Saya talks on the mic after. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show here. Hina/Suzu and Rina/Utami were the big highlights of this one and both were good. I also mostly liked Mei/Itoh and Inaba/Tora. I hated the opener and Koguma/Ami. Hana/Kikyo wasn't too good either. This had 6 bouts I was positive on though and I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as there was a lot of good wrestling to be had here. This was a good show.
