Mr. Pogo
The Gladiator competed against three low-card competitors in a gauntlet match. He defeated his first opponent Naohiko Yamazaki after an "Awesome Bomb". Gladiator would then defeat his second opponent Yoshinori Sasaki after an "Awesome Splash". His final opponent was Mr. Pogo #2. Gladiator tried to perform an "Awesome Bomb" but Pogo escaped it and delivered a backdrop suplex. He continued the momentum with an elevated cutter and a chokeslam. Gladiator made a comeback by performing a release German suplex but Pogo did not sell the move and charged at him but Gladiator hit a boot. He then hit a lariat and an "Awesome Bomb" for the win.
