It started with Toru Yano apparently brimming with confidence after his KOPW 2020 win at Jingu Stadium. Yano had a lot of words for Tomohiro Ishii, and he even took off a turnbuckle pad while Ishii just stood there and watched with no expression on his face. Yano then took on Ishii face to face, but of course that didn&#8217;t work out so well for him so Yano quickly tagged out. There was a good amount of levity like that in the early parts of the match, then the action picked up considerably as the match went on. It was a great transition from funny to serious, and this was a great preview for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Title match coming up soon on New Japan Road.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Tomoaki Honma &amp; Yuji Nagata &amp; Kota Ibushi &amp; Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Douki &amp; Zack Sabre Jr.<\/strong> (IWGP Heavyweight Tag Champ) <strong>&amp; Taichi<\/strong> (IWGP Heavyweight Tag Champ) <strong>&amp; Minoru Suzuki<\/strong> (NEVER Openweight Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Marty Asami)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6002bca3c8','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6002bca3c8\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6002bca3c8\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kota Ibushi pins Douki after Kamigoye<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:31<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match. Now that it seems like Ibushi and Tanahashi are done chasing the tag titles, there were no clear matches to build towards in this match. Rivalries certainly exist between these teams (Taichi and Sabre versus Tanahashi and Bushi, Suzuki and Nagata), and those rivalries helped add some emotion when those guys faced each other, but for the most part everyone faced everyone evenly. That led to a nice, evenly fought match that had everyone looking good by the end. Yes, even Douki.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Intermission<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe ring is cleaned and sanitized during a brief intermission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Jado &amp; Yujiro Takahashi &amp; EVIL vs SANADA &amp; Shingo Takagi &amp; Tetsuya Naito<\/strong> (IWGP IC &amp; Heavyweight Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Marty Asami)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6002bca3fb','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6002bca3fb\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6002bca3fb\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: SANADA submits Jado with Skull End<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:03<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match. Bullet Club took an early lead by effectively taking Naito out of the match, but SANADA and Shingo worked together to disrupt Bullet Club&#8217;s plans for most of the rest of the match. With the teamwork and dominance from SANADA and Shingo tonight, I&#8217;d like to see that pair go after the heavyweight tag titles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Title League Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Yoshinobu Kanemaru &amp; El Desperado<\/strong> (0 pts)<strong> vs Master Wato<\/strong> w\/ Hiroyoshi Tenzan <strong>&amp; Ryusuke Taguchi<\/strong> (0 pts)<br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6002bca436','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6002bca436\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6002bca436\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Master Wato pins Yoshinobu Kanemaru after RPP<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 13:26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGreat match. Wato wanted to start the match, and even though Taguchi didn&#8217;t look too thrilled about that, Taguchi got on the apron and let Mater Wato fight first. Wato did well, but it wasn&#8217;t too long before Desperado and Kanemaru overwhelmed him with some good teamwork. Taguchi reset the match with a hot tag and a lot of hip-attack psychology, but Wato started to struggle again after a while. Wato finally started to shine when he and Taguchi were able to work together in the later stages of the match. This match had a nice build to it, and I enjoyed the final few minutes a whole lot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Title League Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>BUSHI &amp; Hiromu Takahashi<\/strong> (0 pts) <strong>vs Gedo &amp; Taiji Ishimori<\/strong> (IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champ) (0 pts)<br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6002bca47e','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6002bca47e\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6002bca47e\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: BUSHI pins Gedo after LAT (double-team lifting facebuster)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 20:54<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGreat match. I was a little skeptical of Bullet Club&#8217;s chances since Gedo often takes the fall in tag matches (unless Jado is in the match as well), but Gedo and Ishimori looked really good tonight. Bullet Club did a nice job of beating up Hiromu early in the match, though Hiromu might have been a bit too eager to fight Ishimori which left him open to double-team attacks. BUSHI was the calming force for LIJ throughout a lot of the match, and he held things together until Hiromu could get his own head together and start working as a team. From that point, LIJ looked great, though Bullet Club was still getting in a lot of good moves. The match was even pretty much until the final minute or so, and the excitement built up nicely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was fun. Now that Summer Struggle is over and we&#8217;re headed into the G1 Climax, this show felt fresh. I&#8217;d gotten used to seeing certain people almost always facing the same people throughout Summer Struggle, but this show mixed a lot of people up (though not all of them). That&#8217;s good, and it got me excited for the short New Japan Road tour and the Jr. Heavyweight Tag Title Tournament. It&#8217;s a shame the tournament is so small, but it&#8217;s understandable considering the limited roster due to the pandemic. The matches will still be fun regardless of how many teams are in the tag league though.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>BUSHI &amp;
