2 | 18.02.2025 | FelipeTalksGraps | 7.0 | [3.5*] Great match. I just do not get why people hate Saori so much, she is incredible. The match started off pretty well and the ending stretch was excellent, with a lot of nearfalls and bumps. I just think the match was kinda short, but besides that, I liked everything. I understand why people may dislike the result, tho. |

Great facial expressions by both throughout the match. Something was missing for me to hit that next gear, but strong match overall. [***3/4] |

24 | 27.07.2024 | boymeetsworld | 5.0 | Both wrestlers looked like they wanted to give 200% in this match, but both ended up being exposed as career mid-carders, after all there's a reason why Iwata has been stuck at a certain level for years, and Anou won a singles STARDOM title when the promotion is in major flux. Every time they got a little bit of momentum going, they were speedrunning to lose it - so many strikes and kicks looked soft and underwhelming that it's actually funny, they structured a hard-hitting match while trying to hit each other as little as possible. Finishing stretch didn't hook the crowd, very few cared about Anou hitting Natsupoi and Nakano's big moves. Anou tried to get over as a sympathetic babyface who was tough enough to take a beating (and of course kicked out at one shortly before the finish), but she's not a good underdog. There will be better days in Joshi Puro, although the future looks very bleak. |

32 | 20.07.2024 | aguakun | 7.0 | This may have surpassed the Stardom match in terms of emotion and stakes, but content-wise, it wasn't quite as compelling and advanced. Saori Anou spent most of the time working underneath, battered and exhausted, with Mika Iwata controlling much of the match. While Mika Iwata certainly delivered one of her stronger performances, especially with her body language and facial expressions, the overall development felt rather generic. The ending, with Saori Anou's comeback story, was an emotional high and a climactic moment, but as a whole, this didn't reach the brilliance of their Stardom match. |
33 | 20.07.2024 | Fifth Pillar | 6.0 | This ended up feeling strangely one-sided on the home stretch. You could feel the hate and they clearly knocked the shit out of each other, but the focused arm work went nowhere and I wish the entire international pro wrestling community could reach an agreement to ditch the fighting spirit one-count ***1/4 |

45 | 18.07.2024 | Lawrence30pss | | It was an interesting match but it could have been better, it didn't last as long as it should have, it lacked more tension at the end where Saori only executed her main moves until Mika kicked out afterwards and then was finally pinned. |
46 | 18.07.2024 | YuyaTheBaldBitch | | Both are talented women so the match was alright, it wasn't too long either so it's a nice change but seeing the result you have to wonder what was the point of all this, the story feels weak and Mika Iwata gets 2 worthless reigns. *** |

48 | 18.07.2024 | Figure4Dragon | 8.0 | You simply cannot go wrong having Saori and Mika face off. Seriously, the way they manage to keep the continuity flowing in their callbacks to their previous work is outstanding. A neatly compact bout with no excessiveness being done that would make it feel bloated, and once again, they bring out the intensity. A GOOD entry in their series of matches. **** |
49 | 18.07.2024 | ChocoboSage | 8.0 | Great match, but I feel bad for Mika Iwata in this. Hasn't had a great run as Sendai Girls champion, and then loses it along with the White Belt without a successful defence. A shame really, Not sure what the thinking was there, when Natsupoi has been waiting to challenge for months. Hopefully Mika Iwata bounces back and gets something out of this. I can see Saori losing the Sendai Title to DASH or Meiko in the near future. |

56 | 17.07.2024 | somerandommark | 10.0 | HELL YEAH SAORI! I loved this whole story, with Iwata waking up the fire in Saori, and I've gotta say I felt it here! From those wild slaps that I think busted Iwata's cheek (badass visual btw), to the shoot Headbutt (! ), and finally hitting Poi's Fairial Gift + Tam's Twilight Dream... I loved everything about her performance here. Her facial expressions were on point the whole time, steely and cold but also deeply fiery and passionate. And the look she gave Poi when she needed that pick me up... beuatiful storytelling! Iwata was great too, bringing speed and intensity, as well as here stiffff strikes. I mean, you could see welts forming on Saori's back almost immediately. I loved how tense this was, each and every near fall absolutely got me... an excellent main event! I hope this is a sign of further cooperation between Senjo + Stardom (with Manami in the 5* I'm hopeful), coz this was a really fun time to be following both companies! |

61 | 16.07.2024 | Some Guy | 8.0 | Very good match. This was better than their previous encounter in Stardom where Iwata won the Wonder title from Saori. This rematch for some reason was for both that and the Senjo title. This was definitely more of an Iwata match than a Saori one, which meant a much quicker pace and that was sorely needed. Iwata's kicks combined with Saori's selling made this enjoyable to watch. A lot of the exchanges they had were great and there were some well done near falls that kept you guessing who was going to win. The last minute or so could have been better as it's just Saori hitting various finishers and Iwata kicking out to look strong before finally getting pinned. While the match itself is good, it's terrible booking. Saori winning back the Wonder title makes sense, but to have Iwata drop the Senjo title along with it is just dumb. Iwata deserves better. I'm only going to score the match itself, if the booking factored in this would be much lower. 8/10 |

72 | 16.07.2024 | Suzukigun | 8.0 | A very good match with a lot to like, sans the booking. The build to this match was quality, and done nicely in recent weeks on Stardom shows. The match had some great moments, was heated as hoped and was perfectly paced. The problem is the result, because it left a lot on the table and made Mika look like a geek. Match quality wise, it's at least an 8. Booking wise, it's a 5, maybe a 6 at best, but probably less than that for Senjo fans. |

83 | 15.07.2024 | Chris | 8.0 | A very good main event. This is the first time I have seen Mika Iwata but I thought she did great, especially her tough looking kicks. Anou was good as usual, I really like her selling and her suplexes but her kicks looked a little weak in comparison to Iwata **** |
84 | 15.07.2024 | jhuanherbas | 9.0 | Wow, this was so brutal it left me without words. Amazing match, so much intensity from these 2 ladies. Phenomenal. |
85 | 15.07.2024 | Kyle from TheMatchGuide | 6.0 | First off, a double title match? Cmon man, Anou does not need the Sendai Girls title, and Mika continues to get screwed when it comes to holding belts. I had no problem with her losing the White belt, but everything? Well, whatever, hopefully Natsupoi takes the White Belt so Anou can focus on actually DEFENDING the Senjo belt. Anyways: The match is solid. I liked Mikia's performance in particular, and Saori not so much. The arm work is random, and Anou drops it completely 2 minutes later despite selling it really well for those couple of minutes. They go a little heavy on the near falls at the end too. 3+ Stars. |
86 | 15.07.2024 | PEW565 | 8.0 | A great match between Mika Iwata and Saori Anou as expected. This was exactly what you'd expect from these two |
87 | 15.07.2024 | ParagraphText | 9.0 | Very good match. Very high Tension and worked exceptionally tightly. The matches premise starts off with Mika attempting to get early strikes that Wrestle control away from Anou so she can straight beat her into the ground like she did in the Wonder title match last month. Saori for her part is trying to get control in her court so that she can do the opposite. Both women are exceptional fighters who are fighting their hearts out over those titles. This match really showcases the emotions of Saori her selling and her ability to turn the room and the nature of the match with a small turn of her mouth. Every single moment in this match is measured and executed pretty much perfectly. The action is tight, dramatic, but never slow. Everything feel perfectly paced, besides two pretty goofy looking whiffs from Mika (one of which Saori sold anyway), this match is an excellent display. The finish is worked for and Mika looks like she's struggling to rally when Anou gets her on her feet into a straightjacket position and hits Mika with Natsupoi's finish. In the end, the match had to have Poi's heart to win the day. Great storytelling here and a generally great match. |
