124.12.2025violet0116.0One of the purest babyface vs babyface matches I can think of in NJPW, a guy who hasn't quite made it yet vs a guy who struggles to make anything happen anymore and they both get desperate for the big win. It's too long for sure but both guys are so charming in their approach that it makes the 30 minutes feel every bit of the struggle as it should. Wouldn't feel out of place about 30 years prior, a lovely slice of old school.
219.12.2025Aliiadwana5.0[2.5*] Not for me. 2010s Njpw style doesn't always hit to me. I just couldn't enjoy it at all and I was so close to be completely bored of this. Also it's Half an hour.. on paper ? this is interesting. But the execution.. felt very flat for me.

622.02.2025Chefi9.0This is by far Juices best performance I've seen from him. Great story with Juice being the underdog, fighting through the knee pain and punishment from Tanahashi and Tanahashi pushing through almost losing to Juice multiple times. Everything went greatly and I loved it.

2719.10.2018RatingsMachine10.0This match was absolutely fantastic, far better than I expected it would be. A lot of that is obviously down to Tanahashi, because he's great at getting the best out of an opponent, but don't downplay the contributions of Juice Robinson.

3001.05.2018TeoK029.0Damn this was a great match. They did the traditional student vs. mentor schtick, but executed it to perfection, with Juice fighting valiantly, without taking shortcuts while Tana was smarter, more aggressive and almost constantly one step ahead. The story was aided by tremendous pacing, as the match started off slow with Tana putting in some great legwork and kept building and building, leading to a magnificent closing stretch. A great contest and a testament to how far Juice has come. ****1/2

3416.04.2018LegibleToe7626.0I'm definitely in the minority here, I didn't really like this a whole lot. I liked what both men did here but this absolutely did not need to go half an hour. Juice is amazing, like both men were great here, I just thought it was too long with way too much stalling and too much nothingness. I'll need to find some time to rewatch it soon but nothing spectacular in my opinion. (***1/4)

3602.04.2018marexcel7.0Bin mir nicht sicher, ob das eigenwillige Tempo, der Paarung etwas Nachdruck verleihen soll, jedenfalls stört es mich. Das ist technisch alles fein und mir gefällt Tana in der "Master"-Rolle ziemlich gut, aber das hätte ich mir griffiger im Ring gewünscht. So ist das handwerklich fein, aber als Ganzes etwas zu wenig, wenn mir auch die Perfomance beider Herren gefällt. (***½)

5623.03.2018Wrestling Forever 9.0Großartiges Semi Finale Juice Robinson hat sich damit bei mir noch um einen Punk höher in der Bewertung erspielt. Sah hier sein bestes Match das er bis jetzt hatte und es war noch besser als das gegen Kenny. Vor allem der Schluss war unglaublich ganz, ganz tolles Match (****1/2).

5923.03.2018Dragon Fighter10.0God, I absolutely love this match. Seeing juice's improvement is a joy for sure. He played face role tremendously here and crowd loved him. Tanahashi was a bit heelish and aggressive but he and juice told really great story. Tana first of all targeted juice's leg as he always does and juice's selling was good. First half was pretty slow but match was well-built. The second half got more dramatic with a lot of back and forth action from both. The nearfalls were definitely great which popped the crowd. I love juice did the high fly flow. Tanahashi proved he is GOAT and his work is phenomenal. And juice despite losing had another strong performance and earned his mentor's respect. Just a fantastic main event.

6522.03.2018NastyYaffa8.0Great story of Juice going against his NJPW mentor in Tanahashi. Tana busted out a classic heelish Tana performance, which is always a big time joy to watch. He was great showing no respect to Juice & working him over. Juice was great too; he showcased great fire & desperation with his body language, his offense looked great as usual & him busting out all the big moves he could think of to try & prove that he is on Tana's level was great. Here's to hoping that we get a re-match between the two, maybe later this year. ***3/4
6622.03.2018Codebreaker9.0Stark unterbewusstes Match: Das hier war mit Abstand Juice beste Leistung und eine von vorne bis hinten toll vorgetragene Matchstory von beiden. ****1/2
6722.03.2018ohnoes6.0I suppose some might have seen this match as some memorable, epic encounter between mentor and student, but what I saw was a drawn out and slow paced match. There was a lot of stalling and pauses between each wrestler, especially near the end. Tanahashi had also worked Juice's knee throughout the match only for Juice to essentially no-sell it. There was some storytelling here, with Tanahashi not accepting a handshake or any courtesy as he worked a vicious and aggressive style to win, but I didn't see it as some hard-fought victory.

7122.03.2018seriousbusiness8.0If there is any rookie out there who has shown exceptional growth throughout the past year it would have to be Juice. He is far from the days of being green as he really knows how to work a match now. Albeit he isn't a great ring general yet, but he knows how to dance well with his partner, and in this match he had Tanahashi of all people putting on a great story-oriented match. The classic "student vs master" match with Tanahashi trying to prove to Juice that he was still on top, and the latter needing a big win to solidify his spot on the roster, ****1/4.
