Hikaru Shida vs. Aja Kong (OZ Academy, 9/17/2018)

OZ Academy - Flower Bloom in Yokohama (9/17/2018)

OZ Academy Openweight Championship: Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Aja Kong

What a war this match was, these two beat the hell out of each other. The limbwork between them was brutal and they did a splendid job of selling the damage of it. The visual of Aja brandishing the shinai as blood pours from her head was amazing. Great defense for Shida, this rivalry always delivers.

****3/4

KAI vs. Kenny Omega (AJPW, 10/23/2011)

AJPW - Pro-Wrestling Love In Ryogoku Vol. 13

AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship: KAI (c) vs. Kenny Omega

What an awesome bombfest. This was just a highly aesthetic exchange of big moves and big bumps. KAI was on top of his game, dramatically different than what you'd see from him nowadays. Loved the opening shtick with Kenny making a mockery of Mutoh before they switched gears.

****1/2
