Ikemen
Samurai (Masakatsu Funaki & Jiro Kuroshio) vs. New Wild Order (AKIRA &
Manabu Soya)
Good
tag team match with Kuroshio as a centerpiece of storytelling. I didn’t like
him before, but all this teaming with Masa Funaki is doing wonders for him,
they’re such an unusual duo and it works for both. Soya was excellent in this
one, by the way.

Masato
Tanaka vs. KAI
Typical
Masato Tanaka tussles have both good and not so good parts. However, the good
parts can be really fucking great sometimes and save the match, and that was
the case here. He didn’t do his table spot, which is nice. KAI is on the
winning streak and ready for a shot at Muto.

Wrestle-1 Tag Championship: Too
Sharp (Minoru Tanaka & Seiki Yoshioka) vs. Team 246 (Kaz Hayashi &
Shuji Kondo) ©
Mostly
lifeless match. Minoru is still awesome, though, and you’d think the fallman
should be obvious here, but take a better look. Basically, those two things
saved the match from being bad. I could live without seeing another Kaz Hayashi
match ever again. I wish Kondo would break away already.

Yusuke
Kodama vs. Seiki Yoshioka
Solid
match between the young guys, but could’ve/should’ve been better. I did like
the BattleARTS inspired strikes, though. :)

Masato
Tanaka vs. Shuji Kondo
A
Masato Tanaka match. Too bad Kondo’s carryjob button wasn’t on the whole time.
