Black Tiger & Mitsuya Nagai vs. First Tiger Mask & Super Tiger

[4.0] "Unremarkable midcard novelty match between a couple aged Japanese professional wrestlers, very slow, very sloppy, depressing to watch, almost put my ass to sleep, yadda yadda, you get it alright?"

[6.0] "This starts off with.... you guessed it, a trash brawl! In all fairness, Nagai is a lot better at this kind of stuff than some of First Tiger's other opponents, and his goofy persona helps with getting through the walk and brawl stuff at the start. Black Tiger is a fun heel that cheats a ton with eye pokes and a delayed Shattered Dreams at one point just for the fun of it. Both together make a solid heel duo that work over Super Tiger for a good portion of this match. I love how the pair don't really try to hide their heel antics and just do them right in front of the ref lol. Eventually a suplex counter allows for the hot tag to First Tiger, who hits his usual kicks and signature spots, as well as a solid rolling senton splash. Eventually the pair take over with some leg work that goes nowhere (I do mean that as well, they work on it for a minute before dropping the whole thing) before First Tiger is able to get his second wind with some kicks. Super Tiger has a fairly alright exchange with Nagai involving some slap fights and Nagai countering a kick into a Capture Suplex. Black Tiger does more heel stuff but also pulls out a nice modified Tombstone and top rope back elbow for a near fall. There's a really dumb spot where Nagai and Super Tiger are fighting, Black Tiger gets involved, First Tiger is the legal man but doesn't bother to help the guy and lets him try to get out of the double team by himself, then hits a crossbody both him and Black Tiger, who's holding him in place. This somehow takes them both out and leads to a near fall. Eventually Black Tiger manages to counter a diving headbutt thanks to Nagai interfering, First Tiger takes a big back bump but recovers to hit a spinning back kick into Tiger Suplex for the win. Obviously this isn't particularly great (almost everyone involved is way past their prime and Super Tiger is incredibly mediocre) but as a match, it's perfectly fine for what it is. Super Tiger gets some spots to shine, Nagai and Black Tiger/Takaiwa are good as a heel duo that cheat consistently, keeping a fresh pace and not overusing the same heat spots, mixing stuff up. First Tiger is solid for what little he does beyond his kicks and some agile spots: very well done for someone his age in particular. All in all, a good little match that doesn't overextend itself."
