Stardom - 5★STAR GP2016 FINALS (9/22/2016)

3. Kairi Hojo vs. Hiromi Mimura

Hojo's return after getting eggplanted by Io. She cosplayed as Tessa Blanchard for some reason. Maybe she forgot her attire at home. Obviously Hiromi is no threat for the holder of the White Belt, but she managed a very believable near-fall.

**1/4

4. Momo Watanabe, Jungle Kyona, Mayu Iwatani vs. Oedo-Tai (Kyoko Kimura, Kagetsu & X)

Kyoko Kimura's daughter Hana is revealed as Oedo-Tai's mystery member. She wears a ninja-style jumpsuit. I like it. Kagetsu looked like a beast.

5. SWA World Championship: Toni Storm (c) vs. Blue Nikita

"what a terrible match without selling moves." - Renown joshi journalist Dedy Silveria

no

6. World of Stardom Championship: Io Shirai (c) vs. Kay Lee Ray

KLR lost her final match in the GP, but gets a title opportunity anyway because Rossy booking. This was an enjoyable spotfest; they did some neat things and didn't insult my intelligence.

7. 5★STAR GP Finals: Yoko Bito vs. Tessa Blanchard

Tessa is main eventing in the legendary Koraken Hall. She has made it as a wrestler by all accounts, and she does a brilliant job heeling it up on Bito, sort of... the crowd is unfortunately not into it, but I was. There were some sloppy moments, but overall I thought this was solid.

**3/4
