Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano vs. Baretta & Chucky T: The boys from CHAOS enter into an important battle as both are in contention to top the block. The Best Friends hug, and then Yano hugs them Ishii fakes the hug and attacks, because he’s Tomohiro Fucking Ishii. Trent and Chucky T fight back, they hug and Yano hugs the ref and then gets attacked for his love. Yano does the rope break spot, gets cut off and tossed to the floor. Chucky T follows him out, rolls him back in and Trent attacks, while apologizing to his CHAOS brother. Chucky T tags back in and lays the boots to Yano. Double teams follow as Chucky T sends Ishii to the floor, and they continue the heat on Yano. Trent tags back in, takes out Ishii and works an abdominal stretch on Yano. Ishii rushes in and makes the save. Chucky T takes him out, again, and tosses Yano to the floor. Yano fights them off and looks for a tag, but Trent cuts him off. Yano fights back with anatomic drop and Ishii tags in. He runs wild on Trent, a powerslam on Chucky T follows and Trent now fights off an Ishii suplex, but Ishii gets it anyway. Trent fires back with a lariat, but Ishii lays in chops. Chucky T distracts him and Trent hits a superkick. They double team Ishii, leading to a near fall. Chucky T back in and they look for more double teams, Ishii fights them off, hitting a German on Chucky T. tag to Yano, he rips off the buckle pad and the ref takes it from him allowing Chucky T and Trent to cut him off, and Trent hits a running kick for 2. Trent and Chucky T call for the double chokeslam, but Yano escapes, tries the low blows but gets blocked. He pulls them down by the hair, and plays hot potato with Chucky T and the buckle pad. Ishii back in, cuts off strong zero but Chucky T takes him out and then misses a moonsault, Yano distracts the ref with the buckle pad; low blow and roll up by Yano and that’s that. Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano defeated Baretta & Chucky T @ 9:27 via pin [**] This was only ok, with too much Yano shenanigans and the match feeling as if it never really got going. Yano and Ishii pick up the big win in a rather disappointing effort.

Michael Elgin & Jeff Cobb vs. Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa: Tonga and Elgin to begin. Elgin works his power game early on, he and Tonga pose a bit and Elgin continues to control as Loa tags in. Tonga tags back in, pokes Elgin in the eye, but ends up eating a backdrop. Elgin and Cobb do the delayed vertical suplex hand off spot as Tonga yells “oh shit” repeatedly before escaping. Loa back in and talks shit to Cobb, they work a test of strength and then shoulder blocks. Loa finally takes Cobb down and celebrates, but Cobb hits a belly to belly to cut him off. Tonga cheap shots Cobb, allowing Loa to attack and hit a German. Tonga trips up Cobb on the apron as the Guerrillas take control with brawling on the floor. Back in and the Guerrillas work quick tags, isolating Cobb and maintaining control. Tonga lays mounted rights, tags in Loa and he hits a head butt, covering for 2. Morehead butts follow, and then the leg drop gets 2. Loa slows things down, grounding the action. The Guerrillas now work double teams, but Cobb battle back hitting the capture suplex on Tonga. Elgin finally gets the tag, he knocks Loa to the floor and runs wild on Tonga, hitting a powerslam. Elgin then does the deal, hitting the falcon arrow for 2. Elgin now lays in clotheslines, Tonga picks up the pace, does the misdirection running and hits an enziguri. Loa tags in and slams Elgin to the buckles, Tonga follows with the corner splash. They look for double teams, but Elgin suplexes them both and tags in Cobb. The Hosses run wild, Cobb starts tossing Loa around as Elgin and Toga spill to the floor. The Guerrillas cut off Cobb and work double teams, scoring a near fall. Elgin now cuts off Guerrilla warfare, and the battle spills to the floor. Back in and Elgin takes Loa up top and hits the superplex, Cobb hits the standing moonsault and Tonga makes the save. Elgin tosses Tonga to Cobb, who hits a suplex. They work over Loa with suplexes, Cobb hits the tour of the islands and that’s enough for the win. Michael Elgin & Jeff Cobb defeated Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa @ 14:35 via pin [***] This was a good match to close out today’s effort, it started a bit slow but built nicely down the stretch and was fun.
