6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
Kazushi Sakuraba, Tomohiro Ishii, Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Captain New Japan, Manabu Nakanishi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan
Ishii and Tenzan almost come to blows before the match even starts. Tenzan takes down Nakamura and mocks his foot shake in the corner. Shinsuke fights back with a big knee and the heels clear the apron. Ishii tags in and the big men have a chop battle. That’s too sissy, apparently, so they have a headbutt battle instead. Tenzan sells for about five minutes until he hits a spinning heel kick on Ishii and makes the hot tag to Nakanishi, who beats down everyone. He picks up Nakamura and no-sells kicks from Sakuraba, then throws them into each other. Captain tags in but misses a splash from the top rope. The heels triple team him until the babyfaces come back and save the match. Nakanishi and Tenzan beat down Ishii and Captain hits a diving headbutt for two. He tries for a chokeslam, but settles for the Rock Bottom for another nearfall. Captain takes a running knee from all three opponents, and Ishii pins him with a brainbuster.
Ishii and Tenzan brawl after the match, and it takes 10 men to separate them.
Winners: Ishii, Sakuraba, Nakamura
