Have at it.
For me an easy 10. Start to finish great matches.

11/10. One of my favorite PPVs ever. Great match after great match, big moments, and just straight up fun. Can't wait for next year.

Absolute 10 - one of the best shows I've seen.

6. Too much of NJPW guys looking like punks for me to give it any higher.

Felt the ending was a bit of a dud... and I loved that Claudio got shine.
Gave a 9 for show ending, and Cole getting his bell rung which made the ending awkward.
But before all that? Felt every match was a celebration of both New Japan and AEW. Everybody was given a chance to shine and honestly felt guys like ELP, Shota, and Connors were all given their moments to shine and came out of the show as bigger stars.

Can't give it a ten due to the awkwardness and hopefully-not-serious-injury situation in the IWGP title match, but a very high 9. Crazy good matches, and Claudio in the BCC is everything I ever wanted.
Also, the poll should have included an "I can't count giant swing rotations" option.

10/10
I would have spent 100 dollars on that show, and everyone needs to order the replay if they didn't buy it immediately.
Best PPV of the year, it's not close.

A Shawn Spears out of Preston Vance.
One of my favorite ppvs of all time possibly. One match ended meh-ly but that one's finish couldn't be helped. The ending was eh but nothing about it affected the score at all. OC/Osprey was a gem of a match, as was Claudio/ZSJ. Sting got to be a mad man again and FTR proves to be the best tag team of all time imo.
Could have used another big win for NJPW, but Osprey and White winning still felt like big enough wins that NJPW didn't feel lesser in any way.

6. Too much of NJPW guys looking like punks for me to give it any higher. Idk what "Looking like punks" even means, every match I saw put the NJPW guys over as big deals and some of them were the MVPs of their matches win or lose Like should more of them have won? Maybe, but if they do Forbidden Door II in Japan, they probably win more there... home turf matters imo.

I did 7. I liked it a lot, some of the finishes were meh for me. I did like the show a lot and loved how Claudio looked.
I’d love to hear from the people voting “1”. Interested to see why the show was bad.

10. The ending was an odd choice, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. Great show from top to bottom.

10. Terrible ending aside, it’s up there with the first UWF vs. NJPW show as the best crossover in wrestling history.

Gave it a 9. Honestly, I loved the pay-per-view all around (even if I let myself get hyped for OC winning), but the worst match had to be the IWGP Title match. And I'm not even saying it was a bad match, but it just wasn't really clicking for me at all, and then Cole got his bell rung (which I somehow blinked and missed), so it felt like it ended abruptly.

I truly believe Ishii was going to win the All Atlantic title, and when New Japan decided to have Connors take his place they decided to go with Pac. But add in Shingo getting the pin rather than Sting or Darby and that's the other compromise.

Interested to see why the show was bad. They aren't board members. They only registered to vote low on polls to be trolls. However, the guy that does the stats for these has stated unless they justify the '1's he doesn't count them. Personally, I would count them as a 10 vote. All that being said it's best to never mention them. They don't exist otherwise anyway.

It was pretty much like the All Out 2021 ending, with Claudio getting his shining moment(It wouldve looked much better if it was his debut right there like the original plan was before BD went down)

That would be amazing.

Was on the fence about buying it...decided it was cheaper than a night out...
Easy 9. Infinitely better pacing than the last PPV. I'm only a casual NJPW fan, and I was still into it.
