Talk about it here.

The first half of this match would be nice to get. I think we got enough to call it a great match, but I don't want to rate it because plenty of other matches this year have started out bland and had a really strong finishing stretch. What we saw looked really good and I wish we had more of this feud.

All we're missing is 10 minutes of Kanemoto vs Kashin, which in truth was probably the weakest part of it.

Kashin is not one of my guys but he hits a nice armbar. Survival Series label threw off as I was expecting an elimination match.

Probably wont rank this either due to the clippage but what wed saw was really fun. I always like when Liger and Samurai team up as they compliment each other well. Kashin didn't annoy me as much here as he does later on.

Well, Ka Shin did annoy me: Liger has just destroyed Kanemoto with a shotei in the corner, a Liger bomb, and a super fisherman buster. So he tags in Ka Shin, who...stands over him for a few seconds and then throws some stomps. It's the worst transition I've seen in a NJ juniors match since the days of Tiger Mask and Dynamite Kid. Aside from that, this was pretty awesome and that's with Otani and Samurai sort of being bystanders, though Otani unleashes some great dropkicks down the stretch. Ka Shin pays for his grave mistake by being triple teamed into oblivion at the end, so at least we got some poetic justice out of this. A very good closing stretch that made you want to see more from 5 of these guys.
