HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura vs. The Bodyguard & Yuji Hino

[6.0] "Solid match, without anything which really catches the eye, I think I would've preferred this if Hino got more time instead of The Bodyguard who is really bland. Hino had some cool exchanges with Yoshimura, who was also pretty interesting here."

[6.0] "So it was Zero-1, I believe, in-which I finally learned that The Bodyger's twitter handle reads-as-such, and so perhaps his GP's banner wasn't misspelled. Him, Zeus, Sekimoto, Yoshimura, Hino, etc, goodness Osaka really out-proportions itself with regards to producing the 'big boys' of Puroresu. Both teams are rather makeshift but outside Bodyger's plodding nature, the action is mostly pretty good w/ a nice finish w/ NY rightfully going-over after being champ-in-peril t/out much of the proceedings. 3 1/10"

[7.0] "A very solid fight. Bodyguard's presence didn't really dragged the things down. He's a bit slow, for sure, but the man can delivered as he threw some big strikes time to time. Yoshimura was the main man here as he had a superb showcase. His sequences with Hino, especially the chopping sequences, were pretty cool. He showed all the fire he got as HARASHIMA was a great ally for him, showcasing everyone well. That one veteran who think he did just his job, but no, he was the darkhorse here."

[6.0] "Very disappointing match. Bodyguard is just too old and slow to be taken credibly in matches with these types of wrestlers nowadays."

[7.0] "Solid tag match with a great dynamic of the aging ace and young hoss fight two experienced monster hosses. Hino vs Yoshimura was some great stuff when they were in there together, and HARASHIMA's a great enough seller to carry Bodyguard heat sections. Hino's character work is effortless even if the heat of a face-off, he's the soul of this match as he is many other matches; Naomi is the heart however, you can see him come more into his own in this match with his comebacks. Started a bit slow but got very good. ***1/2"

[8.0] "Very hard hitting bout, Hino is such a monster and his chop battle with Yoshimura was fantastic. HARASHIMA is always pulling out great performances not matter the opponent"

[6.0] "Good title defense, with a good amount of spots and all. Good and more than satisfactory overall. 6.5."

[7.0] "A fun tag match that at times was dragged down by how slow bodyguard is at this point in his career I think Yoshimura looked the best in this match at times man handling his bigger opponents and Hino is still amazing at everything he does"

[6.0] "The Bodyguard is very bad in the ring, HARASHIMA, Yoshimura and Hino made a good job to make Bodyguard look decent in this"

[7.0] "The only interesting parts of the match to me were the Hino and Yoshimura exchanges. They were awesome which saved the match because every time Bodyguard was in there it was really boring and uninteresting. Harashima was fine although I've seen better performances from him."

[6.0] "Bad opening exchanges between Hino/Naomi and BG/HARA. Repeated some spots from their 5-vs-5 from a few weeks ago. Best bit was Yuji and Naomi's chop exchange in honour of Kobashi at ringside. Seen enough Bodyguard to last a lifetime. I know he's older but his offense is lackluster."
