Meiko Satomura vs. Manami Katsu (Sendai Girls, 3/9/2019)

Sendai Girls (3/9/2019)

Meiko Satomura vs. Manami Katsu

There were engrossing mat struggles in this match, I never associated that style of wrestling with Katsu, but she is a student of Command Bolshoi and it showed. Great back and forth on stand-up as well, with heavy offense and counters.

Kaori Yoneyama vs. Mei Suruga 

Good match, these two developed a fun chemistry. Mei showcased her skills and charisma, and Yoneyama is so great as a rookie eater.

Momo Watanabe vs. Jungle Kyona (Stardom, 3/3/2019)

Stardom - Stardom World in Nagoya 2019 (3/3/2019)

Wonder of Stardom Championship: Momo Watanabe (c) vs. Jungle Kyona

Great match. I liked the beatdowns and physicality before they got into the big time maneuvers and counters. Kyona gave a spirited performance as the hometown hero, hitting a Kinniku Buster (!) as a desperation maneuver, ultimately coming up short in grand fashion.

****1/4
