[6.0] "probably the weakest NJPW Academy Showcase show so far (well the fifth show was worse), specially when the last one was pretty good, still the main event was pretty good"

[7.0] "Maybe it wasn't that impressive like some others NJPW Academy events but i think it was a good event.Taylor vs Jaz and the main event was the best matches and both was good enough.I guess after Bright pinned Tino he will have a chance for strong survivor title that Tino has."

[5.0] "*Norm MacDonald voice* "All the stars are here! " The main event was alright and the semi-main was very good for this series of shows, but all the Academy shows suffer from this problem where "the moves" are more important than connecting with the audience but also few can do the moves. It's sort of delusional to consider any of this New Japan, and is just a way for potential bookers to find local talent in SoCal."
