Keita Yano & Munenori Sawa vs. Super Tiger & Yuki Ishikawa

[8.0] "Very very close to joining the pantheon of great Battlarts main event tags. It starts brutal and settles in nicely from there. Super Tiger is the weak link in terms of work here but is solid enough but the other three guys are fantastic. They maybe did not land the finish quite as well as hoped which just keeps it under the level of the all timers."
