Thoughts: It was a longer bout. There was mostly 2 girls in this for the majority of it and then someone would come in and interrupt the flow. The match was not so serious early on but got more serious as it went on. I thought it was a little boring and just average.

Thoughts: It was another match that probably got too much time. It was the most athletic thing on here so far though and they did generally put out a good effort. The selling was a bit suspect here as the facebuster from the apron to the floor really should have put Sakura out. It was acceptable.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see The Iinspiration win here. It would have been an easy way to get the belts off of them. This was a lot better than expected and easily one of The Iinspiration's better bouts lately. Their offense looked better than usual and The Japanese did their part. This was alright.

J argues with the ref. J runs into a facekick then spears the psot when Yuki moves. Yuki full-nelson slams her. Yuki axe kicks her and pins her.
Thoughts: It wasn't that good. There just wasn't anything too special about it and there was no great logic to it. It was an average match for the most part and was not even the best match on this show.
Yuki tells J she loves her after the match. J says she underestimated her and loves her too. J thanks everyone and Yuki asks her to fight again. The whole roster comes out and thanks the fans after.
Overall thoughts: They only had 6 matches so everything got more time than usual. Sometimes that helps matches but this stretched out some of the bouts and the bouts did not get better with time. I would maybe say The Iinspiration had the best bout on here and that's not something I say often. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It was average to acceptable and nothing you need to see.
