The three women went for a series of pinfall attempts right from the start, then they moved on to some double-teaming. Kid and Nakano both had some moments when they dominated, though this match was pretty even throughout. The best part was probably Kid&#8217;s double Muta Lock on both Nakano and Shibusawa at the same time. She should have kept the hold on longer, but it was fun while it lasted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>IPW:UK Women&#8217;s Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Natsuko Tora vs Xia Brookside<\/strong> (IPW:UK Women&#8217;s 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_69e752018a8bd','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_69e752018a8bd\" 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_69e752018a8bd\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Xia Brookside wins via pinfall with a bridging inverted prawn hold after pulling Tora from the top turnbuckle<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:53<\/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. Brookside with a lot of hard strikes, and she seemed to be ahead of Tora throughout much of the match.

This was a solid match, though I never really felt like Tora was going to take the title from Brookside.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Jenny Rose &amp; Bea Priestley &amp; Kaori Yoneyama vs Momo Watanabe &amp; HZK<\/strong> (Artist Champ) <strong>&amp; Io Shirai<\/strong> (Artist, Wonder 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_69e752018a8f7','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_69e752018a8f7\" 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_69e752018a8f7\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Io Shirai pins Jenny Rose after a diving moonsault<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 10:32<\/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. Priestley and Watanabe started the match by exchanging some hard kicks, and that set a good tone for the rest of the match. Every woman had a few moments to shine. It ended up with Shirai and Rose in the ring. Rose used her power to get some early offense on Shirai, but Shirai&#8217;s tenacity, brains, and agility allowed her to quickly come back and dominate Rose in the end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Shimmer Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Jungle Kyona vs Nicole Savoy<\/strong> (Shimmer 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_69e752018a92b','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_69e752018a92b\" 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_69e752018a92b\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Nicole Savoy wins via submission with the Rings of Saturn<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 13:22<\/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. Savoy dominated the early part of this match. She was so in-control of Kyona that it seemed like Savoy didn&#8217;t take the match very seriously after a while. Kyona persevered despite the pain, and she began to mount a comeback that was rather impressive. This was a very hard fought match, and Kyona managed to win a lot of respect from Savoy (and probably a lot of fans). I really enjoyed this and would definitely watch it again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>SWA Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Miranda vs Toni Storm<\/strong> (Progress Women&#8217;s Champ, SWA Champ, World of Stardom Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki; 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_69e752018a966','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_69e752018a966\" 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_69e752018a966\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Toni Storm wins via pinfall after a piledriver<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:24<\/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 \/>\nPretty good match. I would say this was practically an exhibition for Storm. It took Miranda quite a while to get going, and even when she did get a little offense, it never felt like Storm was in trouble. This was Miranda&#8217;s last match on her tour with Stardom, so this was possibly a way for the company to thank her for her work. It was definitely her most high profile match in Stardom.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Sumire Natsu &amp; Hana Kimura<\/strong> (Goddess Champ)<strong> &amp; Kagetsu<\/strong> (Goddess Champ) <strong>vs Konami &amp; Hiromi Mimura &amp; Mayu Iwatani<\/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_69e752018a996','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_69e752018a996\" 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_69e752018a996\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kgetsu pins Hiromi Mimura after the Oedo Coaster<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 17:00<\/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 \/>\nGood match. This was Mimura&#8217;s last match in Osaka, so she became the focal point near the end of the match. The best part for me was the fight between Kagetsu and Iwatani though. They hit hard and moved very quickly against each other. Out of this entire match, what I really want to see come out of it is a singles match between Kagetsu and Mayu Iwatani.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was an entertaining show.
