This look shockingly watchable for a tag-league finals (and a show with no Tanahashi, to boot).

Not really. It's an extremely out of place match. Kind of makes me angry all over again that they never did anything with Fale destroying Darryl if they're willing to do Heavyweight vs. Jr. Heavyweight singles matches.
