[9.0] "One of the better shoot-style promotions in the early 1990s, although it is not as well-known. It had a very gritty feel with a lot of good up-and-coming talent that would later make a name for themselves, including Ken Shamrock, Minoru Suzuki, Masataku Funaki, Yuki Ishikawa, and Daisuke Ikeda."

[7.0] "A terrific promotion with some fantastic matches, but suffered a lot with a lack of defined true draws outside of Fujiwara himself, leading to them having to do crossover shows a lot more and really diluting the gritty atmosphere that it created from the early shows. This was namely due to it being a very small promotion that was stuck between a ton of far bigger promotions, thus having to fight over the scraps left over. It had no real chance of competing against UWF-I (despite that incarnation of the company also suffering from being farcical with NJPW and WAR crossover material, which soured fans away) and essentially became DOA after the exodus of multiple young talent (namely the Shamrock brothers, Suzuki and Funaki) to Pancrase, leaving a very noticeable gap in star power that wouldn't get any better. Early PWFG pre-exodus is great, post-exodus is far more mixed and tends to be more worse for wear in terms of quality outside of matches here and there (including Dick Murdoch randomly showing up a month before dying and having a great match with Fujiwara? I guess that's something)."
