[8.0] "The best New Japan Strong PPV yet. The women's matches were so good We also got to see Okada and Moxley in the same ring. They building up the Okada Moxley Forbidden Door Ospreay Tanahashi great. was match kinda for Tanahashi Shed Juice Robinson match was Enjoyed Liked the too it Storm She needs to break from Outxasts trash. in AEW The main event lot. cameo was great. Mone got injured in the match so that sucks. But I'm so happy for Willow. She radiates a very heartwarming and wholesome energy and seeing her win the Strong Women's Title feels so good She deserves it. I hope Tony Khan uses her properly and does not waste her like Jaine Hayter."

[8.0] "Great show from top to bottom, that had a lot of matches that really overdelivered particularly on the first half. Nothing blowaway MOTY caliber matches but, one of the most consistently entertaining shows I've seen this year"

[8.0] "A very strong show throughout. In two of the three co-mains, we get great matches in BCC/Shota vs. CHAOS and Ospreay vs. Tanahashi. The third main was also good, and nice to see Willow get a big moment in the last match, though unfortunate that it comes along with a legitimate injury to Mercedes. The few complaints can largely come down to nitpicks - KENTA vs. Hikuleo was probably the worst match on the card, but still solid with some decent old-school heel work from KENTA, and Juice vs. Rosser was a solid brawl in service to a terrible storyline. But the show was a really good watch overall."

[4.0] "I can't put more on a show with a sexual assault sequence. This kind of stupidity won't change the image of wrestling. The opening tag, like the 3Man Tag, was fun to follow, without turning it into anything unforgettable. For the rest, the matches were good overall. In particular, the first two matches of the women's tournament and the semi-final for the US title. The rest did the job, even if Hikuleo and Kenta rested a little on the final spot. Finally, Mercedes' injury and the strange ending left a little taste of waste, but it was a fine women's tournament."

[8.0] "Bring back NJPW STRONG the TV show. That show was great with a lot of good to great wrestling matches. Based on their recent history with each other, I would like to see Toni Storm challenge Willow Nightingale for the NJPW STRONG Women's Title. Get well soon to Mercedes Mone & Mark Davis."

[9.0] "I honestly did not expect this PPV to hit this hard but all the matches were solid with a couple of great matches, storyline progression for NJPW, AEW & ROH and some great OMG moments. None of the matches were slow or weak and almost no botches. The injury in main event and the referee screw-up seemed to be only negatives. Hopefully AEW pushes Willow and see her as legit main-event talent. Good luck to Mercedes and Mark Davis."

[9.0] "Maybe New Japan best showing in America, at least since the pandemic/AEW started. The trios match was as good as six man tags get building several matches for future shows and the Strong Women's Championship tournament was a fantastic backbone for the show. Add in the opening tag that was a hell of a lot of fun and the fact that nothing really stunk and you have one of the best New Japan shows of the year."

[8.0] "A very good US show for New Japan, topped off with a massive upset win for Willow Nightingale over Mercedes Moné, who looked like she got injured leading to the finish. Will Ospreay got a step closer to Kenny Omega, we might be getting Jon Moxley vs. Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door, KENTA won back the Openweight Title and got challenged by Eddie Kingston, Aussie Open had to vacate both their titles due to Mark Davis's injury, and another Aussie showed up, with Toni Storm standing by her man and helping Juice Robinson win. All that plus impressive showings by both Stephanie Vaquer and Momo Kohgo."

[9.0] "GREAT SHOW FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. Loved every part but i think Mercedes may have been hurt in the main event but still a great match. Rosser may be leaving nooj based on the post match. Same with Hikuleo since he just won the title and then immeaditly lost it. But defenitly a great show. MOTN: Six man tag- this match was incredible espescially since it basically confirmed Okada vs Mox for FD II. 8.5/10 Show overall"
