The pace was high the entire time and it was difficult to tell who was going to win. That kept things pretty exciting. There did seem to be a thing between Kyona and Savoy. Kyona was staring at Savoy before the match, and after the match she was very aggressive with Savoy. I liked that as buildup to their match later on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Sumire Natsu 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_69e7523f92b1a','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_69e7523f92b1a\" 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_69e7523f92b1a\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Hiromi Mimura wins via DQ when Sumire attacks the referee<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:10<\/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 \/>\nDespite taking quite a beating, this was a good match for Mimura.

The first part was mostly Kimura fighting Nakano and Kagetsu fighting Iwatani. After a while, Nakano was in the ring for a long time, and she ended up facing Kasgetsu. Nakano was definitely the focus of this match, and it makes sense given the story going into it. Nakano fought well, but she still has an uphill battle against her former friends in Oedo Tai.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Meiko Satomura vs Toni Storm<\/strong> (World of Stardom Champ, SWA Champ, Progress Women&#8217;s 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_69e7523f92bd5','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_69e7523f92bd5\" 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_69e7523f92bd5\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: the match ends in a Time Limit Draw<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 20:00<\/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 \/>\nVery good match. This one built from a place of respect and competition to a fight to get in the last big move (or succession of big moves). There was a decently long feeling-out process followed by a gadual buildup of holds and submissions. The match was very grounded throughout, though there were some moments where they would stand and throw strikes. I liked this quite a lot. It&#8217;s a treat to watch Satomura, and Storm looked very good up against her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Meiko Satomura tells Toni Storm that this is the kind of match she wanted. Also, Satomura would like to do it one more time. With that, both women leave the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Mayu Iwatani heads to the ring and asks Toni Storm to come back. Iwatani says she couldn&#8217;t win the tag titles tonight, and now she wants the red belt back. Iwatani challenges Toni Storm for the World of Stardom title on April first in Nagoya. Storm accepts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Wonder of Stardom Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Momo Watanabe vs Io Shirai<\/strong> (Wonder, Artist Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Daichi Murayama; title match official: Rossy Ogawa)<\/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_69e7523f92c32','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_69e7523f92c32\" 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_69e7523f92c32\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Io Shirai wins via pinfall after a top-rope moonsault<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 16:59<\/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 \/>\nVery good match. Watanabe started quickly, and though Shirai was able to fend off Watanabe&#8217;s initial assault, Watanabe spiked Shirai with a tornado DDT early in the match that looked like it really hurt. Shirai didn&#8217;t move for a while, and when she did start moving it was mostly just to keep away from Watanabe. It was unclear how real the pain was since the referee kept going back to check on Shirai multiple times. The match continued though, and that DDT allowed Watanabe to dominate most of the match. This was a very strong showing for Watanbe, something think was needed if she really is being groomed to be one of the top wrestlers of the next generation. Later in the match, Shirai was in top form, but this match defnintely made a point that Watanabe is someone to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a good show. It had a little of everything, and the matches varied nicely in style (and quality).
