Kimura Kyoko Retirement Memorial Festival ~ LAST AFRO ~ (1/22/2017)

4. Toshimen Pool Ticket Contest Battle Royal: Aoi Kizuki vs. Bambi vs. Cherry vs. Chon Shiryu vs. Gabai Ji-chan vs. Hercules Senga vs. Kagetsu vs. KAORU vs. Lingerie Muto vs. Mayu Iwatani vs. Mayumi Ozaki vs. Mitsuhisa Sunabe vs. Moeka Haruhi vs. Natsumi Maki vs. Onryo vs. Takashi Sasaki vs. Tsubo Genjin vs. Tsukasa Fujimoto vs. Yuki Miyazaki vs. Yuko Miyamoto vs. Yuu Yamagata

Gabai Ji-chan is the best thing going today. Easily the MVP of this match. The Mayu/Fujimoto/Kagetsu HIGH SPEED segment was loads of fun too. Mayu and Kagetsu should never stop being rivals.

**3/4

5. AKINO & Io Shirai vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata

Io's involvement makes this very special, but it's a rather by the numbers tag match. Somewhat of a letdown. Maybe my expectations were too high for a random tag on a retirement show.

**1/2

6. Aja Kong, Meiko Satomura & Minoru Suzuki vs. Hana Kimura, ISAO & Kyoko Kimura

Suzuki being an evil bastard is where this shined and the crowd was really into the sentimental family stuff.

***1/2

7. Hana Kimura vs. Kyoko Kimura

Great impromptu match, mother and daughter slugging it out, big boots and genuine emotion. Hana has a legitimate wrist injury which only made her comeback more hard-fought. She's a trooper, and she gives a strong performance. God bless, Hana! I hope she returns stronger than ever!
