Crea vs KAZUKI

Akari is the second ref here and gets to hit people with a fan when they say various things. Kazuki got the win here with a sunset flip. I skipped most of this as it's really hard to understand if you don't speak Japanese plus the ref getting to hit people is stupid.

Crea and AKARI vs Momo Tani and Chie Ozora

Everyone is wearing old gear for some reason.

Chie is thrown into her partner early then Chie and Momo are tired up in the ropes and chopped. Chiedropkicks Akari against the ropes and then Akari is used as a stool to pose on between the ropes. Momo hair throws Akari and drops knees on her. Akari then shotgun dropkicks Momo.

Crea trips Momo into an Akari elbow then Crea camel clutches Momo as Akari dropkicks her. Crea fights off a 2v1 with shoulders and Chie is slammed by Akari. Chie walks the top rope with Akari's arm then armdrags her. Akari pump kicks both opponents then Chie takes corner moves. Akari strangleholds Chie from the top buckle and misses a dropkick from 2nd rope. Chie then nails her with one for 2. Akari then takes a Chie double stomp and a Momo double knee drop. Akari then suplexes Momo for 2.

Crea hits some chest kicks on Momo and gets a 2 count on her. Momo facebusters Crea then Crea kneebreaks Momo. She rolls her into an ankle lock. Chie tries to break it up but gets put in a rack hold over Akari's shoulder. Crea goes up top and is thrown down by Momo then dropkicked by Chie. Momo meteora's her in the corner and drops double knees on her from the 2nd rope for 2.

Momo and Chie double dropkick Akari then Momo codebreakers Crea. Crea blocks her move then northern lights suplexes her for 2. Akari spin kicks Chie then takes a flying shoulder. Chie hits a top rope shoulder on Akari for 2 then sunsent flips her for 2. Chie rolls her around with a bodysicssors. Akari 619's Chie then Crea holds her up for an Akari facebuster. Akari then northern lights suplexes her and they try pin attempts.  Akari puts la magistral on Chie and Akari gets pushed into a Momo codebreaker. Chie then perfectplexes Akari and Akari hits a deep tequila sunrise on Chie for the win.

It wasn't anything too special. There was nothing really wrong with it but the selling wasn't there as the pace was too fast for it.

Leon vs Madeline vs Rydeen Hagane

Madeline has new gear here that looks like it was found at Target. They do a triple collar and elbow tie up and Maddy is thrown off. Maddy steps on the feet of her opponents and leg kicks them but is shouldered down. Maddy then uses the ropes to armdrag them. Maddy then poses on the top rope with Rydeen's arm and drops down with an armbar.

Maddy rolls up Leon out of nowhere and tries to explain herself, then tries to get Leon to work with her. Leon picks up Maddy and Maddy rolls on her and tris to get a pin off of it. Leon lawn dart spears Maddy then double stomps her. Leon then crabs her and Rydeen goes to sleeper Leon while she does this.

Rydeen spinning backbreakers Maddy then splashes both at the same time. Rydeen then single leg crabs both at the same time. Rydeen racks Leon over her back then splashes her against the ropes for 2. Leon then uses the ropes to bulldog Rydeen and spears her. Leon goes to top rope frogsplash both opponents but only gets Rydeen when Maddy moves.

Maddy hits chest kicks on Leon then Rydeen ends up spearing Rydeen on the apron. Maddy then rolls Leon into an ankle lock. Leon tilt-a-whirl backbreakers Maddy and racks her across her back. Rydeen breaks it up then side throws Leon. Maddy hits chest kicks on Rydeen then rolls her up a few times.

Rydeen blocks a casadora attempt and drops her body first on the mat. Rydeen then vader bombs her and Leon splashes her and dropkicks Rydeen at the same time. Leon spinning high kicks Rydeen and we even get a double pin attempt on Rydeen. Rydeen hits a super kick and spinning heel kick on Maddy. Leon then does a back roll into a bridge pin on Rydeen and Maddy gets on top of it and pins both girls to win it.

The finish was interesting. 3 ways are mostly all the same with a couple of 3 person moves and then people pairing off. That's what happened here. They worked some storyline with Leon and Maddy not being able to work together that I didn't really understand and they kept this one fast paced.

Overall thoughts: Not really a great dojo show. The comedy match wouldn't have been good even without the Japanese stuff and the rest wasn't enough to carry it.
