Real date is November 5th, according to cagematch.

This was really really good and they showed great chemistry. At times, these kind of New Japan showdowns can feature a bit of stalling or dull matwork that goes nowhere, but this was not the case here. Hamada clearly showed Mask the right pace, their limb work meant something the also left plenty of space to the "fun stuff", especially towards the end. Mask didn't sell the leg at times, but Hamada never got a major heat segment on it, so that is not the end of the world. Not even the countout finish spoils this, as it makes sense in their dive psychology, it looked quite good and the fans were really into it.
***3/4
