Io Shirai & Mio Shirai vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Mayu Iwatani (Stardom, 7/26/2015)

Stardom - Stardom X Stardom 2015 (7/26/2015)

Io Shirai & Mio Shirai vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Mayu Iwatani

Io has two incredible segments with Hiroyo and Mayu that basically feel like matches within the match. Mio was uncooperative as a tag partner, but Mayu keeps getting in cheap shots which forces her to get involved in the action and reunite with her sister. Great relevos incredibles drama.

****3/4

Fuka Matsuri 4 (5/4/2008)

2. Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters (Mio Shirai & Io Shirai) vs. NEO Machine Guns (Tanny Mouse & Yuki Miyazaki)

The Shirai Sisters were wonderfully sleazy around this time and you want to see them get their asses kicked, and the Machine Guns are here to do that. Miyazaki's moonsault is a thing of beauty.

4. Nanae Takahashi & Fuka vs. Yumiko Hotta & Haruka Matsuo

Two small girls with big vets as their guardians. Lots of stiffness and fighting spirit on display. I'm not familiar with Haruka, but she seemed impressive. The finish was built up well and legit shocking.

***3/4
