I'd say this was a sad occasion to see someone like Quack so hyped up a couple of years back to now be doing matches in a z-tier promotion in what looked to be a British social club which had probably been last refurnished in the early 90's, but that would imply that he's a good guy that deserves that kind of pity lol. Anyway, the match is basically the 69 year old Kidd pulling off a good performance while Quack kinda dragged his feet along and did some really stupid mannerisms, all in round format! Round 1 has them do a few decent back and forth starting sequences, with Quack getting a bit overconfident before getting his legs worked over until the end; despite selling t…

This is, without a doubt or any hint of exaggeration, the worst match I've seen this year! Picture Roderick Strong vs. GUNTHER in a chop battle, with nobody bothering to sell, and that's what this looks like. It gets absurd to the point that Ishida does a running boot to the corner (like Sami Zayn's finisher) and T-Hawk just stares back at him, completely unphased. Then it turns into some sort of "tribute" the latter day Misawa/Kobashi matches with them throwing each other with suplexes and popping right back up. Just complete garbage!

The first several minutes see Punch getting thwacked and Sato and Kawamura demolishing him with ruthless strikes. YAMATO tags in after the other three do sicko stuff, grabs a side headlock and immediately hits his pose. YAMATO may as well have not even been in the match, as he spent the bulk of it on the floor. Tominaga, to his credit, was an excellent face in peril, and he carried the brunt of the match for his team. Punch was both sympathetic and matched Kawamura and Sato strike-for-strike, even busting out a wicked headbutt. YAMATO comes in long enough to assist Tominaga with a Brainbuster on Sato but once again disappears into the ether. Kawamura goes to th…

Oh boy. Gunther and Sheamus already had one of WWE's finest damn matches of all time at Clash at the Castle, and now you are adding another big meaty men to slap meat with them? The result is quite possibly the best three way match in the Fed's history by quite the margin. Gunther's entrance is very well-shot, and he just looks like the final boss. He has this aura to him that very few people worldwide have. All three guys are just willing to beat the absolute shit out of each other. It's just pure violence for nearly 20 minutes, nonstop. Some very good nearfalls in this playing to the fact that Gunther doesn't need to be pinned to lose this belt, but all this …
