Masato Yoshino & T-Hawk vs. Naruki Doi & YAMATO

[9.0] "YAMATO and Doi looked amazing even by their standards, absolutely punishing the faces, continuing Doi's issues with Yoshino and putting poor T-Hawk through his paces even as he got some great offense in. This told a great story of Monster Express put on the back foot and constantly working from underneath but succumbing to the hive-mind coordination of their foes. Yoshino was pure FIP and made every kickout charge up the crowd until a great powder spot from Ryu and two Gallarias put over how the heels were not leaving anything to chance to make sure he stayed down. A MOTYC that suffers only from directly preceding one of the top five DG matches ever."

[9.0] "Outstanding tag match. Fluid tag work, great escalation with great nearfals at the end and great face & heel work by the respective teams. T-Hawk was the clear downside of the match but it says a lot that I thought he brought a ton to the match. He unloading with vicious chops on YAMATO, he had some great power moves, his hot tag for Yoshino was good. YAMATO and Doi were super in the match. Doi had some great character work whenever he was in there with Yoshino, being particular vindictive given their history. YAMATO was the workhorse of the match, having excellent interactions with Yoshino down the finishing stretch. Yoshino was excellent as he usually is as the face in peril, selling for VerserK and making comebacks. Great match. ****1/2"

[8.0] "Former Kobe opponents now both members of Monster Express, T-Hawk and Yoshino took it to the Verserk guys in a real match of the present. T-Hawk looked good, but it was Yoshino who was the center of most of the match."
