"Posting to comment on the Matsumoto-Satomura match and the Kong-Hashimoto matches, and request that they become recommended matches. The match between Matsumoto and Satomura did start off rather par for the course but in the last 5 minutes it really picked up with great back and forth action. Highlights include Hiroyo countering Meiko's attempted splash by getting her knees up, and a couple of great nearfalls. Overall match: 79/100. The Kong-Hashimoto match was quite intense throughout. Kong and Hashimoto just went back and forth delivering great offensive sequences to each other, interspersed by a great section of beating each other outside the ring. The whole match was a steadily built highlight. Overall match: 88/100 Overall event: unrated."

[7.0] "My first Sendai show since the 10th anniversary in July. I really like both ladies' serious postures during the opening of the first contest. However, I didn't quite get the booking of the bout in that Konami dominated on the mat, but was cradled by Shirahime who surprisingly outshined Konami, even w/ her kicks. Nice, modest opener. It's hard to say if Momono is appealing but outside of one flub in jumping over Hana, she looked fine and took the finishing missle dropkick real well. The third match was comedy garbage. Now the fourth bout is party time - I haven't followed OZ since HM won its top belt, but she has something else besides the Goddess title she won w/ Kyona. MS recently lost a contenders opportunity so she's needs a win, especially over an outside talent, to climb back up the ladder. Although there's not much history here, as they're amongst the elite in their field, they established some top ladies chemistry. And top birds in a singles match, no-matter where on the card, will deliver a Main event. I swear, even more so w/ the colors of her ring gear, but I think Meiko and Goto are related. The bout only stalls when HM is on basic offense as she doesn't come off as if she's got a MMA background or a natural fighter's instincts when she's not engaging in pro wrestling movesets. My favorite Meiko move is her cartwheel kneedrop; that's something special. A back elbow and an alright lariat finishes the 3 1/3 - 1/2 match. Apparently the mini-tourney final was a rubber match. Shirahime looks like a 'onryo' when on offense; Hana 'cool girl' looks gets her the push but I preferred MS. Hopefully this is the last we see of the dominant in-tune OZ ladies beating up poor Dash. The Main saw CH recapture Senda Girls top title from the lady who beat her in January. Though too long, I enjoyed Aja beating up/sit-down splashing the young girl and the crowd was still into it at the end. Did this fed re-feed this match too soon? Is CH really over? We will see. 6. 5"
