SEAdLINNNG Beyond The Sea Title: Arisa Nakajima vs. Riko Kaiju 19:58. While no one can fault Arisa for leaving the rotting carcass known as JWP, at least JWP had some legitimately skilled opponents for her in the actual league such as Bolshoi, Nakamori, and Leon. The problem with her SEAdLINNNG run from day one has been that the only legitimate talent (maybe we can include freelancer ASUKA once she gained more experience since she is a regular there) has been outsiders such as Fujimoto, Iroha, Matsumoto, & Nakamori again, so like most of these little leagues with one legitimate wrestler that are barely existing today, there's just not a lot happening there on a regular or consistent basis. Second year wrestler Kaiju is one of the most promising young wrestlers in Japan, and is definitely patterning herself after a young Arisa, with a ton of energy and a shoot style bend. Kaiju isn't the best prospect on paper in the sense that she's barely 5'1", and nowhere near the level of athlete that some of the smaller women who broke out such as Momoe Nakanishi or Natsuki*Taiyo were. For her experience level, even the weakest aspects of her game are very impressive by today's low standards for "prospects" though . Her work ethic is incredibly strong and consistent, and her desire and willingness to put forth the effort clearly comes through to the point of making her exciting even when she's not doing anything special, which probably enough to ultimately become a standout in the current landscape. She's certainly a challenger in name only, but given her great efforts on the undercards, you knew she'd be more than a willing opponent who was excited about the prospect of being pulled through a match by the great champion. Kaiju's striking is good technically, and while it's modeled after Nakajima's, Nakajima is still the master at putting the actual intensity into it that is so lacking from most others. This produced much of the best stuff here, as they were either using a strike to set up a big move or throwing an aggressive flurry rather than doing the usual foolish exchanges. Kaiju's rope running wasn't that fluid today, perhaps she was just nervous as she seemed much more confident in her next few performances. The structure of the match was basically Nakajima selling way more than she had to in order to make Kaiju come off as something of a credible challenger, then giving her the same offense back to show her how it's expertly done. Nakajima was really beating the crap out of this poor kid, and if there were actually any live human beings in the building, the match should have had some atmosphere and drama, but it's difficult for this type of prospect pushing the establishment match to really come off in what feels like an empty arena because you need to be swept up by the spirit and enthusiasm of the underdog to somehow delude yourself into contemplating that they might somehow win. The match improved considerably when they started chaining counters, with Nakajima ultimately having one more move or maneuver to win the sequences because she has the talent and experience. It didn't really build to any spectacular climax, but again, it was an honor for Kaiju to simply be in the ring forcing Arisa to deal with her at all. In the end, they did their best to make this come off as a competitive title match rather than a great star schooling a promising kid. Nakajima was her exceptional self even though she wasn't working nearly as hard or fast as she's capable of, and Kaiju held up her end, so there was certainly a lot more to be enthusiastic about here than when Arisa is stuck dealing with the slug Nanae or the thug YOSHIKO. ***

Riko Kawahata & SAKI vs. Arisa Nakajima & Riko Kaiju 20:29. I was a bit skeptical here because we were adding two workers to the good Nakajima vs. Kaiju title match from last month, and now those two were representing SEAdLINNNG, teaming together against the outsiders, so they weren't escalating whatever rivalry could be said to exist between the two coming off Kaiju's predictable loss. Also, SAKI isn't the most enthusiastic worker, and as with Kaiju, Kawahata is a young work in progress. This definitely wasn't the usual match that was falling apart the second Nakajima tagged though. I was far more impressed with Kaiju here than I was in the title match. Her energy and intensity really went a long way towards making this match, and was more than matched by Kawahata, who was perhaps the most impressive. Kawahata is another of the best prospects in Japan, and theoretically has a much higher upside than Kaiju because she is a far superior athlete. She moves really well, and has a lot of flexibility and dexterity despite being at least average sized. Honestly, the best portions of the match were Kaiju against Kawahata, as they really took this seriously and went hard. Nakajima is always tops, but SAKI is kind of passionless to the point of being just kind of there, a totally competent but not particularly energetic performer who didn't make things particularly exciting despite doing everything pretty well. She was largely matched with Nakajima, which made sense because they are around the same age and both more or less have their own league. I definitely don't want to make it sound like SAKI was a lot worse than the others, she executed everything well, it's just that her demeanor made her less interesting to watch, whereas everyone else's made them and the match more interesting to watch. Kawahata and Kaiju really beat each other up here, laying into each other with the strikes. These segments were very energetic, and they kept moving and mixing in counters that weren't strikes, so it wasn't obvious that they were just doing another striking sequence now, or repetitive in the strikes that they used. Kawahata has some nice high and middle kicks, and continued the impressive energetic striking with Nakajima. The athleticism of Kawahata is certainly a thing, but honestly the difference between her sequences and SAKI's was the energy, and that made a lot of difference. In the end, this was mostly a striking battle, but the fact that they mixed striking in with quick athletic and power offense made it much less predictable and more interesting then the usual Kobashi vs. Kensuke tropes, giving things a much more opportunistic feel. ***
Ayame Sasamura vs. Riko Kaiju 15:00. An outstanding effort. This wasn't the most evolved offensive match you will ever see, but flashy offense with nothing to back it up is one of the big issues in wrestling today, especially in these joshi and independent leagues that don't offer much in the way of fundamental training, or perhaps training at all? This match may be kind of an evolved rookie match, Kaiju had been wrestling 2 years while Sasamura had been wrestling 5, but at the same time it was kind of everything I want to see from pro wrestling in general. It was energetic, aggresive, & urgent, fast paced & hard hitting, more shoot oriented in its striking techniques, and generally an all-out effort that represents the best these two were capable of doing. These two are usually partners, but fought really hard, with a take no prisoners attitude, for the duration. There were a lot of body slams and dropkicks, basic stuff early on, but there were also tons of nasty blows, some nice suplexes down the stretch, and some variety and diversity in the style and pacing. The match felt more like in an Arisa Nakajima match than the actual Arisa Nakajima matches I've been watching from 2022 do. They were fighting with the energy and exhuberance we are used to from Nakajima, but that Nakajima hasn't been producing now that she has slotted herself comfortably into the role of the dominant star of the promotion. In fact, even though Sasamura probably isn't 1/20 the wrestler that Nakajima is even on a bad day, the effort and energy displayed here from these two made the match more interesting then Kaiju's title challenge against Nakajima from the previous month. The best aspect of their offense, particulary from Sasamura, was the striking. They are very stiff, but also like Arisa actually willing to throw flurries of strikes and be less predictable, rather than simply exchanging as a tired old trope. A nice touch saw Kaiju beat Sasamura to the strike because Sasamura wound up, telegraphing it, allowing Kaiju to react by throwing a shorter and more direct blow. Kaiju then decided to run the ropes though, so Sasamura said, if you are going to do those kind of shenanigans, I'm just going to knock you down and give you an ultra beatdown with some ground and pound. There were a lot of slaps and elbows in this match, but they were ultra stiff. It kind of felt like the old shoot fighting days when they were using palms because they weren't wearing gloves, smart enough not to hurt themselves rather than afraid of hurting the opponent. Sasamura threw some really heavy elbows. She isn't as evolved as Kaiju despite being 6 years older, but she can get her body into her strikes very well, that's for sure. These two actually look pretty similar, and their offense isn't drastically different either, with the exception of Kaiju definitely being both the better athlete and the more fluid and confident of the two. Sasamura was sometimes prone to waiting and hesitating. She did better in the striking portions, while Kaiju, as definitely the quicker and more explosive performer, was also able to mix in some more junior style action that kept things from getting repetitive. It would have been fine if someone won a minute or three before the 15 minute time limit, but for the most part this was a match that was actually the proper length. They had the energy to sustain this amount of time for sure, presumably their offense will get there, and that will allow them to take it to the next level. ***1/4
