[8.0] "Quality match considerably thwarted from ranking even higher due to the flat flash finish. I can understand that they didn't prefer either team looking weak so they let the most inexperienced one take the roll-up pin. Apart from that, the match told a solid and rustic yet well-built story. The execution was precise and proper and the rhythm was on-spot. STRONG HEARTS worked skillfully on Ito's leg tagging in and out frequently to inflict as much damage as possible on it and isolating him from his team member to accrue as many benefits as they possibly could given the situation. In addition, the striking was also worth mentioning especially Ito's and Iizuka's kick-strikes as he fought against the pain and then being dominated by T-Hawk who would have the upper hand in the elbow strike exchange. El Lindaman's agility and athleticism also deserve appreciation. The near falls were well executed and when Ito was recovering from the pain in his leg, it was the hot tag to Iizuka that exuded energy and liveliness into the match. He took on both men as he was the freshest among all four as he spent the least time in the ring. The double-team maneuvers were proof to the cohesion and chemistry of both units. Ito would insert himself into the match after considerably recovering and wreaking havoc whilst selling his injury and trading back and forth with the big gun in T-Hawk and was able to shake him off his footing but faced a similar response from his side too. It was an equally matched and competitive meeting and I absolutely enjoyed it for how long it lasted although the ending could have played out better. ****"
[7.0] "I found this strange, it had lots of great moments but I didn't love it. A match less than the sum of its parts. El Lindaman looks as great as ever. ***1/2"
[7.0] "Good match, good back and forth, some hard strikes, it suffered a bit from the same thing the match before did, the ref not letting Iizuka get in the ring while both members of STRONGHEARTS are beating up Takanori Ito, that was my biggest problem, tho, not quite to the level as it was in the previous match."
[8.0] "T-Hawk and Linda can't have a bad match. Their cardio deep into matches allows them to pull off lightning quick sequences. T-Hawk's strikes were as good as ever. I liked how Ito threw people around, and while Yu definitely looked less experienced, he had some cool holds."
[8.0] "This was a banger. StrongHearts were good with their tag work and they dominated Ito by targeting his knee and Ito did good selling and his power moves were impressive. Yu Izuka was great in this match with his strikes and submission work. The match turned into an all out war which was full of fast paced hard hitting wrestling and all four man shined in this match. 8/10"
