Stardom - Goddesses of Stardom 2018 (Day) (10/20/2018)

3. Goddesses of Stardom Tag League 2018 Blue Goddess: Hana Kimura & Mary Apache vs. Hanan & Leo Onozaki

Hana's trip to Mexico awakened something that lied dormant inside of her. She's become a cold-blooded killer. Mesmerizing performance from her in this match, which was basically a torture session.

***1/2

6. Artist of Stardom Championship: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima & Tam Nakano) (c) vs. JAN (Jungle Kyona, Kaori Yoneyama & Natsuko Tora)

Stardom has been delivering some really great trios matches this year; this was another great one. High tempo action with cooperative attacks and big cutoffs. Tam and Natsuko have one of the best chapters of their feud yet.

***3/4

Sendai Girls - BIG SHOW in Sendai (10/14/2018)

3. DASH Chisako & Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Millie McKenzie & Rhia O’Reilly

Great tag team action and introduction to Millie & Rhia. Doubt I'll ever watch either of them again, unless they return to Japan, but they made an impression.

***1/2

6. Sendai Girls World Championship: Chihiro Hashimoto (c) vs. Cassandra Miyagi

The pacing was a little clunky and Cassandra was all over the place on offense, but maybe that unpredictability suits her character. The work becomes more focused towards the end and the finishing run with Chihiro making her strong return was good stuff. Both talents came off like stars in this big arena.

***3/4
