1. ASUKA vs. Mika Iida
Damn, this was good. IIda was either legimately hurting or doing a great job selling -- in any case, she did a fantastic job putting over ASUKA. They were roughhousing and stiffing the hell out of each other.
***3/4
2. Aoi Kizuki, Hiroe Nagahama & Moeka Haruhi vs. Cherry, Kaori Yoneyama & Misaki Ohata
**3/4
3. Isami Kodaka vs. Keisuke Goto
Goto's turning into a solid wrestler, and he seems easy to work off of. He actually had Kodaka's number towards the end, but the veteran caught him lacking.
***
5. Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Rina Yamashita
Solid heavyweight showdown. I didn't think it reached that 'next level', but they were trading some hard smacks.

6. 2 out of 3 Falls: Kyuuri & Mio Momono vs. Over Sun (Yuki Miyazaki & Yumi Ohka)
Enjoyed this a lot, Over Sun are such a fun team.
***1/4
7. Hikaru Shida vs. Ryo Mizunami
What an awesome match, it breezes through those 20 minutes. Shida was working over Mizunami in brutal fashion -- seriously, the outside brawl was one of the best I've seen this year. Those chair-punts to the face of Mizunami were wicked. I really like how Shida has been utilizing those knee strikes lately, they look and sound amazing. Mizunami was struggling to survive, picking her spots when she could and making it count. Fantastic match.
****1/2
