[7.0] "Mit reichlich Verspätung habe ich es doch noch rechtzeitig geschafft mit Big Bang vor der nächsten Korakuan Hall Show anzuschauen. Dass sich die Pheromones auflösen werden, ist direkt die beste Nachricht einer soliden Undercard. Hirata vs. Naruki Doi war feinste DDT Comedy und sehr unterhaltsam, wie ich finde. Das 5 Man Tag Title Match war sehr spaßig aber ich finde Isami Kodaka merkt man langsam auch, dass er älter wird und sich nicht mehr so gut bewegen kann. Das Onita Match war nichts und hätte ich hier auch nicht mehr gebraucht. Onita kann einfach nicht mehr und kann sich kaum noch bewegen. Langweiliges Brawling und ab und zu explodiert was. Das Tag Team Title Match fand ich eigentlich ganz nett und besser als die 5 Punkte, die es hier derzeit hat. Co Mainer war das zweitbeste Match des Abends mit einer guten Dynamik zwischen Takeshita und seinen ehemaligen Stable-Mates. Chris Brookes vs. Shigehiro Irie ist auch mein MOTN. Echt gutes Match, bei dem Iries Explosivität gut zur Geltung kommt und Chris Brookes zeigt, dass es die richtige Wahl war, ihn zum Champion zu machen."

[9.0] "Antonio Honda, Ilusion & Masahiro Takanashi vs Kazuma Sumi, Rukiya & Yuni: Good way to start the event, with some great high flying moments, some funny moments as well, which made for an interesting watch [**3/4]. Akito vs Yuki Ino: This match was decent enough, the comedic moments made for an interesting watch, even the referee looked good in this match as well [***1/4]. HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Soma Takao vs Takeshi Masada, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku: This six man tag team match was decent enough, the in ring work of all six involved was decent enough, and when Kazusada and Koroku got in the ring towards the end, it got better [***1/2]. Kazuki Hirata vs Naruki Doi: While this match had some quite funny moments, there was too much talk, and as I don't understand the Japanese language, it did get confusing [**1/4]. Hideki Okatani, Saki Akai & Yukio Sakaguchi vs Isami Kodaka, Ram Kaicho & Yuko Miyamoto: This was a good match, that had the right pace throughout, good in ring work throughout and a great match for Saki Akai on the road to her retirement match [***3/4]. Atsushi Onita, Toi Kojima & Yoshi Tatsu vs Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi & Yusuke Okada: Enjoyable match with some cool explosion moments, Sanshiro Takagi at the end with the barbed wire sandwich from Atsushi Onita and Yoshi Tatsu was brutal looking [***]. KANON & Minoru Fujita vs Makoto Oishi & Yuji Hino: Good tag team title match, surprising that KANON & Minoru Fujita won the titles, some hard hitting moments [***1/2]. MAO & Yuki Ueno vs Daisuke Sasaki & Konosuke Takeshita: A really enjoyable, watchable throughout match, all four went at it for over 20 minutes and it was paced right throughout and MAO and Yuki Ueno winning was nice to see [****1/2]. Chris Brookes vs Shigehiro Irie: An absolute banger of a main event, Irie kept going right through to the very end but Brookes showed why he is the top champion in DDT Pro, with some brutal looking moments like the Air Raid Crash onto the apron or the Piledriver off the apron through the table, a must watch match, definitely recommend [*****]"

[7.0] "Insgesamt war Big Bang eine solide Show. Der Main Event war das mit Abstand beste Match der Show. Irie und Brookes haben bereits in den vergangenen Aufeinandertreffen bewiesen, dass sie eine gute Chemie miteinander haben. Insofern überraschte es mich nicht, dass dieses Match ebenfalls ziemlich stark war. Der Co Main Event war solide. Gleiches gilt für das 6-Man Tag Team Title Match. Der Rest war okay."

[8.0] "Not at the level of Pater Pan but solid someway. The last two matches and the second one are the peak of this event. The rest but the fourth encounter and the Extreme Title one was solid and fun overall. There was the soul of DDT and at the end of the day it was the most important thing. ***3/4"

[5.0] "This was an odd show where some of the set up for future matches was more interesting than this show itself. Hiromu showing up and Brookes calling Saki Akai to the ring. DDT keep dragging Onita out to shows and I think it has gotten old. I found the semi main event to be too long and dull. The main event is worth your time if you like Chris Brookes."

[3.0] "It looks like any PPV from WWE 2017-2019, when the whole card is in absolutely shitty matches, and only one stands out, not allowing me to say that the event is completely garbage, and in this case, fortunately, this is the main event that doesn't leave a bad aftertaste. I will not give a catastrophic rating because of other things, such as the Hiromu and Hirata segment, Onita's touching farewell to Terry Funk, and the segment with Brookes and Akai, which I was really waiting for, because I wanted this moment for Saki, and the beginning is great. Otherwise, all the matches, except for the main event, are disappointing and frankly bad or rotten. For me, DDT is still the number one promotion, but this prolonged period of despondency may change that."

[8.0] "Like Peter Pan, when DDT does big shows in big venues, it's usually good. 2023 has been a down year for DDT in a lot of respects, particularly with regards to creative, but the top matches all delivered here, and specifically, the co-main event. Yuki Ueno AND MAO feel elevated, and though MAO certainly won't beat TAKE in two weeks, I am willing to bet he'll show out. Also, Akai coming out at the end for the next title shot was a great ending. A mostly good vibes show."
