Sugar Sato vs. Dynamite Kansai. *3/4
Reiko Amano & Chikayo Nagashima vs. Toshie Uematsu & Sonoko Kato. ****
Ozaki & Sato vs. Kyoko Inoue & Yoshiko Tamura. ***1/2
Sugar Sato vs. Devil Masami (JWP). **
Aja Kong and Carlos (Rieko) Amano vs. Toshiyo Yamada & Meiko Satomura. ***1/2
Mayumi Ozaki vs. Mima Shimoda. Really bloody brawl. The blood came too easy. However, their selling, which made the match really dramatic, especially toward the finish, justified the amount of blood. It was a spotfest in a sense because they were either beating each other down with weapons or doing big moves, but the way they worked the key spots into the match, and played off what had already been done, both the seeds they planted through the teases and counters as well as revenge spots, made the moves have meaning. ****
Kaori Nakayama vs. Sakura Hirota. Hirota made fun of Nakayama's pathetic Milky gimmick a lot before the match, and they played off that in the early portion, but mainly it was rest holds and useless submissions for the first 11 minutes. After that Kaori did a bunch of high spots and Sakura tried to bump for her. If the match was about 1/3 as long, it would have been okay because some of the comedy was funny (Hirota selling a low blow doesn't fall into that category though) and Kaori has a few good spots. This just seemed to go on forever though. *
Mayumi Ozaki vs. Akira Hokuto. We've waited 6 years for the rematch, and apparently that was a few too long because both have been GAEAized, Hokuto is washed up, and Ozaki hurt her knee on the first spot of the match. Ozaki was hobbling around the rest of the match, but it took Hokuto 4 1/2 minutes to pick up on this and then, after working it over a few minutes, she totally left it because the match was so short that it was time to do a few spots and go home. It was embarrassing seeing these two have such a mindless match, and Ozaki was off because of her knee. *1/2
Mayumi Ozaki & Aja Kong & Sugar Sato vs. Lioness Asuka & Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita. Helter skelter match with heavy use of chairs and tables. Good moves, but these women should be above the ECW TV match level of lets do everything we know in 9 minutes because we don't want people to get bored and flip the channel. Ozaki's knee wasn't as much of a factor against her and she was in and out, so she looked better here. **1/2
