El Phantasmo & Taiji Ishimori vs. Robbie Eagles & Will Ospreay

[7.0] "(Grade:C+/***3/4) Quite enjoyable, some nice spots and sequence throughout the entirety of this one. For as short-lived as Ospreay & Eagles united was they blended together and pulled off some nice spots like the stereo dives and funnily enough the tagging In & out on the wrist-lock. Also, Phantasmo & Taiji as BC Cutest Tag Team was a dynamic I wasn't expecting to enjoy but they match one another styles to a tee."

[8.0] "This match is what it looks like on paper, especially if you're familiar with the 4 men. They're all uniquely talented junior heavyweights, and they all get a chance to shine in this one. The finish is a little bit anti climactic, but this bout is a fun one through and through. 4.25 Stars."

[8.0] "This was an incredibly fun match with all 4 guys getting their shit in and coming up with a ton of crazy sequences and spots. Ishimori and ELP were very good heels and it's refreshing to see a pure heel tag team like them. They worked super well together with all of their creative double team offense and heel work. Ospreay might've been the best wrestler in the match. His movements in the ring looked amazing. He had some great individual exchanges with ELP and Ishimori. The finishing stretch had some convincing nearfalls and even bigger spots like ELP's crazy moonsault on Ospreay. My gripes would be that some spots were too cutesy (I'll land on my feet and you'll be shocked x2) but that's a given in a match like this, But damn, this is one of the best examples of a tag team spotfest. ****1/4"

[10.0] "Epic freaking encounter, the only pity is that the finish was too normal for this kind of match. The action was awesome and theyr chemistry just unbelievable. Some of the offence was great and the match never got boring. Perhaps one of the most underrated NJPW matches ever. ****3/4"

[9.0] "This was a great match that came out much better than I had initially expected. They played off their established history particularly that of Robbie Eagles and ELP. ELP was especially good imo. Great display of athleticism, some incredible spots and good in ring chemistry between the four wrestlers. ****1/2"

[4.0] "I can see I'm very much the odd man out here with a low rating and that's fine, this just really isn't my kind of match. A lot of flash but not much substance, it goes a long time but doesn't really say very much, and filled with bits that just look like weak filler comedy to me, like the lengthy back rake joke. Everyone involved is very athletic, it's just not my kind of match."

[8.0] "8. 6/10 : The junior heavyweights have been NJPW's saving grace this year. They keep putting these bangers on and I'll keep tuning in. An absolute blast and a masterpiece in fast-paced tag team wrestling. Loved it !"

[9.0] "Four of the best junior heavyweights in the world in a tag match. What else do you want from a wrestling match? The crowd was hot and these guys delivered as they always do. The Birds Of Prey are incredible. They're probably the third-best tag team in the world at this point and ELP is also amazing. This match was dope. It was as good as you would expect it to be and you'd probably expect it to be great. ELP Death Valley Driver onto Eagles was crazy as well. The highlight of the match for me."

[8.0] "This was pretty much exactly what you'd expect from these four in one ring. Lots of fast paced high flying moves with relatively little story."

[8.0] "Oh boy, this was heaps of fun. These 4 had a pretty good match at Royal Quest, but here they really went out of their way to give us a great performance. Ospreay and Eagles were incredible with their non-stop spots. Ospreay was the flashy enforcer for his team, while Eagles was the fiery underdog with great speedy acrobatics. Ishimori and ELP, being the heels, dedicated a lot of time to just being super arrogant and evil, which heightened the idea of Ospreay and Eagles' struggle, since it put over just what crafty, villainous people they were up against. They would also eventually end up showing off their own fantastic spots in order to match Ospreay and Eagles as the pace picked up. The tag-team exchanges and spots continued getting more and more creative and intense. The dual-submission spot was very cool, and Ishimori did a great job teasing that he was close to tapping out. Eagles continued showing heaps of passion, especially in his exchanges with ex-stablemate ELP, who was very amusing with how he constantly took such joy in antagonising Eagles and beating him down. ELP would show some fantastic individual acrobatic spots towards the end, reminding me just how truly laughable it is that some people genuinely think he's a "bad" wrestler. Not only is his in-ring work great, but his character work feels so unique too. The finishing stretch had further creative tag-team spots and great near falls, with ELP and Ishimori having to go overboard to finally subdue Ospreay long enough to put Eagles away. This was great -- just 4 great high-flyers working their socks off. ***3/4"

[10.0] "I 'll give you 9. 0 in this match. The two teams had a good chemical reaction. Unfortunately, the Birds Of Pray lost and ELP once again stole the chicken. The next event, KOPW, Ospreay must win once, and then wait for Hiromu? s return in a better state."
