Wato forces Oiwa to submit to a Boston Crab.
Kosei Fujita, Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI vs. Dick Togo, Yujiro Takahashi, SHO and EVIL
CHAOS attacks at the bell, still angry after getting beaten down at the Budokan earlier in the week. Crazy match with all eight men fighting all over ringside. House of Torture isolated Fujita from his teammates and broke him down. Ishii tried to make the save and SHO fought him off. Togo jumped in the ring with his choke wire. The referee stopped him. SHO brought a chair in the ring and smashed Fujita in the head. The Japanese announcers were asking why were they doing this, because Fujita is just a young lion. Fujita was out cold. SHO applied the Snake Bite.
The referee saw Fujita was unconscious and called for the bell. House of Torture are the winners.
House of Torture continued to beat down CHAOS after the match.
Great O-Khan and Aaron Henare vs. Toru Yano and Satoshi Kojima
O-Khan pins Kojima after an Eliminator.
Henare's return to New Japan was good to see. He was getting a lot of tag work with the rest of United Empire earlier in the year. He looked sharp in this match. Perhaps he will be a part of World Tag League next month.
KENTA and Gedo vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi and Yuji Nagata
KENTA comes to the ring with the stolen IWGP U.S. Heavyweight belt.
Gedo taps out to Tanahashi's Texas Cloverhold.
After the match, KENTA grabs the U.S. belt and runs to the locker room.
Jado, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa vs. Togi Makabe, Tomoaki Honma and Kazuchika Okada
Okada comes to the ring with the old IWGP Heavyweight Title belt. At the G1 press conference this week, Okada said he did not want a briefcase with a contract. He wanted to carry the old IWGP Heavyweight belt instead, which he respectfully asked for from New Japan officials.
Tama pins Honma after hitting a Gun Stun.
Elimination Match: Zack Sabre, Jr., Yoshinobu Kanemaru, El Desperado and DOUKI vs. BUSHI, SANADA, Hiromu Takahashi and Shingo Takagi
Takagi eliminates DOUKI after a Pumping Bomber.

Desperado eliminates Hiromu over the top rope.

Takagi takes the mic and tells ZSJ that he got lucky in the G1. ZSJ says Takagi will join Naito and Ibushi in the hospital when they meet in Osaka. He states "Sabreism" will take over this company when he wins the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
