Mitsuru Konno vs. Suruga Mei (Gatoh Move, 5/28/2018)

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・358 (5/28/2018)

Mitsuru Konno vs. Suruga Mei

I liked the opening sequence where they went for a test of strength, but Mei is too short to grab Konno's hand, so she jumps off of the wall to grab the hand. Suruga gets the spotlight and her work was good. Dug the Full Nelson transition into a Cattle Mutilation. Konno is fairly new herself, but she did a swell job of holding things together against the rookie.

***3/4

Kairi Hojo & Mayu Iwatani vs. Io Shirai & Momo Watanabe (Stardom, 4/23/2016)

Stardom - Grows Up Stars 2016: Kairi Hojo Homecoming (4/23/2016)

Kairi Hojo & Mayu Iwatani vs. Io Shirai & Momo Watanabe

Kairi is the hometown girl so she got a lot of shine here. I liked Io's work over on her and their segment had some awesome physicality.
