Result: Evil nails the STO on Juice for the win (12:34).

Rating: This one had rock-solid work throughout, and like so many 8-man tag matches it's always the most fun during the breakdown, which didn't take long to kick off.

The pacing was spot-on and it had a great mix of styles, especially once Elgin got into the mix and wreaked havoc the only way he can, effortlessly taking on two guys at a time, before being the recipient of a glorious DDT from Naito. Juice and Evil barely got anything to do in this one until the very end, where they saw things out.

While not hugely memorable, it was a lot of frantic fun for what it was.

7/10
