Hartley Jackson & Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI

[5.0] "It was an overall good match. Nothing spectacular to mention. It was to build up the Goto Vs ZSJ match for the title."

[6.0] "This was a good match, of course the interactions between ZSJ and Goto were nuts and Hartley Jackson of course ate the pin at the end. Overall it was a watchable part of the Road to the New Beginning; nothing more than that although it could have been better. **3/4"

[5.0] "This did its job of hyping people up for the Sabre vs Goto match coming up, I enjoyed their interactions and am looking forward to the match. Not much else happened here, Hartley Jackson is well past his prime at this point but didn't look to out of place when working with Goto and Yoshi-Hashi."

[5.0] "Again, another pretty straight forward match, nothing spectacular, but sewing seeds for hopefully much better road to bouts with Bishamon, ZSJ and the rest of TMDK. Do have a soft spot for Hartley though"

[5.0] "A predictable finish, with YOSHI-HASHI getting the pin on Hartley Jackson. Goto v ZSJ should be a cracker although this was only a slight effort to build for that in February."

[4.0] "This tag match that did nothing to engage me. Not impressed with the little I have seen of Hartley Jackson. Obviously the intention with this one was to try and heat up ZSJ and Goto - Im not sure it succeeded."

[6.0] "Pretty solid match. I'm just confused as to why you choose Jackson, instead of Oiwa. I would have prefered to have Jackson team with Eagles and Fujita, leaving Oiwa to team with Zack. After the interaction Oiwa and Yoshi-Hashi had, I thought this was the road NJPW would take, but I was wrong. Still a pretty good match, Goto & Hashi bringing Zack his first los in 2025 also helps to hype up the Title match"
