[8.0] "This is good. Great focus on Tanizaki in the beginning as he pretends to leave after a disagreement with Saito but returns to eliminate Doi. This infuriates CIMA who ends up eliminating Tanizaki. Dragon Kid is eliminated shortly after and with only two members Mori as a captain has to be more involved and gets some punishment but survives and with a great counter and a lot of resilience is able to get a big win."
[9.0] "One of the best matches of 2006, for sure. The match starts off relentlessly but slows down without sacrificing the energy set by the opening fracas. The match incorporates some storytelling with Tanizaki teasing a heel turn but that? s turned on its head for the first elimination. The match integrates singular feuds, like Dragon Kid v Masato Yoshino and Anthony W. Mori vs Magnitude Kishiwada with tremendous tag team wrestling. The match peaks with the amazing closing stretch with the drama of the two captains fighting to beat each other. CIMA is the glue of the match for me, along with Dragon Kid and Ryo Saito. He had some great exchanges with Tanizaki but also showed good character work and true leadership instincts, ordering his troops into action constantly. One of my favourite things about the match is it didn? t do the obvious trope of going down to the last man. There was enough drama in the 3 v 2 disadvantage and it made use of the Captain? s Falls and the heightened stakes that it brought to the match. ****1/2"
[7.0] "Blood Generation colliding with Do FIXER and Mori. To win the match you have to eliminate the team captain (Kishiwada and Mori), you can still eliminate the other team members to gain an advantage. Naturally the captains are not often involved at the beginning and the teammates are really cautious. They will when the adrenaline of the match will peak, especially that the two captains are set to face off for the Dream Gate title. It's a good match, helped by the stipulation."
