Star rating: (****1/4) – This was a fantastic Six Man Tag match that was fought at a breathtaking place at times, although it did build quite nicely and tell a good story with PAC and Ki ending up alone in the ring at times. The match seemed to end before it could take it to that next level to be a MOTYC, but it was darn close.

Ki said his mission to make everyone to understand it’s not the size of the fighter, but the size of the fight he brings. Ki said he pours his heart and soul into this ring and left the ring. The crowd chanted for Ki as he walked down the aisle. Leonard then signed off to end the show.

Brief thoughts: (9.0) – When you think about the number of awe-inspiring matches on this card, it really was a special night for DGUSA. The PAC invitational, which turned into the Chuck Taylor Invitational was fantastic, especially with Generico’s heel turn. The Gargano-Yoshino Open the Freedom Gate title match and Six Man Tag matches were also excellent. There’s bound to be something between those three matches that will blow your mind.

The rest of the card was fine given how good the three aforementioned matches were and everything held down its spot well. I liked the pacing on this card, as it built nicely and really exploded with back-to-back fantastic matches. This show is well worth ordering.
