LeapFrog and hip toss before a body slam picked up a two count at the Bell Bolton looked impressive for the time he had but it’s super early days New Japan ramboa the final four here while competing at New Year Dash tomorrow for the new kopw title belt Sho started at number one with Kevin Kelly noting that chase Owens was back in the States number two is okolio who tries to slam

Sato to the outside but then hikolio eliminates himself 34 seconds and he stepped over the top rope to chase Sho but that’s not counted as number threes revealed as evil cue the double teaming evil avoids a toke slam as he and hikolio trade finishers a full nelson slam drops evil as tomahiro ishii joined The Fray aiming right for her colio and boy that height difference they opted to double team Sho instead but a swerve seizy she and Sho suplexicolio as the ticker resumed giving us great okon as our next entrant ocon’s taking his time to

parade his ref Pro title belt so the ticker starts again with ducky wandering out ducky goes after okon but the pear powder to the outside as evil tried to eliminate is she dick Togo saves evil and we get another entrant in the form of Rocky Romero Rocky tries to pull evil off the apron but instead sidesteps as sh0 knocked evil off the apron at 805. forever clotheslines from Rocky follow just for show as Kenta headed out power walking like Santino Marella used to Kenta went right for ishi’s eyes as we get yushinabukane Maru joining the

match as a former Suzuki gun guy he’s kept the whiskey though kanimaru guns for Kenta but little else happens as Aaron hennar entered the field henar and ishi trade shoulder tackles and elbows like they were going out of style as that old rivalry flared up leading to a blue thunder bomb that would have won but okon broke up the PIN for reasons riyasuki taguchi joins next as ishi got lifted over the top rope by hennar then booted to the floor at 1424 by hennar and O Khan out next was Jeff Cobb as the United Empire’s

ranks continued to join the match ducky saves Kane Maru from a chokeslam but the pair gets suplexed instead before hakolio checked out Dickey at 1627. Connie Mars out at 16 33 before Shane haste entered the match there’s Young Lions at ringside so I’m not expecting the entire crew to be in this match maybe next year Oscar
