Stardom - U-REALM Presents YOKOHAMA DREAM CINDERELLA 2021 in Spring (4/4/2021)

2. Mina Shirakawa vs. Momo Watanabe

Despite this being the second match on the card, it felt like they were both giving it their all and it exceeded expectations. Momo didn't take Mina lightly. Mina gave a brave performance that showed her growth, using some impressive new techniques.

***1/2

3. Unagi Sayaka vs. Saya Kamitani

Kamitani brought the best out of Unagi, and I was impressed with her generalship. She showed that she can handle a relatively long match against a less experienced opponent.

***1/4

4. Elimination - Loser Must Join Rival Unit: STARS (Hanan, Saya Iida, Starlight Kid, Mayu Iwatani & Gokigen DEATH) vs. Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora, Saki Kashima, Konami, Ruaka & Rina)

This went on for nearly half an hour and was a full-fledged Dragon Gate-style unit warfare with exciting action, dramatic momentum shifts, and unexpected twists and turns. This match contained all the charm of professional wrestling.

4. Wonder of Stardom Championship: Tam Nakano (c) vs. Natsupoi

There is a lot of history between these two and that was what made this match so emotional. Dramatic and emotionally charged big matches like this are Nakano's forte, and Natsupoi is a highly athletic wrestler who knows how to bear her emotions. The finishing stretch brought everything together in an amazing way.

****1/4

5. World of Stardom Championship: Utami Hayashishita (c) vs. Bea Priestley

Bea was channeling Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 11 with the diving foot stomp to a table, diving dropkick to the back of the head and all sorts of knee strikes. She was aggression incarnate and just kept the pressure on the champion, who took all of her big moves head-on. This match packed a lot of explosive power from both competitors.

****1/2

6. Goddesses of Stardom Championship: Donna del Mondo (Maika & Himeka) (c) vs. Donna del Mondo (Giulia & Syuri)

A grueling tag team main event with a wide range of moves and well-placed momentum shifts that kept the action engaging. There was a logical flow of big moves getting bigger and bigger, with both teams showing excellent chemistry and teamwork. Giulia, named "Reiwa’s Dangerous Queen" by Akira Hokuto, unleashing a Northern Lights Bomb at the end was a nice touch.

****1/4
