Nagisa Nozaki vs. Natsumi Showzuki

[7.0] "This match should have undoubtedly gone on for longer but there were numerous quality elements here: passionate performances from both workers; a genuine see-saw aspect; and some nice big bumps. Also, I never get bored of watching those one-legged dropkicks Nagisa does (she nails them every single time too). When thinking about the ending, I'm not often a big fan of quick/shock pins, but here this actually worked and gave Showzuki a smart little victory. Finally, my true rating of this match is 6.5 but I decided to round it up to 7 when thinking about how, even though a veteran such as Nagisa is one of the best people at ensuring everything in a match runs smooth, this is literally her and Showzuki's first ever singles match so to have the chemistry they did is impressive (and they didn't book its weakest element: the length)."

[8.0] "A really good match between two wrestlers I didn't really know anything about. They put on a really good show in the main event, and I am definitely going to be checking out more of their stuff after this."

[7.0] "I enjoyed the main event, I thought this was the first match of the tournament where the workers were wrestling with the fire and energy of workers in a big tournament where winning and losing was vital. It wasn't amazing work or anything like that, but it had passion and pace."

[6.0] "It was an ok match in which the two ladies exchanged blows, imposed a gentle pace but the fight does not last long probably due to the fact that this is their second fight on the same day and in the end Natusmi wins."

[7.0] "A great match between these two. Nagisa Nozaki decided to show out in the Grand Prix. The match looked super even as they went back and forth, but Natsumi stole the win."

[7.0] "Good main event. They had a solid back and forth, they both sold well and made this look like a real struggle. Natsumi manages to outmaneuver Nagisa for a rollup pin. 7/10"

[7.0] "Showzuki winning here was great, she's been a revelation in Marigold and having a great 2nd career. Good match here, Nozaki looks motivated too which is always great."

[6.0] "Nagisa Nozaki and Natsumi Showzuki had a really good main event match Natsumi Showzuki dictating the pace made this a fun watch."
