AKARI vs KAZUKI

Bolshoi is the ref and she gets to hit people when they do something here. Kaz gets hit by Bolshoi early and foot chokes her, then Akari does it back. Akari hits a dropkick then Bolshoi hits her but Kaz comes back with a double stomp. Kaz puts her in a crab and grabs Akari's hair while she does it. Akari goes up top to choke her but is pulled down then ties her legs up.

Kaz tries to do her taunt and gets hit by Bolshoi, then Akari does something similar and gets hit. Akari dropkicks her from the 2nd rope then takes a knee. Kaz hits some knees to the gut and says something then is hit by Bolshoi. Kaz rushes her with double knees in the corner then vader bomb drops double knees on her. Bolshoi hits her for it the 2nd and 3rd times then hits her a few more times.

Bolshoi chases her around the ring then Kaz gets hit and falls over Akari. Akari then rolls her up for the pin.

I felt like I saw this already and it's because I basically did - they had the same match on 2/20 with Leon as the ref instead. I didn't like that either as it's comedy and if you don't know Japanese, it doesn't make much sense.

Crea vs Rydeen Hagane

They shoulder battle to start which Rydeen wins. Rydeen then crabs her and butt drops her back. Rydeen then splashes her for 2. Crea comes back with machine gun chops and gets put in a reverse tree of woe for a Rydeen splash. Crea hits some nice face kicks then rolls her into an armbar.

Rydeen spins her into a side backbreaker then vader bombs her back for 2. Crea then hits a top rope dropkick for 2. Rydeen hits a nice spin kick then vader bombs her for 2. Crea tries some roll-ups and chokes her with the inside of her leg. rea then northern lights suplexes her and does a twisting splash off the top rope for 2.

Crea hits a reverse question mark kick and a german for 2. She takes a lariat and a sliding lariat for 2. Rydeen puts her on her shoulder, spins her and drops her for the win.

This was a good one. Crea was real stiff and fiery here and Rydeen did her usual big girl stuff with a nice david vs goliath theme.

Leon and Hanako Nakamori vs AKARI and Momo Tani

Hanako and Leon get stacked in the corner and splashed on then they come back with double kicks to the chest. Akari pops up Momo for a double knee drop on Hana. Hana then comes back with a kick to Akari's head. Leon and Akari pick up the pace and hit armdrags then Momo gets in and drops double knees on Leon's back. Hana then holds up Momo and Leon bulldogs her.

Hana stands on Momo's back and Leon hits a nice dropkick on her in the corner. Leon then flipping snetons her and camel clutches her. Momo gets put in the ropes then she takes kicks and chops from her opponents. Akari gets in and step kicks both opponents then heavenly locks Hana while sitting on the top rope. Hana spin kicks Akari in the gut then is rolled up in a leg lock. Hana headbutts her in the gut with the side of her head then PK's her.

Leon gets in and hits her corner spear on Akari then tilt-a-whirl backbreakers her. Leon puts Akari in an over the back backbreaker and Hana cobra twists Momo at the same time. Leon then butterfly suplexes her for 2. Momo hits some hard knees to Leon's chest then codebreakers her. Momo then drops double knees on her from the top.

Momo pounds on her chest with hard chest forearms and does a great sell for a spinning rack slam. Momo and Leon exchange more good forearms then Leon criss corsses her on the ropes and spears her. Hana does a nice drop down kick on Momo then Momo kind of does something like a top rope STO to her. Akari nails Momo with a lariat then exploders her.

Leon double spears her opponents then Momo hits a fisherman's suplex on Momo for 2. Hana hits her with some hard face kicks then gets tripped for an Akari 619. Momo then meteora's her. Momo does a Danno O'Mahoney roll to Hana then gets high kicked for 2. Hana then hits a shining kick for another 2. Hana then drops a knee on her neck from the top and wins it.

No great story or anything here but the action was stiff and very fast paced. It was the usual decent Pure-J main event.

Overall thoughts: Crea vs Rydeen was good and the main was decent but the comedy match wasn't good.
