THE EVENT
~ As they weren't teaming together, both Shoichi Uchida and Ray Paloma kept their pants on. However, while this was true of Uchida, Ray stood up from his chair, which was near Referee Yoshino and let's just say, parts of the back of the pants were down. Yoshino muttered why "this person had to stop here and start doing something", and that it was probably a mistake for him to be wearing pants. Ray said a picture was 500 yen. 
~Shoichi Uchida came out with his baby doll (he's a divorced father of four and is honked constantly for child support), and handed it to referee Yoshino, who wore an undisguised look of disgust. Then a fight broke out, and Referee Yoshino put it very gently in the corner. Fans found it creepy looking. 
~Fans called the first match a "generational struggle". 
~ Kyohei Kinoshita and Ultimate Spider Jnr, danced on entry. Naoki Tanizaki said he was doing a shuffle dance with them. Jun Masaoka didn't dance, but Ultimate Spider Jnr hinted that this was because he hadn't practiced with them.
~ Gunso came out with his trademark knives, but as this was not a hardcore match, he didn't use them (not that it has to be a hardcore match)
~ The second match was called "Dove's Smart Criminal" (Kabuki Kid) vs "Dove's City Pop Star" (Ray Paloma, who is from Hiroshima...he claims the Atomic Dome). 
~ Kabuki Kid was told off for raking Ray's eyes, poking them, low blow back kick, and punching with a closed fist. Outside the ring, he sprayed disinfectant at him. 
~ Ray was scolded for dancing through the customers by the long suffering referee. "The Long Suffering Referee" later found his hotel room had been upgraded to two single beds, and a strange looking sofa. The bed was so comfy and he was so tired, he fell asleep immediately. 
~ YASSHI, shall we say, did a kind of reverse cupcake to his opponents.
~ TiiDa apparently fainted after the match, and had no idea that his team had won. He said he was immensely grateful to YASSHI for coming to check on him.

TRIVIA
~ According to YASSHI, the Dove tag belts are made from beer cans.
