Overall thoughts: The opener was nothing special and the second match wasn't any different. Naito's match was a waste. Fujita's match didn't get enough time. I didn't like Iino/Wolf. The juniors trios match was acceptable but went long. Shane/Chen was fine. The main went to a draw and was an okay bout with them selling and trying to tell the story of Kaito working the knee. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as most of this show wasn't that good and it was below average overall.
