[8.0] "A solid candidate for MOTN on TNA ONO: Global iMPACT Japan. Aries and Sanada ALWAYS had great chemistry and this was no different, only it got about twice as much time as usual. Great international X-Division title match!"
[7.0] "An overall okay match with decent work from both of them, Austin did well until Sanada finally turned things into his favor to capture X-Division title. Finish was okay but expected Austin to be more though than that. Overall enjoyable match."
[8.0] "Sanada had better chemistry with Austin Aries than any other talent during Sanadas TNA excursion in my opinion. Match of the night for this show in a cool title change for Sanada to get to win the title in Japan."
[8.0] "Teilweise wenn man sich die Matches ansieht quält man sich da durch. Viele Matches sind kurz und ansehnlich. Es gibt zwei Lichtblicke und eins davon ist dieses damaligen TNA X Division Championship Match (***1/2)."
