Great! Kamaitachi rapidly became one of the guys to watch in CMLL. And granted I don't watch Lucha since a long time but Valiente is always someone I liked. Everything looked really good especially when Valiente was on offense, it looks vicious and Kamaitachi was willing to bump well for it. Good matwork to start the match, a bunch of big chops and a SICK suicide dive. All of that in less than 9 minutes. Watch it!

Do every Yoshie matches in this tournament will be as fun? He was in the best match of the first show and here he's in a good power vs speed/technique match. Good selling by Nakamura. Perfect for an opener.
***3/4
Yasuda just lay down and let Shibata pin him.
Way better than their match a few months back. I like the craddle Tanahashi couldn't do because it was late in the match and Tenzan was too big.
***1/4
That was glorious, You have the underdog Nishimura against Akiyama going MUGA for the first part of the match but let it go for being is dickish self. But is Nishimura that big of an underdog? Even winning a strike exchange. Akiyama maybe get too cocky and Nishimura make him pay destroying the legs of that NOAH guy. Easy MOTN. I highly recommend this.
****1/4
Surprisingly a really good match. They worked around their limitations. The legwork was well done.
***1/2
A bit disappointing. Sure, it's a good match but it's Takayama and Nagata in the Main Event of a great show, it should be better.
***1/2
THAT MATCH! That interpromotional heat! That violence!
Pentagon in indy is one of my favorites things in westling. He's over as hell and destroys random fuckers. What more can you ask? Flamita and Fenix just hate each other and it's awesome. The AAA trio is ruthless.
Cara Lucha seems to book great matches, it's too bad so little is available. Need more.
I love this match.
****3/4
Short and sweet. Not as good as their previous match but if the mask stuff means they will have a mascara match, these two in a longer match with drama, it could be truly great. Whatever they'll do I look forward to it anway.
***1/2
It was all fine but nothing especially great. Zeuxis is one more time the MVP of the match, a singles match against Goya Kong could be good. It's not planned but this match make me think about that.

Shibata was awesome attacking Nakamura non stop. Shinskay comeback was good too. Pretty impressive for 2 ROOKIES.
***3/4
Nagata kicking a fattie! But Yoshie is not going down to some fucking kicks and the crowd loves him. He was really good here. Loved this. MOTN

They didn't click, too much sloppyness here. Still an enjoyable match but nothng special.
**3/4
A 2003 Chono singles match going 25 minutes may not seems really appealing but if someone can pull it off it's Nishimura... and he did. Good legwork, the kneedrop is an awesome visual.
***1/2
Yasuda is bad. Takayama's offense make the match watchable but my god Yasuda is garbage and he's dangerous too.
**
NOAH Akiyama invades New Japan! Tenzan is good at hitting his signature spots and the crowd popped for everyone of them. Akiyama was really good here.
***3/4
A bit uninspired, a few strikes by Tenzan, a few nearfalls by Tanahashi, a nice finish and that's pretty much it. Still good.
**3/4
I really really liked this one. I loved the fact that a quick flurry by Takayama can end the match anytime. The crowd is great and wants Tenzan to finaly win the title. Takayama is just so good.
