Thoughts:
Kenta won as expected. They didn't have a lot of time and it wasn't anything too special. I'm glad no one died on that tower of doom spot because there were too many people in a very small space. Everyone got their segment in on this and not much else.

Thoughts:
Well this was unexpected with Wolf turning on his brother and winning. It was an indy style match as expected with some unnecessary kickouts, lots of bad kicks and flying. I didn't like this very much but they didn't go as far as I thought they would.

Thoughts: It wouldn't be a Noah show without Kaito losing. It was okay enough but not much else. The Good Brothers kind of had to win here since it was their return but it shouldn't have been at Kaito's expense.

Ken pele kicks him, Maru hook kicks him and Ken germans Maru. Bushi rolls up Maru and pins him. Maru comes out of the pin with a black face due to Bushi misting him on the pin.

Thoughts: It really wasn't that good. Naito didn't really botch here but he's not moving that well and didn't even really attempt a destino here. He's also definitely put on some weight. It was a slower bout with no real flow to it and not a ton of highlights. It's a shame because Naito could be a big help to Noah but this wasn't a great showing.

Thoughts
: It was the usual Hiromu big match with him spamming big moves that don't mean all that. Ama at least got the win in the end here. Had Hiromu just toned down his offense some, I think I would have been okay with this one. Hiromu dominated the first part of this and Ama made his comeback won.

YI running lariats him for 2. YI spinning release drops him from his shoulder. YI top rope frog splashes him and wins.

Thoughts:
It was like other Ozawa matches. He goos around with the heel stuff early then does his athletic offense later on. The match was okay but not much more. We had Team 2000X openly interfering yet Ozawa was not DQ'd for it. Ozawa's shtick works to some degreee but also does limit match quality some. 

Inamura says Happy New Year after and says he is happy to defend the GHC Title today. He says he wants Ozawa to fight cleanly next time. He nominates Kenoh as the next challenger. Ken comes out and Masa Kitamiya throws him into the post. Inamura asks if Ken is okay. Masa says he wants Inamura and says he won't let him pick Kenoh as his next challenger. Inamura accepts the challenge and says he will try to pull him away from the wrong path he has been walking. Inamura offers a handshake. Masa hits shots on him. Masa then runs when Inamura goes for a move. Inamura thanks everyone and says see you again.

Overall thoughts: It might have been a big show on paper but it didn't live up to it at all. There was nothing that special here at all. Hiromu/Amakusa was the match where I thought they really tried as hard as they could here and I can't say I loved it. The main was okay but Ozawa's style limits things. The tag title match with Naito wasn't that good. Kaito of course lost, this time to The Good Brothers. I didn't like Bane/Wolf as expected and the undercard was short. I would only give this a 5 out of 10 total. Noah tried but the wrestlers didn't really deliver. I thought this was average.
