Madeline vs Char vs Saran

I don't know whether it's Char or Shaa. The Japanese version of it clearly says Shaa, but the announcer said Char. She's from Ehime Pro, which is a small comedy fed.

They do a 3 girl stare down and Maddy debates on who to attack first. Char is whipped into Saran then Maddy does a cartwheel back elbow. Char then springboard twisting crossbodies Maddy. Maddy slams Char then fujiwara armbars her with Saran armbarring the other arm. The two then stranglehold her together. Maddy trips Char and Saran stomps on Char's fingers.

This was a fun little match with the girls being creative. The ref should have disqualified though, which is a line I don't think I've ever uttered.

Char takes some cheap shots on Maddy after for stealing the pin.

Misa wasn't too as usual but this was okay. Simple stuff for the most part and Amin did a decent job here carrying a lot of this.

Overall thoughts: It's an Ice Ribbon dojo show. Half the roster is out or gone and there's a lot of less developed or non-roster talent carrying things. It was an okay show, but nothing you really need to go see.
