Hideyoshi Kamatani v. Eric Dillinger in a First-Round Match
I think this is a First-Round Match. As seen in some previous posts, I'm not up on a lot of BJW, so if I'm wrong on stuff,f, forgive me. Eric Dillinger did a Leg Drop off of an entrance to the building. Eric Dillinger got thrown into the ropes with tubes on them. Eric Dillinger was lying in those tube shots on Kamatani. This was a strong open that had a lot of good technical wrestling as well.
Hideyoshi Kamatani advanced via pinfall
3.25/5
Shlak v. Beastman in a First-Round Match
This was the next First-Round Match. This was reminiscent of Bruiser Brody back in the day with people scattering everywhere. We had some brutal chair shots and Shlak used his nail. Beastman drove Shlak from the Apron to the floor onto a stack of chairs. These two were throwing tubes at each other. And we got a surprise of Beastman winning. This match was great, and it was what it should have been, and that's an ignorant hoss fight.
Beastman advanced via pinfall
3.5/5

Mad Man Pondo and Green Phantom v. So Daimonji and Yasufumi Nakanoue
We had a nontournament tag team match. Pondo staple gunned Nakanoue in the nuts. Pondo used his stop sign on Daimonji. This was okay. It was your run-of-the-mill tag match, but Pondo got to shine.
So Daimonji and Yasafumi Nakanoue won via pinfall

Akira v. Hideyoshi Kamatani in a Second-Round Match
Here we go with the 2nd round. Also, I find it distracting and cool that Kamatani had a piece of skin hanging off of him during the match. Well, there goes the loose skin; Akira carved that off with a blade, then carved Kamatani with said blade on the forehead. This was a great match with some great Death Match wrestling mixed with some good Hybrid Wrestling. If you're into Hybrid wrestling watch this.
Akira advanced via pinfall
3.75/5
Beastman v. Yasaku Ito in a Second-Round Match
These two started off throwing things at each other. There was a cool spot where Ito dove off of a stage and Beastman caught Ito and threw him over his head into the chairs in the audience. The finish where Beastman gave Ito a bonsai drop with the tubes across Ito's chest. This was a good brawl and a breakout tournament so far with Beastman getting another upset.
Beastman advanced via pinfall

Sagat, Jack Bennett and Kankuru Hoshino v. Masashi Takeda, Yuko Miyomoto and Isami Kodaka
We had a 6 person light tube Death Match. Takeda stabbed Jack Bennett with scissors. Jack Bennett's wrestling ability is great here. Kodaka did a sick backflip to Jack Bennett. For this being a filler match in the Tournament, so far this is one of the better matches on the show.

Daiju Wakamatsu v. Beastman in a Semi-Final Match
Here we go with the Semi-Finals. We had some stiff chair shots and more brawling from Beastman. Beastman through a whole pack of light tubes at Wakamatsu. This was a cool match and Beastman showed me something in this Tournament. I want Beastman doing Death Matches in the USA.

Violento Jack jammed a can into Akira's forehead. Violento Jack slammed Akira into a razor board. Violento Jack did a urinage onto light tubes.

Jun Kasai, Takashi Sasaki and Tomoya Hirota v. Abdullah Kobayashi, Masaya Takahashi and Ryuji Ito in a Florescent Light Tube Death Match
The beginning of this match cut out, but when they came back, everyone was bleeding. Takashi Sasaki 2as kicking light tubes into people Takahashi accidentally put hot sauce into Abdullah Kobayashi's wounds. Hirota skewered Kobayashi. Ryuji Ito made a great splash on Hirota with a bundle of tubes. From what I was able to watch (thanks, Triller), This was a solid 6 man with 6 legends.

Overall
This was a solid show. Most of the tournament matches delivered and the other matches weren't bad either. There was no bad, and this was a lot of killer, not a lot of filler.
