It went longer than it needed to and wasn't good. Saran just could not figure those swinging busters out or was concussed. I think we all try to give Saran break because she's younger, but this was one of the worst matches I've ever seen her in.

It wasn't that good. A lot of the moves didn't really connect that well here and Nanae's stuff didn't look good. It also went longer than it needed to.

It was long and not good. They had comedy and people attacking their own partners and the ref. They did the most basic of moves and this really did look like a rookie match for the most part.
They had birthday cake for one of the Ice Ribbon heads and Kaho aftr.
Overall thoughts: The show wasn't good. The main was a pain to sit through and had comedy mixed in. There was just little to suggest that things might be better next time around. Unfortunately, shows like these are why I stopped reviewing Ice Ribbon so frequently even though I do like to support them.
