The Quarter Finals have officially begun.
It was a wild ride in the latest string of matches that was kicked off with Shingo Takagi and Drilla Monoley. Shingo got the jump on Moloney by attacking him from behind and it turned into a brutal strike fest. Moloney got the advantage around the seven minute mark and hit Made In Japan got a strong nearfall. A few minutes later, Shingo returned the favor with a Pumping Bomber that almost resulted in the win.
Drilla tried to set up the Drilla Killa, but Shingo reversed it into the Last of the Dragon. Then for good measure, he hit another pumping bomber. At the last second, Moloney kicked out, but the damage made him too weak as he couldn’t counter a second Last of the Dragon, which got a three count.
Next up, Jeff Cobb vs. Shota Umino and the former was a suplex machine in this match. The combination of power and speed saw Cobb hit a variation of the F5 and beautiful moonsaults and suplexes. But Shota had his flurry of offense such as a stiff clothesline that got a strong nearfall around the ten minute mark. Umino was able to put Cobb away with a Snow Plow driver for the three count.
Former Suzuki-Gun teammates went to war for nearly 30 minutes. Since Zack Sabre Jr and Taichi knew each other so well, it was a back-and-forth chess game where neither man was on top for a good period of time. But one mistake saw Zack run into a superkick within the 25-minute mark. That was an extremely close nearfall, but the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion used his technical prowess to get into an O’Connor Roll that led to the three count.
And finally, David Finlay and Yuya Uemura had a tremendous bout that got the crowd at an all time high after Umino kicked out of a devastating powerbomb a little over the 13-minute mark. Finlay kept trying to nail the Overkill knees strike, but Yuya had an answer for that; however, he failed to counter a nasty oblivion neckbreaker combo. Finlay was able to hit the Overkill finisher for the three count.
