Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Shotaro Ashino

[5.0] "[2.50*+] Good ? For what it wanted to be and for the direction of the matchup this succeeded I'd say, sure. That was enjoyable and I had fun with it; it's not like perfect or anything but it was really good for what it was."

[8.0] "The fight delivered, as expected, it was a real brawl, it felt like a Triple Crown match, it was so good, definitely among the best All Japan is doing right now."

[7.0] "A good match, but I couldn't stop thinking about Sekimoto's episode of apparent near-paralysis he suffered last year and it detracted from my enjoyment of this match. By the end of this, he looked barely mobile getting out of the ring. I hope he was just selling exhaustion."

[8.0] "Really enjoyable big bopper match this. First AJPW match I've watched in quite a while and it was well worth it."

[8.0] "A good match. Very good chemistry between both gentlemen, a very enjoyable match from start to finish, maintaining a high standard throughout."

[8.0] "Man it's so nice to see Daisuke Sekimoto still put on banger matches after his rough 2025 health-wise. Shotaro Ashino knows how make someone look great. True pro."
