Stardom - Gold May 2019 (5/16/2019)

3. Kagetsu vs. Toni Storm

Although the only thing at stake was the pride of the competitors, this was a title match-caliber performance that heated up Korakuen. Toni-san goes the distance in another 15-minute draw replete with strong content. 

****1/4

5. World of Stardom Championship: Bea Priestley (c) vs. Hazuki

This was a bomb-filled sprint between aggressive wrestlers. There was enough space between the bursts of action to allow for tension to build. A great first defense for Beato and one of the stronger singles performances from Hazuki.

***3/4

6. Wonder of Stardom Championship: Momo Watanabe (c) vs. Arisa Hoshiki

I thought there were cool exchanges here and Arisa's expanding her moveset in an interesting way. I suppose Momo plainly losing when she was out-striked during a strike exchange is appropriate against an opponent with a shoot boxing background, but the finishing stretch felt lacking.

***1/2
