HM: Rey de Parejas B Block - D'Courage (Madoka Kikuta & Dragon Dia) vs. Natural Vibes (Jacky "Funky" Kamei & Jason Lee)
Match here on youtube
Could have been a MOTYC but they sacrificed stepping into the next gear on the final stretch for some angle shenanigans, which was fine.

Neat show, only match I was disappointed by was Iwata vs Kawahata because I expected a lot from those two. Watch it on Wrestle Universe if you have it, to show CyberFight it's not a waste of time putting all these other promotions up

HM
Fuminori Abe vs Ayame Sasamura
- https://vk.com/video-4499945_456252736?t=1h20m24s

Less viscerally brutal than Abe's usual big matches and hampered mightily by how 2AW choose to produce their shows (having post commentary in the corner and only in one ear is very distracting) but nonetheless well worth the watch both for fans of intergender wrestling done well or just to see Abe actaully bigger than his opponent for once.

Yeah, I thought that was a lot of fun & really meant to recommend you didn't miss it in the Puro thread. Sasamura is really underappreciated. I was a bit lower than you on it but thought it was excellent for what it was.

It isn't bad enough for a WMOTYC but if you are subbed to CMLL for Dos Leyendas the Atlantis and Octagon vs Chavez Bros from tonight's show features Octagon looking absolutely horrible and the Chavez Bros doing some funny heel work to get around their opponents being extremely old.
