KAZUKI vs Hanako Nakamori

They have some unusual rules here where the wrestlers have to wrestle in full clothing. Leon also gets to punish them for saying doing poses while shouting to the crowd. Kazuki is wearing a wig, a dress and a hat nad Hanako is is wearing a cheetag t-shirt and a dress with fishnets.

They talk in some goofy voices to start and bow to each other. The footage literally stops for a minute and Hanako lights up Kazuki with kicks. Leon hits Hanako for this and Kazuki loses her wig.

They try to pin each other but keep getting punished. Leon hits Kaz on accident then Kaz hits her back and Hanako hits Leon too. Leon fights back and fights off a 2v1 wit ha spear on Kaz, which leads to the Hanako pin.

If I understood Japanese at a higher level, maybe this would have been better, but it's a tough one to watch without it. This was all comedy and 100% distracted from any match they were having.

Overall thoughts: 2 of the 3 matches were okay with the main being full-on comedy. The tag match was good with fast stiff work.
