Shoot.\u00a0 Jackknife Hold by Fujimoto and she gets the three count!\u00a0 A few little miscues here and there but not a bad match.\u00a0 They kept it short so there was no downtime, which kept it interesting.\u00a0 Not a bad way to start the show off.[spacer height=&#8221;20px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chikayo Nagashima and Rina Yamashita vs. Mitsuhisa Sunabe and Yuu Yamagata<\/strong><br \/>\nSunabe gets attacked to start the match and he is hit with a double suplex.\u00a0 Yamashita rakes at Sunabe\u2019s face and clubs him in the chest, but Sunabe dropkicks her in the face and tags in Yamagata.\u00a0 Nagashima is also tagged in and they trade boots, spinning headscissors by Nagashima but Yamagata hits a hurricanrana.\u00a0 Yamagata kicks Nagashima in the head and she tags in Sunabe.\u00a0 Sunabe hits a PK on Nagashima and he hits a second one, cover by Sunabe but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Sunabe chokes Nagashima with his boot but Nagashima applies an armbar over the top rope.\u00a0 Nagashima stomps on Sunabe\u2019s hands and she hits a suplex for a two count.\u00a0 Nagashima tags in Yamashita and Yamashita lariats Sunabe.\u00a0 Another lariat by Yamashita and she

it with a jawbreaker.\u00a0 Shining Wizard by Sunabe to Yamashita, and Yamagata hits a La Ayakita to pick up the three count!\u00a0 I liked that Sunabe just seamlessly was in this match, he was the only male but it didn\u2019t make any difference in regards to the action.\u00a0 This was solid, again it was smart to not keep this match too long.\u00a0 This event is swimming along just fine but nothing too exciting yet.\u00a0 <strong><span style=\"color: #009900;\"><em>Mildly Recommended[spacer height=&#8221;20px&#8221;]<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cherry vs. Mei Lee vs. Miyako Matsumoto<\/strong><br \/>\nThey talk and dance a bit to start, I have no idea if this is part of the official match or not.\u00a0 Matsumoto is attacked by both, she goes for a crossbody but Cherry and Lee catch her.\u00a0 Stomps by Cherry and Lee but Cherry schoolboys Lee for two.\u00a0 They do some strike exchanges with Cherry getting the better of it, then they do some weird stuff that confuses me.\u00a0 Matsumoto clubs at Lee and with Cherry they hit a double elbow drop.\u00a0 Cherry gives Lee a rocking horse, which rocks Lee into Matsumoto\u2019s ass.\u00a0 The referee is accidentally hit in the groin but he recovers, Matsumoto goes up top and with Lee\u2019s help she poses before hitting a body press for two.\u00a0 Lee and Matsumoto have a shoving match then end up dancing around but Cherry covers both of them and gets the three count.\u00a0 This wasn\u2019t good comedy or good anything.\u00a0 I am sure this appeals to someone (I assume) but that someone is not me.\u00a0 The definition of a skippable match.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/puroresucentral.com\/gif\/oz5.10b-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\"

\/>\nThis match is part of the Catch The Wave 2015 Tournament.\u00a0 They both go for hip attacks to start, hurricanrana by Shida and she hits a hip attack, getting a quick two count.\u00a0 Kana ducks an enzigieri but Shida hits a running knee for a two count.\u00a0 Falcon Arrow by Shida but Kana flips it over into a cross armbreaker.\u00a0 Shida rolls out of the ring to break the hold, and they trade elbows outside the ring.\u00a0 Kana throws Shida into the crowd but they return to the ring, they go to the mat as Shida goes for Kana\u2019s arm, but Kana gets out of it.\u00a0 Kana gets the

and hits a sliding kick.\u00a0 Kana returns to the ring with Shida slowly following, Kana wraps up Shida on the mat but Shida gets to the ropes.\u00a0 Kick to the chest by Kana and she applies a short armbar into a cross armbreaker, but Shida gets to the ropes.\u00a0 Kicks to the back by Kana and she goes for Shida\u2019s arm before applying an arm trap crossface.\u00a0 Cross armbreaker by Kana but Shida gets to the ropes.\u00a0 Kana charges Shida but Shida rolls her to the met and applies a single leg crab hold, but Kana gets to the ropes.\u00a0 Kana kicks Shida in the chest but Kana hits a reverse DDT.\u00a0 Urakens by Kana and she hits a high kick for two.<\/p>\n<p>Kana goes up top but Shida recovers and joins her. \u00a0Kana slips out to the apron but Shida suplexes her over the top rope and back into the ring for a two count.\u00a0 They both get up and Shida hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.\u00a0 Another backbreaker by Shida but Kana gets away and goes for Shida\u2019s arm.\u00a0 Shida reverses that into a Stretch Muffler but Kana gets to the ropes, Shida charges Kana but Kana kicks her.\u00a0 Kana goes for a sliding kick but Shida catches her leg.\u00a0 Shida goes

but Kana gets a shoulder up on the pin.\u00a0 Shida picks up Kana but Kana hits a heel kick for two.\u00a0 Small package by Shida and she hits another Three Count, but the bell rings as the match is a Draw. So yes I loved this match.\u00a0 I like Kana regardless but here she was back to her old self, not just playing around in a mid-card tag match.\u00a0\u00a0 The strikes and submissions by both were super smooth aside from one messed up spot, and they were both on point throughout.\u00a0 It really felt like the match could end at any time since both had convincing submission\/pinfall situations, and since it was a tournament the draw isn\u2019t a bad deal.\u00a0 This match should be the main event, not on the mid-card, it was everything I was hoping it would be.\u00a0 I won\u2019t say it was perfect, some small transition issues here and there, but if you\u2019re a fan of either wrestler or joshi in general I definitely advise you to go watch it.\u00a0 <strong><span style=\"color:

brainbuster.\u00a0 Iida barely kicks out of the pin but Ohka hits a final big boot, getting the three count.\u00a0 I am glad this one didn&#8217;t go too long as Ohka is a bit limited.\u00a0 They just went to the sprint with Ohka just having too many big moves for the smaller Iida.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t call it good but it was short enough that it wasn\u2019t offensive.[spacer

Nipponbashi match and I\u2019m not in the mood, but here we go anyway.\u00a0 At least I do like Mizunami and Kato.\u00a0 Kato and Nipponbashi start off but Kato hits the Harite for the three count!\u00a0 Hooray this match was short!<\/p>\n<p>Wait no they are re-starting it.\u00a0 Damn.\u00a0 Kato and Hirota are the first two legal wrestlers, wristlock by Kato and she kicks Hirota in the arm.\u00a0 Mizunami comes in to help, as if Kato needed it, and they take turns hitting leg drops on Hirota.\u00a0 Kato tags in Mizunami and Mizunami hits a shoulderblock.\u00a0 Another shoulderblock by Mizunami, Irish whip by Mizunami but Hirota avoids her charge.\u00a0 Scoop slam by Hirota and she tags in Nipponbashi.\u00a0 Kato tags in too and Nipponbashi dances around.\u00a0 She seems more confused than usual.\u00a0 Kato uppercuts Nipponbashi but Hirota breaks up the pin.\u00a0 Kato Irish whips Nipponbashi but Nipponbashi gets her wand.\u00a0 Nothing happens for a bit until Nipponbashi uses the wand on Mizunami and Hirota.\u00a0 Kato just stands there, they try again with the same result.\u00a0 Nipponbashi yells at Kato, she gets the wand again and tells everyone to try again.\u00a0 Finally Kato is impacted by the wand and everyone celebrates, cover by Nipponbashi but Mizunami breaks it up.\u00a0 Hirota grabs Kato\u2019s arm, she goes up to the ropes and walks them, but she trips and falls.\u00a0 Drop toehold by Hirota, she wraps up Kato in the ropes and she puts Mizunami in the ropes on the other side.\u00a0 Oil Check by Hirota to both, Kato and Mizunami get on the mat but they avoid Nipponbashi and Hirota\u2019s body press.\u00a0 Mizunami spears both of them, Kato goes up top and she hits a cannonball.\u00a0 Kato picks up Hirota, but they do a kiss\/wand combination as Hirota rolls up Kato for a two count.\u00a0 Mizunami spears Hirota and Kato knocks her loopy with a heel kick, but Hirota lands on top of Kato for the three count!\u00a0 What hurt this one to a degree is I just watched a match with the same formula on the previous show, but done better.\u00a0 Nipponbashi\u2019s act is best for me in small doses and a match this long doesn\u2019t qualify as \u2018small\u2019.\u00a0 Kato was great but nothing else was entertaining.[spacer height=&#8221;20px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ayako Hamada, Kagetsu, and Kaho Kobayashi vs. Tsubasa Kuragaki, Misaki

Cover, but Ohata breaks it up.<\/p>\n<p>Shirai is slid her plastic stick and she hits Hamada with it, enzigieri by Shirai but Kobayashi breaks up the pin. Shirai tags in Kuragaki, Kuragaki lariats Hamada in the back and then again while she is against the ropes before dropping her with a backdrop suplex. Cover, but Hamada gets a cover up.

Ohata picks up Kagetsu and hits the Fisherman Buster, but Kagetsu barely gets a shoulder up. Ohata drags Kagetsu to her feet, and she nails the Blue Dahlia\u00a0for the three count! This was a really fun main event. It was just constant action, wrestlers were always running in to help their teammates and there were several really good extended double teaming sections that really got me on the edge of my seat. For a match that went twenty minutes it never slowed down and it never felt excessive either. Perfect way to end the show as every wrestler got a chance to shine, really loving everyone in this match. Great stuff here.<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Recommended<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/puroresucentral.com\/gif\/oz5.10b-8.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"230\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/puroresucentral.com\/gif\/oz5.10b-9.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"230\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/puroresucentral.com\/gif\/oz5.10b-10.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"230\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/puroresucentral.com\/gif\/oz5.10b-11.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"230\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Final Thoughts:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a lot of ways this event was quite different than the one that went on just a few hours earlier. The main event was much better on this event, but the other overall felt more entertaining as this one spread out the wrestlers I don&#8217;t really enjoy into different matches. Both had really fun Kana matches though so that is a big plus. As a package I can honestly recommend both events, and this one is an easy recommendation thanks to the Kana\/Shida match and the main event, even though I didn&#8217;t really enjoy several of the matches.
