FIRST MATCH: FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson) vs. Yuya Uemura & Yota Tsuji
A solid tag opener that got cut short by a sickening botch. Viewer discretion is advised.
Need To Watch Rating: (1.0)
SECOND MATCH: BC OGs (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) vs. Tomoaki Honma & Ren Narita
Honma isn’t really clicking with Narita. Narita carries the team. The Tongans are great as always.
Need To Watch Rating: (2.5)
THIRD MATCH: Togi Makabe, Toa Henare, Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Yuji Nagata, Manabu Nakanishi, Ayato Yoshida & Shota Umino
Amazing undercard tag match that made Toa Henare look like a star. Definitely worth the watch.
Need To Watch Rating: (5.0)
FOURTH MATCH: The Elite (Kota Ibushi, Hangman Page & Yujiro Takahashi) vs. CHAOS (Chuckie T, Beretta & Hirooki Goto)
A wild six-man tag match. Ibushi & Goto have great chemistry as opponents. Chuckie & Beretta are always a delight. Page & Yujiro don’t sleep in this match either. Post-match has Wrestle Kingdom ramifications.
Need To Watch Rating: (5.0)
FIFTH MATCH: CHAOS (SHO, YOH & Kazuchika Okada) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI & Shingo Takagi)
Solid tag match to close out the undercard. Not a lot to write about from this match.
Need To Watch Rating: (1.9)
SIXTH MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki & Takashi Iizuka) vs. Killer Elite Squad (Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr.)
Pardon my french but this match is a f*cking war. Suzuki-gun stablemates pull no punches against each other. Highly recommended for fans of people beating the hell out of their friends.
Need To Watch Rating: (8.1)
SEVENTH MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: CHAOS (Toru Yano & Tomohiro Ishii) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr. & Taichi)
Sabre & Ishii get to preview their WK 13 match, which kinda robs this of any drama. Sabre & Ishii are booked for Wrestle Kingdom, and that likely means neither of these teams will win the tournament. Still a very good match, and far more competitive than the previous match.
Need To Watch Rating: (8.0)
MAIN EVENT: World Tag League Tournament Match: Michael Elgin & Jeff Cobb vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL & SANADA)
Hard hitting, hoss fight. The most competitive match of the night, but still lacking any kind of substance. Cobb comes off like an absolute star. EVIL & SANADA are hungry to repeat their Tag League win from last year. Elgin is also there.
Need To Watch Rating: (7.5)
