Stardom New Years Stars 2019 - Day 9: Evening Show: Konami vs. Mayu Iwatani
Konami's performance was pretty wonderful. She was super focused attacking the taped up leg of Mayu w/ her submissions and kicks to it - a couple of mark out-moments in the match included her countering Mayu's German attempt into what looked like it was gonna be a roll-up, but instead she locks the leg into a submission, sticking to her gameplan + the moment where after she had been torturing Mayu inside the ring for a while, Mayu ends up outside the ring, and as she beats the ref's count, Konami immediately gives her leg a vicious kick. Mayu's selling during the first half of the match was pretty damn great, but as expected, once she started to get more of her shit in, it became extremely spotty. More selling from her & this would've been great, but with how it went, it was still very, very good w/ a really great performance by Konami. ***1/2
Stardom World in Nagoya 2019: Jungle Kyona vs. Momo Watanabe
The match had a BIG FIGHT FEEL w/ the camerawork during the entrances - always have loved the shots of wrestlers backstage moments before going through the curtain, it adds so much to the feeling of the thing, and it did exactly that here. The match itself was a good, intense bombfest w/ a real good atmosphere to it w/ it being in front of Jungle Kyona's hometown fans. It didn't click with me in the way of getting me to go "wow, this is really good/or even great", but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Def worth a watch. ***1/4
