Wrestling Dontaku 1993
"Wrestling Dontaku" was a huge success as the event drew a huge crowd of 55,000 spectators at the Fukuoka Dome. However, the event received mixed reviews from critics. Kevin Wilson of "Puroresu Central" considered that he would not recommend the event to watch, with "Muta vs. Hogan was a spectacle worth watching but nothing else on this tape is worth going out of your way to see. The main event was old school, but nothing great. The Liger match was disappointing, the Sting match was short and inconclusive, the Warriors match was fun but pretty normal for them and the rest ranged from bad to decent." He praised the champion vs. champion match between Muta and Hogan, considering it the best match of the event and the only worthwhile match of the event. He gave the match a rating of 7.6. The main event tag team match considered it to be "classic old school battle, consisting of submission holds (many meaningless) and a slow pace that builds up to a hot ending. There was nothing really wrong with this match, but it was pretty slow and the crowd only got really into it when Inoki was involved". He noted that the match got underway just due to Inoki's fanbase but the quality of the match "wasn’t great by any means".
