I really would love to hear more of his commentary & it started my fandom for him as a wrestler. Entertaining matches to watch. I really like the venue, looks pretty nice to watch wrestling."

[8.0] "It was a good enough event.The best matches was Akira vs Fujita and El Desperado vs Titan and both was very good.Takahashi vs Kushida was good enough but of course they can give better matches.All the others matches wasn't special but i find them good.It was surprise for me also that both members of HoT lost their matches."

[7.0] "Undercard hurt a great opening night of the Best of the Super Juniors, Titan and Despy are match of the night for sure"

[6.0] "The main event was very good, but the first to BOSJ matches were dull and the other two were simply decent. Overall, a good start to the tournament. [MOTN: El Desperado vs. Titan]"

[6.0] "Finally I started seeing BOSJ after a month and this was a good way to kick it out. The MOTN was Fujita vs Akira but also the main-event wasn't short of great. Booking two HoT matches back to back is never a great idea though and this was no exception. ***1/4"

[6.0] "First Night of BOSJ 32 in the books and it started off not bad. Nick Wayne vs. SHO and Dragon Dia vs. Kanemaru were alright I do prefer Dia vs. Kanemaru as it felt like the pacing was better and some moments were memorable like Dia almost eating shit on that Asai moonsault. Akira vs. Fujita was incredible, two future stars going head to head in a very aggressive manner which I liked. Kushida vs. Takahashi worked well and make sense with their catalog of matches. Desperado vs. Titan ending the event off on a good note, very impressed with Titan everything about him was great."

[7.0] "Fujita/Akira and Titan/Despy were the two standouts. Solid night of matches - Wayne and Dia looked good against HOT as well. Good start to the tournament!"

[5.0] "Poor opening night of the BOSJ. Only the Nick Wayne and Sho match was decent. The main event had potential but never seemed to kick into second gear."

[7.0] "A real fun show, no bangers so to speak but there was enough to enjoy and it was a fairly easy watch, Kevin Knight was actually kinda good on commentary too. All matches were fun to very good apart from the SHO match"

[7.0] "Pretty good opener to the tournament, top three matches all delivered, Takahashi/KUSHIDA was my match of the night"

[7.0] "Solid night of action. The 5 block matches were decent-good. Wayne vs SHO (***): Solid match that was surprisingly better then I anticipated with some good arm work. Dia vs Kanemaru (**.75): Decent match. Dia forgot to sell the knee at points but it was overall a solid enough match. Fujita vs Akira (****.25): Loved this match. Should've went a little longer but it was still really good for what it had and I desperately want to see these guys face off again. Hiromu vs Kushida (***.75): This wasn't as good as previous matches in their rivalry, but still pretty good. Despe vs Titan (****.25): Good main event. These guys always deliver and this was no exception."

[7.0] "Solid preview matches followed by two good cup matches and then finished by threee great cup matches"

[6.0] "An alright night 1 of the tournament with a couple of surprise wins in play here and a couple of decent matches the undercard was alright and the majority of tournament matches were okay. Robbie X & Taiji Ishimori vs Katsuya Murashima & Ninja Mack: A decent level of high flying offense as a warm up for the BOSJ tournament to get underway, an okay opener but served it's purpose of being the opening match and a preview for Mack vs X [**]. Kevin Knight, Master Wato & Ryusuke Taguchi vs MAO, Shoma Kato & Tiger Mask: Good to see Kato back after last competing in January of this year, the match was fine as an undercard multi man match, nothing special happened [**1/4]. Toru Yano & YOH vs Hartley Jackson & Robbie Eagles: Not a bad match, but skippable, while we may have viewed a slight preview for Eagles vs YOH, it was average at best [**]. Nick Wayne vs SHO: SHO may have typical HoT tactics a couple of times, Wayne getting the win here was surprising to see, the match was fine but could have been better as these two are capable of delivering better matches [**3/4]. Dragon Dia vs Yoshinobu Kanemaru: Kanemaru tried to overcome the offense of Dia by targeting the leg and knee of Dia, the match was okay a bit better than I expected [**3/4]. Kosei Fujita vs Francesco Akira: Was we expecting this to be on Night 1 probably not but it did deliver, these two have great chemistry and it showed here with a solid back and forth match with Fujita getting a decent win [***3/4]. Hiromu Takahashi vs KUSHIDA: While this may have been a bit enjoyable, this was disappointing effort from both of these, not their best match compared to previous encounters they have had, Hiromu winning was not a surprise [***]. El Desperado vs Titan: Best B Block match of the show, they have great chemistry and Despy tried to submit Titan until he finally submitted which was interesting but also leaves room for another match down the road [***1/2]"

[7.0] "Great night 1 and a great way to start the match. There were two matches that I'm shure when the tournament ends im gonna put in the conversation of Match Of The Tournament. I enjoyed all matches in this night, and as a person who doesn't really watch that much jr matches these days im really excited for the rest of the matches"

[7.0] "Solid start to the tournament although no must-see matches. The HoT bouts were fine for what they are now, Hiromu vs Kushida was disappointing compared to past efforts, and the other two were great although not necessarily anything you'll remember at the end of the year."

[7.0] "A super good first day of the Best of Super Junior. Quite a few good matches, different booking from what I was expecting. In the end, it was good. Well, SHO, like every year, is garbage, but oh well, you deal with it."
