5th MATCH: Ren Narita vs. Douki

Douki wrestles how he looks. That’s a compliment. Narita continues to shine as a Young Lion in peril.

Need To Watch Rating: (6.0)

6th MATCH: Rocky Romero vs. Robbie Eagles

An absolutely stellar bout. Eagles is an underutilized member of Bullet Club and gets the chance to shine bright in this match. Romero is in great shape, and as good in the ring as ever.

7th MATCH: Bandido vs. El Phantasmo

Flips galore. Definitely a fun bit of acrobatic pyrotechnics. Straight blast of serotonin.

Need To Watch Rating: (9.0)

8th MATCH: Will Ospreay vs. BUSHI

Ospreay and BUSHI are two of the pillars of NJPW’s Jr. Division now that KUSHIDA is gone, and they prove why in this whirlwind of a battle.

Need To Watch Rating: (8.5)

MAIN EVENT: Ryusuke Taguchi vs. YOH

Big Match Taguchi and mini-Stardust Genius YOH put on a thrilling main event. Definitely worth going out of your way to watch it. Are you watching it yet? Go watch it. Between SHO vs. Shingo, Romero vs. Eagles, and Taguchi vs. YOH, the boys of Roppongi 3K are running away with this tournament.
