6. 5STAR Grand Prix 2021 Red Stars: Himeka vs. Natsupoi
Himeka used her size and power to work over the mid section of Natsupoi. Natsupoi used her speediness, technical ability and picked her spots with explosive attacks. Despite her size, Natsupoi landed a nice bridging German suplex on the larger opponent.
***1/2
7. 5STAR Grand Prix 2021 Red Stars: Giulia vs. Mina Shirakawa
This was a short but lively match. It only went about 5 minutes, but they wrestled with a clear purpose, with Mina targetting Giulia's injured neck and Giulia looking for that one-shot to make her return. The finish was sudden but I think they set it up really well and I was convinced by it. Giulia's heavy elbow strikes sounded great as always.
***1/2
8. 5STAR Grand Prix 2021 Red Stars: Koguma vs. Starlight Kid
Koguma is extraordinary. She is deceptively athletic and you never know what amazing things she might do in a match. Awesome junior style bout, with technical wrestling, aerial maneuvers and flashy moves. Koguma, who usually has a calm atmosphere, attacked before the bell and showed a more aggressive side in a match that felt like the start of a high speed rivalry between her and Starlight Kid.
***3/4
10. 5STAR Grand Prix 2021 Blue Stars: Takumi Iroha vs. Tam Nakano
These two had never faced each other before but with their natural chemistry, they were able to produce a super match. Everything flowed smoothly and the strikes and suplexes had a sense of weight to them. Tamu, as always, did a great job of injecting emotion into the proceedings.
****1/4
