FIRST MATCH: Yota Tsuji, Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Yuji Nagata, Manabu Nakanishi & Yuya Uemura
Solid tag match, but nothing to write home about.
Need To Watch Rating: (1.0)
SECOND MATCH: Juice Robinson, Mikey Nicholls & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Chase Owens & HIKULEO)
The Robinson/Owens feud continues to pick up speed. Nicholls looks strong, if a little bland. Taguchi and Bullet Club are always delights.
Need To Watch Rating: (2.5)
THIRD MATCH: Togi Makabe, Toru Yano, Michael Elgin & Tomoaki Honma vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Taichi, Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr.)
Another solid, inessential tag match.
Need To Watch Rating: (1.9)
FOURTH MATCH: Kota Ibushi, Hirooki Goto & Ren Narita vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI & Shingo Takagi)
Ren Narita continues to move up the card. Takagi continues to wrestle like a heavyweight. Ibushi and Naito are never bad.
Need To Watch Rating: (3.0)
FIFTH MATCH: Colt Cabana & Toa Henare vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL & SANADA)
Cabana & Henare are a fun combo. EVIL & SANADA are probably the greatest tag team of this current era.
Need To Watch Rating: (4.0)
SIXTH MATCH: Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shota Umino vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr. & TAKA Michinoku)
Every piece of this match is good.
Need To Watch Rating: (5.0)
SEVENTH MATCH: New Japan Cup Quarter Final Match: Tomohiro Ishii vs. YOSHI-HASHI
Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI beat the snot out of each other. This is a brutal war that should not be taken lightly. YOSHI-HASHI will be in a very interesting position if he continues to show this kind of fire.
Need To Watch Rating: (9.0)
MAIN EVENT: New Japan Cup Quarter Final Match: Kazuchika Okada vs. Will Ospreay
While not exactly as good as their Anniversary show match last year, this has some thrilling moments. Ospreay walking in a champion, and not Okada, is a nicely turned table. The drama is thick and the finishing stretch is electric.
