El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Shuhei Taniguchi & Takashi Sugiura vs. Hideki Suzuki, Saxon Huxley & Timothy Thatcher

[5.0] "I don't know how much I'm into REAL as a thing, but El Hijo de Doctor Wagner Jr continues to look great during this National title run."

[5.0] "Not much that is really worth watching and memorable. It was a bit chaotic, and I can't point to chemistry I really enjoyed. Maybe only Wagner and Suzuki's ending."

[5.0] "Perhaps the only really worthy thing here was the interaction of Suzuki and Wagner, and fortunately it was the end of the match, which left the best impressions. Otherwise very mediocre (**3/4)."

[7.0] "Big men bumping meat with some heavy style choices, that's exactly what I wanted. I loved how this match managed to hype me up for both upcoming titles defences and still was an awesome showcase. ***3/4"

[6.0] "Huxley's attempt to do Brody is commendable, but I don't think he has nearly near the intensity needed to actually be anything interesting in that regard. Sugiura gets something out of him at least if that helps. Thatcher is jacked and looked solid here as he normally does, really enjoying what NOAH brings out of him. Tani also gets some decent work done with his "back to basics" reinvention; despite his age and not generally being a whole lot good even in his better days he shows good fire as a surprisingly strong powerhouse. Wagner and Suzuki also have a enjoyable back and forth, Wagner especially looking really energised with some big risky stuff alongside his usual fun bits. Seeing Suzuki of all people work wacky lucha pins is definitely something I'd like to see more out of him, needless to say, especially given he managed to sneak out a actual clean win over Wagner with one of them, namely a impressive Prawn hold w/ arch. Good B-show six-man tag that had everyone get some sort of a showcase in."
