[9.0] "The Motor City Machine Guns were a tough act to follow, and an easy act to emulate. Instead, Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA built their own identity and put their own twist on whatever it was that they incorporated from MCMG. It's rare to see two legitimately elite technical wrestlers in a tag team. It's also rare to see those wrestlers show the capability of flying high, when need be. That's what The Time Splitters accomplished in a magnificent fashion."
[9.0] "This is a team that made no sense to me when I first heard they'd work together but they just absolutely made it work. Two great wrestlers in the junior division together as one of the best tag teams of the division this side of the millennium."
[9.0] "great tag team, Shelley and Kushida just have chemistry and one of the top teams in NJPW junior tag division. it Can be argued that they was just as good as Sabin and Shelley"
[9.0] "A great team, in some ways I actually like them more than MCMG. KUSHIDA is a rare talent and Shelley brings his tag experience to bear very well."
[8.0] "While I'm not sure they have quite the same level of tag team chemistry Shelley had with Chris Sabin, he and KUSHIDA do work very well together as a team and have some great tandem offense. Individually, too, the technical skill of both men is always a joy to watch."
[8.0] "Amazing tag team. 3rd best in the whole world at the moment, just after The Young Bucks & reDRagon. KUSHIDA is incredibly fun to watch (one of my favorites) and Shelley is also cool."
[9.0] "So eine art Japanische Variation von den Motor City Machine Guns. Ich finde sie verdammt gut im Ring und sie sind sehr Unterhaltsam. Auch als Singles Wrestler Gut!"
[10.0] "Überragendes Tag-Team zweier bärenstarker In-Ring-Worker. Shelley und KUSHIDA stehen sich in nichts nach und liefern beide ohne Probleme tolle Matches ab. Hervorragende Konstellation."
[9.0] "Alex Shelley successfully reincarnates his MCMG chemistry in the form of KUSHIDA. Their chemistry rivals that of Himself and his original partner Chris Sabin."
[9.0] "Eigentlich sollte Alex Shelley doch schon lange nicht mehr im Team antreten, sondern stattdessen im Main Event mitmischen – aber egal. Wenn ein solch starkes Team mit tollen Teammanövern rum kommt, sag ich auch nicht "Nein"!"
[8.0] "Wie auch bei den Forever Hooligans kamen die Time Splitters mehr oder weniger aus dem Nichts und haben sich von dort aus zu einem beeindruckenden Jr. Tag Team entwickelt, das binnen weniger Matches zusammenarbeitete, als hätten die beiden Wrestler ihr Leben lang nichts anderes getan. Ich hoffe noch viele weitere Matches von Shelley und KUSHIDA in diesem Team zu sehen."
