Ice Ribbon - #974 ~ Osaka Ribbon 2019 III (8/3/2019)

5. International Ribbon Tag Team Championship: BURNING RAW (Giulia & Tequila Saya) (c) vs. Maika Ozaki & Saori Anou

A stupendous spot-fest; fast and furious action with great teamwork and little down time. There were a bunch of high-speed sequences that were fun to watch, and they do a wonderful job building heat for the near-falls.

****1/4

6. ICExInfinity Championship: Maya Yukihi (c) vs. Tsukasa Fujimoto

This was a gift to Osaka from Maya and Tsukasa. An excellently paced 30-minute epic. I found myself so absorbed in the action that I was invested in almost every sequence. There was an attention to detail and a number of exciting segments, including callbacks to previous bouts in the feud. The kickouts towards the end were excessive, but the flow and excitement of the match never slowed down.

****1/2
