basically you just need to know that the expectations for the last four matches are off the charts
1. TV Anime Special Match: Tiger Mask W vs. Tiger the Dark (aka Kota Ibushi vs ACH)
Spot match to promote the tiger mask show. also Ibushi and Kenny Omega go way back so people are excited to see if anything ends up happening between them over this week. One of only two matches that have certain winners (Tiger Mask W, duh)
2. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title: The Young Bucks (c) vs. Rocky Romero & Baretta
the young bucks are the best tag team in the world, Romero-Baretta are a pretty solid team. This will be a fun little match with no real heat, it could be better but njpw doesn't focus on it's juniors or it's tag, so the junior tags never do anything important. They'll just go out and do their thing. The other thing is that this is a mirror of the main event, with the young bucks being aligned with Omega/Bullet Club and Rocky-Trent being aligned with Chaos/Okada
3. NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Title, Gauntlet Match: Satoshi Kojima, Ricochet & David Finlay (c) vs. SANDA, "King of Darkness" EVIL & BUSHI vs. Jado, YOSHI-HASHI & Will Ospreay vs. Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale & Hangman Page
Basically the main thing about this match will be what crazy thing do Ricochet and Ospreay do. beyond, this is the "get everyone onto the card match" & it might be the worst match on the card. It could have been better but the great man, Ishii, had to be moved to the heavy tag match. We'll also not quite sure how the Gauntlet actually works, but I think what ends up happening is the last two teams will be "Satoshi Kojima, Ricochet & David Finlay (c)" & "SANDA, "King of Darkness" EVIL & BUSHI", which mirrors the Intercontinental title match between Naito & Tanahashi
4. Special Singles Match: Cody vs. Juice Robinson
squash match for cody. it'll probably the worst match on the card. Juice will swear a lot and try to make Cody look as good as possible, which is "middle of the road but a nice guy"
5. ROH World Title: Kyle O`Reilly (c) vs. Adam Cole
ok so O'Reilly is actually out of contract with ROH right now, so the title could change hands here. It'll be a good match. KOR is over in Japan so if they just have Kyle kick **** out of Adam for most of the match, it'll get a good reaction
6. IWGP Tag Team Title: Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa (c) vs. Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma vs. Toru Yano & Tomohiro Ishii
Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa vs. Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma had a really good match a month ago, which people were excited to see repeated. but Toru Yano & Tomohiro Ishii are late additions to the match due to business reasons so now we're not quite sure how it'll go now. Ishii is one of the best wrestlers in the world. He had a 5 star match this year, had a 5 star match with one of the guys in this match as well (Honma). Toru Yano is a character who can't wrestle, and so bumps the ref, hits you in the nuts and then school boys you for the win, and then tries to sell the crowd DVDs. he's great trust me. and I think that will probably be the finish.
_______OK NOW IT GETS REALLY GOOD_______
7. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: KUSHIDA (c) vs. Hiromu Takahashi
Kushida is really really good at what he does. Performance wise, his first half of the year ranked up there with anyone in the world, before fading as the juniors went into the background. He comes dressed to the ring as Marty McFly. he's awesome. Hiromu Takahashi is (kind of) making his return. He's nuts. He'll do some crazy stuff. We think this will be really good.
8. NEVER Openweight Title: Katsuyori Shibata (c) vs. Hirooki Goto
Shibata is a mad man. Goto is really really solid at what he does. They had a 4 odd star match 3 years ago, we think it'll be repeated here. Maybe jumping up a notch if Shibata decides to go nuts, which is always a chance.
9. IWGP Intercontinental Title: Tetsuya Naito (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
10. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Kenny Omega
These are four of the probably five best wrestlers in the world. These will be great matches. People are just assuming at least one of them will be a 5 star match.
