[8.0] "Fuminori Abe is one of my current faves, and this was perhaps his best outing of a great wXw weekend; obviously Gunns was great as well. Technically sound, while losing none of the comedic elements typical of an Abe match. Highly entertaining. (****)"
[8.0] "Very good final - Abe was somehow still able to compete at a high level despite having gone to war with Shigehiro Irie nary half an hour before this bout, but Bobby Gunns was fresher having had two quicker matches, and it told in the end. Great for technical reasons, the mat work was sublime."
