[9.0] "It was a very good event.The best match of the night was Mercedes vs Momo, and unfortunately Momo didn't win the title.ZSJ vs Titan, Hiromu vs Ali and Kidd vs Rush was all very good matches.Kidd is n't only a mad man but the future of NJPW and i really hope he stays at least for a long time with the company because he has a very bright future and for sure he will be one of the key wrestlers of New Japan in the future."

[7.0] "This started as a very average show, but gradually picked up a bit in its second half. Four really good matches that are worth seeing: Mone vs Watanabe may have been one of the best Mone matches in her current AEW/NJPW run; Kidd vs Rush was an enjoyable clash of styles; Hiromu vs Ali improved on their previous match and had some great crowd banter from Ali, and ZSJ vs Titan was just a good match overall with Titan coming off looking very good in defeat. While not as vital to seek out, I did enjoy the TMDK vs Hechichero & Virus Tag Title match as well. Naito vs TJP mainly showed how much Naito has deteriorated recently, especially when he's in t-shirt mode. The rest was inoffensive but not really noteworthy. All things considered, I'd call it a 6.5 show, but I'll round it up."

[7.0] "The undercard for this show went on a roller coaster of quality, but it evened out more into a slow and steady climb starting with the STRONG tag title match. Still, I think the peak of the show was on the undercard. Also, as an aside, the overall presentation quality of these US NJPW shows feels so far below what NJPW is capable of. I really wish they'd work on making these shows more presentable. [MOTN: Titan vs. Zack Sabre Jr.]"

[6.0] "Normal show overall, some matches were peak but the main-event being mid respect the expectations didn't help. MOTN was absolutely Kidd vs Rush and the only match I would really reccomend from the whole show. STRONG show are always kinda a mixed bad though. ***1/4"

[3.0] "Yeah I don't know about modern NJPW, at this point the best thing about their company are there foreign wrestlers. At least the commentary is good, but the events are mostly filler and then a divisive main event. I don't know anymore, especially with Ospreay and Omega both gone"

[8.0] "Another NJPW of America show that overdelivers despite low expectations going in. It felt like the show kept getting better match after match. The opening 3 way tag team bout showcased all three tandems well with unexpected winner in Tanahashi & Ishii. I really felt like GYV had this one, but Ishii & Ace winning was a nice surprise. Good match that was well worked by everyone involved (***1/2). The trios match between Hontai/CHAOS vs BC War Dogs was a traditional NJPW multi-man match that helped to build HASHI/Finlay at Destruction, while at the same time, it set up Kevin Knight & possibly KUSHIDA getting a crack at Moloney & Connors for the IWGP Jr Tag Titles. Knight is always a highlight and was the standout here (***). Dirty Work vs WCWC was another fun match that used the No DQ stipulation very well. I am liking the pairing of former rivals Lawlor & Rosser a lot more than I thought I would (***1/4). Zack Sabre Jr. vs Titan was a brilliant technical wrestling clinic that once again proved why ZSJ is a top 5 wrestler in the world today. His ability to make all his complicated transitions and mat work look so smooth and fluid is magical to watch. Titan has been a great addition to LIJ and NJPW's Jr. division. This bout delivered in spades (****). Tetsuya Naito vs TJP was a lot better than I thought it would be. T-shirt Naito always brings my expectations down, but he still was serviceable here. TJP really kept the energy up and made this entertaining (***). TMDK vs Virus & Hechicero was a pretty good styles clash. Both teams meshed well and proved why Haste & Nicholls are so underrated as a duo. May their reign be long and prosperous (***1/4). Hiromu Takahashi vs Mustafa Ali told a very good story around their individual characters and delivered a match that I thought was better than their first encounter at Windy City Riot. I think they can once again build off this one and deliver an even stronger bout in Japan. Fingers crossed for Ali in BOSJ 32 (****). Gabe Kidd vs Lio Rush was a super fun bruiser vs speedster match. Lio's ability to move so fast around the ring vs. Gabe's battering style made for a blast to watch. Rush showing off his resilence late really had the fans in attendance gripped on every nearfall down the stretch and made Kidd putting him away that much satisfying. Gabe has improved by leaps and bounds. This bout was another example of why he's the perfect Openweight Champion. Hoping for him to grab the NEVER Title and become the undisputed Openweight king by WK19 (****). Mercedes Mone vs Momo Watanabe was an excellent main event that erased our memories of the disappointing clash for Mone w/Britt Baker at All In. When Mercedes is across the ring from a Japanese talent, she is poised and brings an extra flair/spark to her matches. Momo proved why she might be the most underrated talent on the STARDOM roster. Mixing up with Mercedes gave her a chance to show her charisma and presence in a big match. The fans were invested into this one and Mone showed why she is such an important big match performer. She excels in the main event spotlight and delivered another gem here (****1/4)."

[9.0] "This was an awesome show with great matches. The environment there live was electric almost the whole show. The relatively small crowd was in it all the way through the end. There were several very memorable matches here, my favorite was Gabe Kidd vs Lio Rush. The wrestling here was top notch. I really liked the pacing of matches too - very little time in between so the crowd didn't have time to settle down. One of the best shows I've ever been to."

[6.0] "A solid but not overly memorable show from New Japan here. Gabe Kidd/Lio Rush was my MOTN with Mercedes/Momo, Himoru/Ali, and ZSJ/Titan also being enjoyable. Not a bad show but not the most consequential show either."

[7.0] "I thought this was a really strong card overall, no bad matches and the only lowlight was the TJP vs Naito matchup which I would still call above average. The highlights were the semi-main and main, as well as the tag title match between TMDK and Hechicero/Virus. Worth a watch although it was perhaps lacking importance for a full price PPV."

[8.0] "Was there live. I thought a good show on paper that overdelivered, with a very good crowd. Nothing even approached bad. Highlights of the night were ZSJ/Titan, Hiromu/Ali, Kidd/Rush and Mercedes/Momo."

[6.0] "Good show but nothing to special going on. The only two matches I would actually recommend are Takahashi vs. Ali and Titan vs. ZSJ. The only really underwhelming match to me was the BCG 6 Men Tag."
