Hirata gives Yukio his glasses for the Magnum Tokyo dance. Yukio puts them on and throws them. Hirata hits some forearms on him then Yukio stops him and pushes him over with one finger.

Hirata pleads out of a pumping knee and they talk some more. Hirata then gives hi ma gift box and it's glasses. Hirata chops him in the back of the neck and does the Magnum Tokyo dance to music. Yuki gets up a lot later, puts the bag over Hirata's head and PK's him for the win.

This was stupid, comedy crap.

The pin is broken up then BG lariats him for 2. BG then camel clutches Ishida and wins it.

There was no way the 6 of them were having a bad match and they did not have a bad match. BG and Hino lariat battling was entertaining and the match was what I had hoped it would be.

Honda talks on the mic for a while, eye pokes his own partner on accident then submits to Kanon's grounded cobra twist.

This was also comedy crap with no real explanation for a lot of stuff Honda was doing.

Gamma & HARASHIMA vs Makoto Oishi & Yuki Ueno

I wasn't that excited for this, but this suddenly looks good after 2 comedy matches. Oishi and HS (Harashima) do a stand off after a headscissors counter early. Gamma shoulders over Ueno then the two armdrag each other. Ueno kips up and Gamma tries to but slips and goes down. Gamma then tries again and does the kip up. Gamma offers to shake then kicks him.

Ueno gets the stick and Gamma tries to roll away but Ueno hits him when he is done. Ueno hits him in the leg with the stick then the body. Gamma tries to block the shot and gets more before going down. Ueno then does a sword pose. The ref finally gets in and sees him with the stick. It ends up between Ueno's legs and HS pulls the stick up to crotch him.

HS misses a spingboard move on Oishi and Oishi calf-crushers him. Oishi drops the hold for some reason then HS chest kicks him down. HS falcon arrows Oishi for 2. HS does an impressive spinning gorilla press gutbuster on Oishi then Ueno flying shining wizards him. HS high kicks his own partner then surprise roll-ups Oishi to win it.

I didn't like this one at all due to the ref and weapon shot. It just completely brought this one down.

Tetsuya Endo vs Yuya Koroku

They lock up early and Endo shoulders him over. Yuya hits an armdrag and a hiptoss. Yuya kneedrops his hand outside and bangs Endo's hand off the floor. Endo drives Yuya's back into the apron then back body drops him on the floor. Endo stomps on him and pulls both his arms back. Endo then slams him. Yuya is whipped into the buckles hard then Endo single leg crabs him.

Yuya hits forearms then running forearms him. Yuya armwringer drops his arm then waterwheel drops him for 2. Endo springboard forearms him then lariats him. Endo goes up top and takes forearms and Endo misses a pele kick. Yuya rolls him into an armlock.

Yuya misses a top rope moonsault then Endo backbreakers him. Yuya backslides him and they reverse each others moves. Endo superkicks him then hits a standing spanish fly. Endo then sitout spinning reverse fireman's carry slams him and wins it.

This was basically a long squash with Yuya getting some hope spots in before his gauranteed demise.

Harimao (Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura) vs The 37KAMIINA (MAO & Shunma Katsumata)

Higuchi shoulders Mao over then Mao dropkicks him. Higuchi then runs him over with a shoulder. Noami and Shun go at it and Naomi is wearing his hair down and looks like a fat girl. Shun trips and dropkicks Naomi early then Mao kicks Higuchi off the apron. They all fight outside and Higuchi atomic drops Mao. Shun is thrown into the post and takes a big bump into it. Shun claps a "wet warning" sign on Naomi's head then Mao finds a giant tire. Both teams roll the tire at the other then Shun gets in the tire and is rolled at their opponents.

Mao then rides on the rolling tire and ddt's Naomi. Shun walks on the giant tire as it moves and hurricanrana's Higuchi off of it. Shun then walks the giant tire into Naomi who is standing on the apron. Naomi lariats him while he is on it, Shun falls on it then is rolled onto by it. Shun is then put in the tire and rolled around. Mao helps do this for some reason then Shun is lifted and dropped while in the tire. Shun is double shouldered then elbow dropped.

Mao and Shun are held up and suplexed at almost the same time then Shun takes a double gorilla press slam. Higuchi lariats Mao. Shun superkicks Naomi and takes a side throw then Naomi powerbombs him to win.

There was too much screwing around early and I thought Mao/Shun got too much in for being underdogs here. It also went longer than needed at over 20 minutes.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like this at all. It was a comedy heavy show and I only really only liked one match.
