[5.0] "This has been a nice mini-feud during the Destruction tour to get the Mad Bastards over as a team. The structure of the match did a lot to get the Korakuen fans into everything. Nothing outstanding, Ishii and Kidd doing their thing, Honma getting beat up, making a comeback and then losing quickly. **3/4"
"This one was just plain fun from the get. You would never guess that Ishii just came back from a US tour, and everyone involved hammed it up for the crowd."
[6.0] "An enjoyable Strong Style battle highlighted by the incredible interactions between Ishii and Kidd, the ending was great too with Lee destroying Honma in front of the Stone Pitbull's eyes. The brawl into the arena before the bout was also enjoyable. ***1/4"
[6.0] "A brutal, fan match that was a big improvement on their match on the previous night. The Mad Bastards are turning into a very interesting tag team. Also more credit to Chris Charlton too, who has a way of giving relevant backstory, in this case about Tomoaki Honma, that adds another layer to the match."
