Thoughts: It was a disappointing end to a decent match Hopefully Trew is okay. It's not the end of the world for Ama and Jun but it was maybe the biggest match of Lacey's and Trew's career. The spot Trew got injured on looked brutal with Ama really getting some force. I liked what we got but sadly, we didn't get to see an ending.

Thoughts: It was a longer match. The lumberjacks cheated for Ozawa as expected and got into it with the face lumberjacks as expected. Lumberjack matches are never great because of all the shenanigans that goes on and this was no exception. I thought they did alright with this but I probably would have had Soya beat up Ozawa a little more. I popped for Soya doing Ozawa's face-licking spot and for jumping off the top onto the lumberjacks outside.. It was a borderline good main but you don't really need to see it.

The heels beat up Soya a bit more after and pose on him. They then talk on the mic.  Ozawa gets on the mic and Soya is crying outside. He says Soya doesn't taste good but Tadasuke is tasty. He says Soya is not NOAH born and doesn't know the teaching of the NOAH Dojo. Masa Kitamiya stops Ozawa and says the NOAH Dojo is tough. Masa challenges Ozawa and says he's coming to shut him up.

Ozawa says he doesn't need the GHC National Title and throws it. He says this is Masa's champ to take it and become champ. He says Masa will always be a mid-tier wrestler and tells him to go home. Oz says he is now at the helm and says he will say how things go at the NOAH dojo.

Overall thoughts: It was an average show. NOAH just doesn't have the roster right now. I liked the main best. The semi-main was on the right track but then ended due to a legit knockout. Masa/Marufuji wasn't that good and Fujita didn't really hold up his end of the tag. The opener was okay and we had some comedy from Masao Inoue and Black Mensore that was what it was. There wasn't anything you really needed to see here and I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall.
