Thoughts: It was an okay opening match. They traded armbars here and Kiz repeated a lot of her offense. Kiz ended up winning with a move that clutched the arm so she did follow up some on the armwork. Kizuna maybe not being in the GP is disappointing.

Thoughts: It went to a 15 minute draw here. It wasn't really enough time. They were having a solid match here and didn't even really go into finishers here before the time ran out. I liked this one and would have been happy to watch another 15 minutes of it.

Thoughts: It was a fun tag here. They played up Boz's size. Nao was a good crash test dummy for Boz and we had clear heels and faces. I would have liked the heels to actually get DQ'd for using a chair though as that's pro wrestling 101.

Thoughts: Two time limit draws on one show with one of them being in the main is brave. I wasn't a fan of this one. There was some limb work that didn't go anywhere and here was just nothing of substance. They should have just stuck with trading blows and knocked about 5+ minutes off of this one. 

Flowers are supposed to be given to the winner after but it's draw, so they kind of split them. They talk on the mic after, hug and raise each other's hands to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was an easy show to get to, but it was about average overall. The Bozilla trios match was the best thing on here and the other trios match was okay but didn't get enough time. I was also okay with the opener here. The main wasn't that good. I wouldn't recommend this.
