match I loved, the spots in it were so unique to the match type and the eliminations were so fun. Tam vs Poi was a really intense match and the ending was really good, the final match was such a fun match with a really good final 2. 8/10"

[7.0] "The first half of the show was nothing happening. The second half was consistently pretty good although I don't get the hype about Tam vs NatsuPoi."

[9.0] "1st match is just there, 2nd match is quite decent, 3rd match is good, 4th match is great, semi and main events are phenomenal, two of the best matches Stardom has produced this year. For a B level PPV it doesn't get much better."

[9.0] "The show was not an A-level PPV but it was not supposed to be. It was a specialty PPV built around the two cage matches, both of which were excellent for different reasons. Tam/Poi was for the storytelling match fans and the trios was for the high-action, high-spot fans. The trios match was very good as well but considering who was in it, it was to be expected. This run with that Artist belt has raised Saki Kashima's stock to a level it hasn't been at since her heel turn. Himeka/Mina was a good mid-card singles match and the two openers were as good as van be expected from the experience level of its competitors. This will not be on anyone's year-end list for show of the year but again, it wasn't supposed to be. A going-in filler PPV that overdelivered, and overdelivering has been just what Stardom has done since the return from the initial pandemic."

[8.0] "Good show, Natsupoi and Tam was brutal, those two used the cage in vindictive ways. Rules were a bit confusing though. The six woman match was really fun, some pretty funny parts. The trios title match had some nice callback and sequences. Himeka vs Mina was unexpectedly good. The first two matches were what you expect."

[8.0] "Ever since Stardom started doing PPVs in late 2020, they've never had a single one that was below a 7/10, and almost all of them are an 8/10 or better. This was a filler PPV, but the two cage matches (both with opposite builds) and the Artist title triple threat made it interesting on paper. The undercard was good and did its part, but those three final matches all delivered and did so big-time. The only issue was the pacing. The fact that it took over 2 and a half hours to go from the intro of the 4th match to the aftermath of the 6th and final match of the show is insane, yet understandable given the context. It took 20 minutes to set up the cage, which just emphasizes that they tried to make the structure as sturdy and safe as possible. All of the final three matches went 20+ minutes, but none went over 25. None of them dragged, all were really good/great and they all offered something different. The Artist match exceeded my expectations and the end result was perfect, the Tam/Poi match really felt like a blood feud match with terrific storytelling a long the way, and the main event was hilarious and thrilling due to some crazy spots. Stardom tried something different with this show and it worked. The next PPV is closer to a regular PPV and has two huge title matches, which will be a return to form. But shows like this, which divert from the norm and are centered around a stipulation, are what keeps Stardom fresh to a degree. The Tokyo Super Wars show from last Fall, which was based around the ladder match and the OT/QQ match where Momo turned was a hit, and so was this show. I appreciate the effort and while the show could have been shorter, it worked out in the end."

[7.0] "All matches were exactly at the level that I expected. The only exception is I thought Tam and Natsumi would steal the show, but it did the trios match. I also expected more action from Iwatani, Kamitani and Hayashishita in the main event, but they weren't memorable there. Koguma and Azumi almost worked for everyone. The show didn't feel very important, but left a good feeling."
