Momo Kohgo vs. Thekla

[6.0] "A very fun and spirited opener between Thekla and Momo Kohgo. The offense between both women was verg crisp. A fun match to kickoff the show. **3/4"

[6.0] "Both are having their first anniversary at Stardom this month and I felt some symbolism in this match, especially with Thekla's old attire. Action itself was quite strong as for opener as well."

[6.0] "I thought that this was a nice opener. Thekla's personality shined through this match and Momo's comebacks were good."

[6.0] "A cool opener. Both of these people should have quite an eventful year. I hope Momo can breakthrough from the lower midcard to a firm midcard position, she has the tools to do it."

[7.0] "An entertaining opener that gets a 7 because of Thekla going the extra mile to make fans get invested in it. The match was enjoyable as is, but Thekla really took an opportunity to showcase herself throughout it. She had extra swagger to her demeanor, tried a variety of heelish tactics to get fans on Momo's side, etc. Her mannerisms and actions made this match easier to get into and care about, even though she and Momo have very little history together. The end result was inevitable, but I really enjoyed this while it lasted."
