Great stiff match. Both Zack and Kidd laid it all out in the ring. The B Block is building some good drama with HENARE, Gabe Kidd and Drilla Moloney all at the top of the Block. It would be interesting to see what would have happened if Shota Umino was never injured.
After the match, Gabe Kidd cursed out New Japan, the G1 and the fans. Major heel heat. Kidd talks more crap about Katsuyori Shibata and calls him out and challenges him to take the IWGP Global title from him.
