MOTYC: Suzu Suzuki vs. Masashi Takeda - Ice Ribbon Spring is Short, So You Maidens Should Fight (4/26)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhNSjjKNv_U

Unfortunately the stream skipped the entrances, so you miss out on the commentary team dancing to Rokkinpo Goroshi.

This is the first match in Suzu's hardcore trial series where it feels like her opponent has treated the match as a serious match and not as a bit of a sideshow (which Suzu was very happy about to be treated as an equal by the world's best deathmatch wrestler), as such if you find the idea of watching an 18-year-old girl wrestle a grown man in a hardcore match uncomfortable then I'd recommend not watching.

This is loving gnarly. Suzu Suzuki is one of the best young wrestlers in the world and also she is loving insane. Takeda holds nothing back, it honestly feels more like a squash at times but despite not getting much offence in she keeps getting back up. All heart, also the near fall after she hit a German was so loving good.

The match is loving rad and has to been so that's a 2nd for this

Probably won't get enough votes but:

WMOTYC: Asuka, Lana, Naomi vs Rhea, Nia, and Shayna, WWE RAW 4/26/21

A pointless interference spot by Mandy and Dana that did not impact the match in the slightest other than to piss everyone off. And then you had Rhea struggling to lift up Naomi and then Lana as the match started winding down. And she botched the Riptide on Lana (she barely got off the ground) to the point of where they had Nia tag in to hit the leg drop to finish the match.

Also that wasn't paper. That was the cup he was wearing to protect from the nut shot. He pulled it out to brag after she kicked him in the nuts and then she stapled it to his tongue.

HM: Las Fresas de Egoistas (Asuka & Makoto) vs. Yumiko Hotta & Rina Yamashita - SEAdLINNNG Special NIGHT (4/26)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u0bpvg_U1A

When Yumiko Hotta was in Actwres girl'Z she seemed very uninterested in participating in matches, often standing in the corner for tag matches and no-selling everything. Since arriving in SEAd as the manager to her protege, Riko Kawahata, she's brought a chaotic energy to the proceedings, particularly when Asuka is involved. This was her first official match of this run and it did not disappoint. This is probably the most I've laughed in a long time as these four went crazy and the poor replacement referee displayed all the authority of a substitute teacher in the rowdiest class in the school before finally throwing the match out as his attempts to restore order were laughed at and ignored. Special mention to Las Ego's third member Rico Kaiju who found the most unique ways to interfere with proceedings, such as throwing a giant ball into the ring.

MOTYC: Citrus Wind (Nanae Takahashi & Arisa Nakajima) (c) vs. Citrus Wind (Honori Hana & Riko Kawahata) for the Beyond the SEA Tag Team Championship - SEAdLINNNG Special Night (4/26

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmi-jYnwcas

SEAdLINNNG's tag title scene is consistently producing some of my favourite matches. This one pitted Citrus Wind's rookies against their veteran team and was a breakout match for Honori Hana that unfortunately happened behind closed doors with easily her best performance in the ring (though seeing her dancing with former professional dancer Kawahata during their entrance certainly was not the best performance you'll ever see). The younger wrestlers did an excellent job of showing their desperation to take the fight to their mentors and the match kept a frantic pace as their cornered Nanae. Every time Arisa managed to get in to punish the younger wrestlers was both delighting and terrifying. Excellent match, and the next title defence set up at the end looks set to keep up the run of great tag title main events.

HM: GWC Six Man Tag Team Title: ASUKA, Hagane Shinnou & Shinichiro Tominaga vs Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Miyako Matsumoto. DDT Ganbare Pro Joshi Pro-Wrestling ~ Kocho Ranbu 2021 ~ 24/4/21

A chaotic fun six person tag match where everyone got their own form of shine. I wasn't familiar with Hagane Shinnou or Shinichiro Tominaga before this match but both lit up the ring. Chris Brookes was a wonderful bully to his opponents and one of his teammates, Drew was hard hitting and just a touch flamboyant, and Miyako was frankly magical. If you have a Wrestle Universe subscription already it's worth taking a peek at this one.

This surprises me, I thought both guys had better matches with Zeus in the CC and this match was just kind of there for me, hovering around good. Kento/Ashino is my match of the tournament so far and blows this out of the water.
