Result: Beretta kills Tama Tonga with the Dude Buster to win the straps for Chaos (21:44).

Rating: To anyone used to WWE's multi-man matches, the layout for this one probably seemed pretty strange, but it nevertheless achieved an enjoyable mix of Battle of the Bulls mayhem and the technical ferocity you expect from, say, Zack Sabre Jr (though he should've had much more to do overal).

While sadly not every wrestler got their own moment to shine, it was fun and varied for the most part, with the most memorable moments being Toru Yano's sneaky roll-up and Ishii suplexing Fale. Not a classic, but good fun. 7/10
