4. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi vs. Dick Togo & Yoshihiro Takayama
This was lots of fun. It's a Dino match, so you know what you're getting out of it, but I thought everything was done well. Dick Togo's transformation into Danshoku Dick was incredible.
***1/2
5. AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship: Keisuke Ishii (c) vs. Yasu Urano
Great match, moved quickly and the action was exciting.
***3/4
6. KO-D Openweight Championship #1 Contender Tournament - Finals: Konosuke Takeshita vs. KUDO
This was one hell of a clash - Takeshita makes full use of his freakish strength and athleticism. Loved the opener where KUDO knocks Takeshita out with a spin kick to the head, and the tree of woe diving double knees onto the apron was nuts.
****
7. KO-D Openweight Championship: HARASHIMA (c) vs. Daisuke Sasaki
This was a solid match. Sasaki's being a bastard, HARASHIMA gives him a punishing beating. I didn't feel the work came together all that strongly, especially from Sasaki who was all over the place, but it was still very enjoyable despite the flaws. HARASHIMA's selling of the cross facelock was chilling stuff.
***1/2
***1/2
