It wasn't anything special. I didn't think it flowed that well and they had issues doing some of their spots clean.
Overall thoughts: I wasn't a fan of this show. It was your usual TJPW offerings with a lot of comedy and average matches at best. If you were looking for a big debut from Chika Nanase, she got very little in before getting beaten.
