Stardom - Cinderella Tournament 2018 (4/30/2018)

12. Cinderella Tournament 2018 - Quarter Finals: Brandi Rhodes vs. Io Shirai

This was a fine match. Good layout, nothing outside of Brandi's skill set. Brandi is obviously limited in the ring, and she also lacks in charisma and physical confidence... insanely attractive woman though, so she does her part in increasing the visual of Oedos.

**1/4

13. Cinderella Tournament 2018 - Quarter Finals: Jungle Kyona vs. Momo Watanabe

Awesome match from these two, a desperate and passionate struggle with plenty of stiff hits. Kyona's selling of the B Driver on the apron and the way Momo just flicks her to the floor was excellent. Cool character moment for Momotaro.

***1/2

14. Cinderella Tournament 2018 - Semi-Finals: Io Shirai vs. Mayu Iwatani

What a treat that these two met in Cinderella. Slow, heavy pacing, selling the damage from their previous matches. I liked Io's targeting of Mayu's arm and that gnarly knee that she connected to Mayu's skull. Mayu springs back into action like a zombie with a fun comeback sequence.

***1/2

15. Cinderella Tournament 2018 - Finals: Bea Priestley vs. Momo Watanabe

An intense back and forth struggle. Some great trades, but it never reached that next level. I'm stoked that Momo won the tournament though.
