[8.0] "An exciting tournament with the right team winning. Jun Kasai's match was very good and the other matches added some varation."

[5.0] "I found this to be a mediocre show with sloppy matches reliant upon clubbing shots and light tubes. Last year's overstuffed tournament peaked higher. Kasai vs Kamitani is the lone match worth watching from this show that also has the unfortunate addition of Joji Otani on the undercard. Masada is lazy and doesn't bump so he is a dreadful finalist let alone winner."

[8.0] "In some ways, this show was better than last year's. It wasn't as long which is good and there was way less filler. However, last year's best matches are better than anything on this show. This show also has the worst match of the two but all and all a good show. Only one bad match! 3 or 4 really good ones. I'll take it."
