MAO vs Yuki Ueno vs Shunma Katsumata vs Toi Kojima
- The four present members of 37KAMIINA produced this show and each are on their second match of the night, albeit some more demanding than others. The gimmick is that the rules keep on changing. It starts as a four way match. But now it's just Shunma vs Mao. But now it's just Ueno vs Kojima. But now it's a tag match. But now it's the three of them vs Shunma. But now there's hardcore rules. But now it's an elimination match with 2-count pinfalls. Just a real fun time with 4 of the top talents in the company

Jay vs Hikuleo & Elp vs Tama were both far too long. Hikuleo is not a dude who should be going over 20, and honestly neither is Tama.

El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jr (c) vs Manabu Soya
Watch this here

I figured this would top out at HM level but nope, well exceeded expectations. Wagner Jr's kid is either super motivated holding a singles belt or has just improved a lot being in NOAH but yeah, this is a pretty great Heavyweight spotfest if that makes sense. Because if you stop & think about the match logic for any length it all kind of falls apart, but it's just boom boom boom, you don't get a chance to stop & think about it, you just enjoy it for what it is. There's some classic beefy boys action, there's some impressive agility from 2 guys as muscley as they are, Soya doing a flying headscissors of all things, some great submissions from EHdDWj, and some really gripping near falls. Well worth your time.

The opposite of a usual DDT show, the undercard was great (with one exception) but really wasn't feeling the top half of the card. The Extreme Title match definitely had it's moments let was let down by clunky sequences which didn't play to Akiyama's strengths as a performer

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
