Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Tomohiro Ishii

Ishii gets tired of Nakamura's antics earlier and slaps him in the face, then hits a powerslam. Nakamura goes for Good Vibrations, but gets clubbed for it. The two go back and forth until Nakamura hits a draping DDT. He follows up with sick knees and kicks to Ishii, before placing him across the top rope and running a knee into his bread basket for two.

Ishii fights back and hits a delayed superplex on Nakamura for two. He follows up with a power bomb, but gets caught in a sleeper hold. Nakamura calls for the Boma Ye, but ends up getting drilled by an Ishii boot to the grill. A giant lariat from Ishii leaves both men down after Nakamura manages a second rope dropkick.

Nakamura locks on an armbar out of nowhere, but Ishii makes it to the ropes and nearly decapitates Nakamura with a lariat. Shinsuke fights Ishii off with a wheel kick, backstabber and a Boma Ye to the back of the head, but he can't capitalize. The two are trading huge shots, and Nakamura gets a Boma Ye for only a one count. He hits one off the second rope an Ishii kicks out at two. A third gets the job done.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura via pinfall (Boma Ye)

That was an awesome match, well worth going out of your way to see.
