Naoya Nomura vs. Ryuki Honda

[9.0] "This match had a lot of heart. Ryuki Honda is a future Tripple Crown Champion imo he has everything. I believe this is my first time seeing Naoya Nomura but I was very impressed and can't wait to see what he does. AJPW grows these talent more every show."

[7.0] "This match was a nice return to form with All Japan in a year that has been more goofy and unserious than it ever has been in recent years. Naoya has looked good since his return from injury, and Honda, when given a quality opponent, can put out a strong performance."

[8.0] "Naoya Nomura is back! what a come back match. His return adds more depth to AJPW's roster, especially in the midcard."

[8.0] "I didn't expected this match to be so good, but it was. I am very happy to see Naoya Nomura again, excited to see the future for him."

[8.0] "You would never be able to guess watching this that Nomura basically has not wrestled in months. I thought this absolutely rocked right from the second Honda got in his face before the bell. Had the intensity I am always looking for in wrestling and what is so often lacking in modern All Japan."

[8.0] "Naoya Nomura returned home here and barely missed a beat. He still wrestles with that reckless abandon. There was one botch here but they recovered quick. I expect any lingering ring rust to be gone from Nomura pretty quickly. Honda held up his end here and is always a great guy who can win or lose any match he's in."
