Kanazawa, Japan

Japanese commentary only on New Japan World.
(I will do my best to report any storyline updates heading into Wrestle Kingdom)
Match 1: David Finlay and Juice Robinson vs. Karl Fredericks and Hirooki Goto
Finlay pins Fredericks with a Sliced Bread Number 2.
Match 2: Colt Cabana and Toru Yano vs. Mikey Nicholls and Jeff Cobb
Cabana comes to the ring dressed like Yano which was funny. Cobb pins Yano with a Tour of the Islands powerslam.
Match 3: Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Terrible and Shingo Takagi
Terrible (aka El Terrible in CMLL) is a member of Los Ingobernales in Mexico. Kojima pins Terrible with a lariat.
Match 4: Manabu Nakanishi and Yuji Nagata vs. Yujiro Takahashi and KENTA
Takahashi pins Nakanishi after a DDT.
Match 5: Lance Archer and Minoru Suzuki vs. Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale
As with most Suzuki-gun matches, it begins on the floor as the fight spills into the audience. Suzuki terrorizes the Japanese commentators. Archer pins Owens with the EBD Claw.
Match 6: BUSHI and Tetsuya Naito vs. Gedo and Jay White
The finish occurred when BUSHI hits MX on Gedo. Switchblade throws Naito out of the ring, grabs BUSHI and blasts him with Bladerunner. He puts Gedo on BUSHI and Bullet Club gets the pinfall win.
Match 7: Toa Henare and Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tomoaki Honma and Togi Makabe
Tanahashi pins Honma after a top rope frog splash.
Match 8: YOSHI-HASHI and Tomohiro Ishii vs. Taichi and Zack Sabre Jr.
