El Desperado, Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, YOH & YOSHI-HASHI vs. Hartley Jackson, Kosei Fujita, Robbie Eagles, Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr.

[8.0] "A pretty fun 10-Man Tag here as we get closer to The New Beginning. I don't really have much to say other than that. What I will say is that TMDK is definitely up there in terms of my favorite factions in NJPW. A lot of their lineup is really good, in my opinion."

[7.0] "Cool multi men tag match, to create more expectations to the New Beginning. Some very nice spots there. (***3/4)."

[7.0] "A solid classic Korakuen Hall faction multi-man that delivered strong energy and smooth action throughout, but it never hit any great peaks. Fun while it lasted without reaching standout territory."

[8.0] "we gathered 10 talented men and made it a very good match with different styles. goto Zack sabre gave a good taste of what was to come later their excellent match where goto became champion. jackson really impressed me here"

[8.0] "Another extremely fun tag, Ishii gave his best here and stole the show which is fun considering he wasn't supposed to be the focus of match. Other than that, Despy vs Fujita and Goto vs ZSJ were good mini-matches; good match no notes whatsoever. ****1/4"

[8.0] "Surpisingly good, fun match. Hartley looked good, Fujita and Despe kicked it off for their teams and did amazing and everyone else got their stuff in and did great too."

[8.0] "This rocked. For the semi main on a Road To these guys didn't have to go this hard but everyone was in full gear and tried to put on a show. Goto/ZSJ gave a good preview of their title match and the Ishii/Jackson stuff was good fun too. ****"

[7.0] "Action packed all the way with the match rarely coming up for air. Crowd were well into and Hartley Jackson continues to grow on me - him and Ishii are great against each other."

[9.0] "[****1/2] Kind of surprised to see this rated so low, absolutely loved this match. This is the reason why you should watch New Japan's Road To shows!"

[9.0] "Occasionally on a random New Japan show you will get one of the best multi-man matches of the year. Last year had that incredible TMDK vs Okada, Tanahashi and Ishii match which made Fujita look incredible and this year we got this banger. Hartley really shun as the MVP but nobody looked bad here. The chemistry between everyone was unreal and the matchups all across the board were interesting. Great stuff."

[7.0] "Hartley was the MVP here. I am really surprised by him. I hope he stays with NJPW. Ishii and he showed an awesome clash. Great match. ***3/4"

[7.0] "Great action and energy throughout a match which felt on part with one of the year-end Korakuen multi-mans. Goto and Zack continues to heat up, Fujita looked great, and even the bit players like Jackson were dialed in."

[7.0] "Very fun match. The interactions felt very good and the overall pace was great. Jackson and Oiwa brought some incredible powermoves to the match. The only problem I got is that only 50% of the Tag Champs are there. Also I'm not really a fan of 5 v 5, but this time the interactions didn't feel as rushed as they usually do"

[8.0] "Every year there are a few matches that come out of nowhere to rock a building and massively overdeliver. This did just that, as what looked like a a run of the mill 10 tag previewing a pair of title matches at the PPV had Korakuen bouncing. Everyone was on top of their game with incredible timing and action throughout with things coming together seamlessly. They worked a near PPV style closing stretch with a few great near falls and perfect saves before a big finish that gave some shine to the all time underdog. Go out of your way to watch this and bold it in your spreadsheet so when you look back a decade from now you remember to give this one another look. ****1/4"
