[6.0] "Skip the first half of this show. Opener was a fine, basic match **1/4. Susumu vs Shenlong was a storyline-based squash. NR. Yoshino & Kid vs Saito & Mazada was good with the former in control, but dull with Real Hazard leading. **1/2. Tanizaki vs Tozawa vs Kagetora featured a lot of exciting, fast-paced spots. Kagetora looked great. ***1/4. Horiguchi, Kanda, & Muscle vs Cima, Gamma, & Kishiwada was another basic face-vs-heel match, but obviously more interesting than the opener. Muscle (Susumu) was the most interesting factor, though he too obviously gave away his identity by using his normal attacks. Everyone else picked up their efforts in response to him, but they didn't get enough time to properly show off what they were capable of. **3/4. Shingo & Yamato vs Mochizuki & Fuji was pretty good. It occasionally went in too many directions, but the few constants, like Fuji's endearing efforts against his younger opponents, Shingo's great powerhouse work, Mochizuki's fantastically stiff and flashy kicks, and Yamato's exciting firey displays, and both teams' creative tag efforts, were always quite exciting. Shingo and Mochizuki went quite overkill at the end, but it made sense since they were going for an exhaustion-induced double-KO result. ***1/4 - ***1/2. Doi vs Hulk was great. The biggest issue was obviously how Hulk basically outright no-sold Doi's extensive leg work, which is something Hulk has sadly always been guilty of. However, being a die-hard Hulk fan, I was able to look past that and still majorly enjoy his performance because of his fantastic aerial attacks, his beautifully acrobatic and agile movement, his incredible displays of passion and resilience, and his outstanding bumping, all of which mostly covered for his totally inconsistent leg-selling. There were many great teases of him getting the upset win, and he and Doi produced some truly great and creative exchanges and spots in the second half. ****"

[5.0] "Gefiel mir nicht ganz so gut. Der Opener war in Ordnung aber nichts besonderes. Shenlong gegen Yokosuka war eben sehr kurz. MAZADA und Saito gegen Dragon Kid und Yoshino war in Ordnung, hätte ich aber auch stärker erwartet. Der Open The Brave Gate Three Way war auch in Ordnung. Real Hazard gegen Warriors-5 war gut. Das Open The Twin Gate Match war eigentlich nicht schlecht, ging aber viel zu lange und gefiel mir immer weniger. Der Main Event war dann wieder gut."
