Rydeen Hagane and Momo Tani vs Rina Amikura and SAKI
Saki then gets tied up in the ropes and her opponents pose on her. Momo and Rydeen then pose on their opponents. Rydeen slams and splashes Saki for 2 then Momo meteora's Saki in the corner. She then drops double vader bomb knees for 2. Momo does a nice jumping knee then clotheslines Saki from the top. Saki suplexes Momo then Rina splashes Momo in reverse tree of woe.
Momo has Rina in a submission then Saki has Rydeen in one at the same time. Rina hits machine gun chops on Rydeen and tries to shoulder battle Rydeen but loses. Rydeen then pops up Momo for a knee drop on Rina. Rydeen vader bombs Rina for 2. Saki and Rina double shoulder Rydeen and Saki does a nice roll into a crossface on Rydeen. Rydeen double back drops both opponents and their opponents take double vader bomb style moves.
Saki rocking chairs Rydeen but Momo breaks it. Rina 2nd rope sentons Rydeen's back then Saki vader bombs Rydeen's back for 2. Momo climbs on Rydeen's shoulders and does a flipping senton then Rydeen sliding lariats Saki for 2. Rydeen does a nice top rope moonsault on Saki and wins it.
It was an entertaining match. Rina's personality made it fun. I wouldn't call it great or say it had any special logic to it but there wasn't really anything to rip it for. I liked Rydeen's moonsault at the end and Rina is really improving as a wrestler.

Kaori's team poses to start and gets kicked for it. Chie gets a double kick to the gut then Kakeru poses on her while her teammates hold Chie.

Akari gets in and shotgun dropkicks Kaori then Akari takes triple attacks from her opponents. Akari triangles Kaori over the top rope and down to the floor. Somehow this only eliminated Kaori even though Akari touched. Later on, Kakeru drops Hana's arm over the top rope then Kakeru gets sandwich kicked by Hana and Akari. This leads to Makoto spearing both Hana and Akari.
Kakeru springboard twisting crossbodies Hana off the 2nd rope then Makoto cartwheel knee drops Hana for 2. Hana and Makoto trade strikes and Makoto hits a nice spear on Hana. Makoto pump kicks Hana then takes a 619 from Akari and a Hana shining wizard for 2. Everyone fights and Makoto/Akari go at it on the apron. Both get knocked off and are eliminated.
Hana and Kakeru fight on the apron. Hana high kicks her and her partners keep her on. Kakeru tries to push off Hana with her feet. Hana stunners Kakeru over the top rope and celebrates but Kakeru knocks her off to the floor and wins it.
The match was fun but they messed up the match when Akari fell to the floor and it continued anyway. She should have been eliminated and there's just no excuse for that. These elimination matches are often entertaining and this was no exception otherwise.

Crea chest forearm flurries Leon then Leon dropkicks her. Crea shoulders her down then indian deathlocks her. Crea chokes her with her leg on the ropes then Leon flying dropkicks her and flipping sentons her. Leon rolls her into a grounded guillotine but Crea rope breaks.

This was a fun match. Leon's always good and Crea held up her part quite well. They matched up together well though Crea does need to work on tightening up some of her rolling moves.
Kazuki vs Megumi Yabushita
Slow start here as they go to the mat. Megumi does a side throw then facebusters her for 2. Kaz then back body drops her but holds onto her legs in some unusual suplex. Megumi gets tied up in the ropes then Kazuki and someone from the ouside pose on her. Megumi then triangles her over the top rope but Kaz recovers and throws her down off of it.
Megumi leglocks her then gets a belt and starts whipping her. Kaz then whips her with the belt and they tug of war over it. Kaz knee flurries her to the gut in the corner then Momo, Rydeen and someone else come in and running knee Megumi. Kaz gets leglocked again then hits a vader bomb style knee drop for 2.
Kaz misses a top rope knee drop. She hits a fireman's carry gutbuster but Megumi recovers and chops her. Megumi comes off the 2nd rope on her arm then wins it with a rolling armbar.
I didn't like the interference here and the first part of the match wasn't good.
Overall thoughts: I liked 3 of the 4 matches. As usual, it was a decent non-dojo Pure-J show.
