(1) Yamato beat BxB Hulk w/ cradled inverted piledriver. 2 Cold won after nailing Ken Doane with a sloppy 450 leg drop that landed right on doane's face leaving him with a bloody mouth. They shook hands after the match.
(2) 2 Cold Scorpio beat Ken Doane with a sloppy 450 leg drop that landed right on doane's face leaving him with a bloody mouth. They shook hands after the match.
(3) Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw & Fire Ant & Soldier Ant beat Hallowicked & Amasis & Gran Akuma & Icarus in an eight-man tag.Chikara faces over heels when Quacksaw hits jig and tonic on Icarus. Afterwards Quakenbush grabs the mic and talks about how Chikara and Dragon Gate are like family because of their mutual training by Jorge Rivera. A Jorge video package is shown. Quack the says he would love to see how any dragon gate wrestler does against any Chikara wrestler. Yamato comes out and says something in Japanese and kicks Quack in the family jewels. Jigsaw comes in for the save followed by Gran Akuma who turns on jigsaw. Cheech, Cloudy and the Ants come in for the save.
(4) Dragon kid beat Masato Yoshino with a springboard dragonconrana.
Justin says, "The crowd is on fire. It Was a little quiet during the slow 2 cold Scorpio match. Building is pretty packed. I'd say at least 850 people. Maybe close to 1000."
(5) The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) beat CIMA & Yokosuka with that 450 splash, moonsault combo they do (More Bang for Your Buck) onto Yokosuka. Amazing match. Crowd was quiet coming back from intermission, but by the end of the match the entire arena was on their feet screaming. One of the best tag matches I've ever seen.
(6) Naruki Doi beat Shingo when Doi hit his finisher. Tons of near falls in this one. There were several dueling "let's go shingo" "let's go Doi" chants but it seemed more of the crowd was pulling for Shingo.
