[7.0] "Good show, my personal favorite was the Tanahashi & Naito vs. Tanaka & Yujiro tag match surprisingly, and also really liked the junior title match between Devitt and Ki. Tag title match was just okay, and Nakamura vs. Anderson is another nice match in that feud. Main event was good, but didn't hold my interest as much as I had hoped so I'm not as high on this show as I thought I'd be."
