Cactus Jack & Leatherface vs. Hiroshi Ono & Shoji Nakamaki

[7.0] "There's plenty of cool things to recommend about this match: Cactus Jack's pre-match promo; his bumps alongside Nakamaki; and Leatherface's chainsaw and sparks. Also, the OOOOOOOOHHHHH from the crowd when the drawing pins are poured into the box really adds to the atmosphere (and it's good to be reminded that not all Japanese crowds are as lame as the vast majority of joshi puroresu ones). The fact that it has that great energy of 90s matches where it doesn't seem completely rehearsed helps the overall quality of it too."

[8.0] "Those classic deathmatches are always a treat and I'm binging Cactus Jack matches in Japan, so it was the perfect timing for me. Leatherface's entrance with the chainsaw and the sparks was so cool and he can also brawl. The match was great including some scary spots involving the thumbtacks."

[8.0] "Nothing better in wrestling than a hot Korakuen crowd for a deathmatch. Cactus Jack does a lot of the heavy lifting here with some wild spots, but everyone gets to show off. Some real weight behind a lot of the blows here, just nasty work all around."

[7.0] "Swietnie wyszed ten clothsline Cactusa poza ring. Wyglad Leatherface'a, acznie z jego wejsciem na ring, takze godny zapamietania. Poczatek pojedynku chaotyczny. Do tego kamerzysta mia ograniczone pole zasiegu co czasem widac. Zwaszcza z poczatku. Udane hardcore z kilkoma mocnymi spotami i swietnym finishem. ***1/4"

[8.0] "Cactus Jacks seems again to be thrilled to be in a deathmatch environment and he helps make this a much better match for Ono and Nakamaki. He does a pretty crazy Cactus clotheline through the wire and also flapjacks Nakamaki into the wire. Leatherface brings it enough to keep it violent and intense. Nakamaki again takes all the worst bumps but it's better structured and has a good finish with him surviving the thumbtack spots and then Ono being able to save him through resoursefulness, leading to their big win."
