[8.0] "In diesem Countdown To Over Drive 2022 Online-Stream wurden nur die beiden Matches gezeigt was beides auch klares Main Show Material ist besonders das Main Event hier. Zu beiden mehr im Guide, 8 sehr starke Punkte."
[7.0] "Die Pre-Show beginnt mit einem soliden Six Way Scramble Match. Nette Action, viele Spots, wenig Gehalt, kann man in einer Pre-Show gerne so bringen, immerhin hatte man mit Bailey und King zwei Männer im Match, die aktuell eine kleine Fehde miteinander haben. Das Tag Team Title Contendership Match war dann nochmal klar besser und hat wirklich Spaß gemacht und macht mir auch Lust auf den PPV. The MCMG gewinnen, was mir persönlich auch lieber ist, aber eigentlich ist es egal, wer der nächste Contender ist. Insgesamt war das eine gute Pre-Show"
[6.0] "We entertained well before the main course and even showed an important match for the 1st contender. Well, the main thing in this case is to attract viewers and cheer up. Solid pre-show!"
[7.0] "The six-way scramble was a fun sprint where it had little purpose to happen but could be progressed in the future. Swann winning restored value on his stance in the roster while the story between Bailey & King advanced well. MCMG & BC had another stellar fiesta of tag team action with raised stakes and the right team won. I'm happy that MCMG are back where they belong usually while Ace & Bey are set to rock in Japan again as part of the Juniors tag tourney."
[7.0] "These were both quality matches that you should check out, particularly if you're into New Japan, since Ace and Bey are coming over for the Jr Tag League and Uemura is their hot prospect. A very fun and easy half hour watch."
[6.0] "Good things came from this pre show: two extremely interesting matches. The fact is this, why to not put at least the tag one in the ppv itself? Dunno, good for sure the countdown itself."
