Daiki Nagai, Katsuya Murashima, Boltin Oleg def Masatora Yasuda, Shoma Kato, Toru Yano — (7:16, Boston Crab)
Taiji Ishimori, Caveman Ugg, Bad Luck Fale def Hartley Jackson, Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls — (7:15, Tour of the Caves [the World Twitter incorrectly called it “Tour of Cows” and TBH I would pay for Ugg to show me all the bovine in Australia])
Backstage, Ishimori says he’ll be entering Junior Tag League with his partner, an “interesting guy.”
Fale and Ugg briefly scrap with Mikey and Shane ahead of their IWGP Tag title match in Ryogoku.
Yoshinobu Kanemaru, SHO def TAKA Michinoku, DOUKI — (8:32, Figure Four)
Post-match, SHO puts DOUKI then hits DOUKI with a Piledriver on a chair.
Hiromu Takahashi, Yota Tsuji def Jakob Austin Young, Jeff Cobb — (9:10, that weird figure four thing he’s started doing)
Shota Umino, Tomohiro Ishii, Hiroshi Tanahashi def Dick Togo, Yujiro Takahashi, EVIL — (8:46, Blaze Blade)
Kevin Knight, KUSHIDA, Tomoaki Honma, YOSHI-HASHI, Hirooki Goto def Drilla Moloney, Clark Connors, Gedo, Gabe Kidd, David Finlay — (11:12, Outta Time)
KUSHIDA appeared to have hurt his knee during the finishing sequence; he did not stand up until the winner’s announcement, but did walk to the back on his own power. Am I remembering wrong that one of the last times we saw these two in Japan as a tag team there was tension, something like Kevin being frustrated at Kushi for their loss?
Kosei Fujita, Ryohei Oiwa, Zack Sabre Jr. def BUSHI, Shingo Takagi, Tetsuya Naito
— (10:16, The Grip)Naito and Zack, Shingo and Oiwa exchange words ahead of their KOPW matches. Fujita steps to Taiji Ishimori, who is on Japanese commentary.
Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama (DDT), Yuji Nagata def Atsushi Kotoge (NOAH), Go Shiozaki (NOAH) — (19:44, Backdrop Hold)
