This could have been so much better. It was good for the time they were give but nothing really got kicked into gear. It was a solid match but only a flash of what could have been.

Once this got going, it got really good. Tamura doing a kip up in the middle of a shootstyle match is tremendous. The exchanges in this were in a way fascinating to me. Simply because the detail is so important in these types of matches. I enjoyed the pop Sano got when he turned Tamura over for the Boston Crab. The finish was pretty great too. I was worried that I would be disappointed at the start but this came alive quick. Great match.

I loved the ring entrances. Every Tenryu match feels like a big deal. The teases into the barbed wire were great and adding really good suspense to the match. When they did crash into the cage it made sense and wasn't egregious. They do the powerbomb sequence at the end with Onita getting in a few comeback spots. Tenryu wins with a final triumphant powerbomb to win. This was a great suspenseful match with some good near falls.

Sandman's promo is pretty good. Tommy Cairo and Peaches are funny milling around Sandman's home. This angle is confusing though as I haven't a clue who the face or heel is in this situation. Solid segment overall.

The Japanese were confused here. I suppose Rude had a nice little last walk up the ramp after winning a big title. It's unfortunate that he couldn't get back in the ring like he was trying to do before he died. Important footage here.
