EIGHTH MATCH: NEVER Openweight Championship Match: Hirooki Goto (c) vs. Taichi
This is a thrilling title match, ultimately weighed down by the usual Suzuki-gun shenanigans. Taichi is proving that he’s a damn good heavyweight, and that his exclusion from the G1 Climax was borderline criminal. Goto remains the solid hand that has made him world renown. Ultimately an entertaining bout.
Need To Watch Rating: (10.0)
MAIN EVENT: Tetsuya Naito vs. Minoru Suzuki
Suzuki continues his war on Tetsuya Naito’s knees. Naito is having a rudderless year, and this match is a good reminder of why he’s such a beloved figure. Suzuki is there to stretch that beloved figure into sickening positions.
