[7.0] "A decent promotion which had some good (mainly imported) talent but compared to the likes of FMW, IWA-Japan couldn't match their talent, their scope or their spectacle. Consistency was the main issue for IWA-Japan, it could be really good and it could be absolutely terrible."

[8.0] "Great deathmatch promotion in the prime is Japans deathmatch scene paired up with W*ING and FMW it might not seem so great but in sheer creativity it shines and stands alone . Between bathhouse matches and actual house matches they innovated and brought some of the most iconic deathmatches ever"

[7.0] "Decent promotion in the 90s, the previous incarnation W*ING was a much better promotion wrestling and event wise. But IWA Japan seemed like it was run better than W*ING unfortunately. Their biggest event was the King of the Deathmatch 1995 pretty overrated event honestly."

[8.0] "A promotion that want to follow a successful way just like their counterpart IWA Puerto Rico, but maybe this promotion it's a mediocre one and can't be sucessful like W*ING but Victor Quinones always know what he want to do to always give and entertain the people. A perfect combination of wrestling, puroresu, and deathmatch all blended into one massive type of pro wrestling. I'm truly satisfied with their match and it's a first time that Great Kabuki experience a deathmatch wrestling in this very classic promotion"

[5.0] "IWA Japan was very mediocre in my opinion, couldn't bring the success or enjoyement of deathmatch wrestling like FMW or even W*ING. they did though put on some nice opening matches though."
