***1/4
9. GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship: Taiji Ishimori (c) vs. Daisuke Harada
Ishimori is an amazing wrestler, but man, this guy consistently has the weirdest looks. This was a very good match, action-packed, easy pacing; Harada was fucking up Ishimori with those knees and Germans.

10. GHC Tag Team Championship: Atsushi Kotoge & Go Shiozaki (c) vs. 50 Funky Powers (Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm)
Going to go out on a limb and say that this was Quiet Storm's peak. Both he and Yone put on a fantastic underdog performance; their final comeback was spectacular. Shiozaki is such an underrated seller, I liked the way he crumbled after taking Yone's high kick. Another really great GHC tag team clash; stellar work from everyone involved.
****1/2
11. GHC Heavyweight Championship: Eddie Edwards (c) vs. Naomichi Marufuji
I have no idea why Eddie Edwards was chosen to be in this position or where they are going with this, but here he is. The crowd seems to like him. This didn't have any type of heat, but the action was fast-paced and engaging. It was worked in a junior heavy-style rather than the slower-paced main events NOAH is known for and that made for a refreshing watch.
