Thoughts: Doi got bullied around as expected and the heels used their size against him. It was a heel vs heel match which made the logic a bit weird. Doi also kind of turned it into a comedy thing which maybe wasn't the best call. Jun matched up well with the bigger guys but it was just a hard one to figure out for me with the heels all acting like faces.

Thoughts: I didn't quite think it got the time it needed and I thought they jumped to the finishing stretch rather quickly. They at least had of a bit of a finishing stretch though. It was an okay effort but the time just wasn't there.
Suzuki talks on the mic after. The crowd starts chanting for Kengo and Ashino does a cheer to end this. Ashino then makes Kengo hold his arm up in victory and he does an octopus to him.
Overall thoughts: It was average. The main and semi main were the best things on here but both were far from being great. Jiro's match was terrible and the lowlight of this card. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 though it was a better show than some of the other nights.
