Talk about it here.

Worked WarGames style with CIMA and Tokyo starting and one wrestler coming out every few minutes afterwards. You are also eliminated once you get thrown over the top rope which we see when Tokyo is the first person out. Tiger Mask and Sasuke the Great get eliminated next. I would like to know who was portraying Sasuke the Great here. This leaves Pantera in a 3 on 1 situation until Great Sasuke makes his way down. The rudos still have the advantage so they continue the beatdown and that only gets worst when Pentagon enters giving the rudos a 4 on 2 advantage. Pantera gets pinned and things are looking very bleak. Taka comes out to a superstar reaction but gets beat down too. This is quite the heel performance for the quasi Crazy Max unit. CIMA gets too cocky and gets thrown over the top rope followed quickly by Sumo Fuji in a fun sequence evening up the units to now being a 2 on 2 match. Match finishes with Taka vs Pentagon and it is a fun five minutes with all of the other competitors getting involved and doing dives and the finish resulting in Taka hitting the MIcinoku Driver for the win in just over 27 minutes. A fun match seeing a collection of the non NJPW junior talent in Japan in 2000. ***1/4 (6.4)
