No title changes yet as Kenny Omega retained the belt in a match that only had a few high spots through the first 15 minutes and was kind of slow but the last 5 minutes were great.

Sekimoto and Okabayasji retained in a great match that was just under 20 minutes. At least 4+ stars and had the crowd the whole time.

1. Hayashi, Minoru Tanaka & Akira Raijin beat KAI, Hiroshi Yamato & Gillette in a fun opener.

2. Akebono, Ryota Hama, Taiyo Kea & Masanobu Fuchi beat Osamu Nishimura, KENSO, Yutaka Yoshie and Yasufumi Nakanoueno in another fun match when Akebono pinned Najanoueno

3. SUGI beat RONIN in a short sloppy match that also featured 2 or 3 of the best high flying spots you’ll ever see.

4. All Asia Tag Team Championship: [Champions] Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi beat [Challengers] Suwama & Takumi Soya
5. World Junior Heavyweight Championship Match: [Champion] Kenny Omega beat [Challenger] Shuji Kondo

6. Steel Cage Deathmatch: Yuji Nagata beat Masayuki Kono in a really good double-juice 20 minute cage match via knockout after a sick looking German suplex.

7. Satoshi Kojima beat Seiya Sanada in a very boring 15 minute match that nobody thought Sanada would win. Typical boring Kojima match ending by pinfall after a lariat.

8. World Tag Team Title Match: [Challengers] “GET WILD” Takao Omori & Manabu Soya beat [Champions] Dark Ozz & Dark Cuervo. The first title switch of the night as Omori got the pin after an axe bomber / lariat in about 17 minutes of a fun match. The Black Family beat up the ref and with the ref down did a 5-minute beating using chairs but there was no DQ before the comeback and title switch.

9. Triple Crown Championship Match: [Champion] Jun Akiyama beat [Challenger] Keiji Mutoh – an excellent 19 minutes of mostly dragon screws and exploders ending via pinfall after a suplex.

A good show overall, of the 9 matches, there was 1 great one and about 6 good ones with nothing really bad.
