Both from Rampage. The Jade match is exactly what she should be doing. 9-10 minutes where she is dominant but her opponent gets more than basic hope spots.

Seconded

Magical Sugar Rabbits (Yuka Sakazaki and Mizuki) and Cat and Bird (Haruna Neko and Kaya Toribami) vs Raku, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu and Marika Kobashi
- A real fun 8 person tag to start the show, everyone got a chance to show off and the tag champs didn't look too dominant over the field

AriSuzu (Arisu Endo and Suzume) vs Rival Schools: United by Fate (Moka Miyamoto and Yuki Arai)
- Goddamn Arai is so loving cool, she already a star and she's been doing this less than a year. This was a great rookie battle and shows that the TJPW dojo is really good at developing talent, the most experienced person here was Suzume and she only debuted in August 2019

121000000 (Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh) vs VenYu (Asuka and Kamiyu)
- This was heckin rad, they gave us a taste of the rad kickladies beating the hell out of each other and left us wanting more. Itoh and Kamiyu more than held up their end of the match as well.

DayDream (Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi) vs Kyoraku Kyomei (Hyper Misao and Shoko Nakajima)

- Cannot go wrong with these four. Sugi and Tanaka beat the poo poo out of each other, Saku was his usual wily self, and Marufuji was the glue holding it together

Kenoh (c) vs Masakatsu Funaki - GHC National Championship
- Short and brutal, both guys got to throw some hard shots and showed off some cool grappling. And the post-match, talk about a shock

Ryuki Honda vs Shotaro Ashino
- Honda has come a long way since I started watching last year and he was barely out of being a Young Boy, definitely got he feeling that both guys were holding back which makes sense considering the winner had a second match.

Total Eclipse (Koji Doi and Kuma Arashi) vs NEXTREAM (Yuma Aoyagi and Atsuki Aoyagi)

MOTYC: Kento Miyahara vs. Ryuki Honda for the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship - AJPW New Year Wars (1/23)

I really can't say much about this match without giving away who won the two semi final matches in the tournament but neither was really worth your time so don't feel too bad about clicking the spoilers. This was a fantastic breakout performance for Honda, especially after following Rising Hayato making GBS threads the bed in the junior title match. He looked loving great and didn't look like he was out of his depth being in there with Kento. His offence all looked amazing and there were a few spots where he made me believe he was going to do it. Best AJPW match I've seen in a long time. I just wish Kyohei Wada was replaced by Nikkan Lee for main event matches.
