Mizuki & Xia Zhao vs. VENY & Yuki Kamifuku

[7.0] "A very clean, competent, well-worked match. I would love to see Veny and Mizuki go one-on-one. Veny was not gentle in the slightest, but Mizuki took it all and gave it back as much as she could. I wish we got a little more Kamiyu in the match, but she had a good showing, and made Xia look like a very credible challenger to her title. A fine match, just not any drama or intrigue here, especially after the previous match on the card and the title matches following them. VENYU work very well together, they seem to *get* each other. I hope to see them continue to tag more frequently (aka I hope to see VENY in TJPW more often! )"

[7.0] "This was mostly good, especialyl Mizuki and Veny but Xia was cold as hell as far as the crowd was concrned. They couldn't care less about her. The ending got no reaction and the aftermath only got one when Kamiyu spoke. It was fine, but far from necessary."

[7.0] "Decent debut for Xia, VENY and Yuki are a fun team and that entrance is legendary. Mizuki was having a lot of fun and really seemed to like her new tag partner. Xia did good and got over with the TJPW crowd, hope she comes back soon an she also has a title match against Yuki."

[5.0] "Nothing happening match. Xia Zhou makes her debut following her relase from WWE, does a muscle flex pose and then clumsily attempts some rollups. She was not able to do much of anything here, nor has she ever shown any real signs of promise in her entire career, but she looks very intent on trying her best and she was legitimately making a good effort here. Maybe she still has a future in wrestling. But, there was nothing worth seeing here at all. A random house show tag match with a debut from American TV."

[6.0] "Mizuki/VENY interactions were the most anticipated thing about this match, but they were didn't reach their full potential - classic example of 'good, but not THAT good', not even a well executed Whirling Candy was one to remember. Zhao came across who was willing to play ball instead of being a 'former WWE superstar' who thinks that she's better and more important than everyone else in the match, which was very nice to see. She pinned Kamifuku and challenger her to one of her titles, I'm curious what she can do in a singles match - the potential for a decent match is there."

[8.0] "I absolutely adore VENY and she was a big focus here. Seeing her pull off a both springboard moonsault was great. My only criticism is that Xia is really good but still a little too WWE Hollywood to thrive in a puro environment. She'll work on it I'm sure."

[7.0] "Solid if unspectacular performance for Xia Zhao's debut in TJPWHer power and strikes complemented nicely Mizuki's speed and technique, and were an interesting foil to Veny and Yuki's offense."

[7.0] "A solid and reassuring TJPW debut for Xia. I thought this match could have peaked a little higher considering both Mizuki and VENY's presence, but the spotlight was on Zhao taking aim at Kamiyu and this match did a fine job of telling that story."

[7.0] "VENYU is so cool. Xia Zhao put in a strong performance for this match with some good kicks. Xia's acting was a bit too American TV for the promotion she was in but otherwise she fit in pretty well."
