AKINO & Kaho Kobayashi vs. Hikaru Shida & Syuri

[10.0] "Here you have current Stardom main eventer Syuri teaming with AEW women's champion Shida, taking on lesser known but highly talented joshi talents AKINO and Kaho. They're facing off in the promotion OZ Academy, a joshi promotion of some note run by big 90s star Mayumi Ozaki. Speaking of the 90s, this match really brought to mind some of the best matches of 90s joshi because from the word go, it was blisteringly intense! These teams absolutely tore into each other and seemed to never stop screaming either, which certainly matched the fever pitch of the match. The offense on display here was just incredible, the way they blew each other apart with crazy strikes was to die for. I really can't stress enough how awesomely intense this was, killer match."

[10.0] "Fantastic match with great performances from everyone here: Shida and Syuri playing pissed off bullies to the babyface Kaho while AKINO acts as her protector. Loved how this match never slowed down and they still managed to ramp it up for the closing finish. I bit on all of those nearfalls."

[8.0] "Story of this match is that Kaho Kobayashi is kind of a weak link, but she's doing everything she can to keep up. AKINO played her role really well which made Kobayashi look even better. ***Ÿ"

[9.0] "This was a 15 minutes sprint match, Shida & Syuri were isolating Kaho from AKINO and outstriked her while AKINO could match their striking. Kaho tried to comeback a few time with her agility and ability to pull a roll up but felt short as Shida & Syuri were too much for her. Just a great match. (****1/4)"
