[8.0] "It was a good enough event.The last two matches stole the evening and both was very good to great.The other matches was good with the best of them be Bullet Club vs LIJ.I find Tanahashi's matches with Young Lions good and is also a chance for them to test themselves against someone who is one of the best of all times in one on one matches."

[7.0] "Those were really good Korakuens. Main event and CHAOS vs. TMDK were awesome, I loved Tanahashi vs. young lions and pre-show match was surprisingly bloody. Mid card was fine."

[6.0] "There wasn't a single match that went longer than 15 minutes and although at least the least the main-event should reach that timing this show was mostly enjoyable; it wasn't ling and it was quick and it perfectly knew that its purpose was only to build future matches. ***1/4"

[6.0] "The main and semi main were really good and turned a pretty dull show into an enjoyable watch by the end"

[6.0] "Solid show that gave good previews. Also the TV Title Match was amazing. Very excited for The New Beginning. Besides the TV Title there was nothing extremely shocking/ stunning going on, but for a preview show it was very solid and decendly enjoyable with good matches"
