[7.0] "Two extra points in my score for the main event alone, because the rest of this ranges from weak to slightly above average, with the only exception being Fujita vs. Masaoka, which I though was good. Particularly disappointed at the Hardcore Tag Team match."

[10.0] "It was a great event.Fujita vs Masaoka was very good match and it will be nice if we really see Masaoka on next year's BOSJ.The first hardcore match was great.Suzu shows how amazing she is once again.She's great as normal wrestler, one of the best in the world and in hardcore her work is also amazing and she shows that she's in her playground.The main event was of course perfect for hardcore match and i don't think anyone else expected something less from both Desperado and Kasai.The promo at the end from Kasai i can say it was epic and i think only in Japanese wrestling we can see promos like this."

[10.0] "Say what you will, this one surely wasn't the best show in terms of wrestling as everything other than the hardcore matches was fine at best but that fucking promo at the end and the promise to wrestle again in 10 years was absolutely amazing. The main-event event is the literal MOTY too. *****"

Rudakov wrote on 27.06.2025:

[7.0] "Good show with historic main event and great crowd. This was very close to being one-match-card, maybe only Takeda & Fukimoto vs. ladies did go full speed, while in other matches it was clearly a low effort job like puddling pre-main with some comedy, putting together veteran tag and making both junior matches a short exhibitions for FREEDOMS folks. ROLLING CRADLE still doesn't miss, but this was by far their weakest card, hope future shows not gonna take this route."

Galdr wrote on 27.06.2025:

[6.0] "Pretty weak show outside of the main event, which was fine but self-indulgent. The tag match with Suzuki and Yamashita was OK, but everything else was very underwhelming."

MrRollUp wrote on 26.06.2025:

[8.0] "Just for the main event and the match with Suzu Suzuki and Rina, this show easily deserves an 8. Time flew by, and as Jun would say at the end of the show: "see you in 2035.""

[9.0] "Great show, two tremendous matches and nothing that was bad or dragged. Well worth the asking price. Desperado vs Kasai is an easy MotY Contender. ****3/4"

[8.0] "Very solid show with a nice and harmless beginning and the best Death Match yet to finish things off"
