[7.0] "It's impossible to go wrong with these two, their series is great and this is a good match despite the ending of it, it really reached it goal and delivered really well especially at this point of both guys career, personally that was a blast to watch. ***1/4"
[6.0] "This is a fairly disappointing outing between Hashimoto and Choshu. They mostly exchange strikes and it feels like we never hit second gear. The biggest downside is the screwy no-contest finish. Admittedly, the crowd is pretty hot for this one so that it elevates it slightly."
[7.0] "This was a great and hateful brawl between two who can't stand each other. The beginning with Hashimoto not moving which annoyed Choshu was really interesting, and after Hashimoto started fighting, he beat up Choshu with anger and he stay on top the most of the match but Riki Choshu was tough enough to withstand the blows of Hashimoto. The ending was really confusing, it ended like that for no real reasons...though it didn't ruin the entire match it's a fucked up ending - ***1/2"
[4.0] "The battle starts off with Hashimoto refusing to get out of the corner, threatening to leave the match, but then comes back and starts destroying Choshu. Nakanishi gets on the corner and tells Hashimoto to stop. Choshu comes back with a lucky shot, and then the two separate only to have a slugfest where Choshu bests his opponent with a backdrop. Shinya gets up, eats three lariats, then falls. The crowd is firmly behind Choshu as with every shot he lands, they erupt. Not much in terms of moves here, just straight-up nasty-looking strikes. A suplex or DDT here and there. This is kinda like the Nagata/Tenzan match from earlier in the night, but you can tell the crowd is more emotionally invested in this. The ref keeps going to Fujinama, whos on commentary and I guess, begging for the match to be stopped, kinda of a disappointment there. This could have been much better than it was. Kinda sad it ended like that."
