Thoughts: Rian got a little happy with the no selling here which I didn't like, but I did like this otherwise. Rian was a likeable underdog here showing some fire and flurrying on Hina. Hina was good in her role as the more experienced vet and did some extra offense she doesn't usually do to put her down. They sold me on Rian maybe winning this once so it worked.

Hina talks to her on the mic after and Rian responds. They seem to agree to something.

Thoughts: It was pretty average here and wasn't too much of note. It was fat paced with a lot of people coming out and we saw basically nothing from Kotatsu for some reason. The big story of this one was HATE trying to get Ami to turn on her partners and failing to get her to do so.

Saya talks to Ami on the mic after and grins and laughs. Ami also has words for her and seems to maybe challenge her.

I thought it was good.

Thoughts: If you were looking for a street fight, this really wasn't it. They didn't fight outside much, maybe even less than usual and chairs were the only weapon used here. It was just a typical 8-man for Stardom. The match was fine and they kept up a fast pace. Kid was in this most of the way and akira looked like she belong too. The big news was Bozilla coming in to interfere. I don't know what happened with her and Marigold, but Marigold pushed her hard, made her something when she was unknown and I think it's bad that she ditched them for Stardom.

Thoughts: From the start, you could tell they were going for a classic here. The first half of this was great with them hitting hard shots on each other and Sare working the leg. The second half dragged a bit and the leg work wasn't quite followed up on, but the work was okay. I thought it was a borderline great match overall, but the chance for a classic was there if they were a little smarter. 

Sareee talks on the mic after then Syuri talks to her on the mic and puts her hand on the title. Sareee then talks more to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a long one like all these Stardom PPV's are. I liked the opener as Rian had one of her better showings. The trios match with Ema Maishima was fine and I was okay with FWC vs HATE. I didn't like Risa/Hana much. God's Eye vs Hate was pretty average. I liked the tag title match as it was the super fast match I expected and Poi was stiffing people like usual. The No DQ match was just a normal Stardom 8-man tag for the most part and it was fine, but not the street fight it should have been. Bozilla debuted for Stardom here and I'd love to know what the politics were on that one. Syuri vs Sareee was a borderline great match that had a chance at being a classic. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 as the main was borderline great, the 8-man was okay enough and the tag title match was good. I also liked some of the undercard bouts.
