[8.0] "Coughlin and Kratos are a great pairing, Kratos gets to show off his strikes and agility while Coughlin gets to show off his absolute freak strength lifting Kratos like it's nothing. That suplex where Kratos just fucking flings Coughlin across the ring is unbelievable, another great showing by both men"
[7.0] "Fantastic for exactly what it was. A showcase match. A far above average one at that, given enough time to show the strengths of both men and that they can go the distance whenever called upon for in the future. Always enjoy JR Kratos since first seeing him in GCW, where these two also faced off in a blood sport match. Great to see him continuing to grow his unique offense and still being a great matchup for any style or competitor he is in the ring with."
[7.0] "Hey, I loved this match. This is full of implications: the last young lion match by Coughlin, the loss of Kratos and the revenge in this match. Very good strong spots."
[7.0] "These guys overdelivered big time. They only had a few minutes, but they made the absolute most of it. I didn't love their other singles match on strong, so I wasn't excited for this. Both of these guys deserve to be on the main tours in Japan. NJPW doesn't often get two meaty monsters throwing each other around like this. What a treat for a pre-show match"
