9 | 13.04.2025 | samaael777 | 7.0 | Marufuji clearly looked his age. I am not sure why AJ Styles chose Maru to be his opponent with his little trip to Japan. AJ looked good. Didn't think this was as good as other thought. |
10 | 21.03.2025 | NoOne2 | 8.0 | AJ Styles in Japan. What could be better than this? I didn't care for their match at all because nothing special was done in it except working on each other's heads and hands and the storyline didn't inspire anything special, but the fact that AJ was in Japan by himself makes this match interesting. I wish Marufuji wasn't his opponent either. |

12 | 07.03.2025 | ReiEscobar | 9.0 | It's always good to see a dream match becoming true, no matter how long it takes for happen. Styles and Marufuji are both pretty close to retire and this will happen in at least 3 years, but man, this was so fucking good. The mutual respect both wrestlers had to each other made this match a instant banger, and Styles here fight exactly like he normally did in his NJPW era. Unbeliavable good. There's a lot of matches from AJ Styles that still didn't happen yet (Gunther, Dragon Lee, Penta) and this need to happen asap, IF he continues in WWE, of course. |

15 | 19.02.2025 | Nishifue | 7.0 | I had no idea they let AJ Styles go through the forbidden door after his I quit match. Neither of these guys are in their primes, but this was still a solid match. ***3/4 |
16 | 19.02.2025 | FelipeTalksGraps | 9.0 | [4.25*] I may be overrating this one a little bit because the action was not as good as Kaito vs YOICHI, but man, this is AJ Styles vs Marufuji, a Dream Match for the ages, and comparing this with what AJ was doing (stinkers with Karrion Kross) and with what Maru was doing (stinkers with Ibushi and etc), this absolutely over delivered in all aspects, specially on the pure in-ring work. For the first half it was a super carryjob from AJ, he is having a hell of a year, his best since 2018. For the second half, Marufuji finally showed up, specially after that insane Shiranui on the guardrail. The ending stretch was phenomenal (sorry) and the sequence where both guys hit their trademark combination popped me a lot. AJ brought up some of his old moves like the Ushigoroshi or the Torture Rack Bomb and you could tell that he really bust his ass off to deliver a special performance, which he fully accomplished. This was an all-timer experience that I will never forget. |

35 | 19.12.2024 | cactus | 8.0 | Although I had my reservations that this wouldn't be as good as I had hoped due to both men being in the twilight years of their career, this ruled! AJ Styles is simply ageless and I have no idea how he can work at such a high level physically at his age. He even reigns in Marufuji from his worst tenancies. We get some limbwork in the early stages that pays off once they start busting out their signature spots. I love that psych-out that AJ does before going up for a springboard. All the action was crisp and super stiff. Everything I want in an AJ match. |

47 | 17.11.2024 | Brando Calrissian | 10.0 | A legendary dream match that 100% more than delivered. Both men are getting to the latter days of their careers, but they showed that they can continue to put on all time classics and great performances. Some great sequences, brilliant moves and moments to show just how brilliant both men are. Ending what was a once in a lifetime showcase of how incredible pro wrestling really is. |

50 | 09.11.2024 | Chefi | 8.0 | This was great, albeit both men look like their slowing down in age, but even then that didn't stop them from putting on a masterclass of a match. There were brutal spots that neither of these guys should be taking yet here we are. Overall it was a fun encounter and really enjoyed seeing two vets go at it. |
51 | 08.11.2024 | hunterp | 6.0 | Didn't even come close to the expectations I had for it. While AJ is still great, Marufuji is definitely showing his age. He whiffed on a lot of strikes and in general, looked much slower than AJ, despite being couple years younger. Finish was kind of flat too. Right as the action was starting to pick up, it just ended. Disappointing match sadly |

53 | 18.10.2024 | darkflame4527 | 9.0 | [****3/4] Great sequences, brutal spots, what more could you want? Suplexes on the guard rail to the outside, tackling the top rope to mess up the phenomenal forearm, do an Eddie Guerrero to force a 450 splash, then counter that what the hell? I also think this matches one of the greatest pure strike sequences in history With AJ and Marufuji hitting both their combinations at the same time. Excellence in one match. |

58 | 26.09.2024 | Styles619 | 8.0 | This was a great match. This is one of those true dream matches that as a fan you could only wish to see. Thanks to the new leadership in WWE, AJ Styles was able to go overseas to wrestle Naomichi Marufuji. Not only that, but for all the time he spent in Japan, this was the first time he ever wrestled in Pro Wrestling NOAH. If we got this match even 5 years ago, this could have been so much better, but even still this was awesome to see. This was a nice mix of high flying, technical wrestling and good strikes. It was surprising to see Marufuji lose, but AJ made a name for himself in Japan with 2 IWGP title reigns and some of the best matches in his career. On top of that, both men are basically teflon, so who won didn't really matter. It was about giving the fans around the world a dream match they had been wanting to see. ****1/4 |

62 | 19.09.2024 | Kyle from TheMatchGuide | 5.0 | Yeah, whatever. Marafuji has never had a great mind for wrestling, but I'll always have a soft spot for the guy. He's effortlessly cool, and his shit looks dope. The problem is that he's 44 years old, and it's become apparent this year that time is catching up to him. The same can be said for AJ, who, to his credit, has always had a better mind for structuring matches. Unfortunately, his time in WWE seems to have hurt him as of late, as shit matches with LA Knight and Cody have shown him that getting all the nostalgia pops instead of producing something that makes you feel something is easier. Don't blame either guy here, just getting their shit in and leaving. The crowd loves it, so they do their job. But in terms of a sense of struggle, in-ring story, or motivation? Yeah, this is as empty as it gets. I can only swallow a nostalgia pill so much. 2.5 Stars. |

72 | 05.09.2024 | danzitorock | 8.0 | What an amazing experience to watch AJ Styles first match outside of the WWE after more than 8 years, and he showed why he's one of the best wrestlers of his generation, absolutely phenomenal performance, he's fabulous for his age, and Marufuji, who's also a veteran, accompanied him and delivered high quality wrestling. I loved the kicks and the sequences, it's only a shame that, just like IYO SKY, AJ won pretty easily, I was expecting a kickout or more emotion, but he connected the Styles Clash and won, just when the match could start to reach another level. Loved this match - {****} |

77 | 24.08.2024 | LariatNation | 9.0 | Masters of the craft. Two of the greatest, most innovative, and most influential wrestlers to ever live. Two wrestlers whose fingerprints are all over the modern era. They get this started with a show of respect, but AJ Styles quickly changes the tone by throwing Naomichi Marufuji off of him instead of initiating the traditional Irish Whip sequence. Marufuji then shows he can match Styles strength with quickness and we get going. Styles takes it to the mat in an interesting story development that showcases a trepidation as far as matching quickness with Marufuji is concerned. As that strategy begins to lose its hold, however, Styles pulls out the classic Dropkick sequence and begins to gain confidence in his ability to go step-for-step with his fellow living legendbut foregoes an expected dive to the outside of the ring to show a continued uncertainty as to whether he can pull that move off. Keep in mind: He was injured on a dive not too long agothe first major injury of his career. Back in the ring, the battle for controlling the pace and style of this encounter continued. Marufuji took the reins after losing the quickness battle, targeting Styles arm with a series of attacks that were simple yet effective. His efforts in violence grew as he progressedonce again epitomizing the story of this match. And then THAT kick happened. And the technical element of this match took over, with Styles going shot for shot and submission for submission, only in his case targeting the knee. The sell by Marufuji on the Handspring Dropkick attempt was beautiful, and Styles hitting the Dynamite/Pegasus style Snap DDT was a wonderful touch. It was Exhibit A of how the minor details drove this match, as they always have with these two icons of the industry. Look no further than the story within the story coming full circle, as Marufuji finally lands his Dropkickto the top rope as AJ was attempting to Springboard. Marufuji picks Styles apart a bit with moves that fans know from WWE and AEW wrestlers, but he actually innovated. It was a lovely chapter in this match that justifiably spoke to his undeniable influence. It also led into Marufuji taking the first big risk of the match, with the Springboard Dropkick to Styles as he entered the ring. It led to Styles turning back the clock to his TNA days with the Phenomenal Forearm off the guardrail. That progressive build hit an even longer stride when Marufuji nearly snapped Styles neck with the Shiranui across the guardrail. The second half of the match is a blur of brilliance. Everything that had been built to during the first half paid off, with both wrestlers taking chances that wrestlers their age never wouldand perhaps they wouldnt have wanted to in any other scenario. Against who they were facing, however, there was no choice. And high-flying maneuvers, submission counters, and an absolutely astonishing striking sequence took us home. They played the hits in ways that wrestlers their age shouldnt be able to, which really meant digging deep into the arsenal in ways that few can force them to. They know theyre 44 and 47 years of age. But they also know that this is a dream match of the highest order. And they want to win as the version of themselves they wereproving they havent even lost a step after all. The friendliness subsides, the competitiveness takes over, and a genuine classic takes shapeall the way down to a Tiger Driver transition into a Styles Clash in a NOAH ring. 4.5 stars, 9 out of 10. Absolutely phenomenal, all puns intended. |
