WAVE - Catch the WAVE 2018 ~ Opening Battle (3/11/2018)

6. Catch the WAVE 2018 Violence Block: Arisa Nakajima vs. Ayako Hamada

Man, Arisa's arm drags are a thing of beauty. Hamada hasn't been this good in a while - she brought it in this match. Swell stuff.

7. Catch the WAVE 2018 Crazy Block: Nagisa Nozaki vs. Ryo Mizunami

Another great match between these two, they have a dynamic that works well. Right when Mizunami thinks she has Nozaki figured out, countering her sleeper into the Hot Limit, Nozaki unveils a new Dragon Sleeper finisher! Amazing finish.

***3/4

8. Catch the WAVE 2018 Violence Block: Hiroe Nagahama vs. Misaki Ohata

I'm not fond of Nagahama's dropkick-centric offense. She wrestles like a rookie even though she's 3 years into her career, which is basically veteran status in joshi puroresu years. Ohata's workovers were nice, but there was too much move repetition in this match for it to rate any higher.
