Stardom - New Year Stars 2022 (2022)
High Speed Championship: Starlight Kid (c) vs. Natsupoi
I have been enjoying the High Speed division very much lately. It's a small division so everyone is fighting each other consistently and developing a deep chemistry. The previous match between these two was an "evolution of high speed" and with this match they continued to push the boundaries of the division with a long-form main event in Korakuen Hall that was a splendid mix of technicality, high-flying, charisma and emotion. The fleet-footed back and forth action couldn't be contained in the ring and spilled to the outside several times, leading to big time moves and sequences on the floor or apron that sometimes involved their stablemates. Lots of top notch trades and skillful evading of each other's attacks. The few lulls were followed by sudden bursts of offense and defense. A high speed classic. ****1/2
