[6.0] "I actually enjoyed this one. It was short but solid, built more on good wrestling than flashy sequences. The crowd felt invested, especially when Go Shiozaki, Endo, and even Black Menso-re were involved. Shuji Ishikawa is clearly slowing down, but he still added presence. Nothing essential, just a fun undercard tag that gave everyone a moment to shine."
[4.0] "This match felt like a way to get more people on a big card than anything else. Nothing here was memorable, but nothing was really all that bad either."
[5.0] "This didn't feel like a match that belonged on this show, but I enjoyed it for what it was. Most people didn't get very much time, with the short time everybody had their minute to shine before taking someone else's moves. Ketoge and Endo had some nastiness that helped the intensity of this and then it was kind of overlooked by the wacky Menso/Shiozaki segment. **1/2"
[4.0] "My least favorite match of the show, unfortunately. This just didn't have a whole lot of life, in my opinion. I haven't watched NOAH in a while, but I can't believe how much older Shiozaki looked since the last time I saw him. I remember someone pointing out how he hasn't really aged a while ago, which is why it threw me off. Don't get me wrong, he's still in great shape and he's better looking than me. I was just a little thrown off, which could have also been due to his bare bones attire."
[6.0] "Wow I loved the Yone/Ishikawa segment here, I really need to go watch their singles outing form the previous year. Kinda wish Black Menso-re wasn't in this, I don't mind the guy but he fits a lot better in the comedy battle royale stuff then against a guy like Shiozaki. 3.25 stars"
[4.0] "I'm shocked that a show this big and important didn't have any idea on a major match for Go Shiozaki. This match honestly wasn't that bad but my extreme rating is more so based off of them having a bunch of people just thrown together to be on the show and not much else."
[4.0] "There was very little time and for a good tag team match, however many wrestler want to be there, they need to allocate more time so that the team members can connect and at least one can take the momentum of the match and that one can make an endgame. They made a good sequence one by one, but in the end, the Kotoge team won."
[5.0] "This was definitely not one of the more anticipated bouts of the card, but it was fine and a good chance to see Go, Kotoge, Ishikawa and more on this stage. The action was never anything special or exceptional, but it delivered on a basic level throughout. Mensore definitely stood out as the weak link here, but his comedy antics were not terrible. Shiozaki got the win over Mensore with a big Gowan Lariat and this was just average to good undercard fare really, nothing special but not bad."
