Juice Robinson (4) vs. Toru Yano (4)

Juice Robinson, a hardcore-style fighter, was serious as the match started, but Yano never starts serious. He starts crafty. A handshake turned into a pinfall attempt via rollup, and when Yano took the turnbuckle cover off, Robinson managed to avoid it.

Outside the ring, Yano attempted a neat maneuver: he taped Robinson to the barricade. His work resulted in the 20-count starting and continuing all the way to 19. Yano had more tape, and Unno tossed it out. Robinson escaped Yano's pinfall attempt to try one of his own.

Yano grabbed the referee as a shield before hitting Robinson in the groin. That didn’t matter to Robinson, who picked up the pin after completing his Pulp Friction finisher.

Though Yano turned his handshake into an attack, Robinson shook his hand in earnest after this match.

Results: Juice Robinson (6) def. Toru Yano (4) via pinfall
