Jushin Thunder Liger & El Samurai vs. Koji Kanemoto & Wataru Inoue
Masahiro Chono, Hiro Saito & Tatsutoshi Goto vs. Tadao Yasuda, Makai #1 & Ryota Chikuzen
Kazunari Murakami vs. Shinya Makabe
Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi vs. Yutaka Yoshie & Blue Wolf
Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Osamu Nishimura vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shinsuke Nakamura
NWF Heavyweight Title: Yoshihiro Takayama (c) vs. Minoru Suzuki


Is it just me or does anybody else think that Suzuki will win the NWF title. New Japan owes Pancrase a favor for "letting" Barnett win their title, and Suzuki is a decent shootfighter, which the NWF title is supposed to represent, IMO. the undercard is pretty decent, Liger & Kanemoto facing off against each other, and Tanahishi & Nakamura teaming up, the future vs. the present.

1. Ryusuke Taguchi beat Akiya Anzawa (debut) (5:29) with a crab hold.
2. Heat & Masahito Kakihara beat Tiger Mask & Masayuki Naruse (9:02) when Heat used the Minoru Special on Naruse.
3. Jushin Thunder Liger & El Samurai beat Koji Kanemoto & Wataru Inoue (15:27) when Samurai used a chickenwing armlock on Inoue.
4. Masahiro Chono, Hiro Saito & Tatsutoshi Goto beat Tadao Yasuda, Makai #1 & Ryota Chikuzen (10:22) when Chono used a Yakuza kick on Makai #1.
5. Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi beat Yutaka Yoshie & Toru Yano (16:59) when Nakanishi used an Argentine backbreaker on Yano.
6. Kazunari Murakami ¥1,000,000 Bounty Match: Kazunari Murakami beat Shinya Makabe (5:46) by TKO.
7. Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Osamu Nishimura beat Hiroshi Tanahashi & Blue Wolf (18:32) when Tenzan used the Anaconda Vice on Tanahashi.
8. NWF Heavyweight Title: Yoshihiro Takayama (c) beat Minoru Suzuki (6:43) with a knee kick (7th defense).

I was wrong on my NWF title prediction, but who are they going to give the NWF title to??? Makabe failed in his bounty attempt, leaving Murakami to run rampant again. The third generation prvoed itself superior again over the New Generation, Liger went over Kanemoto, and the Makai went down again, good show overall, IMO

Josh Barnett will be the man to unseat Takayama as NWF Champion.

This should set in motion Takayama losing both belts no? Since Takayama is starting the new Inoki Army.
