The main event was made into a Yoshida Style Elimination match before the opener.
Kagetora made the save for MaraIsa from another BW attack. He once again invited them to the Jimmyz (by talking loudly & close to their ears). Saito apologized, and refused. Saito said they were aiming for the Triangle Gate in Osaka, and were currently looking for their third member.
Susumu was pulling double duty today. He was competing in Mie on an Akebono promoted show, and was late in arriving to Nagoya. The main and semi-final swapped places.
There was quite a bit of friendly fire and poor communication between Takagi & YAMATO with the rest of their team. Takagi even eliminated Mochizuki to take out Kong at the same time. While YAMATO was taunting BW after winning, Mochizuki came over and slapped him. He blamed their selfishness as one of the reasons why JIII was broken up. Things got tense, but CIMA threw water on them to calm things.
Tozawa was in his usual rage mode. He blamed the loss on Kanda, since he was taken out so quickly. Kong was also in a bad mood. He said Kanda couldn't comprehend how bad it was for BW to lose in his namesake match. Tozawa blasted Kanda with the blue box, Kong followed up with a Cyber Bomb. Kanda was kicked from BW.
Saito & Horiguchi saved him from the attack. They said they would take in Kanda. Kanda said he was happy, but he has been acting so badly for long he wasn't sure anyone would accept him as their partner. Saito said something along the lines of "If you stink, just take a shower". The crowd erupted for babyface Kanda. Kanda was extremely humbled & happy. He will be their third in the Triangle Gate match.
Gamma suddenly spoke up. For whatever reason, he had been assuming he was their partner. Saito said he hadn't heard anything about that. Gamma was surprisingly okay with this development. He said he would just be on the other team! And his partners would be.... CIMA! No, CIMA has a Dream Gate defense.....Mochizuki! Yes! Mochizuki! Mochizuki agreed and promised not to hold Gamma back. He asked Kid, who declined. So Fujii will be the other one on the team.
CIMA & Mochizuki have reconciled their differences. Looks like the Veteran Army is back together.
Yoshino & Kage needled Susumu a bit about his tardiness, and praised him for wrestling three times in one day. Susumu apologized, and reported on the results from Mie. He & Fujii won in the first round, but fell to Akebono & Shinjiro Ohtani in round two. He asked Kage about the Maraha Isappa situation. Kagetora told him about their rejection. Susumu lamented a bit, but added that he was gradually seeing the Jimmy merits. He told Nagoya there would be a new Jimmy with them next time.
