**********************************
Toru Yano, YOH, & Master Wato defeated Tiger Mask, Ryusuke Taguchi, & Taisei Nakahara
Yano battled his way out of Nakahara and Taguchi’s early plot, dodging their every move. Wato bounced Taguchi’s rather sensitive region and poked him on the shoulder to slowly fall to the mat. Taguchi waddled out of Wato’s Funky Weapon and a charging YOH. Nkaahara stomped and chopped at Wato, who swung a comeback by way of a dropkick. With but an uppercut, Wato scored the win for his team.
Strong comic relief from Yano and Taguchi, as usual. The genital pain is one that Taguchi excels in humorously. Yano missing his moves was an underratedly funny part of this.
