#6. Taiji Ishimori vs Dragon Lee vs Bandido- (IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship)

If you're planning on watching the best 8-minute match of all time, then I suggest you check out this highly awaited Triple Threat Match between three of the best Jr. Heavyweights in the world.

All three men started off the match in terrific fashion and the crowd had the chance of witnessing some absolutely crazy high-flying action. Bandido was greeted to some loud chants by the crowd, as Lee pulled off a move out of Tetsuya Naito's book by hitting the Combinacion Cabron.

Another series of outstanding moves quickly followed up, as Ishimori used a super hurricanrana on Lee, as the CMLL star stood was about to do a double stomp to Bandido who was hanging in a Tree of Woe. Bandido then pulled off yet another jaw-dropping move, as he did a double fallaway moonsault slam to both Ishimori and Lee.

However, just moments later Lee used a suplex into a Liger bomb on Bandido and shockingly got the win to capture the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship in a very shocking manner.

The match surely did end very quickly but was a great outing nonetheless.

Result: Dragon Lee defeated Bandido and Taiji Ishimori to win the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship


#7. Guerillas of Destiny vs The Briscoe Brothers vs Evil & Sanada vs Villian Enterprises- (IWGP and ROH World Tag Team Championship match)

All teams came out to amazing entrances, especially PCO, who was accompanied to the ring by Destro, who brought PCO back to life. The bell rang and all four teams immediately went at it and the match broke out into an absolute wild brawl. PCO, as expected, did a wild tope con giro through the ropes to the floor.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Sanada put Loa into the Paradise Lock and then dropkicked him, as 'The Cold Skull' got a solid reaction from the crowd. Evil and Sanda quickly started to take control of the match, as they attempted a Magic Killer. However, Villain Enterprises broke things up, only for PCO to hit the somersault senton onto the apron onto Mark Briscoe, as King followed up with the Gonozo Bomb as PCO hit a moonsault for a close two-count.

Absolute crazy stuff thus far but that wasn't just it, as the next big spot of the match saw GoD powerbomb PCO from the ring to the floor. GoD eventually super powerbombed Brody King in the middle of the ring for the three-count and the win.

Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa win the ROH World Tag Team Championships and are crowned double champions.

After the match, Enzo and Cass crashed and got into a brawl at ringside, only to be pinned down by Bully Ray and The Briscoes.

Result: Guerillas of Destiny defeated The Briscoe Brothers, Evil & Sanada, and Villian Enterprises


#8. Zack Sabre Jr. vs Hiroshi Tanahashi- (British Heavyweight Championship)

As expected, 'The Ace' Hiroshi Tanahashi came out to a solid pop and so did Zack Sabre Jr., who was accompanied by his hypeman Taka Michinoku.

The match started out in a bit of a slow pace, as ZSJ targeted the limbs of Tanahashi. 'The Ace', however, got back into the match and the pace started to pick up. The closing stages of the match saw Tanahashi countering several moves, as he eventually hit a Sling Blade on Sabre for a close fall.

Sabre fought his way back into the match, as he transitioned in an Octopus lock into one of his crazier and twisted armbars as the MSG crowd started to pop real loud. ZSJ eventually got Tanahashi to tap out and retained his title.

Result: Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi
