With 85 years and a half a knee between them, they're still better than pretty much any wrestler on the planet.

Good match but it cut off early just as hit the closing stretch

Yeah, really enjoyed it but felt the ending was a little abrupt.

MOTYC
37KAMIINA (MAO and ASUKA) (c) vs Kazusada Higuchi and Naomi Yoshimura - KO-D Teag Team Championship
- Adore Mao and Asuka as a duo, they can do not wrong by me. Fantastic teamwork by the champions, and Higuchi/Yoshimura were great at remaining vulnerable whilst completely outmatching 37K physically. Last 5 minutes especially were on another level, DDT's Tag Division is phenominal

HM
Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama and Chris Brookes vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Soma Takao and HARASHIMA
- Hell yeah, Endo is back baby

Masa Takanashi (c) vs Yusuke Okada - DDT Universal Championship
- Both these guys are great and this was a very good match, just didn't grab me like it could have

Also Makoto Oishi's return match was hilarious. First match in over a year after breaking his neck, and his partner Hirata gets pinned before Oishi can finish making his entrance

They did the unthinkabkle. They got me cheering YOSHI-HASHI

Catching up on the G1 now. I went into this match after watching Shingo/Juice and just couldn't get into it thinking the clap crowds just ruin it for me.

Then this match happened. Holy poo poo it was great! And I'll add that the way this match was shot was super cool. The ringside cameras shooting up meant the sweat flying off these guys on strikes was visible in the lights. Added a whole lot to it!

MOTYC
Ken Ohka, Koki Iwasaki, Sayaka Obihiro and Mizuki Watase vs Yumehito Imanari, Soma Takao, Sayaka and Taison Maeguchi
- Wow, these guys worked their asses off in front of 80 people on a nothing show. Not as flat out insane as the elimination match NOAH put on for their N-1 prologue last year, but still well worth making the time to watch. Definitely a little self-indugent, there's really no reason they had to go 45 minutes, but I was engrossed the whole time

But I'll disagree, her work doesn't necessarily have an urgency and desire to win. Commentary are noting it a lot, and it doesn't make sense for her to take her opponents so lightly when they're ranked higher than her, IMO.

That's fair but in terms of being a comedy undercarder/jobber to the stars with a royalty gimmick the unearned arrogance fits and I think on the whole her gimmick no longer has the dissonance it had because it retained a lot of her Japanese character.
