Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 4/13/2024 Live Tour 2024 Spring

This show has Juria Nagano's final two matches before retiring. I was disappointed about her retiring as she only had 35 matches and it was kind of a waste.

Thoughts: It was kind of a one sided match with Uta getting a lot of underdog offense in and not making that much headway on Yuki. Yuki then put her down at the end with a dropkick. I suppose it did what it was supposed to here and Uta had a good showing.

Thoughts: It went too long. However, the work was good and they kept it fast paced and full of action the whole time. I did like it but 1/3rd of this could have been cut off and not much would have been missed. Hima got no offense in. I thought the finishing stretch was a bit weak in this one.

Moka Miyamoto vs. Juria Nagano

They duck kicks and do mat wrestling to start. They stand off after Moka side headlock takeovers her and is put in a headscissors. JN wristlocks Moka then Moka reverses it.  Moka tries to back elbow her but mostly misses. JN front kicks her. JN slams her.

They trade karate chops on the mat. JN sweeping kicks her from the mat. Moka punches her in the gut then leg lariats her. Moka twisting suplexes her for the win.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. There were a lot of weak strikes thrown here and since both girls mostly do strikes, that was a problem. They didn't get as creative as I had hoped they would either with both being martial arts girls. They really didn't go all out here or do anything special at all in Juria's last match.

Moka and juria talk on the mic after. Juria is given some gifts since it's her next to last show. She talks o nthe mic after and cries some. The rest of the roster then greets Juria after.

Overall thoughts: There was only a little over an hour of in-ring action but it felt longer.  The main wasn't that good and that's a shame since it was Juria retirement match. The semi-main was the best thing on here but went long. I liked Mizuki's match more than I expected. Uta did what she was supposed to in her match but it was one-sided which hurt. I didn't really like the rest that much. I'd just give it a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
