[7.0] "A fun match, albeit pretty basic, especially for those involved. Probably could have made better use of the talent here but sometimes that's just how things shake out."
[7.0] "The stars in this match were very much Maki and Miyu. Riho was just *there*, it was very entertaining but I felt like it had gears it could have gone through."
[6.0] "So was Shida supposed to be in this match instead of Riho? Who knows? This was very underwhelming. A special tag billing yet never felt like they got out of house show mode. Riho and Miyu had what...less than 90 seconds of interaction. Didn't get the feeling anything was being built out of this. Noa eats another fall as usual."
[6.0] "This was a very smoothly worked tag match, but I didn? t come away feeling satisfied, as it highlighted this card? s missed potential when it came to matchups. I am once again asking why, if you? re putting Hikari in a tag team match, is she not working with Nao Kakuta, who is, you know, her tag partner? Riho? s been coming in for guest spots for TJPW for years now, but she? s never really done anything of note. And yet we got glimpses in this match of what a Riho/Miyu bout could look like. So why not book it? and if the answer is politics then the TJPW team need to think hard about why they couldn? t use their pull to have their company ace go over a mid-ranked AEW wrestler. Cause we saw some brilliant exchanges here and I want to see more! And while this isn? t a criticism of this match, I? m sure I? m not the only one to notice the formulaic script the company uses for almost every tag match. The eventual winner and loser get tagged in and fight; then the non-legal partners come in while the legal wrestlers roll out the ring; After 30 seconds, the non-legal wrestlers roll out the ring, and the legal wrestlers return; the eventual loser hits a big move for a nearfall, and then quickly loses after. Once you realize it, you? ll see it in every tag match and it was only really Magirabbits that managed to escape this formula, so it was disappointing to see it here with the talent of the wrestlers available. This was good, but raised questions for me about whether everyone was being booked to their strengths."
[8.0] "This match was always going to be really good, but I was shocked at how funny it was. Maki made me laugh several times, and so did Riho and Miyu when they reacted to her. The result was never in doubt, nor was the quality of the match, but the humor factor is what I will remember it for. And please, more Riho and Shida in TJPW. They actually get to show their skills there and are in premiere attraction matches, which isn't happening over in AEW."
[8.0] "Pretty much exactly what you would expect or want to see from these four. Yamashita and Itoh have had a couple of tag matches this year against AEW joshi stars (Riho here, Shida back in May) that were good on their own while also feeling like teases for potential big singles matches in the future."
[8.0] "Miyu and Riho work great together. I'd like to see that singles match. Itoh and Noa have a nice rivalry going. Good to see 121000000 back on top."
[7.0] "Hikari was the obvious fall man but that didn't matter because she was working hard the entire match. It was a match where everyone was given their share of time to shine. The brief interactions between Miyu and Riho were the highlight of the match. ***1/2"
[8.0] "Das Match bot viele Einzelsegmente zwischen den vier Protagonisten im Ring. Hikari Noa verdient ein Extralob, die sich hier total ins Zeug gelegt hat. Die Finish Sequenz sah sehr schmerzhaft aus für Noa. Gutes Tag Team Match."
