[8.0] "It was a really enjoyed this event.The best matches was the last four and for me all of them was very good.Plus we have three title changes and the debut fpr two more young lions."
[6.0] "Yet another dreadfully dull undercard, followed by a dreadfully fine second half of the show. The Jr tag was pretty great, Finlay vs SANADA was good and the main was just about fine. A bad crowd didn't help matters either. Middle of the road show. 6/10"
[5.0] "There were some good matches on this show, but a weak main event and a boring undercard really hurt the show for me. Overall, I'd say it was pretty average as far as New Japan shows go. [MOTN: Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney vs. Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles]"
[5.0] "Half of this card is tag matches you don't need to see. The other half, outside of a plodding main event, has some decent action but the crowd is so dead by that point that it hurts the matches. War Dogs vs TMDK is where the card picks up and I'd call that my favourite match of the night."
[5.0] "Die Undercard war absolut Uninteressant. Da war nux gescheites dabei, erst ab dem NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship Match wird es etwas interessanter. Das der Titel allerdings wieder wechseln muss und das nach grade mal glaube Ich 7 Tagen Titelregentschaft, der LIJ Mitglieder, finde Ich etwas unnötig. Grade Tanahashi, Boltin Oleg (Der mal lieber auf Exkursion gehen sollte) & Toru Yano brauche ich nicht als Champions. Das Match war Okey. Ab dem IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championship Match, wird es dann wirklich Gut. Ein Gutes Tag Team Match was man definitiv sehen muss. Das Drilla Maloney & Clark Connors Hier verteidigen, finde Ich aber sehr gut (****). Henare vs. Shingo ist dann einfach Stiff & Ich mag diesen Stil. Das ist das, was den NEVER Championship, immer interessant gemacht hat. Ich denke nur an so Leute wie Shibata, Goto, Suzuki. Das macht den Titel einfach aus & Ich finde Henare passt da einfach rein. Er hat mich die letzen Monate schon krass positiv überrascht und hat sich echt gut entwickelt, weshalb der Titelwechsel hier auch vollkommen in Ordnung ist (****1/4). David Finlay vs. Sanada war auch schon echt gut gewesen. Das Finlay hier verteidigt ist auch in Ordnung (****). Den Main Event hatte Ich mir etwas anders vorgestellt. Natürlich passt dieses ganze "No Weapons Ding in die Story, aber ein Steel Cage Match sollte schon etwas Brutalität haben. Leider hat es mir nicht so ganz gefallen, aber zum Glück gewinnt hier El Desperado & macht dem ganzen House Of Tourture Schwachsinn in der Jr. Division wieder ein Strich durch die Rechnung (***). Insgesamt gebe Ich der gesamten Show, 5 Punkte."
[6.0] "Beim schauen hatten dieses Event schon Spaß gemacht, Richtig drüber nachgedacht war die Show allerdings nur solide. Die erste Hälfte war ohne echte Highlights. Der Main Event hat mich dann definitiv enttäuscht. Zeitverschwendung war Soul aber auf keinen Fall"
[7.0] "Daiki Nagai vs Masatora Yasuda: A typical first exposure of young lions to NJPW fans match, the action was what you would expect from first time young lions [**]. United Empire vs Katsuya Murashima, Satoshi Kojima, Shoma Kato, Tomoaki Honma & Tomohiro Ishii: In the short amount of time they had, they tried to fit as much action in as possible, Jeff Cobb showing his power prowess, young lions looked decently well, Satoshi Kojima back in a NJPW ring was good to see [**3/4]. DOKUI & Taichi vs Ren Narita & Yoshinobu Kanemaru: By HOT standards, this was an okay match for the most part but the HOT tactics being used at the end did put a spoil on things in this match [**]. Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI vs Dick Togo & EVIL: A house show standard tag team match, nothing memorable happened in this one, Bishamon getting the win was the right call here [**]. Tetsuya Naito & Titan vs TAKA Michinoku & Yuya Uemura: Titan had an interesting interaction with Uemura that I would like to see them go at it in a singles match down the road, but otherwise the match was okay, too short time wise though, could not get into the gear that they needed [**]. Boltin Oleg, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Toru Yano vs BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi & Yota Tsuji: This was the rematch from Dominion, but it was not as good unfortunately, LIJ losing the titles a week after winning them did not make sense, Tsuji and Boltin had some intriguing moments in the ring together [*3/4]. Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney vs Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles: A well worked tag team title match, the action being spilled out into the crowd as well as the in ring work made for a interesting match that had some decent sequences involving the ever so improving Fujita, who put on a great performance, War Dogs getting the win was not the right choice as I felt like TMDK needed the win here and should have won [***3/4]. HENARE vs Shingo Takagi: In a match that was just like their match at Dominion, it showed how physical both of the wrestlers can be, HENARE taking a lot of punishment just like Takagi, it was hard to tell at times who could have won which turned out to be HENARE which was good to see [****1/2]. David Finlay vs SANADA: In what was a rematch from the 2023 NJC tournament final, they went out there and had a great compelling match that had solid back and forth action, Finlay was out to prove he could beat SANADA which he did [****1/2]. El Desperado vs SHO: SHO finally since joining the HOT put on a good match that I was invested throughout in, despite the rest of HOT trying to come out and infiltrate the cage structure before Hontai came out and evened the odds, Despy and SHO threw everything they had and more at each other for nearly 30 minutes and while it is not the perfect match, it is still worth a watch [****1/2]"
[6.0] "Nicht schlecht aber für die Länge der Show (fast 5 Stunden, was einfach viel zu viel ist), haben mir die wirklich guten Matches gefehlt. Henare vs. Shingo, Finlay vs. Sanada und BC vs. TMDK habe ich alle bei 7 Punkten und speziell für Henare freut es mich sehr, dass er endlich seinen ersten Titel gewinnen konnte. Den Main Wvent fand ich an sich auch ganz nett aber irgendwie zu lang mit zu wenig Feuer, vielleicht war ich aber auch einfach müde von der Show. Der Rest war okay und solide. Erwähnenswert ist noch, dass Oleg Boltin als Rookie BUSHI pinnen konnte, was man sonst so nicht sieht."
[7.0] "I just want to ask....What was the point of putting the NEVER 6 man belts on LIJ if you were just going to take them off them again after a week? ! Beyond that this show was fine for what it was. I'm also glad that the House of Torture is now on their last legs at this point with them getting their tails handed to them"
[6.0] "Undercard was forgettable and HENARE/Takagi underdelivered a little bit, but Main Event was all about Desperado getting his revenge and winning the title once again, Sanada vs. Finlay really clicked in the last few minutes and exceeded my expectations overall and Moloney/Connors were doing cool moves, looked like badass and decisively won in the end - those three matches were absolutely worth my time."
[6.0] "Not as good as dominion but still worth a watch. The undercard ranged from inoffensive to good and the featured matches mostly delivered. SANADA and Finlay both have the unique ability to take a match that feels like it should be better than it is and the main event was a little long and meandering after the second long show in a week. 6.5/10"
[7.0] "The undercard was a little slow, but overall the main matches absolutely delivered, especially the Never and Global Title matches. G1 announcement was also anticipated; can't wait for Takeshita to tear it up!"
[6.0] "The problem is that undercard as usual is just too long and boring, if it had been the half of what it was the show would habe been way more enjoyable. Other than that, the main-card luckly was absolutely amazing and HENARE vs Shingo was near to be a Classic. ***1/4"
