Jun Akiyama & Takeshi Rikio vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kensuke Sasaki

[7.0] "This isn't a bad match, but for the finale of NOAH's first annual Global Tag League I find it somewhat underwhelming. It doesn't suffer from overindulgence, thanks to the 30-minute time limit, but while I liked it enough, I thought Kensuke Office's dealings with Kobashi around this time soared a lot higher. My favorite parts were the hot opening and the fighting spirit Nakajima showerd towards the end. ***1/2"

[8.0] "Great tag team action, all of four partecipants played really well their role: Nakajima in the part of the young jr. weight underdog in search of the desperate hot tag from his "father" Kensuke, Akiyama the director of his duo while Rikio the muscle. They went back-and-forth from the beginning to the very end, decent climax and conclusion too. ***3/4"
