JWP - Fly High in the 25th Anniversary Party ~ The Thanksgiving (4/2/2017)

4. Manami Katsu vs. Mayumi Ozaki

Ozaki always brings the heat, no matter who she's facing. Unfortunately Katsu wasn't very good at all here.

**3/4

5. Daily Sports Tag Team Championship & JWP Tag Team Championship: Command Bolshoi & Leon (c) vs. WANTED '14 (KAZUKI & Raideen Hagane)

Bolshoi and Leon are a fun team to behold, and KAZUKI & Raideen were like miniature bulldozers. Loved every second of this.

****

6. JWP Openweight Championship: Hanako Nakamori (c) vs. Tsubasa Kuragaki

This is the final JWP Openweight Championship match on the final JWP show ever, so of course it ends on a roll-up. This was actually going well until that puzzling finish, the final match in the company should have had a decisive finish.

***1/4

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Shinjuku Love Rin (9/22/2016)

3. Rika Tatsumi vs. Yuka Sakazaki

A surprising submission-based match. The struggles were nice, but I wish they could have sold better.

**

4. Biishiki-gun (Saki Akai, Ai Shimizu & KANNA) vs. Shoko Nakajima, Akane Miura & Maho Kurone

There's a dramatic moment where Ai and Saki crawl across the battlefield, bodies scattered everywhere, and reach out for one another only to faint before they can touch. Fun match for KANNA's graduation.

***1/2

5. TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Miyu Yamashita (c) vs. Yuu

An intense, fast-paced clash with some great mat wrestling. I liked the aggression from Miyu in her grappling, the Cobra Clutch slam she does is always great. Yuu does her Judo slams and those stiff chops.

****1/2

SAKI vs. Sayaka Obihiro (Gatoh Move, 6/4/2016)

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・230 (6/4/2016)

SAKI vs. Sayaka Obihiro

Obihiro uses tactical espionage to gain an early advantage, emerging from the window with a surprise attack. There's some sloppiness here, but I always enjoy Obihiro's dramatic performance and SAKI did interesting moves.

**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

La Rosa Negra vs. Io Shirai (Stardom, 9/6/2015)

Stardom - 5★STAR GP2015 (9/6/2015)

5★STAR Grand Prix Red Stars Block: La Rosa Negra vs. Io Shirai

This was an enjoyable match. Rosa is strange, but she's a smarter performer with great technique. The looks on the faces of Kyona and Mayu as Rosa was grinding her crotch into Io's face was funny.

***

Yuu vs. Azusa Takigawa (Tokyo Joshi Pro, 4/8/2017)

Tokyo Joshi Pro - AT THIS TIME, GET EXCITED IN NARIMASU (4/8/2017)

TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Yuu (c) vs. Azusa Takigawa

The way Yuu man-handles her opponents and destroys their chests with chops is unsavory. Azusa performed well enough, her chest was starting to look nasty and she was still taking those chops until the end.

***1/2
