[6.0] "A bit better than the 1st night of Kobe World 2022, featuring a slightly greater quantity and quality of good matches, though there were still quite a few skippable undercard matches. Z-Brats vs Kung Fu Masters had was surprisingly spirited for an opener, with the 4 men from the prior night's MOTN Twin Gate match once again working really well together. KFM's 'kung fu' spots were all quite entertaining, while Z-Brats' aggressive heel work was all good, too. Good match, and literally the only worthwhile lower-card match on this show. ***1/4. The veterans' 6-man tag was much lower effort and more comedy-based. Quite absurd but mildly entertaining at times. **. The 8-man tag had a bit more effort due to the younger and better-skilled wrestlers like U-T, Ishin, and Fuda, making for some decently exciting moments. Still quite short, but worked well for its time. **1/2. Fujii & Dia vs Kikuta & Yoshida was another decent match that was undeveloped due to its short length. Dia and Kikuta both showed good energy and clean technique, while Fujii and Yoshida worked decently, too. **1/2. Kondo & Owashi vs Doi & Minorita was okay but yet another match too short and basic to be anything other than forgettable. Kondo and Owashi's powerhouse work was fine but limited, while Doi and Minorita's speedy and agile spots were okay. Minorita's cheeky shenanigans were quite entertaining. **1/4. Hyo vs Kento finally gave us another decent undercard match. It was initially enjoyably fast-paced and smooth, but then they heavily slowed down for Kento's (still decent) control period. Hyo showed good energy and agility in his comeback, and their 50/50 trades following that were quite good, albeit quite mindlessly structured and repetitive. ***. The legends vs LPMJ 6-man tag was slow, sloppy, and uneventful. It had some fine spots but was mostly just a very cheesy and forced 'babyfaces overcome the dastardly heels' match for nostalgia's sake. *3/4. The M3K vs Natural Vibes vs High End Triangle Gate match was building up to be really good but then ended relatively quickly at only 15 minutes. That was still enough time for all 3 teams and all 9 men to show off their stuff and hit some impressively impactful, smooth, fast-paced, and creative spots/exchanges, but it felt like they left a bit on the table. Still a pretty good match. ***1/4 - ***1/2. Yoshioka vs Minoura was really good, ending up as MOTN and also my 2nd favourite match of the 2 days of Kobe World. It was a really generic Dream Gate 'bombfest', but those bombs were still delivered really well. Their trades and counters were all good, especially when they picked up the pace. Throughout this, Minoura played a good arrogant heel and Yoshioka played a nicely valiant and fiery babyface. They definitely went overkill with their many big moves, finishers, and kick-outs, but it was all still really exciting. I was relieved to see Yoshioka retain, and I'm interested to see how he draws as the new champ. ***1/2"
[4.0] "Overall this was better than night one due to a higher average quality helped by a shorter duration. It was still too long, that average quality still wasn't good enough and it didn't peak as strongly as night one. The best match was the main and the Brave Gate title match wasn't too far behind. The Perros vs UD/Hijo/Sasuke match was pretty bad. Some decent stuff elsewhere but as I mentioned before, the length really hurt the Kobe World shows."
[5.0] "Undercard on this show was a filler, but it flew by. Brave Gate/Triangle Gate matches were good, but not great (which imo is underwhelming for Kobe World), but the Main Event did what it needed to do - it established Yuki Yoshioka as a strong and credible Dream Gate champion. As of right now, it feels like every champion belongs in their spot (yes, even H.Y.O, though bell-to-bell both of his title defenses were not anything special, but if you look at the big picture - he will be an important wrestler after he drops the belt) and even though there's not a lot of momentum coming out of these two shows, it feels like anything can happen at the next Korakuen Hall show. In a vacuum, if this show was called 'Gate of Destiny' or something else instead of 'Kobe World Pro-Wrestling Festival', I don't think anyone would notice - this card didn't live up to its name imo, maybe it would if you would add Twin Gate match from Day 1. My point here is that these big two-night events is something that will go away in the near future, I think enough fans already experienced how underwhelming at least one of two 'big' shows usually is. Old 'sharks' were really the ones who benefited here - they need to make their money somehow, so they used this idea to get a double booking (and probably a double payday) and it seems like Los Perros will be around at least for a little longer."
