Mei Seira vs. Saya Iida

[8.0] "Wanted to give this a 9 and probably would've if they went for even just 3 more minutes. The action was consistent and the final sequences are fucking insane. Book these two in a normal singles match on a non-tournament show and they will tear the goddamn house down."

[9.0] "There is just something about watching two INSANELY TALENTED women going at it at enormous pace for 10 minutes. I was just blown away watching these two, Seira is someone who can pull out an all timer with literally anyone while Iida is powerhouse beast who'll match anyone so this pairing was just made for each other. No joking but i would totally see them main eventing ASGQ in the future for a Red belt in a 30+ minute classic like let's be real that would be an ALL TIMER! Coming back to this bout, the finishing stretch was awesome and that finisher from Mei was so beautiful. ****, 5"

[6.0] "Some nice interactions saved it all in my eyes, but in general I didn't feel any chemistry between Saya and Mei, so I couldn't enjoy the action when they did something standard for their matches."

[5.0] "Not very good. Honestly, I'm getting a little tired of Stardom matches that start out as if the wrestlers are just playing around and don't take what they're doing seriously, laughing and joking with each other, only for some internal switch to suddenly flip and turn the match into nonstop action all the way to the finish (**3/4)."

[7.0] "a very good match with great chops from saya. mei had some good strikes too. the chemistry between these two was a bit off to me, but it was still a good match."

[8.0] "Started out as quite a light match, with the chop stuff and Mei running away from Saya on the outside, with Mei just repeatedly hitting baseball slides to stop Saya getting in, but then once they got back into the ring it turned into a really hard hitting affair, with a fantastic and energy and pace to it. The stakes to this match were incredibly high, with it being Saya's last match it was her last opportunity to get a win and secure her place in the next round, whereas a win for Mei was necessary to keep her hopes alive. Some of the chops, lariats, and dropkicks from both competitors were stellar, and made it a really intense affair, and then the crucifix driver for the finish looked great. Awesome, awesome match."

[8.0] "It's fun, it's light-hearted at times, but it's also a great pro wrestling match. Mei and Iida have wonderful chemistry."

[8.0] "An excellent tournament match and one of the clear highlights of the entire show. The intensity, chemistry, pacing, and quality of the exchanges all came together extremely well. It felt like a genuinely important match and delivered a major boost to the card."

[9.0] "Speed and power matchup here is so damn good, and since Iida is bringing that power in a small frame Mei can lay her strikes in and have them work instead of being no-sold by a giant. Turning the match into Mei Seira running for her life to avoid chops gave it some nice comedy to go along with all the crazy heavy chops Iida was gonna hit in this match anyway. Once the comedy was done it became one of coolest matches for mixing styles, Mei was getting blasted all over the ring but Saya Iida was also bumping her ass off what a sick match."

[8.0] "This had an excellent final few minutes and these two could probably have an all-time great match, but the early parts were bit too much focused on silliness (which I'm usually fine with, but this high stakes match didn't need it)"
