Commentary by: Chris Charlton, Walker Stewart, Rocky Romero, Yohei Onishi, Hiroki Mikami, Shunpei Terakawa, Milano Collection AT & Hiroshi Tanahashi
Overall Show Score: 5/10
Pros: Matt Ribble making a statement appearing himself in a video package challenging Hiroshi Tanahashi. They pain sees for future pains for upcoming events coming up Laster this year. It stills deliver a lot of hard-hitting action. Its great seeing the two tag matches getting new upcoming wrestles opportunities to shine and the event had it shares of hilarious moments.
Cons: That 4-Way King of Pro-Wrestling Title Match was quite Under-Wheeling. Too much of fast pact action and my worst match on this event was a 10-man tag team match between team Los Ingobernables de Japon vs. team Just 5 Guys.
