JWP & AJW Strongest Wars:
Dynamite Kansai & Yumiko Hotta (AJW)
vs.
Devil Masami & Tomoko Miyaguchi

A decent match, even though no one was all that good. Miyaguchi, who worked stiff enough for the opposition to sell, was probably the best. Either Hotta or Devil was the worst; it was too difficult to discern who further below average. I wish Miyaguchi would have no-sold the strikes from Hotta that didn't hit her at all. It just looks so looks bad when anyone does this, and it would serve Hotta right since she doesn't want to sell a strike unless it's a hard one.

Miko: My first impression was, "Wow, I really like everyone in this match except Hotta, so why does it seem really average?' I was hoping I just missed something or the editing was bad on the match, but no. Masami is just about done with her career except for those occasional matches when she decides to really work, and this wasn't one of them. I expect better from Kansai though, especially effort wise, as she's shown she can carry a match a lot better than she did here. JWP seems stalled because the younger wrestlers are stuck learning a lot of things on their own.
