Thoughts: The big storyline here was Ryo being unable to do double teams with his opponents and getting into fights because of it. They were successful with it but where it's going, I don't know. It wasn't a super serious match and there wasn't a ton of time here for everyone due to so many people being involved.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It didn't look that good on paper and it wasn't. It wasn't awful but it was just a very average match. And instead of focusing on Ken vs Yuko, which would have been the best combo here, they focused on Sato vs Ken. I'm really not a big fan of Sato and I can't say he really showed me much here.

Ken and Davey talk on the mic after. Davey says it's a privilege to be back in Osaka, which is his favorite Japanese city. He says he loves Zen Nippon. Ken talks more on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: It was an average show. The match I liked the most was a quasi-comedy match. There was nothing must see on this and I wouldn't recommend it. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.
