[3.0] "More House of Torture shenanigans. I was considering rating this a 4, but the ref ignoring blatant cheating right in front of him was annoying enough for me to reconsider it."
[4.0] "Well Takagi had to use a some complicated pin for Dick Togo rather than just smashing him? Well that made little sense but also the action around wasn't intriguing, it personally wasn't all time bad but it was also really forgettable; just not worth a watch. *3/4"
[7.0] "Very fun House Of Torture match. EVIL & Togo is actually a very entertaining duo, but their tag matches rarely matter and usually just work as a filler on smaller shows, but here at packed Korakuen they finally give us a match they easilly can deliver. Nice build up for the Tsuji vs. EVIL title match too. ***1/2"
[4.0] "Not good, not especially bad- I have been much happier with the use of EVIL and House of Torture this year as compared to the first half of last year, but this was erring back towards the bad times again."
[2.0] "This was outrageous. H.O.T were doing their shit right beside the ref and he even saw a part of it but Shingo was more distracting.. Bullshit. This has been the same shit throughout the entire year so far and quite frankly I'm sick of it."
[2.0] "Higher rating than I imagined. The only fun thing was the idea with Dick Togo's backhead falling on the nuts of Yota when Kenta pushed him. Else, it was terrible. **"
[6.0] "Classic bit of HoT bullshit here to disrupt the card, but I am a sucker for a bit of Dick Togo action. HoT are excellent at getting crowd reactions that must be said, and they really played up the simple heelwork here to great effect. Togo targeted the leg of Tsuji, following up on Kanemaru and the rest of HoT, clearly creating a strategy for EVIL in his title matchup. There was some strong comedy here with Kenta Sato accidentally causing a Dick to dick contact, but it could not save Dick Togo from inevitably eating the pin as Takagi got him in a hold. Not a great match but I had fun with it for the majority."
[7.0] "I actually really liked this match. 7 seems a bit too high, 6 seems a bit too low, but we're going with a 7. Good heel work by House of Torture, taking out Tsuji and beating the hell out of Takagi which set up a hot tag to Tsuji once he got back into the match just as we thought Takagi was hung out to dry. The spot where the ref pushed Dick Togo into low blowing Takagi was one of the most creative ways I've ever seen a heel get away with cheating. Evil spent the whole match, even after the bell, taking cheap shots at Tsuji, what a villain. I actually really "like" (like the ideas and the execution, but hate them because they're heels doing heelish things) the House of Torture stuff, and I actually can't wait for Tsuji to get his hands on EVIL tomorrow."
