[7.0] "If Danshoku Dino tried to team with Yoshihiko today, there's no way I'd rank it anywhere above a 6. However, this is against the Golden Lovers and they absolutely gave it their all, despite wrestling against a certified comedy wrestler and a liter blowup sex-doll. There's definitely some parts in the middle (namely Yoshihiko coming back as the Undertaker) that didn't work for me, but there was certainly a lot to enjoy during this match and I'm glad I watched it."

[8.0] "This should not work a 10th of how much it does. Incredibly hilarious and roses to Omega, Ibushi, Dino and whoever the man in black is. Impeccable comedic timing combined with incredible athleticism. Omega looking intimidated and kinda scared after Yoshikiko comes in as the Undertaker was the highlight for me."

[4.0] "I haven't seen the Ibushi-Yoshihiko singles match from this same year in a while, but I recall it being a solid 9, full of fluid spots that were funny, genuinely impressive, and even logical. This is not that. I don't think the tag format is well suited for Yoshihiko. When done well, you can really suspend your disbelief, but that requires almost constant contact which just isn't possible in a tag. One of the seconds kept coming into the ring to manipulate Yoshihiko to the point where, at one instance where he gets hit by a kick instead of the doll, I thought they were about to do a kind of meta-joke where Ibushi takes out Yoshihiko only through attacks on the handler. But no, it was either inadvertent or no one thought it out to that extent. The best part of the match is Kenny Omega channeling Zangief, and you can probably find just that spot somewhere in a clip or GIF form. I give that GIF a 10. The match as a whole, not so much."

[6.0] "A blow-up sex doll dies and then returns as the American Badass? How can anyone not find that hilarious? Maybe it helps that I personally always found Undertaker's character kind of dumb so seeing wreslters take the piss out of it was fun for me. As you can expect, this is a comedy match. Unfortunately I don't find Kenny funny. I don't find Dino funny. And I always feel that matches like this is a waste of Ibushi, although Ibushi's performance in this was amazing anyway. The Yoshihiko stuff carries this in the comedy department for me. But this was a bit tad on the long side for what it was going for. **3/4"

[4.0] "I love Yoshihiko, I love Golden Lovers and I love Danshoku Dieno. What could go wrong in such a match? Unfortunately, everything here went wrong. I didn't expect they could do a really boring and uninteresting match. And when I watched this match I didn't even watch many Yoshihiko's great battles. This one was a failure even with such wrestlers. I don't know why."

[8.0] "Hilarious match that always keeps you guessing. Good ring work with some funny comedy spots. The obvious highlight of the match is Yoshihiko (who is currently in his Great Muta form) being "killed" by Kenny, forcing him to be carried to the back, leaving his partner Dino alone against the Golden Lovers. But, just as Dino seems to be defeated, Yoshihiko comes back in full Undertaker American Badass form, music and all. He even has a custom titantron parody video. Hilarious stuff."

"A great match, Yoshihiko is a highlight of the match, especially seeing the different iterations of it throughout."

[6.0] "Definitely one of those you're going to love or hate. To be honest, I'm in the middle actually. There were some funny moments for sure (the highlight being Yoshihiko's return to the match as Biker Taker with You're Gonna Pay playing). It maybe was a bit long for a match of this type. Kota Ibushi was already great at this point. Kenny Omega wasn't quite the great wrestler we all know now yet. This was humorous."

[4.0] "The old cliche is that Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels could have a great match with a broom, so watch this to see Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi have a match with a sex doll. Your mileage will vary with this kind of match and while I don? t have a problem with comedy matches I did think that this overstayed it? s welcome a bit. In a sport of zombies and supernatural beings I? m more than willing to accept that Yoshihiiko can somehow work a match. Also worth noting that they kept the crowd hot for the entire thing which is very impressive"

[8.0] "This is the match where Kenny does Zangief's ultra. What else do you want? Yoshihiko to die and come back as the American Badass? It has that too!"

[9.0] "Just brilliant, worth watching for the undertaker alone. They have worked the doll a little better in other matches and it is a little long but damn it's absolutely hilarious."

[4.0] "That was bad. I like comedy matches, I like Dino, I like the interaction of wrestlers with Yoshihiko, but specifically here it was boring, empty and stupid. The return of the doll in a different image is a good feature, but it did not work here. It's a shame for the time spent on this (**)"

[8.0] "Pretty entertaining but I felt like it went a bit long. There were a lot of very funny moments, with good selling from the GL, which elevates the whole thing. Ibushi has the best 'slugging it out with Yoshihiko' in the business, and Omega has a lot of fun miming lifting Yoshihiko; I love their super violent offense on Yoshihiko that would kill a lesser person. The return of Yoshihiko as the American Badass (? ) was really fun, but I feel like it killed the crowd a bit; their final sequence was also hampered by Yoshihiko's arms. I also feel like some spots were missing (Yoshihiko's destroyer or head scissors for instance). Overall, a fun match, but it could have been a bit tighter; though really what I am complaining about, it's already a wonder they can make a tag match with Yoshihiko work."

[7.0] "This felt like it went a bit long for a Yoshihiko match, but I never got bored of it. The Lovers obviously have excellent chemistry as a tag team, and their bumping for Yoshihiko was incredible. Fucking Dino probably has the most underrated punch in the business. Very fun, wacky tag match. ***3/4"

[8.0] "I have nothing much to say about this match except that it is super entertaining. Everyone was over in this match and all 3 men and the doll worked perfectly to put on an entertaining match. Only Omega and Ibushi, the DDT aces, would be talented enough to believably sell moves from an intimate object, ****1/4."

[8.0] "Probably one of the coolest matches I've had the pleasure to watch. My one complaint is that YOSHIHIKO's "trainer" had a bit too much involvement, other than that, this was truly awesome. Trust Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi to sell legitimacy to a blow-up doll (that near-fall roll-up from YOSHIHIKO was intense and almost had me marking-out). ****1/4, just falls short of my matches of all time list."
