This was a basic match but the overall presentation was awesome as Jyushin Thunder Liger came out last to a huge reaction. Liger started the match against Naoki Sano who hit a tope as Otani followed with a running boot in the corner.

The crowd cheered as Liger made a comeback by hitting some shote. Takaiwa delivered a Death Valley Driver and a flying elbow onto Tiger Mask for a two count. Tiger Mask delivered a Tiger Driver onto Takaiwa as they were both down..

The crowd cheered as Fujinami tagged in as he delivered a series of dragon screws and then placed Takaiwa in a Dragon sleeper. Sasuke went a Swanton Bomb but missed. Sano gave Sasuke a Superplex.

The crowd cheered again as Liger tagged back in and hit a Super Frankenstiner on Taguchi for a near fall. Taguchi hit a pair of enzuigiri's and followed with a Bomb Ye but Liger kicked out. Taguchi finally hit the Dodon and pinned Liger as the crowd didn't like this.

After the match, Liger bowed and showed respect to his opponents. They played Liger's music as Sasuke and Tiger carried him on their shoulders. This was great as Liger was treated as a legend even in defeat.
