* Ishii tried to tear off Tiger’s mask, leading the DQ, and it appears these two have a feud going.
* TAJIRI misted Yano before rolling him up for the win.
* The IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title match was said to be off the charts, with some going as far to label it the best match of 2010 and worth the PPV price alone. Definitely look out for this one soon! Devitt’s 2-crown reign comes to an end after he is pinned by his BOSJ final opponent, Ibushi, and the belts enter DDT custody!
* The G1 Tag League 2010 tandems were announced after the fifth match.
- Block A: Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma, Hirooki Goto & Tama Tonga, Manabu Nakanishi & Strong Man, Yuji Nagata & Wataru Inoue, Super Strong Machine & King Fale, Masato Tanaka & Tomohiro Ishii.
- Block B: Hiroshi Tanahashi & TAJIRI, Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard & Karl Anderson), Shinsuke Nakamura & Daniel Puder, Toru Yano & Takashi Iizuka, NO LIMIT (Yujiro Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito), El Terrible & El Texano Jr.
* The New Japan vs. NOAH tag match was another excellent battle with Shiozaki just falling short of his target of avenging his G1 loss to Nagata.
* Goto scored a big win over Nakamura in what was described as yet another great match. Goto’s credentials for a title match went up with this victory.
* Tanahashi defeated Naito in yes, you guessed it, another fantastic match between two of New Japan’s most gifted wrestlers. Naito struggled in a Texas Cloverleaf hold for a while before giving up. The impression from this match was that Naito is going to go right to the top sooner or later.
* Makabe’s first IWGP Heavyweight Title reign went wrong in his V3 defense! G1 Climax 2010 winner Satoshi Kojima began his second reign as champion after an epic war which saw him counter lariat Makabe for a very hard fought victory.
* Despite Nakamura’s loss to Goto, Kojima nominated him as his V1 defense, as Shinsuke beat Kojima during the G1 making him a worthy challenger.
* The show was said to have been one to remember with each of the last five matches worth going out of your way to see.
