Hayabusa & Kodo Fuyuki vs. Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda

[7.0] "Just like most Tanaka and Hayabusa matches, the first half was some of the best work you'll ever see - smooth, stiff, and energetic, with great spots and incredibly fluid execution. But of course, it eventually devolved into finisher spamming, which always feels lazy to me, though at least they didn't endlessly repeat the same moves. Once again I'm left with mixed feelings, but I can't deny that I still enjoyed it."

[7.0] "The first match between these teams in this tournament. Hayabusa and Kodo's union was short-lived, but considering how much they were, most of the time, sworn enemies, their interactions were interesting to watch. The moments where the pace slowed down were forgivable due to the timing, especially considering this match was intended to build up the heat between the teams. Overall, each wrestler managed to contribute to the story of the match. Kodo failed to lift Tanaka twice, which hurt the impression a bit, but wasn't anything critical and hopefully no one got injured. The result of the match was slightly disappointing, but on the other hand it was a letdown for the next match, after which Hayabusa and Fuyuki will go their separate ways again. A solid match that slowly started to maintain interest the closer it got to the finals."

[7.0] "Solid tag team match with some of the best to ever do it. Felt a bit to slow for a main event but it picked back up a bit"
