[7.0] "This was a bit of a weird show. Main event is fantastic and I really liked the Artist title match. Saya's defense was pretty run of the mill, I wanted a bit of a more exciting opponent for Dream Queendom especially since there wasn't a world where Umesaki would've won but she's a good wrestler. Sorry Yuu but Neo Stardom Army sucked. KAIRI and Utami had a weird stipulation so I'm kinda glad it was a draw but as a match it wasn't much. I liked Mina and Unagi's return."

[7.0] "I'm very happy to see that women's wrestling is appreciated and well rated on this site because it's not always the case, especially when I see the ratings for women's matches in AEW and WWE. However, I won't go higher than a 7 for this show. The main event was very good (8.5), the defeat of Nakano and Natsupoi was surprising (8) and the opener was quite nice. For the rest, the construction was not always fantastic and the matches, without being bad, did not exceed 7. Not to mention the bad rumble at the beginning. So, unless I missed some great angles, I don't really see how to give a grade beyond this 7/10 (3* 1/2)."

[6.0] "Outstanding main event, but the rest of the card was pretty disappointing with a bunch of random and heatless matches with little build or starpower. When Stardom had better cards on B-Level PPVs in 2022, this certainly didn't feel like a Sumo Hall level show. But it's worth repeating that the main event was an easy MOTYC, and one of the best matches in Stardom's history."

[10.0] "Year events never let us down. Best show of the year definitely. Even ig Syuri vs Giulia almost hit 5 stars we also have to give credit to Azumi vs Shimizu. And this shows again how consistent Azumi is pulling out 4 stars out of a 9-minute match. Can't wait for 2023. It's going to be a good year."

[10.0] "Great ending for a great year. Stardom is on a roll and 2023 is going to be out of this world. The Era of Giulia is here and it is beautiful."

[8.0] "An incredible main and most other matches in the second half were good with the exception of Tall Saya vs Umesaki which was decent. The first half was whatever but overall this was a strong end to the year by what has been easily the promotion of the year."

[9.0] "Great Show. High Speed Title Match was a great way to start the show (***1/2), 6 Woman Tag Team Match was entertaining and great (**1/2), Thekla & Mai Sakurai vs Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka was a decent match (***), Three Way Tag Team Match was okay least favourite match of the show (*3/4), KAIRI vs Utami Hayashishita was a great match despite the draw result, Hayashishita should be considered a potential contender for the IWGP Women's Title (****), Artist Of Stardom Title Match was a great hardcore match with lot of brutal spots (***1/2), Goddesses Of Stardom Title Match was good (***1/4), Wonder Of Stardom Title Match was a great secondary Title Match, they had great chemistry (****), World Of Stardom Title Match was the best women's match of 2022 and can't believe Guilia won the title (*****)"

"Excellent show! I saw it without all the knowledge of the current storylines and everything was clear, well presented. Matches are between good and excellent. You won't waste your time to watch it!"

[7.0] "On paper this was a one match show, and I think every wrestler on the undercard also knew that so they worked very hard to make their matches not feel like filler - AZM's individual performance was great, STARS vs. STARS was an exciting sprint where every wrestler showed their personality, and Mina Shirakawa with Thekla worked very hard to make Mina Shirakawa's post-match announcement/introduction of her new stable-mates a big deal. 3-way Tag was just there, KAIRI vs. Utami was a nice little match, but those last 15 seconds overshadowed everything, Nakano/Natsupoi vs. Takahashi/Yuu was good enough but nothing special (Yuu just feels out of place in STARDOM for whatever reason) and Kamitani/Umesaki, as expected, was the worst match on the show. If you're cherry-picking watch the Main Event (obviously), but also don't skip Oedo Tai vs. Prominence. I can't say that this is a must-see show, but if you're a newcomer, this show should be a decent enough introduction to STARDOM if you don't raise your expectations too high. STARDOM had a stage that covered off a good amount of seats, and to me it made the entire show feel smaller compared to previous STARDOM Ryogoku Sumo Hall shows. Hopefully they'll present Yokohama Arena is a big deal - oh, yeah, big news story here was STARDOM's announcement that they're gonna run Yokohama Arena on April 23rd 2023, that's pretty wild."

"Overall this end of year Stardom show was a solid end to 2022. To be honest I was more interested in the matches that were later and more important such as the title matches but the earlier match with AZM defending her High Speed title was good match to watch. The matches I liked on this show were Goddesses Of Stardom Match. I was surprised Nanae Takahashi and Yuu won the belts. I really enjoyed watching Yuu wrestle, for a girl her size. The way she uses her strength and body when wrestling was so good. She can hit a cannonball in the corner or jump up and down on the rope. Hit an amazing senton. The other match I really enjoyed watch was the main event for the World Of Stardom belt between Giulia and Syuri. Due to their history in Donna Del Mondo, Both Syuri and Giulia delivered. I was surprised that Giulia was being more aggressive and hitting kicks and strikes to a well-experienced MMA Fighter like Syuri. I am glad Giulia won the Red Belt. I am excited to support an Italian and Japanese woman like herself in 2023. I am excited to get back in Stardom next year. Let's hope for good things for Stardom Wrestling."

[9.0] "My first ever live watched from A to Z Stardom, and I honestly have to say, I was entertained from A to Z. I can say after this event that I'm staying with Stardom for longer, these womans are putting better matches than some of the WWE or AEW matches, such a wholesome show it was, every match was atleast a *** 1/2 stars for me, I swear Giulia and Syuri, Utami and KAIRI are my favorites from this event, also loved the hardcore match stuff, also the Cosmic Angels betrayal by Shirakawa, it hit me not gonna lie when Unagi was standing there on the ramp watching how Shirakawa with them girls were in the ring, just simply almost perfect show, loved it."

[8.0] "Carried by the strength of a great main event, this was a good show. The tag title match told a great story. And despite the finish, this may have been Kairi's best match since her return. The hardcore trios match and the White Belt match were the weaker aspects. But every individual seemed to step up across the board."

[9.0] "Perhaps the best Stardom show of the year, I would rate it 10 if the dynamics of "own vs. stranger", which destroyed the intrigue in two matches. Otherwise, it was cool, not a single really bad match, a lot of great matches, and the legendary main event at the end reinforces a good impression (except for the fear that Giulia could get injured, given her state of health at the end)."

[9.0] "An extremely long but terrific show to end another big year for Stardom. The results may bother quite a few Stardom fans, and I'd be lying if I said I liked more than a handful of them, but there's no denying that the quality of matches was largely phenomenal. The rumble was fun for what it was, while HIkari Shimizu and AZM did a really good job with their match. The STARS tag match was entertaining and funny, while Mina's return match was good, heated and had a heartbreaking and puzzling aftermath. The #1 contender's match was ten minutes of action and Kairi/Utami was a decent appetizer for a potential title match, albeit with a predictable outcome. The hardcore match was absolutely amazing, and the tag title match was as well, even if I hate the result of one of them. The Wonder title match was fine but unnecessary. The main event was one of the best joshi matches of this generation and a bonafide MOTY contender. It was full of Stardom tropes, but it was an epic nonetheless. It's not an easy show to watch in a single sitting due to its length, but if you have the time and don't let booking decisions get to you, check this show out and enjoy the greatness of it."

[8.0] "A very good show all round, not Stardom's best but every other match was always going to be overshadowed by that incredible main event. Have to knock a point off for one thing though: Stardom is now the fourth biggest wrestling promotion on the planet; for them to not offer english commentary at this point is criminal!"
