CIMA and Kid start. CIMA hits a cheap shot with Ricochet’s help. Ricochet hits a back flip kick and CIMA hits a superkick for 2. CIMA lays out the Twin Gate title belts and slams Kid onto them. Doi exposes a turnbuckle and CIMA whips Kid into it. Kid baits CIMA into the same turnbuckle. He hits Ricochet with a head scissor takedown. Mochizuki hits Kanda with a dropkick. He hits Ricochet with the Sankakugeri. He hits Kanda with a big boot and a kick to the leg. He puts on the anklelock. CIMA rolls Gamma up for 2 to get Mochizuki to release his hold.

Ricochet hits the Sasuke Special. Gamma teases a quebrada but Kzy jumps on the apron to save his stable-mates. Gamma spits in CIMA’s face. He misses a dropkick and CIMA hits a double stomp. CIMA hits a senton for 2. A Flashback spot gets badly botched, but Gamma hits the move anyway. They clipped out almost half the match but left that in… why? Mochizuki hits a chest kick for 2. Kid hits CIMA with the Messiah. Mochizuki hits the Sankakugeri. Gamma hits the Blitzen dropping CIMA square on his neck! That gets 2. Gamma, chill out dude. Kanda hits Kid with the Jon Woo. He and Ricochet hit Kanda with a double flapjack. Gamma cleans house with lariats. Kid hits the 619 on Kanda. Mochizuki hits the Ikkakugeri. Kzy hits Gamma with the blue box. CIMA hits the Perfect Driver and a double stomp. Ricochet hits a 630 senton. Kanda hits his flippidy do dive (which apparently is called the Tornado de Acapulco) for the win at 9:00 shown of 16:22. This was like watching crack heads wrestle, as everything moved at an incredible pace but had nothing holding it together. Gamma in particular wrestled like he cared nothing for anyone’s safety.
Rating: **½
After the match the Blood Warriors steal the Twin Gate belts again. CIMA gets on the microphone and says he’ll be staying out of the Summer Adventure Tag League this year. Don Fujii gets in the ring and calls CIMA unprofessional for doing this. CIMA wonders why Fujii cares, since he’s not part of the big war in Dragon Gate and busy developing rookies. Naoki Tanisaki and Kzy attack Fujii. CIMA attacks one of the rookies, Yosuke Watanabe, on his way out. Watanabe actually fights back, but gets destroyed by Tanisaki and Kzy for his trouble.

Don Fujii & Stalker Ichikawa vs. Kzy {BW} & Naoki Tanisaki ends with Stalker Ichikawa finally hitting a successful German suplex on someone to get the win. That of course came after Fujii hit Kzy with a lariat.
YAMATO {J3} vs. Akira Tozawa {BW}
They trade elbows to start. Tozawa misses a spin kick and YAMATO punts him. He hits the brainbuster for 2. Tozawa takes a powder. Back in the ring YAMATO punts Tozawa’s leg. He dropkicks the leg.

YAMATO hits a leg whip. Tozawa hits a spin kick. He dumps YAMATO on his head with the German suplex. He hits another German suplex for 2. YAMATO blocks the arm-trap German so Tozawa kicks his head a bunch for 2. YAMATO hits a spear out of nowhere for the win at 7:19 shown of 14:20. That finish was kind of a copout, as they wanted to keep both guys strong going into the PPV, but in all honesty Tozawa needed the win a lot more than YAMATO did. The work here was great, and the match was criminally clipped/short to begin with.

After the match Cyber Kong nails YAMATO with an avalanche. Tozawa chokes YAMATO and hits him with the arm-trap German suplex. Kzy counts three for him, giving him some kind of symbolic victory. Kong walked off with YAMATO’s Triangle Gate belt. That gives the Blood Warriors all three of Junction Three’s belts and their Twin Gate belts.

He points at Mochizuki and hits it a third time, getting the knock out win at 9:54 shown of 18:02. That was a damned stiff match. Hulk now looks like a million bucks going into his match against Mochizuki, and Takagi got a way out of the loss due to interference. Lot’s of copout booking because of the PPV, sadly.

The show ends with Fujii talking to the rookies in the back. They all want to be his partner in the Summer Adventure Tag League. I’m not sure how Super Shenlong and Kotoka still qualify as rookies, but there they are. They all walk out together.
