Stardom - Grows Up Stars 2018 (3/21/2018)

1. Nao Yamaguchi vs. Hiromi Mimura

Nao seems to be coming along fine, the crowd popped for her Ax Bomber.

2. Bea Priestley vs. Xia Brookside vs. Shiki Shibusawa

This was a lot better than I expected. Great action and pacing. Bea was putting a beating on her opponents, her offense looks very convincing!

**3/4

3. Team Jungle (Jungle Kyona & Natsuko Tora) & Konami vs Queen's Quest (Viper, Momo Watanabe & AZM)

Nice, action-packed trios match. I dug the exchange between Konami and Momo, and AZM did a cool springboard stomp on the apron.

4. Mary Apache & Faby Apache vs. Io Shirai & HZK

This was a spectacular debut for the Apache Sisters. Faby looked better here than from what I've seen of her in AAA. She took this match to the next level with her energy and ferocity. Mari seemed motivated by her sister's presence, and Io & HZK were great as usual.

***3/4

5. Oedo Tai (Kagetsu, Hana Kimura & Sumire Natsu) vs. Mayu Iwatani, Tam Nakano & Toni Storm

This was highly entertaining, a great houseshow main event.

***1/4
