[8.0] "Expectations were actually lower, because often Rikio matches aren't as good as they could be, but the big meat men beating each other up formula played well here. The match wasn't that long and the main thing it lacked was the crowd's attention. Overall there were a lot of great moments, Rikio slaps were extremely brutal, but still, the fans didn't believe in him at all, apparently after his last failed run. I'd also add a few more intense minutes of filler moments as well. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the fight. ****"
[6.0] "I liked how it started with them charging at each other and no-one coming out on top. Those slaps from Rikio early in the match are so hard. The powerbomb reversal with Morishima sitting on Rikio was cool. It's crazy seeing a guy that size flying out the ring like that. Love the lariat exchanges. Decent title match, nothing mind blowing but I enjoyed it."
[9.0] "This rules, absolute bullfight from the Wild II teammates in the Budokan for the GHC World Title. it's exchanges, it's lariats, it's sumo slaps, it's Morishima using his ass in creative ways, it's just two big dudes beating the hell out of each other. Sadly the crowd was a little tepid but they were still engaged. Also Rikio absolutely outperformed Morishima here. ****1/2"
