Asahi then did her own pose after and laughed.

This went too long and the finish was random. I thought they worked well together and Rina and Nao showed some chemistry. Asahi looked like the best wrestler here and seems to be on the right track.

Tsukushi talks on the mic after and calls over Saran whos is still crying. Saran gets on the mic and is still crying. Tsukushi loves it then everyone comes in to close out the show.

Good main event. How can you not feel for poor Saran crying in there eh? She did a good job in the match here though obviously still has some things to work in. Tsukushi and Tsuka looked like a well oiled machine that knew what it was doing before it was even told what to do.

Overall thoughts: A fun little show as usual. The main was good and I liked Totoro vs Yuko. The main was emotional and quite the sight.
