Thoughts: It was a good tag. It went a little longer than it needed to and they lost some momentum in the middle, but it had a good beginning and ending. Matches like these really come off better than they are when the undercard is weaker like this was. It was a lot better than I expected it to be.

Thoughts: It was a strong match here. Everything they did minus the senton on the apron looked good. They did some good amateur wrestling and hold trading. They didn't do the "work the limb" storyline, so they avoided the issues that come with it. They had some cool spots here and were athletic. It was also just nicely paced and laid out. This is easily one of the best TJPW matches I've seen and one worth checking out.

Miu talks on the mic after. She says she's willing to take on anyone as champ to grow as a champ and grow the company. She then thanks all the fans.

Overall thoughts: The main and semi main were strong matches and really carried this card. The undercard wasn't bad, but it was a lot of rookie vs vet style matches, which are limited quality wise. I'd recommend this one and though tit was a good show from TJPW.
