El Desperado, Oleg Boltin, Shota Umino, Togi Makabe & YOH vs. EVIL, Ren Narita, SHO, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & Yujiro Takahashi

[4.0] "[2.0*] This was definitely not a good match but it indeed had the advantage of being a more serious one. It was still very short and had the classics shenanigans, but had time for a serious action (not a good one tbh) and my only complaint is the low blow right in front of the referee. Shota needs a push."

[5.0] "Considering the freak show House of Torture did the night before this was a relief, just a normal tag match, with basic and standard dynamics. It's a House of Torture match so of course it had interferences, but nothing that harmed the match very much. Great to see Shota winning this one, he received a message from "Scapegoat" Jack Perry afterwards - {**1/2}"

[5.0] "An alright match. HOT multi-mans are ok as long as the babys get the win. Basically it was set up so Shota Umino could be in the ring to receive a message via the video screen."

[4.0] "A basic and boring match but it had some good parts. Umino and Kanemaru had some fun exchanges. I think Umino's new look is actually a lot better. Looks less Tanahashi-esque. This was your usual HoT lower card match just slightly less interesting. **"

[4.0] "This was a very skippable match but it could have been even worse considering HoT's standards. It just felt pretty basic and boring, there were no incredible highlights or anything to be remember. At least Umino getting the pin was kinda satisfying. **1/4"

[6.0] "House of Torture works so much better in these multi-man tags than in a singles setting. When the wrestlers doing the heel shenanigans are actually in the match, the shenanigans are much more palatable. The pace also can't drag in a 10-man like it inevitably tends to in their singles matches. More of this, less of what we got in the first New Beginning in Sapporo show."

[5.0] "Much better than most House Of Torturde matches. It had some good intensity from Desperado and Shota - as it should have considering the events of Night 1."

[5.0] "[3.0*] Cool match, much better than the normal multi-man matches involving the House of Torture, obviously there was interference and robberies but it disrupted the rhythm of the match much less, I liked the exchanges between the teams despite it being a simple match."

[5.0] "It was not as bad as othe HoT matches cause they For once Wrestled in the match. Umino got the pin so that's a good start going into New Japan Cup after the lost against EVIL. I love watching Boltin and Yoh getting the title let's see what's happens but not to much of Yoh's goofy stuff and Sho's shenanigans please get them Wrestling. And if they gave Sho a reign give Yoh a reign he was always my favorite when they where realy Good in Rappongi 3K."

[4.0] "Slightly better than the previous night's multiman, but that's not saying much. It's too bad in the 100+ year history of this art form no means for beginning programs have ever been devised apart from the thieving of belts."

[5.0] "I rate this one higher than any other HoT match this tour. Felt they tried something this time, not to much antics imo, however YOH contender for the belt ? This is embarassing. I'm still embarassed of Despy losing the title via ring-out but YOH being the next one in line is worse."

[6.0] "Honestly, I didn't expect this match to be anything other than mid but I actually found it to be a very fun, breezy wee multi-man match. Fast paced, everybody got some good points in. No complaints from me, fun opener to the card"
