[8.0] "For some reason the Jr tag title match is not on NJPW world but the rest of the show is pretty good. Low point was Naito and Yujiro for me"

[7.0] "I found this to be a very good show, but not an absolute classic. The opener is fine, and the two junior title matches are both fun matches. Killer Elite Squad winning the tag belts was a cool deal, but not a very good match and then the Naito/Yujiro match was a waste of 5 minutes. From there, the rest is good stuff. Shibata & Sakuraba have a very fun, hot 7 minute match with Makabe & Inoue, Okada/Anderson is a good G1 final rematch albeit not as good as that match. Nakamura/Goto is probably my favorite match on the show up to that point, but could have been even better. Then comes the main event, which is extremely highly regarded. There are certain matches that get a reputation as all-timers and when I watch them with such high expectations, it can sometimes be a little disappointing when the match is great but not quite to that all-timer level for me. That's what happens here, and I watched the match twice, but nonetheless Tanahashi/Suzuki is great and ends the show on a hot note."
