[6.0] "This was alright. The show is spilt into basically two halves: the first half being basically a AJPW nostalgia walkthrough with showcases of old talent mixed in with new, vignettes throughout the show from guys like Dory Funk, Tenryu, and a whole bunch of others. Ok opener with Jinsei being surprisingly agile for his age. The second match is basically the pinnacle of the nostalgia section here as we get a ton of old AJPW vets along with some nice features: this match is obviously the weakest in terms of performance by far given how most of these guys aren't really up to ring standard anymore outside of Omori's fire and Suzuki being decent, very shippable and basically here because of their vet status. Second part is more focused on a mix of NJPW talent, and it's a lot more solid, with BUSHI pulling out a nice performance against the rookie Aoyagi, who was fairly green here but didn't look bad at any point. Best match was by far Nagata/Aoyagi vs Suzuki/Sato, with the latter as usual pulling out a great performance for his age and had some neat interactions with Nagata, who can still go. The rookie Aoyagi does alright, nothing special, but Suzuki and him get a bit more out of the guy than perhaps he would usually and gets the crowd behind him. Main event is quite a mixed bag: Kojima and Suwama were great, Muto looked quite rusty (considering this was not long after his knee surgery, not surprising) and Tenzan is as limited as he usually is but Kojima and him can work off their natural chemistry with each other just fine. This wasn't great but I felt like it picked up when Suwama or Kojima were working as they were by far the most capable and over. All in all a satisfactory show with some good to decent matches, but I'd say that the first half is FAR worse than the second, I'd recommend watching the entrances to the second match and then skipping."

[7.0] "Super easy card to watch. Highlights were the junior match between BUSHI and Aoyagi and the two following contests. Fun stuff all around. Check it out in full on Youtube, it's a good one."
