Rating: ¾*

In this night's pre-match promo, Tanga Loa, the Firing Squad's woefully ineffective enforcer, rapped about Bad Luck Fale's fondness for cunnilingus. Great.

It was another bad match from New Japan's Tongan contingent, concluding with their usual DQ loss as Tama Tonga was caught striking 'Big Mike' with a chair. What elevates it slightly above the horrors inflicted upon the audience during the previous two matches was Elgin's selling. He clutched that taped arm to his body as if it was going to fall off, but that was the bout's only redeeming feature.
