As always with these trios matches with these guys, it was good. Ueno's and Endo's sections with lots of hate were the highlight of the match and Shunma/Mao teaming up on people was nice. These combinations really can't go wrong when matched up against each other.

Overall thoughts: I saw 4 of the 6 matches here and 3 of them delivered, so it was a good show. The main was probably the best thing on it, but I don't know if I'd call it must see.
