KAZUKI vs Kaori Yoneyama

There's a 3 foot tree in the middle of the ring here. Kazuki and Yone try to lock up around it. Later, Yone throws Kaz into the ropes then uses the tree as a hsield. Yone octopus stretches her and poses. Then she ties her up in the ropes and pulls her nose then Kaz does it back to her later.

Yone basement dropkicks her then sentons her for 2. Yone gets a codebreaker and Kaz tries to dropkick her into the tree but ends up just getting the tree. Kaz hits some strikes on Yone and she backs up into the tree, knocking it over and seemingly loses the match.

This was a weird one and really didn't accomplish much of anything. It wasn't too funny and they barely did anything before the tree fell over. I don't think the tree was supposed to fall over when it did, but that's more on the company than the wrestlers.

Leon does a hard spinning rack slam on her then texas cloverleafs her. Leon goes up top and misses a dropkick and Momo tries some pin attempts. Momo runs into a spin kick then gets speared for 2. Leon then frogsplashes her for the win.

It was a couple of minutes too long but it was good with Momo showing some fire here and definitely a litle underdog vs veteran stuff at play here.

Crea does a nice roll through into an ankle lock on Moeka and Akari breaks it up. Akari northern lights suplexes Crea then Moeka double stomps Crea off the 2nd rope for 2.

Moeka and Akari take a double clothesline from Rydeen then Moeka takes a reverse brazilian kick and a german from Crea for 2. Crea then rotation splashes Moeka from the top for 2 and they trade pin attempts. Moeka does a real nice rolling pin clutch and wins it.

This wasn't bad but it could have been a little better. It could have gone longer and some of the submission attempts kind of hurt the flow here.

This was a good one. They went around 20 minutes. It was stiff, they were heated with each other and they kept it moving. It was what you would expect and exactly what you would hope for from these girls. 

Overall thoughts: The main was real good and I liked 3 of the 4 matches here. It could have been better, but this was a good effort by Pure-J and I liked it.
