World Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Kaz Hayashi vs. Minoru 37:04. These two understood how to wrestle a long match, delivering something that justifies the term epic rather than simply being called that as a cute synonym for overlong. So many wrestlers today would have just stalled through the first half and then blown through all their spots in the second half. The distinguishing characteristic of Hayashi vs. Tanaka was they put genuine effort into everything. The first half was slow and not particularly spectacular, but it was more entertaining than the usual junior fireworks because they wrestled with conviction. Hayashi attacked Minoru's left knee and Minoru attacked Hayashi's left arm, both making you believe they were serious about getting a submission victory. They didn't give you the idea that the match would change, it seemed it was going to be one of Minoru's mat themed match, which added to the intensity of the near finishes. They picked the action up subtly, but it was still decidedly slower paced and less spectacular than your typical junior machine gun action. However, it was far more dramatic because they did such a good job of selling and portraying the struggle. Ultimately, they did all their hot moves, but the far more important thing is they incorporated them well, making them meaningful, and that much more exciting. Both men were at the very top of their game, with Hayashi deserving extra credit for being able to restrain himself and excel in a match that was clearly more suited to Minoru's more credible style. ****1/2

World Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Kaz Hayashi vs. Shuji Kondo 30:14. Not quite as good as their 8/27/06 match, but a very unpredictable and still quite amazing encounter. The match was totally built around big spots, but not necessarily the spots you'd expect. They dug deep into their bag of tricks, using new, rarely used, and special moves to make the match memorable. Counters were a very important part of the match, as many of the biggest moves came out of the other man's setup. The counters were sometimes incredible and at least nifty, the best spot being Kondo turning Hayashi's nadare shiki Frankensteiner into a middle rope powerbomb, only to have Hayashi make a midair adjustment into a DDT! Another surprising spot saw Hayashi hit his signature somersault dive only to have Kondo catch him in a Canadian backbreaker and drop him chin first onto the guard rail. The match started slow, as Hayashi proved in the 2009 Champion Carnival that he could take the heavies, so he didn't have to simply bob and weave. This wasn't a good style for Kondo though, as he isn't a technical wrestler nor is he dynamic on his own, he needs the movement from his opponent. As the match picked up it reverted to Kondo's successful power vs. speed formula and they did more and more huge moves, but it was never rapid fire. They took the time to sell all the moves, and that lead to better reactions to their offense. Kondo eventually hit a top rope powerbomb and even a shooting star press (partially overshot), while Hayashi pulled out an ultra huracanrana. ****1/2
Satoshi Kojima & KAI & Hiroshi Yamato vs. Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Akihiko Ito 29:13. All the promotion was about Kobashi returning to his old stomping ground for a dream confrontation with ace Kojima, and they didn't disappoint, or at least they gave the fans everything they could expect given it's 2009. Kojima morphed into Kensuke, and chopped it out with Kobashi. It started out as though they were doing a singles match because neither of them really cared about the others, so there was no reason for them to shift their focus and they had no desire to tag. The key to the match was actually lowly young jobber Ito giving an effective performance. Kobashi can't bump and Kikuchi has been washed up since before most of the ICE RIBBON girls were even born, so it was crucial that Ito work well with KAI & Yamato. KAI was really good here. His confidence has risen as he's become more at home in the ring, and he's doing everything more gracefully and fluidly; he even seems to be quicker and jump higher since he's so much more comfortable with himself. Yamato is also a good athlete, and was spotted well. The big negative of the match was Kikuchi, whose wrestling would have been okay if not for the fact that he keeps making a farce out of the proceedings with his corny faces. Kojima suffers from that a bit too, mainly on his machine guy chop which it didn't take the 2 consecutive segments by each to see is far inferior to Kobashi because it's hard not to laugh at that orgasmic expression he keeps making. But Kojima does get reaction to all his playing to the crowd, and the crowd was very much into the match, not just Kojima vs. Kobashi, the interpromotional aspect certainly helping some of the less over guys maintain the heat. ***1/2
Triple Crown Heavyweight Title Match: Yoshihiro Takayama vs. Suwama 26:21. A good match when Suwama was on offense. He isn't the most consistent wrestler, but other than a sketchy belly to belly off the 2nd, everything he did today was very well done, and that says a lot given the opposition. Takayama dominated the first half with his lumbering, uncoordinated offense. He's always been graceless, but now that he's all injured and miles out of shape, he's just brutal in every regard. The match was stiff, but Takayama's strikes are either unorthodox (to put it kindly) or slow he wasn't even entertaining. Suwama busted Takayama open hardway near the finish with a headbutt. **1/2
