Thumbs In The Middle Pointing Up
Okada in the opener. What a tour this has been. Okada's dropkick was the only highlight in this one.
Kota Ibushi, Tomoaki Honma, SHO & Master Wato defeated SANADA, Tetsuya Naito, Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI (11:32)
**3/4
Thumbs Up
This was esentially a house show match, as El Phantasmo made reference to on commentary. Not a bad match, but nothing spectacular.
Loser banned from using the Mongolian chop match: Great-O-Khan defeated Hiroyoshi Tenzan (12:45)
***1/4
Thumbs Up
Tenzan worked really hard and was the better worker of the two in this match. O-Khan has some pieces but hasn't put it all together yet.
No DQ match: Will Ospreay defeated Satoshi Kojima (16:57)
***1/2
Thumbs Up
This was a very good match.

This was unreal. Just a tremendous main event and the match of 2021 so far.
