Thoughts: It was average. I didn't really buy Kono's team had a shot since Kono is never on the show. They goofed around a bit early. I didn't like the bigger guys getting thrown around here or Ryo being allowed to use spray on people.

Ryo gets sprayed after by Omori and I think the owner of AJPW, since Ryo had done it to him earlier.

Thoughts: Honda and Ken were the only ones who brought anything here. It wasn't that great of a match. Ken and Honda tried but got no help and it just was't anything you'd really remember.

Honda and Ren talk on the mic after and Honda does a dance.

Davey and Ken talk in the back after. Davey says they lost the battle but not the war. Davey says they can still make first place and will do it soon. He says tonight was a slip up. He says Ren is the tallest in AJPW but he's the strongest and toughest. He says they will make them pay the next time they face them.

Overall thoughts: It was a shorter and smaller card and not one of AJPW's best efforts. There was nothing must see on this one. Rising's match was probably the best thing on here. I would not recommend it and would just give it a 5 out of 10.
