Akari hits a lariat for 2.

They trade knees and argue wiht Leon. Leon chases around Akari and Akari hides behind Kazuki. She gets hit over the head by Leon and Kazuki rolls her up for the win.

This was mostly all comedy and without knowing the language, it was a lot less amusing.

Momo Tani vs Crea

Momo puts her in a grounded guillotine and then they trade mounted shots. They hit som nice chest forearms and Crea shoulders her down. Crea puts her in the indian deathlock then foot chokes her over the ropes. Crea ties her up in the ropes and dropkicks her in the back.

Momo does a half heavenly lock then chokes her with her foot more. Momo drops double knees on her then Crea hits machine gun chops. Momo drops more knees on Crea's back and they trade hard chest forearms. Crea then kicks her in the chest for 2.

Momo drops more double knees and more shots are traded. Crea hits a top rope dropkick for 2 then misses another one. Momo running knees her in the head then drops more knees on her. Crea kneebreakers her over her knee then ankle locks her.

They both go down and then trade pinfall attempts. Momo double knees her through the ropes then knee drops her for 2. Momo drops double knees off the 2nd rope on her and wins it.

This was alright with a lot of knees dropped. I liked the early parts of this more than the last part. These two worked pretty well together and their styles match-up nicely. I could see them doing a really strong match someday if they get enough time.

Chie flurries elbows on Rydeen to start then is body blocked. Rydeen splashes her then gets monkey flipped. Rydeen then takes a double team from both and slams Chie. Hanako hits Chie with some kicks and tries to run up the buckles but is pulled back down. Chie then wlaks the top rope and armdrags her.

Leon gets a high kick then Chie gets a shining high kick for the Hanako and Rydeen win.

This wasn't a bad main event. A little too many kickouts here but the finishing stretch was nice. I thought they did a good job putting Chie over as equal but I would have liked more Leon and Hanako sections and I thought they could have done more of Chie getting beaten up and Leon making the hot tag in.

Overall thoughts: The comedy match wasn't good but the other two matches were solid matches. I think Momo and Crea have a real good one in them one of these days.
