Keiji Muto, Rob Terry & Taiyo Kea vs. Masayuki Kono, Rene Dupree & Samoa Joe

[5.0] "Strange but awesome assortment of talent. Mutoh is putting his career on the line for it, for some reason. This is one of Rob Terry's greatest perforamnces, as he genuinely looked like a BEAST! NOSAWA Rongai and Desperado are on the outside, which Samoa Joe gets wrapped up in. Going into it, the hook was Mutoh vs Joe, but if that's what you're looking for, you're not gonna find much here."

[5.0] "Pretty uneven deal, honestly. This hopes to achieve a few things, carefully spotlighting Terry on one side while getting Desperado over as heels on the other. The latter is handled by having Joe reject their tactics, which actively limits his involvement in the name of an ultimately unsatisfying departure. Otherwise, the action is about as you'd expect, not producing much of note in either direction. Fine undercard tag but almost certainly lesser than a more straightforward cut of the same match. **1/2"
