"By this time in '23, and probably before, AJPW has me hooked on all streamed shows. I love this roster and where so-many are now within the story-arc of their careers: Miyahara obvious superstar, Aoyagi a righteously elevated #2 after a title reign that was the first to really shine since one of his tag-partner's (his faceplant selling the exhaustion of the draw from a show or two, three prior was something fantastic) Honda & Anzai the new generation each compelling and unique, the just-down-mean esteemed freelancer Nakajima bullying middling midcard talent Omori, the throwback Saito brothers w/ a kickass nwa guitar entrance theme, Shuji who though has been lowered within kayfabe hierarchy is having a solid workhorse year, the list could go on...and with so many shows having no commentary I feel it's easier to enjoy the shows, the vibes in-the-halls, etc. {Geez I hate 90% of the commentators at-least 40% of the time. Talk, talk, talk, words, words, words.} Every performer interested me save for Kuroshio who is now seemingly in the Yoshi-Tatsu position. I enjoy the character, but I also remember when he used to work. But he just got back so I should cut him some slack. None of the individual matches are notable, but as it stands now, I like this product."

[6.0] "Good little show from ShinKiba. The crowd here is always hot and into everything which makes for a fun watch even when the matches are mostly average to good, which was the case here. I liked the four Junior matches more than the tags; they did a nice job making all four feel different despite all going about the same length and three out of four going to a ten minute draw."
