The DDT on the announcers' table was the most memorable moment of the match, with Naito seemingly suspended vertically on top. Even though age is catching up to Jericho, his theatrics, manipulation of the surroundings and exploitation of all the weapons makes him one of the most exciting wrestlers on the world stage.

The beginning of the match had Naito blindside and attack Y2J, taking a page out of his opponent's book. Codebreakers by both parties led to some close near-falls.

A No Disqualification match is a rarity in New Japan- unlike other promotions using extreme stipulations excessively, watering it down eventually- which leads to it being a fresh dose of violence in a card which usually contains pure strong style wrestling.
