Post match:  The Voodoo Murders hit the ring, a big melee ensues with half the locker room coming out, but Team 3-D settles things down and put YASSHI through a table (much to the crowd's delight).  They then give a kid a piece of the table as the show goes off the air.

Match Thoughts:  A fun match, but the most interesting thing to watch here is the strong contrast between Ishimori and Nakajima.  Nakajima is only 17 years old, and yet is already making an impact in All Japan.  Ishimori is 22 years old and has wrestled for various promotions in Japan over the last year.  They are both young and have a lot of ability, but from what I have seen of each I would have to say that the younger Nakajima is more developed.  While he didn't do anything overly flashy, he was good at what he did and didn't make any mistakes in the match.  Ishimori does some nice high spots, but he also botches moves in almost every match I have ever seen him in, including two here.  While it isn't enough to ruin a match, it does take it down a peg.  Mutoh and Sasaki were what you would expect, and both looked good without doing anything real notable.  Mutoh's dragon screw leg whips to Nakajima were cringe-worthy, but Nakajima gets just as much credit as Mutoh does for selling the move so well.  The arm work ended up not meaning anything, although Nakajima did hold his arm throughout the match, so at least it wasn't forgotten.  A solid main-event, and the post-match helped since Team 3-D was the most popular act of the night.  Score:  6.5
