[7.0] "Decent to good card. Honestly, none of the matches were too interesting aside from the main event. And while the main event was great, it was one match on a 10 match card. The only reason this isn't lower is because nothing really objectionable or stupid happened in the other matches to further drag the show down. Also, the main event wasn't really strong enough to carry this by itself; it was good but nothing worth going out of your way to see, and certainly not worth the effort of watching an entire show for it."

[8.0] "A good show to close the year, two major highlights, Dan Tamura's victory of the Jr Heavyweight title and the rematch between Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kento Miyahara. Dan has a great match against El Lindaman. There is a difference in age and experience between the two but Lindaman is very capable of guiding Tamura who continues to perform better and better. The rematch between Nakajima and Miyahara is fantastic, a MOTY contender, at least for pureresu. Nakajima makes a special entrance using Ali Boma Ye as the theme song. The match starts slow but when it explodes the two rivals kick and knee each other until they are exhausted. Nakajima continues to alternate the technique with striking and this gives him an advantage over Kento who suffers so much in one arm that Nakajima after a Northern Lights Bomb uses an Armbar to end the match. These are the two most important matches but the whole show is solid, sufficient debut in All Japan from Charlie Dempsey, interesting the team between him and Yuma Anzai. A fusion between two different style of technical wrestling."

"This marked my first time watching an AJPW show, spurred by my curiosity about Charlie Demsey's excursion. What a delightful surprise! The show was incredibly diverse and enjoyable. I discovered wrestlers like Katsuhiko Nakajima, Rising HAYATO, and Yuki Ueno, becoming an instant fan. The main event was fantastic! It definitely made me a fan, and I'll be continuing to watch!"

[8.0] "Good show capped off by an excellent MOTY contender. Everything that needed to deliver did and nothing on the undercard was bad. 8/10"

[8.0] "While I'd give the overall card a 6, the main event is my match of the year; it feels big and lives up to that big feeling throughout."

[8.0] "Great show. The variety was really surprising for AJPW. Toy Kojima & Yuki Ueno vs Atsuki Aoyagi & HAYATO was probably my favourite on the undercard. Charlie Dempsey was pretty poor for the hype. The main event was really good. Nakajima has really been able to get creative since leaving NOAH."

[8.0] "It has a must watch match on top and everything below is either an enjoyable way to pass the time to very good. AJPW is on fire and it such a shame the shadow of WWE haunts it."
