[7.0] "As a retirement show, it was a good one... yeah, you could claim this was more a "Entrances Show" then nothing... but they delivered and final goodbye to one of the most famous gimmicks around the globe. "Bye bye Muta! ""

[7.0] "The main event was easily the most interesting match on paper, as Muta - in his final in-ring appearance under that guise, teams with his old WCW rival Sting and Sting's current AEW protege Allin to exorcise his demon against Hakushi and his cohorts. The match worked well around Muta's physical limitations to tell a great, entertaining story, and while a parallel can be drawn to the main event at Ric Flair's Last Match, the end result here came off far better. The rest of the card was solid if not spectacular, with a fun eight-man tag in the semi-main, Sonny Onoo appearing alongside Ultimo Dragon for his six-man (where'd Sonny get one of those cameras in 2023? ) and solid grappling between Thatcher and Mochizuki among other particular highlights."

[10.0] "Unlike many similar shows, there are no fillers here, each match fulfills its role, and each can be watched. Perfect timings, great ways to finish each of the matches, all the fights don't merge into one, and they are easy to distinguish from each other. The atmosphere is great, NOAH's big events always seem like art from the director's side, and the magnificent view of the arena and the scenery enhance this feeling. Separately, it is worth noting the invited wrestlers, and although the apotheosis will happen at the last Keiji Muto's show, but here I was glad to see Joshi, especially these four, and of course Ultimo. The final match, for which the audience gathered, looked like a movie from beginning to end, everyone was great, Darby got the moment of a lifetime by holding the first match in Japan at this level (Allin definitely succeeded in this life, as for a person who lived in a car), and Hakushi and Muta finally completed their story in the way that seemed to them the most correct. A great show, from which I did not expect such a terrific level."

[8.0] "It was a party basically. What the Ric Flair event was in the US, here we have a serious show with solid matches from start to finish."

[7.0] "What a fast show. Really flew by. NOAH's production is unmatched in Japan. Excellent stage, lighting, cameras, etc. Opener was a little dull. Women's match was fun, but they seemed a little nervous. All the next few matches felt like standard NOAH until Sonny Onoo came out with Ultimo Dragon. I think this show was more about entrances than match quality. The main event itself had almost 30 minutes of entrances. Not a lot to expect from the main event with some many seniors. Shame the rope walk was botched. Still fun just no where near the Muta vs Nakamura match."
