2 | 17.06.2025 | WAKA Flockanoku | 7.0 | Block B of the BOSJ had a much stronger opening night than Block A. Ninja Mack creates a viral gif, MAO gets his first true showcase singles match against the very talented Kevin Knight, and Taguchi and Ishimori bring out some fire that I almost forgot both men can bring out. A very fun night overall. [MOTN: Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Taiji Ishimori] |

4 | 07.06.2025 | Oswuold | 7.0 | Decent show, every tournament match was good and there were memorable spots like Ninja Mack's and one feel good moment of an ending with Taguchi proving who he can really be. The multimen tag were just a big bunch of nothing there but they were short at least. ***1/2 |

8 | 27.05.2025 | CDProsPro | 9.0 | The first show was solid but the second has started the tour off right. First of all, the young lions like Kato and Katsuya has added some creative mass in their limited range in the system. Second, NINJA MACK AND ROBBIE X. So much great action and the next match had even more to it MAO/Kevin Knight kicked ass and in my opinion is the match of the tournament so far. Clark Connors took Master Wato to school but Wato definitely doing well with the score chart and main event battles. Robbie Eagles vs YOH was stellar and go hard on the limb psychology. The homeboys Taguchi/Ishimori given the fans especially free school kids a treat in the main event. Great action all across the entire card. Good crowd as well. |

11 | 23.05.2025 | MaveDeltzer | 5.0 | The matches on this show aren't terrible but the arena, small crowd, general lack of noise, and having every light in the building always on drags it down. I must sound like a broken record with this stuff but shows like this have an atmosphere akin to some kind of school sports hall event with a few parents making up the audience. It's not exciting and it makes most of the matches feel hollow. |

14 | 18.05.2025 | 1WingedWarDog | 8.0 | Very good showing by all the wrestlers involved, lots of hometown (or homeprefecture ig) heroes getting big pops from the crowd which is really fun to hear. The Ninja Mack backflip spot was a major highlight of the night and is already exploding on social media, which is great because both wrestlers deserve more attention. Mao v Kevin Knight was my favorite match on the card but Clark Connors vs Master Wato was a really fun brawl with some neat spots. Very good show, makes me even more excited for what will unfold during the rest of the tournament. |

22 | 14.05.2025 | Rossg17 | 7.0 | Francesco Akira & Jakob Austin Young vs Dragon Dia & Katsuya Murashima: Akira and Dia had some solid exchanges that showcased what they can do ahead of their tournament match on Night 7, Murashima and JAY were okay [**]. Daiki Nagai & Nick Wayne vs El Desperado & Shoma Kato: Wayne is being treated the right way within his first tour with NJPW and that is good to see, another solid preview match [**1/4]. Hiromu Takahashi & Shingo Takagi vs Hartley Jackson & Robbie Eagles: A fine tag match to end out the undercard matches on this card, nothing special and Shingo picked up the win by pinning Jackson [**1/4]. Ninja Mack vs Robbie X: A fine little match within the tournament, the main highlight being the Sasuke Special spot halfway across the arena, the ending was worked just right and was a nice way to end the match, for the most part the match was nothing special [**1/2]. MAO vs Kevin Knight: I enjoyed this match more than I expected to, Knight showed his charisma and MAO had a nice showing in his first BOSJ tournament match, they had some solid exchanges [***]. Clark Connors vs Master Wato: The weaker of the block matches on the card, did not feel the interest I thought I would have done, there was hardly any chemistry there which made for a lacklustre viewing [**1/2]. Robbie Eagles vs YOH: Every time these two step into the ring opposite each other whether in Singles or Tag Team matches, it is safe to say these two will have a great match and no exception here, Eagles targeted the leg of YOH which worked in the end with the Ron Miller Special which caused YOH to tap out, YOH had a great showing as well [****]. Ryusuke Taguchi vs Taiji Ishimori: Taguchi really surprised me in this one with the tenacity and fire he brought with him, he did have a few moments of comedic spots but for the most part he was on point, Ishimori gave a really good competitive fight but ultimately tapped out [****1/4] |

24 | 14.05.2025 | Hazem | 8.0 | Another easy watch and this time I think all matches were at least fun and some were very good, no exceptions. The crowd seemed much more lively too which helps a ton, overall a super solid night 2 of BOSJ even if we're yet to have a proper GREAT match yet but this is a long tournament and we'll get there eventually. |

29 | 13.05.2025 | Chefi | 8.0 | Great second night of action. Ninja vs X (***.75): Good sprint with a viral moment and nasty looking finish. MAO vs Knight (****): Absolutely enjoyed the athletic back and forth between these guys. The last few minutes were awesome. Connors vs Wato (***.5): Weakest block match of the night but even then it was a neat match where Wato was able to keep up with the brawling with Connors. Eagles vs YOH (***.5): Solid final stretch, not enough leg selling from YOH. Was hoping it would be good considering their match from BOSJ 30 was awesome. Taguchi vs Ishimori (****.25): Taguchi showed up with more seriousness then usual and he had a banger against Ishimori. Shocked to see Taguchi win but maybe this is his last BOSJ. |
30 | 13.05.2025 | packjutney | 8.0 | Definitely the stronger night of BOSJ so far - MAO/Jet and Robbie/YOH were two of my favorites. Taguchi turning back the clock was awesome too. Excited for night 3! |

38 | 12.05.2025 | screwokada | 6.0 | While I didn't think this was quite as good as the previous night there was some good action to be sure. Eagles/YOH was my match of the night but Knight/MAO & Mack/Eagles also delivered. |
39 | 12.05.2025 | VINCEoWrestling | 7.0 | A super second day of the tournament. Only good matches with a super main event. Despite the clear lack of big names on this second day. Truly, what a pleasure this start of the tournament is. |
40 | 12.05.2025 | ahmed | 7.0 | this was a nice night. I didn't watch the first 3 tag matches but i enjoyed the BOSJ matches, Ninja Mack VS Robbie x was my favirote |
41 | 12.05.2025 | Chris | 7.0 | I skipped the opening 3 tag matches but all of the tournament matches were at least good. The crazy Mack v X match and the main event are your recommendations if you are short of time or not a BOTSJ completist. |
42 | 11.05.2025 | Robin Heinzerling | 8.0 | Great night with three solid preview matches, followed by five great BosJ matches. Personal favourite was Wato v Connors |
