[8.0] "Lowest rating I can give a show with a main event that good. The last ten minutes were absolutely electric. The Junior match was very good but about the floor I expect from an Aoyagi match."

[7.0] "A good show to end the New Year Giant Series. The obvious standout is the Tag Title main event, which was an early MOTY contender. The World Junior Heavyweight title match was also solid, and Atsuki Aoyagi continues to develop nicely. Easy to forget that he's only 23 based on his skill level. Even the Voodoo Murders match was somewhat interesting due to the tension between the Suwama/ Kono and the Saito brothers."
