Francesco Akira, HENARE, Jeff Cobb & Konosuke Takeshita vs. Hirooki Goto, Katsuya Murashima, Shoma Kato & Tomoaki Honma

[5.0] "This was fine. All the United Empire guys (and Takeshita) had some time to shine and the young boys looked solid"

[5.0] "Match de niveau moyen mais suffisant pour être un opener. Le grand nombre d'athlète a permis une meilleure variété et c'est cool que Takeshita soit de la partie."

[6.0] "Not really a bad multi men tag here. The action was pretty decent and the huge numbers of athletes involved helped the match to have more variety and I liked the interactions between UE, it also makes sense that Takeshita is part of that stable actually. ***"

[4.0] "This match wasn't the best, it was just an average match to start the show. From such a stuffer with many stars."

[4.0] "This was a perfectly fine opener. Honma definitely took away as usual; I enjoyed the fire from Kato and Murashima, they are proving to be very solid Young Lions with a positive looking future. The UE + Takeshita team worked as you would expect with decent wrestling but not much effort put in, with the exception of Akira who continues to look great in these undercard bouts. Akira got the win in the end with the Fireball on Murashima. This was a serviceable bout but nothing worth watching or seeking out."
