[7.0] "Crowd was into it. Nothing really stood out. Only negative was Aigle Blanc who really couldn't do his spots very well and almost messed up the finish."
[7.0] "Whilst there's nothing on this show specifically going out of your way to see, this was three hours of solid singles matches with an excellent crowd. Really good start to the Carnival and looking forward to following the rest of the tournament."
[5.0] "The show was great. The Honda vs rei, vecchio vs Blanc was good, the final two were great, the rest felt filler-ish. Well it's day 1 so it isn't serious right now like the final days would be"
[7.0] "The undercard was mostly fine but the final two matches were good, particularly the main event with Suzuki and Miyahara. The only match I was down on was DBS Jr. and Yoshida."
"I thought the top 2 matches delivered. Both really strong , but worked differently. The rest of the card was just there. That DBS jr match was rough."
[7.0] "Fine show even if the Kikuta/Aoyagi match let me down a little not much prior knowledge on mashimo but he was great and made jun look good too. A block is looking like the much stronger block this year but we will have to wait and see recommendations: Saito/Mashimo and Miyahara/Suzuki"
[7.0] "Solid start to the Champion Carnival 2025. A good mix of styles throughout the card, with some standout performances and a hot crowd. Nothing mind-blowing, but a very watchable show that sets the tone nicely for the rest of the tour. Excited to see how the blocks unfold!"
