[7.0] "I haven't watched the first night and don't plan on watching most of the tournament. This is curious, as usual with NOAH, the choice of the wrestlers invited is really perplexing, and the NOAH mainstays who are absent from the field just as much. It was a nice show, with good tournament match, but nothing extraordinary. My favorite match was actually the non-tournament junior match. The best tournament match was probably Shiozaki vs Anzai."

[6.0] "First three matches were really good and are certainly worth your time (they're the reason why I rate this show 6, not 5), but every other tournament match was a step down. GLG vs. Ohara/Yoshioka was pretty good, but not everyone is in the mood to watch a 17-minute ***1/4 match even though it had plenty of good action. Atmosphere was similar to Yokohama Budokan show, great matches got good reactions from the small crowd, but when crowd heat wasn't there it was immediately standing out."

[5.0] "I'm starting to understand why the attendance is so low this N-1. Hardly any stories or ones being built. Soya started off strong and next night loses. Ok. Lance Anoai did a little better here than the previous night. The tag match was a lot of fun. The main even was really disappointing. The crowd was really behind Nakajima and Huxley won with a poor display."

[6.0] "A better overall show than the first night of the N-1, but nothing reached the heights of Soya versus Nakajima, and the main event on this night was really underwhelming. This had a better crowd in Koarkuen who were more vocal than the Budokan, so most matches have a charge that only Soya/Nakajima had on the first night."
