Dick Togo, EVIL & Yujiro Takahashi vs. Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI

[7.0] "More of an Ishii spectacle than the other 6 man defenses but still very good. Really enjoyed his encounters with Dick Togo here who showed he can still go at his age. Shame about the typical BC moments of nonsense but otherwise yet another great defense of these titles. ***3/4"

[8.0] "Ahh , another great defense for the greatest 6 man tag champions ever . They made a team look good that consisted of Evil and Yujiro and if that does not baffle you , I do not know what will. I feel like that Chaos are so pure baby face personas that the heelish tropes and shennanigans of BC would eventually work . It starts off with the usual BC routine where they beat up the faces , throw them on the railings and the ring posts . Evil does the spot with the bell man and it is started to get on my nerves , he does the home run thing and luckily it has not lost its luster yet so he can keep it . The story here is the resiliency and heart shown here of the Chaos members especially Ishii who keeps on fighting despite the odds being stacked against them . He even kicks out of the pedigree on the steel chair . The heel vs face dynamic is well presented here in incredible fashion and Chaos not only have to face the opponents themselves but also suffer from the tricks that they have up their sleeves to derail or stop the momentum of the Chaos stable mates . Chaos's tag team tandem offense was innovative , creative and fun to watch . They had great comebacks and even though the referee bumps were two in total , it felt too forced and in organic . I like how they built drama in there , firstly with Ishii kicking out of almost everything and when Yoshi-Hashi accidentally super kicks the pit-bull and Togo rolls him up almost for a 3 count . Other spots such as Ishii's jumping mid rope brain buster was dope . I think a few minutes could be skimmed off and it would be more satisfying , regardless it was still a great match . Appreciate Togo's work here as well , he is just so underrated in my opinion . The match had a considerable amount of momentum and believable drama with no guarantee of who would win . It had the fire and energy . It was very good and enjoyable content with some brilliant sequences which were worth the time and praise. Can't wait for Chaos vs Tenzan/Nagata/Kojima . ****"

[7.0] "Welcome back PIETER! She's back and looks beautiful as always. The first half was pretty boring. Then all these crazy shenanigans started. Smashing Ishii's back with steel chair was unnecessary. Second half was better, but not the most exciting main event I've seen lately."

[4.0] "This match was okay but went too long. There was a lot that could have been cut out and it showed. Togo and Yujiro aren't cut out for the lengthy New Japan main events."

[5.0] "Was very too long for me. Goto and Ishii are two of my favorites wrestlers in njpw, and i love this team, but all members of the other team are super borings. It had good moments at the end. But not enough to make it a good."

[9.0] "Fantastic match. I liked it a lot. When Togo is not booked like bullshit you can see how talented he still is. Great stuf between EVIL & Ishii too, EVIL not selling Ishii's chops was insane! A bit disapointed by Goto's performance but it was still ok. Ishii's is MVP of the match for sure, and next match against hontai should be an other absolute banger."

[9.0] "Once again, team YOSHI, Ishii and Goto prove themselves to be one of the best things in New Japan at the moment. The fact that they can get a thirty minute classic 6-man defense out of current EVIL and Dick Togo show just how good they really are. Another near-perfect defense for the team, albeit with a slightly slow start. For once, the constant interferences were actually really fun, as they made me think team YOSHI's reign was over again and again, only for Ishii to kick out because he's such an insanely tough dude. Ishii's star shone especially bright this match, and even EVIL had a great moment of toughness, no selling Ishii's chops. YOSHI was also made to look like a star here. Really, this kind of amazing defense has been par for the course during team YOSHI's reign, but it still surprises me every time."

[7.0] "This was a fun match! Ishii was the clear MVP for me in this match and stood out the most with his impressive selling and offense. I was very invested and was rooting for CHOAOS to win and overcome to Bullet Club team."

[9.0] "This was an awesome match with lots of great action from everyone. once again Yoshi Hashi impressed and Ishii was really good throughout too. Even Dick Togo was great in this!"

[6.0] "A far too long match with great moments in the end but still too much for a good assimilation. Still a great reign."

[4.0] "I absolutely hated this match. First of all, this was way too long for what it was. Then, even if I agree with the fact that Ishii, Goto and Yoshi Hashi are a really good team, their opponents were sloppy as always. We had some ref bumps that bothered me a lot, Togo using weapons, it's always the same thing with the BC and it needs to stop because it's really bad. The finish was not built, it was like they needed to do a finish because the match started a long time ago, and Ishii's Brainbuster was randomly built. **1/4"

[8.0] "Goto, Ishii & YH with another banger match here and this time against one of the worst constellations out of the current BC. EVIL & Dick performed really well here & Yujiro was motivated (****)"
