[7.0] "This was a good episode that could have been great, but all of the matches under delivered a bit. The opener between Jonathan Gresham and Alex Coughlin from the Alex Coughlin Challenger Series was the match of the night, although even it didn't reach the heights I expected. Fred Rosser, Kyle Fredericks, Ren Narita, Rocky Romero, and The DKC got a disqualification win over Team Filthy thanks to the interference of the debuting new incarnation of Black Tiger. Daniel Garcia and VLNCE UNLTD defeated Stray Dog Army in an enjoyable match, before Suzuki-gun battered Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxly in a Philadelphia Streetfight in the main event."
[7.0] "This was a good show if not spectacular. The opener was really great. A few nice surprises, with the return of Gabriel Kidd and the debut of the new Black Tiger, and a nice chaotic main event."
[7.0] "This was a slightly disappointing show given the quality of the wrestlers on the card, apart from the first match I would have expected more from most of them. Add to that Strong's ongoing production issues with sound and lighting, and the inexplicable removal of half of Kidd's promo and this ends up beign a weaker show than it should have been. It was still mostly enjoyable, but with a few small tweaks it could have been essential. That said, when a 7 is disappointing it shows how much potential there is here, and hopefully New Japan will start to give Strong a higher priority soon, I could easily see it filling the gap Ring Of Honor will leave."
[7.0] "This was a good episode of strong with three good matches, including the two multi-man tags that I would call very good. It is nice to see them developing and continuing angles regularly, as that was so, etching that was often lacking in NJPW Strong's first year."
