Overall Show Score: 7 / 10
Pros: It felt good watching a New Japan Pro Wrestling Event Again. I like the sound of clapping for a lot of the event and my favourite match was the main event between Kazuchika Okada and Jay White.
Cons: I didn’t enjoy a lot of Japanese talking on this show. The lack of time constraints in most of the matches does affect my enjoyment of them and that 10 minute scramble match was such of waste of time.
