[5.0] "It's amazing how unrecognizable DG's home looks when the lights are on, the NJPW wrestlers enter from a different area, and there's just the single hard-cam of which to form an opinion. In the listings, why is C Owens not part of the B Club bracket? Naito honors this tournament enough to have his white & black suit on. Rush is too cool - slamming a ring guard against Henare's head and telling the agape crowd 'Tranquilo. ' The match went on too long but Henare's fine in that he's similarly built to Nakanishi but can adequately work 85% for the fossilized tree. H is pinned from Rush's double underhook piledriver, the Rush driver. I can't believe I fell for Leland Race actually being Harley's son. Breaker, though, looks like Blackjack Mulligan. All-American showdown. War Machine dominated early executing a round-the-horn knee to the face of the slumped-down NW/SE Breaker-Race team. High spots don't work out for the former ROH tag champs and the Mid-Westerners do their, ehhh, thing. Rowe impresses mid-way w/ a couple of pick-up suplex variations but cannot fallaway slam both opponents. The Kobe faithful enjoy watching Hanson cartwheel/tope suicida. W M hit their finisher on Race from the NE buckle. There's a blonde'd pig-tailed 'lady' w/ Yujiro tonight. Page is good antagonizing the crowd; she's sitting at the announcer's table so I can tell the 'lady' enjoyed watching Adam work. Page went over too after hitting his somersault cl followed by 'Hangman's Noose' on Kojima for the pin. Catch the final five of the Main. A full-speed, great Tana-Tonga sequence ending w/ a Sling Blade. A modified Hart Attack gets a 2 for sekigun. Once Tana's High-Fly doesn't take-off & Juice is by himself the end is inevitable but it's notable that it is extended beyond the norm w/ a surprise late Tana run-in but he takes a TTKO for his troubles. Satisfying main but B is more interesting than A."
