All Rebellion (Alejandro, Harutoki & Kaito Kiyomiya) vs. Passionate RATEL'S (Manabu Soya & Saxon Huxley) & Yuki Iino vs. Team 2000X (Masa Kitamiya, Tadasuke & Takashi Sugiura)

Thoughts: It was a short waste of talent. They have a lot of people who could go here and they threw them all into this where no one got to to stand out that much. Iino and Soya's new look is absolutely awful. They said Iino is now joining NOAH. He'll have better opponents here but it's just one more reason not to watch DDT.

Thoughts: Reyes is your typical indy wrestler. Ryusei is a bit small and not in the best shape. I think Kai's new heel character is a bit over the top. I thought this was just average.

Thoughts: It wasn't that much of a hardcore match. They used chairs and a sign of some sort. I feel like they did an acceptable job without going into blood, but it wasn't quite as aggressive or violent as you'd want. It was alright but not much else. 

Shinjiro Ohtani, who is paralyzed, is brought out.

Thoughts: It went well early and was looking like the dream match it should have been. Then it kept going. Naito got tired, couldn't hit destino on multiple tries and it got sloppy. It was still a nice win for Ozawa and the two are natural opponents. Had Naito not even tried destino, it would have been a lot better. I still liked it but this had the potential to be great if Naito had been less sloppy.

Oz does Naito's eye pose after as Team 2000X poses over Naito. Oz talks on the mic after. He says Noah is a fradulent promotion. He says he will change Noah. He tells Naito to join him under his wing and says they will merge with LTJ.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. They were kicking out of crucifix bombs, top rope poisonrana and other head dropping moves. It was fine when they stuck with the flying but the head drops brought it down. The flying did stick out a bit more here though since we saw so few dives on this. 

Eita comes out and claps for Bane after. They end up agreeing to a title match. Bane thanks him.

Thoughts: Welcome to NOAH. 40 year old Shane Haste is apparently the answer, but I'm not sure what the question was. I have no idea why they did this, other screwing over younger talent being a NOAH tradmark and NOAH not liking talents that aren't over 40. The match was okay but not that memorable outside of the result.

They shake hands after.

Kenta asks if he wants a match with him. They talk about having a match 13 years ago and Shane says he wants to beat him. Kenta says he's happy for him and this is his time. 

Overall thoughts:  Ozawa/Naito had issues but was still my favorite match on here and the main was okay enough. We had a lot of Team 2000X interference clogging up the card as usual here and a lot of Noah's stars were stuck in undercards for some reason. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. The show was acceptable as a whole but not great.
