[7.0] "Fine match with one of a kind mix of all time greats. The action itself was not special, but I just love to see all of these veterans beating the living shit out of each other in the main event of Korakuen Hall show. Fujiwara is unexpected, but surely welcoming X, love to see him still torturing his opponents with the same passion. ***1/2"
[5.0] "M's Alliance vs. Sugiura-gun ist in Teilen ein verdammt starkes Match, aber in Sugiuras Truppe sind natürlich nicht mehr alle in der Lage auf dem höchsten Level mitzugehen ***."
[9.0] "Wow. Fujiwara in the role of Mr. X was unexpected. I haven't seen him in the ring for a long time and even I was afraid to imagine what a 72-year-old man could do in the ring, but... I love NOAH, because they experiment and give veterans the right booking. Yoshiaki has been a pretty dangerous son of a bitch all his career, and here they managed to show him in all his glory. Fujiwara's technical work is still good, his armbar was performed well and inspired a threat, as well as hard slaps that contribute to teamwork. Otherwise, everyone was good. Everyone performed their program perfectly, Sugiura-gun was aimed at the group beating of Marufuji, and M's Alliance opposed this. The ending, as usual, was gorgeous, I love the chemistry of Marufuji and Sugiura, they are always consistent and always try to convey their motivation, and the way of winning continued the narrative line of their previous tag team matches, which makes their upcoming meeting even more interesting, and the current road is important, which needs to be monitored. This is a match in which everyone was great. You can evaluate how the promotion responsibly leads to the title match, or you can bury it, because the total age of the participants of the match is 400 years. But it came to my liking (****1/4)."
[5.0] "So, Yoshiaki Fujiwara was the "X". What a terrible decision. With all my respect to Yoshiaki Fujiwara's legend, I don't want to see him in a ring in 2021, especially in NOAH where they are concentrated way too much on people like Mutoh etc. It made me lose a lot of interest for this match, Fujiwara was robotic and that's not his fault obviously, that's the fault of NOAH putting him in the match. Sugiura and Marufuji had some good exchanges, Tanaka was good too but another bad ending happened. **1/2"
