Talk about it here.

This was a lot of fun, with Yamazaki & Nagata making for a really good team of ratfuck subtle heels, using sneaky double teams and Yamazaki tormenting Hash as he tried to watch from the apron, constantly sneak-attacking him. Hash has some great stand-up exchanges--what else is new--and Nagata, whom I know primarily as the dry heat vacuum in WCW--throws some awesome suplexes. Yet again Otani's worst instincts get the better of him, as he tags himself in when Shinya finds himself in the corner, and acquits himself down 1-on-2 for a little bit before getting caught in a leg submission by Yamazaki.
