Azumi refused to shake hands before the match so Arisu attacked Azumi from behind. The two girls then quickly went to work. Arisu opened with some nice strikes, then they both attempted multiple pin attempts until one of them worked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Azumi gets on the mic and tells Arisu that she&#8217;s weak. She asks the crowd to make posts on Twitter and Facebook that she beat Arisu, and if she see&#8217;s them Azumi will leave a comment and a like. Arisu tries to take the mic from Azumi, but Azumi kicks Arisu and tells her to stay down.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Kris Wolf vs Natsuko Tora<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_6a7280e408153','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_6a7280e408153\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_6a7280e408153\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kris Wolf wins via pinfall after a diving double knee drop<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:46<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. It started with a little feeling out period that consisted of trading some wrist locks, then Wolf started to take over by using the ropes to her advantage. Wolf punished Tora, but Tora survived long enough to mount a comeback with a flurry including a pair of sentons. The match ended pretty evenly with both women feeling like they could take control at any moment. I liked Wolf&#8217;s carefree attitude and arrogance up against Tora&#8217;s increasing frustration with her antics. It was an interesting matchup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Three Way Battle<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Shayna Baszler vs Viper vs Hiromi Mimura<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_6a7280e40818a','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_6a7280e40818a\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_6a7280e40818a\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Viper wins via pinfall on Hiromi Mimura after a running splash<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 5:49<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was okay. It mostly consisted of Viper and Baszler fighting while Mimura hovered around the ring and tried to attack when she could. Viper and Baszler no-sold Mimura the whole time ad eventually started using her as a weapon and a tool to try to pick up an easy win. It was kind of fun, but it also felt overly choreographed at times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Nixon Newell &amp; Kay Lee Ray vs Konami &amp; Kairi Hojo<\/strong> (Goddess of Stardom Champ, Wonder of Stardom Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_6a7280e4081bf','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_6a7280e4081bf\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_6a7280e4081bf\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Nixon Newell pins Konami after a Shining Wizard<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 9:40<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Newell and Ray attacked Hojo and Konami during the ring introductions and took the fight out to the crowd. This made it feel like Konami and Hojo were fighting an uphill battle the entire time. Both teams had some good teamwork throughout the match, but Newell and Ray just seemed to be in better unison with a better game plan. I liked the competitiveness of this one. Some of the moves looked really good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Jungle Kyona &amp; Mayu Iwatani<\/strong> (High Speed Champ) <strong>&amp; Yoko Bito<\/strong> (Goddess of Stardom Champ)<strong> vs Queen&#8217;s Quest<\/strong> (Momo Watanabe &amp; HZK &amp; Io Shirai (World of Stardom Champ)) (Artist of Stardom Champs)<br \/>\n(referee: Daichi Murayama)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_6a7280e4081f0','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_6a7280e4081f0\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_6a7280e4081f0\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: HZK pins Jungle Kyona after Atomic Bombs Away (diving seated senton)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 15:57<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. I think Io Shirai was clearly the standout in this match with her strength and poise in the ring, but everyone looked good. The first half of the match had lots of different pairings and the occasional multi-person attacks, then the second half had a lot more of a free, everyone fighting everywhere structure. Jungle Kyona seemed to take the brunt of Queen&#8217;s Quest&#8217;s attacks towards the later part of the match, and that played into the finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a good show.
