Stardom - Goddesses of Stardom Tag League 2017 (11/05/2017)

2. Goddesses of Stardom Tag League 2017: AZM & Starlight Kid vs. Natsuko Tora & Shiki Shibusawa

AZM & Starlight Kid should team up more after this tournament; they make a good pair of tricksters.

5. Goddesses of Stardom Tag League 2017: Oedo Tai (Hana Kimura & Kagetsu w/ Michiko Ohmukai) vs. Queen's Quest (HZK & Io Shirai)

Ohmukai is supporting Oedo Tai in this match and she made her presence felt. Kagetsu accidentally painted her face blue with her poison mist in a very cool spot. This had great brawling, and I like the sadism shown by Oedo Tai when they pull Io's legs open. HZK's always showing improvement, adding new things to her arsenal, like the springboard dropkick she hits here.  Good match.

6. Goddesses of Stardom Tag League 2017 - Finals: Bea Priestley & Kelly Klein vs. Jungle Kyona & Yoko Bito

I thought this was a solid main event, even though I didn't particularly care for either team. They worked a fast pace and the action was generally good. Bea hits a sunset flip on Kyona from the second rope that was sold like DEATH, strong way to close the tournament.

**3/4

Stardom - Stardom X Stardom in Osaka (7/23/2017)

1. Hanan & Ruaka vs. Shiki Shibusawa & Starlight Kid

**

2. Gabby Ortiz & Xia Brookside vs. Team Jungle (Kaori Yoneyama & Natsuko Tora)

**

3. AZM vs. Hiromi Mimura

**1/4

4. Mari Apache vs. Shanna

**1/2

5. HZK vs. Jungle Kyona

This match has a vile-sounding headbutt in just the opening sequence! It's amazing that they were able to keep up the pace, because that looked like it hurt bad. HZK's bully-esque offense was great, and Kyona brings an emotion to her performances that draws you in. Great, hard-hitting match.

***3/4

6. Konami, Michiko Ohmukai & Yoko Bito vs. Oedo Tai (Hana Kimura, Kagetsu & Kris Wolf)

Oedo Tai are breakdancing ninjas now. Alright. At least they've gotten a new and better entrance theme. Bito breaks out a Splash Mountain for the victory. This was a fun match.

***3/4

7. Wonder of Stardom Championship: Mayu Iwatani (c) vs. Viper

This was good. An obvious filler match, from the moment it was announced, but good. Mayu puts on a great performance as she fights hard for her big comeback; she's getting cut off and ragdolled before she rallies for her second wind, and Viper bumps like crazy.

***3/4
