[8.0] "So many Puro shows post-pandemic felt, and really were, attempts to bring in a new audience, but this particular show came across as an invitation for every long time fan to come in and enjoy themselves. Thankfully, this crowd appreciated the opener for what it was, and then they knew everyone who wrestled in the next four matches, giving their energy and elevating every match as a result. Everything about this show really put things into perspective how much Puro has changed post-pandemic and how many of those fans, who made those awesome shows even better, moved on with their lives, and how much Puro needs those loud, enthusiastic, grateful for wrestlers' efforts fans. Main Event in particular felt like a love letter for hose fans, it certainly was an incredlble live experience. Watch this one from start to finish, there wasn't anything skippable or forgettable here."
[8.0] "Another good TAKAYAMANIA. In contrast to last year's card the undercard was more focused on in-ring wrestling while the later matches included more comedic elements. The main event was a crowd pleaser with the highlight being the integration of Kobashi into the chop battle with him ultimately chopping all four wrestlers. Last year's ended on an extremely emotionally intense note as they brought Takayama out late and Suzuki challenged him to get out of his wheelchair and fight with a lot of weeping and crying visible. This year they brought Takayama out earlier and he participated with commentary for the last match, ending the show in a less bittersweet fashion."
