Show is available at NJPWWorld.com

FIRST MATCH: Yota Tsuji vs. Yuya Uemura

Great opener. Tsuji & Uemura continue to have flawless chemistry, in the start of what I can only assume will be a decades-long rivalry.

Need To Watch Rating: (5.0)

SECOND MATCH: Toa Henare vs. Ren Narita

Henare is starting to feel like the kid that got held back. He looks good against the scrappy Narita, but is starting to feel like a big fish in a little pond in these undercard matches.

Need To Watch Rating: (3.5)

THIRD MATCH: Satoshi Kojima, Yuji Nagata & Shota Umino vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & El Desperado)

My arms still hurt after watching this, hours ago.

Need To Watch Rating: (5.0)

FOURTH MATCH: Togi Makabe, Toru Yano & Tomoaki Honma vs. Bullet Club (Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa & Taiji Ishimori)

Solid six-man tag match. Yano & Makabe continue to be a bloody thorn in the side of Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa.

Need To Watch Rating: (4.0)

FIFTH MATCH: Hirooki Goto, Juice Robinson, Mikey Nicholls & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Bullet Club (Jay White, Bad Luck Fale, Hikuleo & Chase Owens)

I could tell you about how this match is fun and simple and inoffensive, or I could tell you that Juice Robinson’s outfit is ridiculous and you need to see it, right now.

Need To Watch Rating: (6.9)

SIXTH MATCH: Kota Ibushi, Yoshi-Hashi & Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr., TAKA Michinoku & Taichi)

Suzuki-gun relishes in dismantling legends like Liger. Ibushi & Sabre have great chemistry, and the new & improved Yoshi-Hashi continues to kick ass and take names.

Need To Watch Rating: (6.0)

MAIN EVENT: CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, SHO, YOH, Tomohiro Ishii & Rocky Romero) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA, EVIL, Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi & BUSHI)

Solid preview of every feud featured on the upcoming tour. Definitely the best match of the night, as a main event should be, but inessential in the way that much of this card is.

Need To Watch Rating: (7.2)
