Match #5
Daisuke Sekimoto & Go Shiozaki
vsHirooki Goto & Hiroshi Tanahashi
This is a rematch of sorts as yesterday Daisuke Sekimoto used the German Suplex on Goto's partner, Kotaro Suzuki, in a six man tag team match, while Tanahashi used the High Fly Flow to pin Shiozaki in main event singles action. As one would suspect with four fighters of this calibre, it was an even contest with neither team having the advantage. Near the end of the match, Sekimoto was a force to be reckoned with. After receiving a tag from Shiozaki, Sekimoto Power Bombed Tanahashi to the mat, taking him out of the contest, leaving Goto prone to a German Suplex for the victory.
