8. IWGP Intercontinental Title: MVP © beat Toru Yano (12:03) with the TTB (2nd defense).

9. Special Singles Match: Minoru Suzuki beat Satoshi Kojima (13:39) with a Gotch-style piledriver.

10. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Tanahashi © beat Giant Bernard (27:54) with a Dharma-style German suplex hold (6th defense).

* In the same region where he defeated Giant Bernard in a tournament final to begin his first IWGP Heavyweight Title reign almost five years ago to the day, Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated him in a half hour classic today to prove anew he is Japanese pro wrestling’s top star. Tanahashi heads into the G1 Climax as champion while Bernard fell just short of becoming a 3-crown champion as he of course holds both the IWGP Tag and NOAH’s GHC Tag titles with Karl Anderson.

* Masato Tanaka attacked MVP after the IWGP Intercontinental Champion again beat Toru Yano to retain his title. As a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion and with much experience overseas, Tanaka will make a fitting next challenger for MVP most likely after the G1 Climax.
