Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of it overall. I didn't like the spot where they each did canadian destroyers. I liked them getting fiery with each other though and showing some spirit. I also thought it went a little too long. I honestly was a little surprised Kaito beat Endo with the way he's been booked lately.

Overall thoughts: Harutoki/Marufuji or Kenta/Ulka were the best matches here. Kaito/Endo got close to being a match I liked but they blew it. Jack/Galeno was going well but then they went to a double countout. Ricky Knight had another indy style match and Daga/Soya was average. I would give it a slight 6 out of 10 but I would only say it was above average.
