EVIL & SANADA vs. Hirooki Goto & Kazuchika Okada

[7.0] "This was a very good match, it did feel a little more like two singles matches then a true tag contest but considering the level of the talent involved it's no surprise this was really well done. 3.75 stars"

[6.0] "EVIL & SANADA (c) -vs- Kazuchika Okada & Hirooki Goto - (IWGP Tag Title) [** 3/4] I was looking forward to this, but was fearing the Korakuen curse. New Japan heavyweights rarely give it their all for Korakuen Hall shows, and that was sort of the case here. The effort was there, but they weren't presenting anything new, except perhaps SANADA being the one to hit the Rainmaker. They also made EVIL a stronger challenger for Goto when they face for the NEVER Openweight Title in 4 days. But it was perhaps SANADA who needed the real booster before he face Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Title."

[8.0] "Pretty great tag title match here. One of the best heavyweight tag title match in recent memory. Evil and Sanada looked great. OKada/goto had good chemistry and both teams worked well together. First half was pretty solid with very basic stuff then the last 5 minutes was really exciting which turned the match great. I liked how sanada used the rainmaker finish that was good build for their main event."

[8.0] "Good main event with a lot of back and forth action. Both teams looked great and it was a nice way to give fans a taste of what to expect from their title matches."
