[5.0] "There was literally one match and it was average so the pre-show was at the same level of the only bout featured in it: quite low. It was so quick too that it really was inoffensive and felt like a neutral watch. It makes little sense to consider this a true kick-off. **1/2"

[3.0] "Sehr durchwachsenen American Young Lions Match und dann einfach nur ein Card Rundown... war halt eine Pre-Show für ein B-PPV (PLE? ) von NJPW. Gibt nicht viel mehr zu sagen, außer das Zane Jays Promo auch leicht unterdurchschnittlich war."

[3.0] "Young American lions are not going to excite American audience, so it was a bit sad watching them try and almost no one caring, including the impassioned promo afterwards. Then, Walker and Veda ran down the card in a very perfunctory manner. Overall I can't call it "adequate"."

[4.0] "A bland and boring match.... Are they both young lions from the LA dojo? Either way, this match certainly didn't make me excited for the main show and if I wasn't streaming it it certainly wouldn't have made me buy it."

[5.0] "Zane Jay vs CJ Tino: They did what they could and I did kind of get invested having never seen Tino wrestle, have seen Jay wrestle and glad he continues to be STRONG Survivor, the crowd did not seem to invested though which may or may not be surprising [**]"

[6.0] "Solid kickoff. Both guys got some good moves in and it managed to get me kind of invested, even though I knew neither one of them. The crowd was decently interested too"
