Marvelous (1/6/2018)

1. Yamagata Yuu vs. Tae Honma

**1/2

2. NEW-TRA (Takumi Iroha & Rin Kadokura) vs. Mochi Miyagi & Miki Tanaka

This was enjoyable, there's a lot of comedy in this match that I thought was really good, and the action was solid as well. NEW-TRA are a super fun team to watch.

**3/4

3. Tomoko Watanabe vs. Natsumi Maki

Solid. Watanabe's a giant compared to Maki and they worked that dynamic well.

**1/4

5. Mabudachi❤Chu2byo卍卍 (Mio Momono, Mariko Nagasaki, Kyuuri & Rosa Negra) vs. W-FIX (KAORU, Chikayo Nagashima, Megumi Yabushita & Pandita)

This was chaotic, wacky and a joy to watch. Mabudachi were fun as always and W-FIX are an amazing obachan unit. I have no idea why Pandita is here, but he was hilarious bumping for tiny little girls.

Ryuichi Sekine vs. Sayaka Obihiro (Gatoh Move, 9/11/2016)

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・247 (9/11/2016)

Ryuichi Sekine vs. Sayaka Obihiro

A Ryuichi Sekine match.

**1/4

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・244 (8/26/2016)

2. Sayaka Obihiro vs. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

This was an entertaining match between two brilliant wrestlers.

**1/4

3. Aasa Maika,「Kotori」& Kazuhiro Tamura vs. Cherry, Emi Sakura & Masahiro Takanashi

What an amazing trios match, the finishing run was nuts. I liked the stuff that Cherry was doing in the early parts too - she works so well in GM.

***1/2

Gatoh Move - 5th Anniversary Convention ~ 6th Year Together with Everyone (9/22/2017)

3. Aasa Maika & Mitsuru Konno vs. Buribato♡ (SAKI & Mizuki)

This was an enjoyable match, it was nice to see Buribato teaming up again.

**1/2

5. Dick Togo, Jinsei Shinzaki & Sayaka Obihiro vs. Emi Sakura, Masa Takanashi & Golem Thai

This was action-packed and the crowd was really into. Enjoyable stuff.

6. Super Asia First Champion Tournament - Finals:「Kotori」vs. Riho

Great match to decide the first Super Asia Champion, the pacing was exciting and the counterwork was really good. I liked the persistence that「Kotori」shows and how Riho had to go overkill with somatos to keep her down.

***3/4

Emi Sakura vs. SAKI (Gatoh Move, 9/10/2017)

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・310 (9/10/2017)

Emi Sakura vs. SAKI

This was surprisingly great - I'm a fan of SAKI's tag team work, but her singles can be lacking. I felt she did a fine job here. It's a 10-minute time out draw and they kept the action exciting with cool counters and sequences. 

***1/4

Kaori Yoneyama & Madoka vs. Zhao Yun & Cherry Lee (Gatoh Move, 8/13/2014)

Gatoh Move - Japan Tour・125 ~ 7 Day War (8/13/2014)

One Count Match: Kaori Yoneyama & Madoka vs. Zhao Yun & Cherry Lee 

This was... mildly amusing. They could have played up the danger of the 1-count stipulation more, but I liked the moment where Yoneyama is refusing to turn onto her stomach when Cherry tries to pin her. Madoka was great as usual, he single-handedly carries this, for what it's worth.

**

Konosuke Takeshita vs. Makoto Oishi (DDT, 1/15/2017)

DDT - Road to Super Arena in Shimizu ~ Dramatic Dream Tsuna ~ (1/15/2017)

Konosuke Takeshita vs. Makoto Oishi

This was an amazing extended squash. Takeshita's asserting his dominance, working the back, trash talking, hitting these dickish stomps. Oishi looks so smoll against Takeshita, he was getting manhandled at times. Oishi finally starts to mount some offense, and he applies this snug headlock to slow down Takeshita's momentum. He didn't get a lot, but he made his offense count. Great match.
