[10.0] "This is the best stipulation of this federation, the best things come out of matches like these. And since it's their most important show, it adds another level of beauty."
[9.0] "One of those matches that no promotion can pull off like this except Dragon Gate. One of those matches that made Dragon Gate one of the best and most special promotions in history. The pace of the match was very fast. 20 minutes of non-stop action without a second of time being wasted without getting boring."
[7.0] "Big DG multi-man tags are always okay at the absolute worst, and this one ended up being pretty good by the end, though it initially threatened to merely meet that minimum. All the typical criticisms of multi-man matches apply (e.g. convenient run-ins, overly long periods of selling outside the ring, rules barely followed, over-choreographed multi-man spots, etc.). DG may be the company that does these spotfests better than any other company, but that doesn't mean these issues don't still bug me. They immediately went for non-stop multi-man spots, with all 4 teams and all 8 wrestlers desperate to show off their stuff. Sadly, there wasn't quite the intensity, crispness, or charisma that made these sorts of matches so iconic 10-20 years ago. The work was still good, but the spectacle wasn't what it was at DG's peak. It's also just a fact that DG has been repeating a lot of the same spots mechanics-wise in these sorts of matches for so many years, so this also felt like just a weaker version of all the more famous DG multi-man tags of the past, only with less impressive workers and weaker chemistry. The bigger spots here were sadly even more over-choreographed and obviously cooperative than the other spots too. You could even hear the difference in crowd reaction here compared to the reactions for these matches back in the 00s and 10s -- the skill level simply isn't the same. This thankfully didn't remain my opinion the whole way, as the match finally picked up with some truly rapid trades and convincig near falls after about 15 minutes, at which point the work became genuinely quite impressive and exciting. The trades between Flamita and Kamei, as well as Kzy and Shun, were the best, but sadly they were only brief. At least the final series of trades between Doi + Kid vs Shun + Jason were all really good AND got a good amount of time, with lots of good technique plus a good deal of power and spectacle on display. Those efforts there in that final 1/3rd notably improved the match's quality, ensuring the match ended on quite a strong note. ***1/4"
[8.0] "[4.0*] Classic Dragon Gate Multiman Match where A LOT happened in a short period of time. It is like the opposite of the Main Event in terms of pacing, lol. I am not the biggest fan, maybe in 2018 I would have given it a 10.0, but it was still undeniably fun and I was really able to enjoy myself while watching it. It had no commitment with selling or anything like that, it was just cool moves in a very well coordinated match with a ton of chemistry, it was a blast. The ending stretch with the last 2 teams was nuts."
[9.0] "2024 - This was great! The high quality, seemless spotfest that Dragongate does better than anyone else. Some genuinely stunning moments, Shuns leapfrog into a german, nearly all over the topes. Just glorious. ****1/2"
[7.0] "You have eight guys here who all played to their strengths in a lightning quick pace for 20+ minutes. Jacky and Jason were phenomenal and Paradox/No Hug retaining were the right choice."
[9.0] "Awesome match, your not gonna find any company doing these big tag matches better than Dragon Gate. Not Hug remains my favourite tag team in the world. 4.5 stars"
[7.0] "This has long been DGs speciality. And while theyve lost a lot of what previously made these matches spectacular with less refined, intricate spots that feel natural compared to these derivative, obvious spots, this was still a fun match to do. Itll be a shame to say otherwise, even if you dream for the days of Crazy MAX vs M2K. The peak of the match came in the middle portion when they were going all out with the spots they could come up with. It was at its most exciting and heavy with the drama. The pace was quick, the spots came even quicker and it was a pleasure to watch. This couldve made the eventual last showdown between Z-Brats and PARADOX even better, but that portion underwhelmed at great lengths. Laclustre beatdown and unmemorable comeback. Shame. But the rest is something I quite enjoyed. ***1/4"
[9.0] "Not the best multi men tag ever by DG bit stilla very good one. Perhaps they should have cut one or two minutes to have a more fluid pacing but the rest and especially the final were just excellent. I wouldn't call it MOTY candidate but it's goddamn fun. ****1/2"
[10.0] "If there's one thing Dragon Gate never fails to do well, it's a wild fast paced multi-man match, and this was perfectly in line with that style. It was clear they pulled out all the stops for this major match at their biggest show of the year, and they put together quite a collection of original, present, and rising talent. I was especially tickled to see the team of Flamita and Kzy, two guys who were coming up hot when I first started watching some DG about 10 years ago, but truly everyone more than pulled their weight. This was just a damn fun match, loved this."
[10.0] "One of the best multi man matches in recent history? Non stop high risking, spectacular moves, sequences & combinations. A lot of dramatic nearfalls. An phenomenal match. I wished Z-Brats or NATURAL VIBES would have won. ***** 5 STARS!"
[7.0] "This was your typical DG style tag match. Very fast paced, lots of combination moves. I wouldn't consider this to be up there with the very best DG tag matches. The 2022 tag match for example was a lot better. I think this match had an unremarkable first half. The counters looked nice but nothing stood out. I started getting into it more when the eliminations started coming. Lee and Skywalker are a really compelling tag team and I'm definitely going to check out all of their matches going forward. ***1/2"
[8.0] "Might watch this back at half speed to try to figure out what the fuck just happened. In the DG tradition, this was a high speed circus performance full of non-stop action that finally settled down into some excellent, traditional puro for a dramatic final fall ****1/4"
[9.0] "The four participants of the fantastic 2022 tag, two of the greatest tag wrestlers in the company's history, Kzy, who has always been fantastic in big matches, and Flamita, who has been the star of virtually every match he's been put in since coming back to the company. There was never a danger of this not being good. It was simply a matter of how good it was going to be. Kamei had another star-making performance and Shun and Mante were fantastic bases in this as always. A must-see match."
[7.0] "Real good DG style tag bogged down by a few issues. The pacing was weirdly off after all the eliminations, and Dragon Kid kicking out of a super-maximum driver and the spinning version at the end was much too far. There's a few spotty moments in terms of execution, but it's nearly impossible to be seamless with a match this crazy and fast. Good stuff. 3.5+ Stars."
[10.0] "What an amazing match! This is the kind of matches you'd expect in a DRAGONGATE show, great atmosphere and these last minutes were insane! Good to see Kid and Doi winning as I want to see more defenses for them. Highly recommended."
[9.0] "Insane high octane four way tag match involving eight of the best wrestlers in DRAGONGATE. Everyone delivered and bounced off each other so well. The closing stretch between Z-Brats and Paradox was so good. Shun Skywalker is a great heel coupled with Jason Lee."
[9.0] "This was one of those matches with so much action that it felt much longer than it actually was, and in a good way. The first half of the match was entertaining but nothing extraordinary, but this became outstanding by the time the eliminations started. I am loving this string of super Dragon Kid tag bouts. ****1/2"
[9.0] "Now THIS is the kind of match you expect to see at Kobe World shows and has been missing the past few years. This was just a perfect showcase for the Dragongate style and it completely delivered."
