Regina Di WAVE Championship:
Ayako Hamada vs. Hikaru Shida ©
Really good
smackfest, but unfortunately they clipped 7 minutes out of it, they only aired
10 out of 17 minutes. However, I feel like they showed the most important parts
therefore I’m gonna rate it. I really like how they created lots of drama just
by exchanging mean death stares, with the only (key) difference Hamada actually
materializing those stares into something concrete. I don’t feel like writing
about the technical stuff here, I just want you to know the match is really
good and worth checking out.
***3/4

Aya
Mizunami vs. Yumi Ohka
One of the
many reasons why pro-graps is so captivating, simple and awesome is how you can
be able to get into competitors you’re watching for the very first time ever,
because they’re telling great stories in the ring and you suddenly feel you’ve
known them your whole life. I’ve never even heard of these two before, but here
they are, beating the shit out of each other for our entertainment, with
Mizunami playing a perky, overexcited underdog and Ohka being on the verge of
losing the match she’s supposed to win. It’s intense and dramatic and contains
some truly hellish BIG BOOTS to the face!

Kyoko
Kimura vs. Meiko Satomura
Such a
gritty smackfest between two seasoned veterans of joshi, 20 minutes of pure
awesomeness, these two ladies told a captivating story about toughness and resilience.
Everything about this was at least good. I want more!

REINA World Tag Team Championship:
Syuri & Hikaru Shida vs. Kana & Arisa Nakajima ©
Fuuuck me,
this was wild! I mean, the match was 20 minutes long and felt like one gigantic
finishing stretch, but not in a bad way, no way, because they somehow managed
to make it work through all the dramatic saves, great selling and constant
changes of pace and rhythm. Not to mention tons of brutal, hellish strikes that
looked and sounded like something straight out of Battlarts factory. Ikeda and
Ishikawa would be proud. Great match!
****1/4
