[7.0] "hoss gaijin fight between two of the best big men gaijin ever. this is way more basic than they could do but is an honest battle that make some goosebump moments"
[9.0] "Great an exciting boss fight, probably held back by the count out finish to some. I think it makes perfect sense within a tournament context. The crowd went crazy for this match."
[6.0] "Vader works this well, and both guys look good. Norton can always sell if he wants, and he does here, and Vader also lets him get in a lot of short arm lariats, charge, and the like. Norton looks awkward at points and badly telegraphs certain spots, but this is intense, stiff, and fun. Vader even hits a Sunset Flip! I even the countout victory. Vader listens to the countout carefully, all the while repeatedly knocking Norton back down, before running into the ring to beat the count. Tactics to deal with an opponent who won't stay down - keeps Norton strong too. 3/5"
[7.0] "I really enjoyed the stiffness in this one. You can feel the impact on every hit, the pain on every clothesline. In regard to Scott Norton's limited capacities, a big baby like Vader is an opponent who perfectly fits to give Norton some credibility (Vader can give credibility to anybody, anyway. He is awesome). The crowd and the commentators were on fire on this match."
[5.0] "Very high intensity here, but for whatever reason they don't seem to quite click and can't get into that next level. I thought the finish was pretty disappointing as well, the two big men deserved a better one than that."
