3. Alex Lee, Ami Sato & Hikaru Shida vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto, La Rosa Negra & Mio Momono

4. Hana Kimura vs. Mika Shirahime

When I read this only went 4-minutes, I was psyched. They were making all of their offense count, there's hard slaps and head-sweeping kicks and boots, and a shoot headbutt from Hana that sounded disgusting. Hana showed some barbarism in this, she tries to take Shirahime's face off with a Bakatare Sliding Kick, and ends the match with a rough-looking knee strike. 

***1/4

5. Aja Kong & Meiko Satomura vs. Ayako Hamada & Chihiro Hashimoto

Chihiro gets brought back to reality in this match, taking a beating from two legends she has defeated this year. Good struggle, good match.

Sendai Girls - Big Show in Niigata (7/15/2017)

4. Aja Kong, Meiko Satomura & Nanae Takahashi vs. Mika Shirahime, Mio Momono & Rin Kadokura

The segments between Satomura and Hime were fantastic. All of the rookie desperation spots and the veteran punishes were great. Kong DEVASTATES Mio with this backdrop.

***3/4

5. Sendai Girls Tag Team Championship: Hikaru Shida & Syuri (c) vs. Cassandra Miyagi & DASH Chisako

Felt like it went longer than it needed to be, but the action never slowed down. This mini Shida-Miyagi rivalry is great. Chisako spent most of the match getting bumped around and worked over, but she makes a surly comeback.

***1/2

6. Sendai Girls World Championship: Hiroyo Matsumoto (c) vs. Chihiro Hashimoto

Chihiro is a sturdy wall of meat. Definitely the weaker of the Chihiro matches from this year. It didn't have the sense of danger that her previous big matches did, and boiled down to an exchange of moves and the two using one another's finisher, and while all of this looked great, there wasn't much else going on here.

***1/4

Sendai Girls (6/10/2017)

1. Mika Shirahime vs. Mio Momono

Shirahime, man, she's so good at conveying her frustration! The hits looked great here. Monono was a crafty little pink rookie. Great opener.

***1/2

4. Sendai Girls Tag Team Championship: Hikaru Shida & Syuri (c) vs. Hana Kimura & Meiko Satomura

Solid semi-main, highlighted by the awesome strike exchanges between Syuri and Satomura. Those two have such great strikes. Hana-chan was also a welcome addition to this match!

***1/2

5. Sendai Girls World Championship: Chihiro Hashimoto (c) vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto

Hiroyo works over Chihiro's neck throughout, hitting a gruesome Gin and Tonic, and it leads to an amazing finishing stretch where the champion can't maintain the bridge of her German suplex due to the damage done to her neck. The selling was good; the pacing of the match feels smooth with an organic escalation, and Chihiro is just a sight to behold! This was an awesome clash of titans!

Sendai Girls (4/6/2017)

1. Tag Team Championship Challenger Decision Tournament, Semi Final: Konami vs. Mika Shirahime

This was an awesome opener with some great close-proximity grappling.

***1/2

2. Tag Team Championship Challenger Decision Tournament, Semi Final: Hana Kimura vs. Mio Momono

This was a good display of rookie fire and desperation. Hana-chan sends Monono half-way across the ring with an awesome diving dropkick for the finish.

***

4. Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Meiko Satomura

The action here was very exciting and had some nice big moves and hits.

****

5. Tag Team Championship Challenger Decision Tournament, Final: Hana Kimura vs. Mika Shirahime

This was an even stronger version of the match they had last month. I like how this feud is developing.

****

6. Sendai Girls World Tag Team Championship: Hikaru Shida & Syuri (c) vs. DASH Chisako & Cassandra Miyagi

This was loads of fun, fast paced and jam-packed with stiff hits and double teams and counters and WEAPONS. Plus the crowd was hot.

****

7. Sendai Girls World Championship: Aja Kong (c) vs. Chihiro Hashimoto

I like how they build into that first German suplex and how desperate Aja gets as she becomes worn down by Chihiro. That finishing stretch was bonkers. Really strong storytelling in this match as Aja puts over Chihiro HUGE.

****3/4

Sendai Girls (3/12/2017)

2. Hikaru Shida, Hana Kimura & Big Bang Nicole vs. KAORU, Mika Shirahime & Mio Momono

Shida and Hana on the same team! This was a fun trios match, everyone got their moment, especially Mio Momono. Hana has a great dropkick, and Shiri's knee strikes were sold wonderfully by Shirahime.

***1/2

3. Meiko Satomura & Alex Lee vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Syuri

Good, snug action in this semi-main. Satomura gets pinned clean for the second time this year, this time by Hiroyo. Is this real life?

***1/2

Stardom - Premium Star Wars in Nagoya (6/5/2016)

4. Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Jungle Kyona

Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall is an immersive venue. This was great; huge hip attacks, open-handed slaps and heavy grappling between burly young lions.

***3/4

5. High Speed Championship: Mayu Iwatani (c) vs. Kagetsu

The action was fast, the kicks were swift and precise, and all of the counters they did were really fluid. Mayu gives Kagetsu a taste of her own medicine with a traffic sign to the head. It was a satisfying end to this chapter of their feud.

***1/2

6. Io Shirai & Kairi Hojo vs. Meiko Satomura & Mika Iwata

Iwata's hair goes wild as the match progresses, it's great. Hojo's never-ending quest to prove herself to Satomura turned up the heat in Nagoya. The finishing run was explosive, what a way to cap off the show.

****1/2
