Dan Tamura vs. Shotaro Ashino

[8.0] "I thought this was very good. Ashino is so much better than his push right now. Tamura looked good as well and they managed to get a rather cold crowd into it by the end. ***3/4"

[7.0] "Really solid back and forth match. Ashino was in control for the majority of it with a surprise comeback for Dan."

[6.0] "This match was very solid. Tamura came out looking great thanks to enduring Ashino's punishment, but Ashino suffered a pretty disappointing loss because of it and continues to feel pretty aimless."

[6.0] "A match that may have been better in front of a hotter crowd as both worked hard with Dan persevering through a lot that Shotaro threw at him managing to pull off the win. 6.5"

[6.0] "Happy for Dan who has started to put it together this year. Ashino is not so much as spinning wheels as he is getting back to his car to discover his tyres have been stolen."

[6.0] "'Victory through guts' is an iconic catchphrase of another famous pro-wrestling promotion, but that's the best way to describe this win by Tamura - he took a beating, almost tapped out to Ankle Lock, but every time he found a way to survive, persevere and ultimate win with a Powerbomb. This match needed more crowd heat, though portions of the crowd that were reacting, were cheering Tamura on."
