(3) Katsuhiko Nakajima, Taiji Ishimori & Atsushi Kotoge vs. Kenoh, Hajime Ohara & Mitsuhiro Kitamiya

(4) GHC Junior Tag Championship Matrch: [24th Champions] TAKA Michinoku & El Desperado vs. [Challengers] Genba Hirayanagi & Hitoshi Kumano
◆Winner: Desperado (15:07) with a Diving Body Press on Kumano.
~ 3rd successful title defense.
~ Lack of team experience between the challengers was apparent as a miscue between the two saw Kumano eating a ShoryuGenba, which this aided the champions in their defense.
(5) GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship Match: [29th Champion] Taichi vs. [Challenger] Daisuke Harada
◆Winner: Taichi (12:58) following a High Kick to the Taichi style Gedo Clutch.
~ 3rd successful title defense.
~ Taichi used ever trick in the book to claim the win, final moments saw TAKA & Desperado controlling the ref with Taichi being thrown the belt, in which he pelted Harada.
~ The entire NOAH junior roster came out to confront the Suzuki-gun champions.
~ Taichi belittled all of them as he continued to call Suzuki-gun juniors the strongest period.
(6) Mikey Nicholls vs. Shane Haste
◆Winner: Nicholls (11:56) with the Mikey Bomb.
~ A solid match between TMDK as they showcased a more than solid match against each other. Respect was shown between the two following the contest.
[Extra: Been rumblings that the two could be on their way out as they were noted at being at the WWE Developmental Center here just recently. “IF” that is indeed the case, today’s singles match being a so-called “semi-last” showcase/highlight for them. As talented as the two are I would think it would be almost a guarantee that they would be hard to overlook. - BushidoRX]

◆Winner: Archer (12:06) following the Killer Bomb on Storm.
