[5.0] "I am a reasonably big Danshoku Dino fan, so while I am partial to his antics (and admitting love little moments like Ishikawa being upset over his rejection) I do understand why people felt he got in the way of something with stakes as big as this. Still, it's kind of... absurd to watch DDT if you can't handle a little silly in your main event, and think this was still a strong closing match, overshadowed by the powerhouse spectacle before it though it may have been. Ishikawa's willingness to play off of Danshoku was honestly surprising to me given what I've seen from him in other promotions. KANON was who I thought should have won this at the time, but in hindisght the Hideaki/Damanation angle they had planned for him is a far more interesting storybeat for him, I think. All that really leaves is the wrestling, which... Ishikawa is hit or miss. His big bombs are great but he has some of the worst looking running knees on the planet, and there's more than a few of those in this match."
[2.0] "This was meant to be the main event? Yikes... it felt like more of a comedy opener with the way Danshoku Dino was fucking around and doing his usual bullshit. I don't see why the Takeshita match couldn't have mained over this. Anyways, the reason I didn't give this a zero is because the rest of the wrestling in this was somewhat solid"
[7.0] "I don't have any problem with Danshoku. I know that he can be a good wrestler, so, I enjoyed this match. There was some Danshoku comedy and his interactions with KANON was very interesting and after that I think about their match in the future. Ishikawa is Ishikawa. Big mountain, who's destroyed everyone and chose very good moments to join the game. HARASHIMA also was fine, beause he is still one of the best veteran all over the world and one of the best wrestler in DDT. His interactions with Shuji was hard and tough. Anyway, I don't say anything about KANON, but he was an interesting underdog in this match up, who's took a lot of punches on himself."
[3.0] "What was Danshoku Dino doing in this match. I like his comedy stuff but this wasn't the place for his shenanigans. It left the match lacking a legitimate main event feeling."
[4.0] "felt not main event worthy on an overall solid card, could have used a different pace or match up on talent. Would have been best as 2nd match, really hard to go after the stellar tag match"
[6.0] "Meh i'm always going to iffy on a Danshoku Dieno match with stakes. Take him out, let these three drastically different guys go at it and it could be a stellar match."
