[6.0] "A decent episode, all the fights were good. Taylor Rust is a tough fighter, I'm waiting for his promotion in the company. Tom Lawlor is some kind of eternal champion, when will he be defeated. Karl Fredericks is gaining a foothold in the status of a workhorse - it's great. ETHAN HD impressed me, I will keep an eye on it. 6.5/10"

[5.0] "I raised my expectations a little bit because a title match on this episode, but it was just another episode of STRONG that simply had a title match on it. First two matches felt like a warm-up for the Main Event, but the Main Event itself wasn't that great."

[7.0] "This was another good episode of NJPW Strong, with the first two matches both being entertaining and not overstaying their welcome, and a main event that was a bit long but ultimately very good."

[6.0] "I don't know if there were really any memorable high points in this episode but I thought each match was at least satisfactory. The main event amybe felt a little long for what it was but it was still fine. A '6' seems like a fair rating."

[6.0] "Super solid episode of STRONG with a good title defense and the rest is satisfactory for other reasons too."
