DAY ONE
ZENKI and Earth Warrior
vs.
Mushigahara and Shigeru Toyama
Love this as an opening match. It's nice to start the tour with the main known, so as to appropriately build toward it, and was a good way to build heat for the challenger without hurting the champ too much
Jacob Hammerstein, Eron “Lynx” Hunter, and Thunder Mask
vs.
Bam Markham, Chris Ravenna, and Genji Ikeda
Fun match! You see this kind of fast-paced match all the time on tours, particularly in modern NJPW, which saw a lot of heat be generated for our future light heavyweight match. And glad to see Hammerstein get the win, as he's a pretty big deal in this circle.
