PURE-J 2/6/2022 Rainbow Tiger Series Vol. 2
PURE-J女子プロレス 2022年2月6日 「レインボータイガーシリーズ vol.2」
YESSSSS. Pure-J has a youtube channel now and I finally got to subbing to it. I think I've been the only western fan of it and there was absolutely no way to see it except for niconico rips and odd Samurai TV airings.
I also did sub to Ice Ribbon's channel, so expect to see that too.
Chie Ozora vs Sayaka Obihiro
They do some fast chain wrestling to start and test strength. Sayaka does a bad double running chop then stretches Chie's arms behind her back. Sayaka hair throws her then Chie walks the top rope with Sayaka's arm and armdrags her. Chie then ties her up in the ropes and and dropkicks her in the back.
Chie hits some decent dropkicks then switches to a fujiwara armbar. Chie then puts her in cattle mutilation but Sayaka rope breaks. Chie ducks karate thrusts then gets a double throat thrust. Sayaka double armbars her then takes a perfectplex for 2.
Chie top rope shoulder tacklers her but Sayaka rope breaks on the pin. Sayaka does an interesting backslide into a pin attempt then goes under her and falls back to pin her in a neat pin.
This was 8-9 minutes and not bad at all. They worked pretty fast here and Sayaka's trickery was really entertaining.
Madeline & Moeka Haruhi vs. WANTED (KAZUKI & Rydeen Hagane)
Kazuki goes to the blue team's corner to pose. Madeline then joins in on WANTED's pose. Mad line tries to test strength and gets pushed over easy. Mad drops her with a butt kick then chest kicks her while she's down. Rydeen hits hip throw then splashes her for 2.
Rydeen pops up Mad into a Kazuki knee. Mad then gets put on the 2nd rope and double knee dropped by Kaz. Mad gets put in a deep single leg crab by Kaz and Meoka breaks it. Moeka gets in and double stomps Kaz. She then camel clutches her and Mad runs around then kicks Kaz in the head while she is in it.
Moeka sells for a lariat that never gets hit in a hilarious mistake then Moeka wraps around and hurricanrana's her. Mad handspring cartwheel elbows Rydeen but then just gets run over. Rydeen hangs her up in the corner with her back showing and splashes her.
Rydeen then hits a nice spinning backbreaker. Mad grabs her arm and poses up on the top rope then drops down and does a hanging armbar. Rydeen samoan drops her and has her up for a powerbomb but Moeka stops it. Rydeen then side slam's Moeka and gets put in the christo standing octopus. Moeka springboard double stomps Rydeen's back then double stomps her off the top for 2. rydeen picks up Moeka and Mad at the same time and butt dropps them then leg lariats Moeka for 2.
Moeka gets corner lariated and running knee'd by Kazuki. Kazuki and Moeka trade knees. Meoka gets put up on the 2nd rope and Kaz drops down on her with knees, but can't push her down. Kaz takes a 2v1 then Mad is thrown into the ropes by Moeka for crossbodies. Moeka crossbodies Kaz off the top for 2. Mad puts Kaz in the calf crusher which gets broken up then Mad sunset flips her off the top for 2.
Meoka does a super nice clutching pinning hold and Mad helps out with it but they get only 2. Moeka and Mad both take vader bomb variations for 2 then Kaz hits a TKO on Mad for a close 2. Kaz hits a meteora but Moeka breaks it up. Kaz then oddly wins by hitting double knees to the back of a seated Madeline.
This was 16 minutes long and action packed. Moeka and Mad probably should have sold more and Mad's offense really does look super weak. However the crowd was into this and I thought it was a decent match.
Princess Of Pro Wrestling Title Match - AKARI (c) vs. Momo Tani
Momo rushes Akari with a dropkick then some running knees. Akari hits a nice armdrag then dropkicks her while she is kneeling. Momo gets her head banged off the buckle then throws Akari around before pushing on her head with her foot. Momo puts her in a one arm strangehold while in the camel clutch position but Akari rope breaks.
Momo does some arm throws and does a double knee drop for 2. She his some hard chest forearms then gets a hanging stranglehold in the corner. Momo double kneedrops Akari's back then ties her up in the ropes and hits double knees. They trade forearms at 5 minutes with both getting some good shots in. Momo then drops double knees on Akari's back for 2. Momo rolls on the mat to escape submissions then strangeholds her.
Akari top rope dropkicks her for 2. Akari has her head on the bottom rope and Momo dives through the ropes with a hard double knee, then she meteora's her from the top. Momo hits a spinning neckbreaker then hits two vader bomb double knees. Momo misses from up top and Akari hits some jumping kicks for 2.
Akari 619's Momo then suplexes her for 2 at 10 minutes. Momo drops double knees from the top for 2. Akari trips Momo and puts her in a nice pinning clutch then Momo hurricanrana's her for a close 2. Akari lariats her twice then hits a death valley driver for the win.
This was good match. The pace was fast and Momo really had some good looking offense. This was stiff, they had a nice nearfall near the end and the crowd was into it. Good stuff here.
Ayako Sato & Hanako Nakamori vs. Arisa Nakajima & Kaoru Ito
Hanako is the only Pure-J girl here as Ayako and Ito are essentially Diana girls and Arisa is from Seadlinnng. Ito's really big these days and doesn't look good at all. Momo and Sato are both wearing similar black outfits.
Ito double armdrags Hanako then Hanako tries some kicks which does nothing to Ito. Hana and Sato double dropkick her then Ito lariats Hanako in the corner. Ito sits on Hanako controlling her and Sato has a hard time breaking it up. Arisa finally gets in and she and Hanako throw each other.
They trade shots and Arisa dropkicks her then sits on her chest for a pin attempt. Arisa then hits a deep Fujiwara armbar which Hanako ropebreaks for. Hanako lay back lariats her and tags to Sato who gets a great dropkick and some gut kicks (she does them quite well too). Arisa hits a nice facekick to a downed Sato then Ito uranage's Sato hard.
Ito drops some double stomps on Sato. Sato and Arisa end up slapping each other then hits a nice jumping knee. They trade forearms. Arisa hits some knees on Sato and a nice head stomp then gets shotgun dropkicked hard. Sato then northern lights suplexes her for 2. Arisa hits a nice fallaway slam/suplex.
Sato and Ito go at it and Ito hits a big exploder on Sato, which almost sends her out of the ring. Hanako flurry kicks Ito in the back then PK's her. Ito hits a powerful suplex then Hanako hits two hard high kicks on Ito. Ito gets double suplexed then Hanako drops a top rope knee to a standing Ito's head. Hanako enzugiri's her then Ito stands on her and drops a painful looking senton on her.
Ito double dropkicks both opponents from the inside then Hanako takes a dropkick/powerbomb combo. Arisa top rope dropkicks Hanako and straight jacket german's her for 2 at 15 minutes. Hanako suplexes Arisa off the 2nd rope then Sato top rope splashes her. Hanako then hits a shining wizard on Arisa for 2.

This was a great match. Everything Hanako, Sato and Arisa did looked good. They went at a very fast pace with tons of stiff moves and the crowd was really into it. This is what joshi is all about here.
Overall thoughts: Really good show. The crowd was hot and the action was fast paced and stiff. I thought all 4 matches were good with the main being one of the better matches of the year so far. Definitely worth checking out.
