Devil Masami did this weird paranormal zombie gimmick. The announcers seemed to refer to The Undertaker and she did some of his mannerisms, except for any good offense. Ran Yu-Yu is one of my favorite joshi wrestlers. The match was decent but Masami isn’t good anymore, and I have seen her work when she weighed a third as much. Aniko vs. Gammi was a fun match. Big thumbs up for all the ARSION fans, for whom this was a treat. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata vs. Dynamite Kansai & Manami Toyota was a great tag team match. My first time seeing Matsumoto & Ohata.
Sonoko Kato is also new to me and she was pretty impressive as well. That tag match was solid. Ozaki and the chain shots to thefaceare off the hook crazy-looking. Aja Kong vs. Carlos Amano, probably a three star kind of match with lots of good moves with a few minor botched things and a match that I felt lacked heat.
