Tokyo Joshi Pro - How Do You Like Shinkiba? (9/22/2018)

4. Mizuki vs. Maki Ito

These two put together a strong match with great storytelling. Ito is at her best in these story-driven matches, this was easily her best singles bout.

***1/2

5. Hikari & Yuka Sakazaki vs. Yuki Aino & Nodoka Tenma

No clue why this was given the semi-main spot, but the work justified its placement. The MVP of the match was unironically Hikari, she's getting so much mileage out of that cobra twist.

***1/2

6. Azusa Takigawa vs. Miyu Yamashita

Enjoyed this a lot. I'm not a fan of Azusa's gimmick of interrupting the action to cut a promo, but it's over with the crowd so I'll tolerate it. They worked a big match pacing and the match had some nifty counters. Miyu reversing a crucifix hold into an Attitude Adjustment was very nice.

***3/4
