Kazuo Yamazaki & Yuji Nagata vs. Kazuyuki Fujita & Manabu Nakanishi

[6.0] "This was cut up to about eight minutes but it's a fairly solid eight minutes all in all. Nagata and co hone in on Nakanishi's legs with strikes and submissions to get him off his feet and into holds. Even when Nakanishi gets the tag to Fujita, they swerve the audience by having the duo at once roll the guy into his own leg holds. Fujita shows decent selling but also strong initiative by consistently fighting around holds and trying to throw his own hard strikes, as well as having Nakanishi do the same to knock around Nagata with very stiff slaps. Nagata responds with his own kicks and intensity, and for once his strikes look good. We get some really fast action from Fujita as he throws out a bunch of big moves but ultimately struggles due to his worked leg. Fujita tries and fails to stay in the game but interference allows Nagata to throw out a big backdrop pin for the win. Easy to judge as a decent enough mid-card tag with some nice moments, but like many NJPW matches it tends to repeat itself at times unnecessarily. This mostly keeps to some solid action and the crowd were all up for it."
