Hazuki vs. Momo Watanabe

[7.0] "This was a really cool match, I loved Momo's performance here, she's such a good heel, her work on top at the beginning was very good and she nailed her heel-work in this match, succesfully ragebaiting Hazuki which led her to an understandable crash out. After this, you coud really feel the emotion and hate behind every move they made, their exchanges were quite hard-hitting and especially Momo's execution of her moves was much more viscious each move looked like it was supposed to destroy Hazuki, My only complain is that unfortunately Hazuki's timing was off a few times and she executed some of her moves rahter poorly, but that didn't take away too much of her performance, she obviously still did really good overall."

[8.0] "The intensity in this match was just fantastic. The moment Hazuki got tired of Momo humiliating her and hit her with perhaps the loudest slap I have ever heard in a wrestling ring, they just packed so much into this 12 minute bout it was crazy. Very high impact match with a lot of story behind which completely justified how intense and hard hitting it was. Sure, that springboard into a kick spot kinda whiffed but the rest was so good I can't even fault it."

[5.0] "This was fine? Decent? Average? I didn't feel much here tbh. Felt kinda lifeless. They sold their hatred towards each other but in the ring there was much to be desired."

[5.0] "They really sold the animosity towards each other. Wrestling-wise, it was quite okay. Not a match worth seeking out per se though, but it was enjoyable to watch."

[8.0] "This could have been both better and longer but I just love both these wrestlers so much! I also really love the current Momo push; she beats Hazuki clean here and looked really strong. Both women's new gears are so cool!"

"I'm new to Stardom but have been really enjoying the ring work... however, even though both of these women can work, they felt really out of sync this time. I'm quite surprised at the high ratings for this one. The springboard/kick counter spot whiffed and about 30 seconds later, another kick was missed. Normally, a missed spot or 2 isn't that big of a deal, but with the short match time it is much more obvious... and they did the same forearm sequence twice. Hazuki also no-sold a half and half suplex which just didn't look right. Momo tried to get the momentum back after the missed spots, but it never really picked back up. Momo hit her 3 signatures in a row to end it, which I like, but even that looked a little sloppy. I really like them both, but this one wasn't it. I'd probably give it a 5."

[7.0] "A lot of wonderful sequences in this one but the psychology especially on Hazuki's part felt a touch lacking, I didn't feel the urgency to fight just the urgency to carry out the impressive spots they did carry out. In terms of action this was almost a 4 star match but there were enough shaky moments to slightly deflate it."

[6.0] "One would think that after losing her first Goddess championship to her opponent, due-to-cheating no-less, HZK would come-to-the-ring with a different energy, but it was the same-ol mild smile, look-to-the-crowd & nod. Momo appeared to out-think HZK throughout the majority of this encounter, and she-should considering HZK seems to recycle the same intentions and spots, a clear-sign of someone better suited to multi-woman or high-speed encounters. However, H has always been a very-good taker of other's offenses and the physicality & urgency was present. Yes, Momo is heavier but I don't feel it's at-all affecting her work so it's a non-issue for me. She's also a better heel than face. 3 1/4"

[7.0] "I liked this new Momo, the new attitude suits her well. Momo's striking is one of the best in Stardom and with the increased size, each kick looks more devastating than it used to be when she was QQ. Hazuki showed a more agressive side here and she got a good amount of offense in. In the end though, it was all Momo; Once, the meteoras rained, she didn't let go of her momentum and finished Hazuki with an unrelenting assault. Good match. ***1/2"

[8.0] "A match that started hot and ended hot. What I found interesting was Hazuki being forced back into the old Hazuki prior to her retirement. Yanking Momo by her hair and what not. I need more of that anger from Hazuki. ****"

[8.0] "Putting these two together for this event was pure fan service. Momo still moves with the same vitality despite her ever-increasing weight, and her kicks feel like they have something more behind them. Hazuki was able to answer back with some vigor, but I almost feel she was sucked into Momo's pacing and didn't stand out as much. It was mostly a Momo show. Still, this packed a lot of high impact action. Momo, using all of her big moves short of the Peach Thunder, felt as if she was showing Hazuki how much she had grown since their last singles encounter. The Bea Trigger with an exposed knee was a nice tribute to her former ally. ***3/4"

[9.0] "Just their best singles match. It feels like they've been feuding forever, but this is their first match where I felt chemistry between them, not just a perfect execution of moves. Perhaps their new characters are better suited specifically for their interaction. There is such and intelligent ring-work. More furious at the beginning and thoughtful at the end. It felt like they knew each other perfectly. And yes, a very convincing victory for Momo. She seems to be one of the main contenders to take the Red Belt from Syuri in the future."

[7.0] "Very enjoyable match. Not a huge fan of the start, but there was just a load of really good action. With Double Crazy over now, I really think Hazuki should be pushed. Momo is great as well. [*** 3/4]"

[8.0] "This match was a war, just what you'd expect from a match between these two. There was no filler, it was pure non stop action and very brutal at some points."

[8.0] "Great sprint from these two. I have a feeling that they will have another singles match this year that may top this one. Loved the intensity from both Momo and Hazuki. ****"

[8.0] "Momo Watanabe is my biggest disappointment for stardom in 2022, why is it destroying so much potential like this? High weight and not so interesting gimick and awful hair color. But it was a good match."

[8.0] "This was very good. Momo got the old Hazuki out after chastising her for the beginning of the match and it was awesome. They beat the hell out of each other and Momo won clean. Really good stuff ***3/4"

[6.0] "Fine short match. These girls sure got chemisrty together, so it was pretty entertaining, even considering FWC's title story is really over now. Momo's heel work is so good. ***1/4"

[8.0] "This match was every bit as heated, hard-hitting, and violent as expected. Hazuki was angry and came out with intensity immediately. Momo was ready to respond, triggering Hazuki to the point that the match got even more intense down the stretch. This match was months in the making and it fully lived up to my expectations."

[7.0] "Battle of former Queen's Quest members. Hazuki is FURIOUS and seeking revenge after what happened last night, but in spite of that, Momo Watanabe is still stronger and fucking dangerous. The match was really intense and aggressive from both sides, with the two wrestlers hitting some insane strikes, mocking each other all the time and nearly killing themselves. The final sprint was amazing and I didn't think Momo was going to win with the Peach Sunrise. Also, I thought this would have a lot of Oedo Tai's interference, I'm so fucking glad it didn't. ***3/4"
