He promises not to leave Rocky hanging this time, and Rocky runs up, to JUMP HIGH-FIVE! The fans cheer more, with Yoh’s, uh, “message” being that RPG Vice is back and better than ever.

My Thoughts:

An awesome round two for the tournament, such great stuff from all the match-ups. Also, a nice touch having the Six Man Tag near the middle of the show to break up the Tag League action just a little bit. Speaking of, good win for Shota’s team this time to give him a bit of momentum. I believe they said Shota VS Sanada is happening at Power Struggle, essentially as Shota’s test to see if he’s ready for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. After all, Shota was among the contenders crowding ZSJ at the end of King of Pro-Wrestling a couple weeks ago. They are probably feeding Sanada to Shota since Takagi can’t be fed to someone while still NEVER Openweight Champion. Plus, I like the idea of saving Takagi for last, he’s that good to be challenging ZSJ as Champion VS Champion.

Anyway, the blocks are basically parallel right now. I figured The House of Torture was going to cheat their way to a win, and I also figured Mack & DKC would iron out their dysfunction to get a win. Tiger Mask is a legend, Capitan Suicida is from CMLL, they don’t need to be top-of-the-block contenders, but they will be giving everyone solid matches. Likewise, The VeloCities from Australia (I think coming in through NJPW Tamashii?) are mostly building up their reputation in NJPW and are doing a great job with these great matches.

Taguchi & Dia getting one over on LIJ was a great surprise here, and how impressive was that opening sequence of Taguchi having Hiromu run ropes? As a spot, it’s hilarious, but it also shows the real stamina these guys have. And the Jet Setters were of course rebounding from their opening round loss, so that was a great match with Bullet Club. And then both blocks came hard with their final matches of the night. TMDK VS War Dogs was tag title worthy in itself, and I suppose War Dogs being the A Block leaders at 2-0 is fitting as the former champions who only just lost the belts a week ago. RPG Revise coming out as the B Block leaders is an awesome surprise, and could create quite the Rock Paper Scissors scenario if Jet Setters beat RPG Revise.

My Score: 9/10
