Ami Sourei vs. Kikyo Furusawa

[7.0] "Despite Kikyo still being an inexperienced wrestler she fought a great battle here, obviously Sourei did some heavy lifting here but Furusawa impresses from match to match. ***, 5"

[6.0] "Quite enjoyed this style of match. They kept the offence and moves quite simple, and focused on the drama of whether Kikyo would be able to pick up her first win, or whether Ami would be able to keep herself in strong contention for getting out of the group - albeit with 2 huge opponents infront of her. Ami picks up the win in the end, but it really felt like it could have gone either way, especially when Kikyo had that ankle lock cinched in. This was a really enjoyable bout without having to go over the top."

[6.0] "Ami controls the first half, Kikyo gets a lot after that. Ami sold the leg work from Kikyo well. Solid match, despite not getting much time."

[6.0] "A decent tournament match that brought the card back to a more stable level. The action was reasonably consistent and there were some enjoyable exchanges, although the match never developed enough intensity or drama to become a major highlight."

[6.0] "Furusawa and Sourei is the same match as Rian and HANAKO except Ami's more polished and Kikyo has relatively traditional offense. They even got bungled up on a rainmaker just like Rian messed up a running knee. Instead of trying to capitalize on Sourei's mistakes with counters and high-flying Kikyo angles for targeting her knee and putting on the ankle lock. Simple straight-forward big vs. small match."

[7.0] "A nice match-up with Kikyo's technical wrestling getting a showcase. A couple of nice power moves by Ami."
