Man, if you thought Japan was bad in 2002, then 2003 didn't get off to a promising start either. I watched this solely for the Hashimoto vs. Kojima interactions, which were good but not worth the price of admission. The rest of the match was the usual inter-promotional bullshit. 

I remember watching this last year and doing a whole ass review for it, nice flashback lol. Kojima and Hashimoto have the typical "big match" spots together and Ogasawara stinks up the joint massively. Kojima can usually do inter-promotion work quite well (see his BIG MOUTH Shibata and WMF Gannosuke matches for some fun examples of that) but this was a definite low bar in terms of quality despite some good heat and the crowd getting into the dirtier parts of this. Kashin's.....here, I guess? Usually I love the guy but he was so blatantly the fall guy here that I couldn't really judge anything else he did. Kinda just felt like the usual inter-pro crap as you stated
