Taguchi pins Fujita with a Gedo Clutch.

DKC and Taguchi earn 2 points, with 4 points total.

Team TMDK has 2 points.

Really good match.  

YOH pins TJP after a Direct Driver.  

MUSASHI and YOH earn 2 points, with 4 points total.

Catch 22 have 2 points.

Catch 22 may be trending downward at this and moving out of the title picture.

6 - TAKA Michinoku and DOUKI vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru and SHO

TAKA gets SHO in the Just Face Lock submission.  SHO taps but no referee who took a bump.   TAKA looks for the referee.  SHO hits a low blow on TAKA and then blasts him in the face with his wrench.  SHO hits Shock Arrow.

SHO pins TAKA

Just 5 Guys remain at 0 points.

KUSHIDA avoided a Drilla Killa and rolled up Moloney for the pin.

Jetsetters earn 2 points, with 4 points total.

War Dogs remain at 4 points.

Chris Charlton said this was War Dogs first pinfall loss since Conners and Moloney began teaming up.    This pinfall win puts  theJetsetters in the number one contenders position.

8 - Master Wato and El Desperado vs. Titan and BUSHI

Another good match. 

Wato pins BUSHI with Recientemente.   

Wato and Desperado earn 2 points, with 4 points total.

Titan and BUSHI remain at 2 points.

Desperado walks back to the 

Desperado and Wato continue to act like a reluctant tag team.  This will be one of the main storylines in this tournament.  Master Wato and El Desperado are still seen as top guys in the Jr. Division.   While Hiromu Takahashi and Taiji Ishimori are busy with each other, I would expect Wato and Desperado to be back in the Jr. Title picture soon.
