Francesco Akira & TJP vs. Ryusuke Taguchi & The DKC

[5.0] "These karate chops and punches are making Taguchi's matches feel faker than ever, and I say that as a fan of his. The punches spot in this wasn't quite as bad as the Kevin Knight spot previously, where Knight had to act like he was being shot by an uzi from both sides, but that spot still sucks."

[6.0] "Nice match to get the show out from the preliminary muck before this. The DKC and Taguchi are finding a really nice groove as the underdog babyfaces and Taguchi is doing his best to not lower the DKC's already middling reputation as undercard nothing. While they have been growing on me l, I will never not cringe at their karate chops/punch maneuvers. Catch 2/2 are still consistent as ever with being a great technician even while selling an neck injury. Akira wrestles so fast and brings an energy to a match like this where the result is hardly in question. ***"

[6.0] "On the paper this is a weird but interesting at the same time kind of match and it actually was, but it was positive despite not a MOTT contender. Catch it's always ready for it and DKC and Taguchi's palm strikes comedy it's a kind of fun. Thumb up. ***"

[6.0] "DKC still doesn't play well for me, he has problems setting up in matches when he isn't central and gets several action times wrong. Taguchi manages the match for his team almost alone. Catch 2/2 are good here but it was a match almost already decided."

[6.0] "Francesco Akira got the win after hitting the 2/2 on The DKC. This was a fun match although there did seem to be some issues with communication between the wrestlers at some stage of the match. I'm really enjoying the tag team of Ryusuke Taguchi and The DKC. They have a chemistry I wasn't really expecting."

[7.0] "A good tag match with plenty of solid in ring work and relatively well paced. Had the potential to be excellent but felt a little off in parts with some of the action looking slightly messy. Despite that this was a fun tag team match and it didn't even have too much Taguchi and his backside which was a bonus."
