Match Thoughts: I know that DQ rules are a bit lax in Japan, but I really think knocking someone off the top rope with a chair shouldn't be allowed. Anyway not a bad match but like the first show I don't think it was really main event worthy. The good guys dominated the match up until the ending, as the "control" segments by the heels didn't last very long at all until a new face was tagged in and they got their asses kicked. And even though Kono got the pin it didn't really do anything to elevate him as he had to blatantly cheat and he pinned someone much lower than him on the food chain. The first 95% was good in terms of being fan service, but the ending seemed off for a main event match. Score: 5.5
