Venue: Osaka Prefectural Gym, Osaka, Japan
  1. Apex defeated Yoshi Toyoda in 7:33 by pinfall with a DDT.  The gothic gaijin Apex simply overpowered Toyoda.  After obtaining the win, Apex refused to allow referee Kentero Honda to raise his arm, and instead opted for a b-line to the locker room.

  2. The team of El Maestro and Maestro de Condenacion defeated The Crush Guys in 7:12 by submission when Maestro de Condenacion forced Toshiro Watanabe to submit to the Octagon Special Manji Gatame.  The crowd was visibly pleased by the fast-paced action, which ended when Maestro de Condenacion executed the Octagon Special to secure the win.

  3. Gundam X defeated Mr. Wrestling IV in 4:19 by pinfall with the Reverse Buster.  The audience (children especially) gave a decent pop to the personified Anime-character Gundam X.  The young speedster was just too much for the hapless Mr. Wrestling IV, and IV was never able to get on track and got dropped on his head for his troubles.

  4. "Tiger Brat" Kojiro Kamiya defeated Benji Nishiki in 3:57 by submission with a Tiger Kneebar.  In an impressive debut, Kamiya made short work of Nishiki, and didn't waste any time applying the Tiger Kneebar for the victory.

  5. "Ice Cold" Hiroyoshi Tenzaki defeated Yakumo Matsumoto in 4:20 by submission with the STK (Step-Over Toehold/Kata Hajime).  The intimidating "Ice Cold" Hiroyoshi Tenzaki was obviously out to make a statement here, letting loose a barrage of painful blows.  Neo Japan's head of security Yazuo Tomizawa had to enter the ring at the match's conclusion to restrain the overzealous Tenzaki from issuing further injury to Matsumoto.  Tenzaki and Tomizawa then had a brief staredown, with Tenzaki grinning maniacally and exiting the ring.
