[6.0] "The show hurts due to its repetitive presentation which consists of giving the main event super high priority and then have few serious semi events and then have your undercard which feels like filler. The highlights of the shows are definitely the last three matches. But since this is a 11 matches card, the rest feels kinda your Monday night Raw showcase matches when their isn't a ppv/PLE. The first two singles matches are okish, then we have the comedic 6 man tag match featuring wrestlers past their prime(this was jumbo's last match before retiring due to cancer) and then the rest tag matches are basically fillers, with less heat and no build up. AJPW had a difficult task to sell out the dome and outshine NJPW but they fails miserably. But by far this is their best Tokyo dome show, as they would host 3 more shows in Tokyo dome. This event would have been much better if atleast more then one title where defended. But hey, it's kawada's night as his victory against misawa was showcased in a great way and the hase/jun exploder-suplex was awesome."

[5.0] "This is a pretty mixed show. For one, the main event with Misawa/Kawada is great.... abet not as good as the rest of their main bouts, even their NOAH one I'd put above it, mostly because of Misawa's flagging physical condition: this would really be the start of his downturn and while he'd pick up to the quality he was in his prime at points, he would never quite be the GOAT consistency he was defined by in prior years. The issue is the rest of the card: GET v Hansen and Vader is stiff but not really compelling, Hase v Akiyama is a huge letdown (way too many rest holds! ) and the rest is either decent (Triangle, Taue vs the FMW guys) forgettable (Headhunters, Gedo/Jado) or downright poor (everything else outside of the Mossman bout, basically) and it is a REAL slog getting through. I'd suggest skipping most of this and picking out the ones suggested above. As a card, it's not very good at all. It would take a while until Misawa and co would make a consistently watchable undercard and Jr division in NOAH and this was a good reminder of how things were before."
