[7.0] "Der Main Event ist ein weiterer Time Limit Draw zwischen Aono und MIRAI. Das war zwar immer noch gerade so gut, beim dritten Draw in Folge hat sich das aber dann doch schon hart abgenutzt. Storymäßig 'mag das Sinn machen, aber hier hätte man durchaus einen anderen Ausgang haben dürfen."
[5.0] "Like the 6/23 match this started off strong and for a while was looking to be the better of the 3 matches. They kept things fresh for the most part with different moves and sequences from the previous two matches. Miku can sometimes come off as unimpressive in the ring and there was a lot of that here, with a fair number of laughable kicks and strikes that just didnt do it for me. MIRAIs performance was fine - some questionable selling at times - but she shows intensity and urgency to win where Miku just can not match that level in a believable way because she doesnt flow as naturally in the ring as MIRAI does. The end of the regulation time here was a disaster, clearly slowing down to get the finish right which ended up being sloppy anyway and the believability factor was just not there at the end. The final 5 were much better and more like the 6/16 finish. This was both the most promising and the most frustrating of the 3 matches"
[7.0] "This one was much better than the previous one in my opinion. Starting off with a hockey fight, getting deep into a good little story heavy brawl. but again. TOO LONG. We don't need a 20 minute Time Limit Draw for most storylines. We don't need THREE of them for this one. Learn to book other shit Rossy. You're draining us."
[9.0] "Round 3, they have wrestled each other for an hour and there isn't a winner yet, It may be overkill 3 time-limit draws but having the final match a Summer Destiny before facing Bozilla is a smart choice imo, they were going for the Killshot from the start in this match, Mikue finally hit the style clash but she was too tired to pin MIRAI before the 15 minutes time-limit, the next 5 minutes match was pretty good with the last minute being pretty awesome MIRAI had Miku beat when she decapited her with a lariat but the time limit came so we still don't have a winner"
[8.0] "Excellent stuff from MIRAI and Aono that only doesn't get a 9 because of MIRAI doing that annoying thing she does where she's simultaneously a great seller and also a terrible seller (she flops all over the place throughout this match but don't sell a submission move for an eternity and then run around like you're fine 10 seconds later). However, that's a somewhat minor quibble as this ultra-heated and brutal clash loaded with big hits truly feels like we are arriving at the final stretch of this mini-feud and the thematic and athletic culmination of all the matches beforehand. Aono is fantastic in this match with excellent facial expressions and exquisite selling throughout; one really feels in the closing minutes she just wants MIRAI to die but is too wrecked herself to truly deal the death blow. Also, her composing herself whilst standing on the turnbuckles during her entrance, then attacking MIRAI before the bell and then managing this time to hit the Styles Clash were brilliant psychological touches and nailed the aforementioned point that we are arriving at the culmination of this series of matches. Here's hoping the next match involving them is the final one for a while though!"
[6.0] "The least good of their three matches but still a good match with some nice tweak here and there. Both showed more desperation and decided to go all because the two other matches finished on with a time limit draw. My favorite thing about the match is that Miku Aono hit her Styles Clash but the draw occured when she was doing to pin her opponent, the same thing happened when MIRAI was going to pin Aono after a massive lariat, the idea was well executed but I think three limit draws in a row is waaay too much even by Rossy Ogawa's standards, the match was good but dragged a bit a some point and it started to be obvious that we were going to have a third draw - ***1/4"
[6.0] "Das zweite Match der Serie hat mir besser gefallen, aber auch dieses war wieder gut gemacht. Das Finish muss man halt mögen, oder auch nicht, aber ich finde die Storyline hier ziemlich gut gemacht und die Chemie zwischen beiden ist super"
[7.0] "Part III of the United National first round saga. This plays out a lot like the first two matches. That's not necessarily a bad thing, Miku and MIRAI have good chemistry. And the crowd was very much into the match. In the previous matches, Miku wasn't able to hit the Styles Clash and here she was, but just as she was going for the pin time ran out. The extra 5 minutes were very good, they both step it up in trying to get the win before it ends in another draw. There is such a thing as diminishing returns. Doing a draw three times is too much. That said, can't really complain about this match on its own. 7/10"
[8.0] "This was the worst of their 20 minute draw series, even though it was still a pretty great match. They had a long, drawn-out submission spot that got better the longer it went, and some of their lariats exchanges rocked. Aono and MIRAI did stall somewhat towards the end though, as they must have been starting to run out of ideas after wrestling for an accumulated 60 minutes over the past couple weeks. ****"
