JWP - Fly High in the 25th Anniversary (1/29/2017)

1. Sareee vs. Yako Fujigasaki

Sareee's violent streak and Yako's visual hunt are on a collision course. Great way to open a show. Possibly the best match of Yako Fujigasaki's career.

***1/2

2. Judo Rules: KAZUKI & Rydeen Hagane vs. Hiiragi Kurumi & Megumi Yabushita

JWP's version of YAWARA WAVE and its one of the cutest matches of the year.

***3/4

3. Command Bolshoi vs. Kagetsu

There's some was fluid and smooth grappling here, but it was a heatless affair. It's fun to watch Kagetsu evolve, she's been learning how to connect more with the crowd, thanks in part to her heel work in Oedo Tai.

**1/2

4. Hamuko Hoshi & Manami Katsu vs. Manami Toyota & Tsukushi

I dig this Hamuko-Katsu dream team, they wore matching leopard-print and did double hip attacks. This was a fine match, nothing special.

**1/2

5. JWP Openweight Championship: Hanako Nakamori (c) vs. Leon

The near-falls were effective, and the head drops and head-kicks were brutal. An awesome first defense for Hanako-san.

***3/4
