Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Lance Archer

[4.0] "My god this match felt twice as long as it's actual length. Archer and Smith are your typical asshole heels, but Smith in particular is flipping the bird like it's the single only bit of character work he can offer. Heel control chunks were endless and dull, match felt like the spots were looping and then the ending just sort of happened."

[7.0] "Pretty good worked match where you have the legendary tag team of New Japan fighting the monster foreign heels of KES. KES started off by isolating Kojima which helped the come back. Matches like has and will always have a place in wrestling even as wrestling gets as a faster pace and more flasher. ***3/4"

[4.0] "This is a match Meltzer rates over 3 stars? I don't see it, this match in another promotion would not even be mentioned. It's not terrible but nothing to speak of really. I have a hard time buying the old Japanese guys over KES."

[7.0] "I found this to be rather enjoyable. Davey Boy, Jr. and Archer are, in my honest opinion... the best gaijin tag team in NJPW and this match up shows why. The very hard hitting, counters, BIG TIME slams and suplexes were outstanding. Lance Archer hits a MOONSAULT! ? If you only knew him from his WWE/ECW days this would be a major surprise to you. The match was worth a watch. *** 3/4 out of 5"
