TJPW Korakuen January 4th
MOTYC
Miyu Yamashita (c) vs Mizuki - Princess of Princess Championship
- Kill the Rabbit. Rabbit won't die? Kick her again. Oh poo poo, Rabbit's fighting back

HM
DayDream (Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi) vs Kamiyu and Kakuta Nao
- Outside of Nao's head slamming into the corner post in a scary fashion this was a bunch of fun. Miu remains real cool and real strong

Yuka Sakazaki vs Yuki Arai
- Yuka gonna haze the rookie. Too bad she didn't know that Arai loves that poo poo

Hikari Noa (c) vs Maki Itoh - International Princess Championship
- First 10 minutes were pretty bland, but it really picked up in the second half and had a cool finishing sequence

IMPACT Wrestling On AXS TV, 01.13.22:
HM: Chris Bey vs Laredo Kid
- those two are always good, Trey popping on commentary added that extra something
HM: Deonna Purrazzo vs Rok-C (AAA Reina De Reinas / ROH Women's World Title Match)
- Rok-C should send Deonna a gift basket after this, because Purrazzo made her look really good. Limb crimes galore in this, just a pleasure to watch.

Impact On AXS TV, 02.03.22

HM: Jordynne Grace (c) vs Matt Cardona / Digital Media Championship match
- Jordynne is very good; Matt Cardona is very good. Their work together - unsurprisingly - is very good. Just an old fashioned inter-gender slobber knocker.

HM: "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Jake Something, Ace Austin & Mad Man Fulton vs Bullet Club (Chris Bey, Guerillas Of Destiny & Jay White)
- everything here is firing on all cylinders, a lot of cool, smooth moves and dope spots.

Impact Wrestling, Impact On AXS TV 10.27.2022:

(personally a MOTYC, but realistically)
HM: Deonna Purrazzo, Chelsea Green & Gisele Shaw vs Jordynne Grace (c), Mickie James & Taylor Wilde
- Knockouts still putting out good stuff for the sickos that watch Impact, great multi-person stuff that wisely got the main event.

MOTYC: Jordynne Grace (c) Vs Gisele Shaw // Knockouts World Championship Match

There are certain women that just click with Jordynne, Kiera Hogan was one, and I think Gisele is another. This was fun and hard hitting and i'd love to see them have another go at it in the future.
