1522.08.2023coppercowries9.0Don Callis has got to be the best heel commentator of modern times. I like this match for it's combination of humorous interference and hard hits. Match starts off pretty hilariously with Red Shoes searching under the ring for those dastardly Young Bucks, and throwing them out, as they plead and Kenny watches on distraught. Kenny whacking Elgin over the head with all kinds of goofy crap from under the ring was pretty funny too. The following powerbomb off the ladder was nice. There are some brutal strikes and bumps in this, particularly the big bump off the top of the ladder and double table spot where the tables don't break and Kenny just bounces off. Crowd stays invested, and Elgin brute forces his way to victory.

2424.05.2023Wllfriedzaha7.0This was good, but I feel like the whole reason I love ladder matches so much is the sports, and while there was a couple here Id like to have seen more

2607.04.2023Fillosetti10.0I strongly believe this is one of the best ladder matches I've ever seen. Given how atypical the stipulation is for New Japan, and seeing the duration, 33 minutes, I feared it was a slow and methodical ladder match. But it turned out being exactly what I wanted. It's a ladder match that has everything inside: crazy spots, a mad cheering from the crowd, interference in the final part (I know it bothered some, but in my opinion they helped to increase the emphasis of the match), a fast pace, engaging and never boring. This match had the atmosphere of chaos, but in a good way. Something that here in Italy we often describe as "caciara". And paradoxically I think the generous duration helped make this ladder match so good; I think if they had condensed the duration into 15 or 20 minutes some beautiful spots would have been cut, and I would have been sorry. And honestly I didn't feel the duration at all, despite the match lasting 33 minutes I felt like 10 minutes had gone by. What's more, it's all made even more beautiful by the strong sense of novelty that characterizes the match, given that the special stipulations are very rare in New Japan. Seriously, go out of your way to retrieve this gem and you won't regret it

3305.09.2022UltraNano546.0Honestly not a very good ladder match. The budget on the ladder could of been better and this whole thing was just a cheap attempt to cater to america and really feels out of place in Japan. They also wrestled for over 33 minutes which sucked. They could of easily done this match in 20 minutes so the whole thing felt out of place and like a waste of time.

6122.06.2020RoscoeSantangelo10.0Honestly one of my favorite ladder matches of all time. Just incredible pacing, this match never stops moving but the spots never feel forced. Pretty brutal action but ever spot feels naturally got into, while still being fairly innovative. Just a tremendous example of a great ladder match and a perfect marquee one for NJPW to start with. Omega had an HBK like performance here that shot him up to looking like a true top star, that would be solidified with the G1 run that follows. But this match also solidified Elgin as a huge fan favorite. Just amazing work that got so many different things over along with being one of the best worked ladder matches ever ****3/4

6405.04.2020LatinoHeat939.0Klasse Leiter Match Im Stil eines Indy Matches, was so mit Tanahashi nicht möglich gewesen wäre leg mich da mal fest. Der Kreative Einsatz mit den Leitern auch wenn am Ende der gute alte Japanische Tisch nicht zu bruch gehen will stark von beiden. Die Eingriffe m Ende auf beiden Seiten stören dann das Gesamtbild etwas Der Upset Win von Elgin kam dann schon überraschend.

7031.03.2019mulehollandaise10.0Excellent match. I have watched many ladder matches (though it's been a while), and I feel like this is one of the best, if not the best, singles ladder matches; definitely on par with Generico vs Steen matches. They mostly used ladders as weapons, and did all the classics (knocking everyone down with it, ladder bump on the corner, ladder in the face in the corner, throwing ladder on oncoming opponent), but also mixed it with bigger bumps onto ladders, which looked great. That's not to say that they didn't use them for height (that top rope sunset flip over a short ladder was amazing, and there were also a couple powerbombs or suplexes), but they're not high flyers like Jeff Hardy or Ricochet (no legdrop or big dive off of a ladder). However this match showcased Omega's athleticism (something I have been taking for granted I think, holy cow he's good); he took some big bumps (Elgin too), and his selling was great. I could have done with the powerbomb on the tables, which as this point was unnecessary. It was a very good showcase of what you can do on a singles ladder match, and I feel like part of it was to show the Japanese how you do it - which was awesome, as you had a rather quiet (worried? ) crowd that reacted with murmurs and 'oooooh' to any dangerous spot. On the other hand, one can criticize this match for being cold (no home stretch to speak of, but it's hard to pull off with such a tiring match as singles ladder) and lacking psychology (no hate or heat, no gradual breakdown of their body); it's not the way I decided to look at it. I see it as the greatest hits of a singles ladder match, a match that didn't make me wince or scared for them, in which I saw amazing athleticism and some really big bumps that still force awe and respect. I love ladder matches, and this was very cool.

7808.11.2018RatingsMachine0.0This match featured everything that I despise about New Japan. This was a numbing stunt show, a match completely devoid of any semblance of psychology or storytelling. We also had constant outside interference, we had babyfaces that were made to look like complete idiots, and we had a total and utter lack of meaning to anything that happened. It was everything that is wrong about New Japan, and you had to endure it for over thirty excruciating minutes.
7923.07.2018CoachKnudsen7.0A good match, no question. But too much interfence, that did't make logical sense. If there had been some logic behind the timing of the interfence it would have been much better

8311.04.2018Shiza kun9.0Great ladder match. Had physical back-and-forth action throughout and some really amazing spots. As per usual, Kenny sold his ass off and bumped around to get the crowd behinf Big Mike. Speaking of Mike, that Powerbomb he took through the ladder was NASTY. Hats off to the big man for that one, wow. Also really loved when Kenny pulled out a Slingblade to generate some heat from the crowd, clever move. Again, I wasn't a fan of the Bullet Club interfefence, but the spot where Elgin ripped off the hancuffs was great as well as the finish dumping Kenny out into the horde of bodies. Just a great physical war between these two. **** 1/2

8702.10.2017TooSweetPhil9.0Was für ein Fight im Ladder Match! Hier dran schätze ich sehr, dass obwohl einige Spots absurd genial sind und dabei auch richtig dem Match helfen, der Fokus auf der großartigen Story liegt. Die Transitions sind nicht immer ganz flüssig, ebenso sind es auch einige Spots nicht, aber Omega & Elgin verbinden unfassbar harte Szenen mit fantastischer Psychologie. Selbst die Eingriffe schaden dem Match nicht sondern verleihen das chaotische Feeling. Fantastisches Match (****¼+).
8815.08.2017HudE8.0Das Match of the Night vor dem Main Event und ein starkes Ladder-Match. Das Match hatte natürlich nicht das hohe Tempo, das sonst Ladder-Matches auszeichnet, was an der ungewöhnlich hohen Matchzeit lag. Ich glaub das Match wäre sicherlich noch besser gewesen, wenn die 2 weniger Zeit füllen müssten. Ansonsten lebte das Match aber von der Psychology und von den Reaktionen der Zuschauer, die ein Ladder-Match nicht gewohnt waren. Es hatte auch einige großartige Spots und hätte ohne die Eingriffe von außen sicherlich eine noch bessere Bewertung von mir bekommen. Der Titelwechsel kam für mich überraschend, wobei der PPV viele Entscheidungen hatte, die etwas zweifelhaft sind. Alles in allem ein verdammt unterhaltsames Match, nur vielleicht ein bisschen zu lang. **** 1/4 (13)

9111.06.2017LordGabriel9.0(**** 1/2) Wow , I was really impressed , probably one of the best ladder matches I ever seen. The interferences especially in the ending of the match , wasn't to my taste and stole the spotlight from what was important , but anyways , very good.
9209.06.2017LegibleToe76210.0I preferred it to the Michaels vs Ramon Wrestlemania X ladder match on so many levels. Omega using the slingblade, the number of amazing ladder spots, the run-ins were amazing with Ricochet's dive being inhuman and the crowd was so behind Elgin it was great. (****3/4)
