Sendai Girls World Title Match: Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Sareee 16:37. A good start to their fued, but little beyond a dry run where they learned how to work together, gearing up for their bigger matches later in the year. It took a while to get going, with the focus being on Sareee was figuring out how to be credible against Hashimoto, and throw her off her game. The problem was she could slip out of things, and gain little advantages, but had trouble really hurting her with anything beyond her uranage finisher. They established the urgency of Sareee avoiding Hashimoto's suplexes, and that Sareee was clever and crafty. This was well worked, with some intensity, but it never got into a high gear, or felt like Sareee could win. ***

Sareee vs. Meiko Satomura 15:30. This was like every screwed up joshi veteran vs. up and comer match you've seen since the mid 90s, that kept any of the newer generations from succeeding, except much stiffer. If the Satomura who made Kairi Hohum look like an actual wrestler had showed up, this might have been a MOTYC. Instead, it was one of the more annoying good matches I've seen. The skill level was certainly high, and really all Satomura had to do was allow the match to do what it was supposed to do, but her ego predictably got in the way. This is one of the reasons Satomura never ran a successful promotion, every match against someone who wasn't a huge name outsider was about Meiko Satomura getting over that Meiko Satomura is the best and toughest. In this case, Satomura did shockingly lose, but the result wasn't the least bit believable because everything Satomura did during the match was putting over Satomura rather than Sareee. Satomura gave a very Hottaesque performance, and was simply only going to allow this to go so far. She wrestled in low gear, beating the crap out of Sareee in a very brutal manner, and doing little to allow you to believe Sareee had even a remote chance. Sareee got to show a lot of heart and spirit, taking this level of punishment, but anytime Sareee tried to show fire or threatened to gain any momentum, Satomura just cut her right off. This was a somewhat believable match with a decent amount of struggle, except when Sareee was running and jumping, which is where I would have been okay with Satomura just cutting her off. Satomura's execution was stiff and precise, and if you measure the match on how well she laid into her opponent, then sure, she was great. Sareee was trying a lot harder, but it was an uphill battle against a badass legend who didn't want to give her the opportunity to upstage her in any way. This should have been a main event, and showcased Sareee to the point where she was at least competitive. It could have been 60 or 65% Satomura offense because she was losing, but this felt more like 90% Satomura, not because it was actually nearly that onesided, but because everything Satomura did put herself over. For example, when Sareee tried to fire up, Satomura was unphased by her four elbows, and just flattened her with one. That pretty much sums up the match in general. It was good because the workers are excellent when they want to be, but it was frustrating, and hard to get into. Sareee hung in there, but this wasn't a compelling underdog storyline. There weren't hot comebacks. It was difficult to get behind Sareee or have any hope that she could win. They upped the intensity of the striking down the stretch, which mostly meant that Sareee took more massive punishment. Sareee had the ability to stand up to Satomura here. She was bringing her credible offense, and laying it in, but Satomura didn't put it over in any real way. After Satomura spent the entire match making it clear that Sareee couldn't stand up to her, she somehow couldn't pin her right away after landing her Death Valley bomb finisher, and for some reason, Sareee was able to come right back with two exploders for the totally unconvincing upset. Even though Sareee got the win, and beat her clean with her finisher, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that it was a fluke, and Satomura was still the greatest. Honestly, it would have been better if Satomura made Sareee look like she was really on her level, but still won. This result looks good on paper, but Satomura made absolutely sure that it wasn't fooling anyone who actually saw it. ***
DASH Chisako & Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Hikaru Shida & Killer Kelly 18:32
Sendai Girls World Title Match: Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Jordynne Grace 13:41. An intense battle between two of the strongest women. These two are not used to wrestling one another, and are always the heavier, stronger wrestler, so this mirror match was a big adjustment. Grace was the aggressor, but Hashimoto couldn't play off her nearly as well as she plays off the small athletic women. This started somewhat slowly, but got better and better as they increased the stiffness and did more power moves. This match still wasn't super consistent, but it wasn't dull either, as it was built more around a reasonable number of big power moves, and they just filled in some strikes or whatever around these highlights. The best spot saw Grace get Hashimoto in a piggyback, but drop her forward to facebuster her on the apron. Hashimoto had a hard time really getting going here. It wasn't her most fluid match to be certain, and was sometimes awkward and clunky, though more on Grace's part. The finish sucked here too, but at least Grace was credible against Hashimoto to start with, so you believed this could go either way throughout even though Hashimoto basically sold the whole way, then won out of nowhere with a powerbomb and a German suplex. The quality largely rested upon Grace's offense, which was good, but not as impressive as usual because as strong as she is, Hashimoto obviously isn't an opponent she can just toss around like a ragdoll. On purely the quality of the wrestling, the Satomura match was a lot better, it was just so ridiculous with her not even giving Sareee enough for it to come off as a fluke that I can't really rate it any higher. ***

Sendai Girls Tag Title Match: Charli Evans & Millie McKenzie vs. DASH Chisako & Hiroyo Matsumoto 18:38. I liked this a little more than Sareee vs. Hashimoto. It was so energized and urgent it felt more like the big interpromotional match than the actual title vs title main event did. This was also fast-paced, hard-hitting, high intensity action from start to finish, rather than just in the second half. DASH vs. Millie was as fun as you'd expect. These two really took it to each other, and particularly Millie went all out trying to one up DASH. Mckenzie was really fired up here, putting a lot of pressure on her own performance and success, as everything seemed life and death. DASH vs. Millie was the speed pairing, while Matsumoto vs. Evans was the hard-hitting pairing. Mckenzie was happy to mix it up with anybody though. Normally, McKenzie doesn't reach the level in Japan that she does in EVE, but this was her going all out to have a match of the year. Matsumoto and Evans were good, but the match was mostly DASH and McKenzie making things happen. The worst part of the match was the finish, which was a bit underwhelming, with DASH finally hitting her hormone splash, but McKenzie rolling her over for the flash pin. ***3/4
Sendai Girls World & World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana Double Title Match: Sareee [WWPWDW] vs. Chihiro Hashimoto [SENDAI] 18:06. This match didn't start out strongly because it didn't tell us anything that we didn't already know. Hashimoto had too much size, strength, and amateur wrestling skill for Sareee to handle her out of any of the lockups. Sareee upped the intensity for a flat-footed elbow exchange, but despite hitting really hard, she wasn't putting a dent into her much larger opponent. Sareee could temporarily upend Hashimoto with a dropkick or arm drag, but couldn't maintain these advantages. When Hashimoto wanted to control Sareee, she could, but she got cocky, and Sareee was able to avoid her lower percentage athletic moves. Hashimoto is much more interesting when she is forced to react, as she'll come up with something when she needs to, but tends to just settle into second gear during her segments of control. Sareee was doing a lot of Manami Toyota homages here, the main difference being she did half diving footstomps rather than all missile kicks. When Sareee tried to re-enter after a diving body attack to the floor, Hashimoto power bombed her off the apron, and they teased the count out as in their previous match. The intensity picked up considerably when Hashimoto blocked Sareee uranage, but Sareee headbutted her to open up the German suplex. They were really laying into each other until Sareee charged into a lariat. The first half was nothing special, but the second half had much the faster paced and more urgent action, forcing Hashimoto to bring her A game and shift into high gear. The second half was sequence-based, so they had to keep finding answers in order to keep making something happen. They never answered the question of how Sareee could actually win this match from a technical or strategic standpoint, but she displayed enough heart, willpower, and determination to kind of make you believe in her. The finish saw Sareee hitting her uranage then a wrist clutch uranage. It seemed to come a little early in terms of Hashimoto not being able to kick out, but at least they kept this to a reasonable length, which allowed the second half that made the match to be one lengthy burst of action, energy, and emotion. ***1/2

Sendai Girls Tag Title Match: Charli Evans & Millie McKenzie vs. DASH Chisako & Hiroyo Matsumoto 14:39. A disappointing follow up to their show stealing 6/8/19 title match. This was wrestled with much less urgency, intensity, and aggression despite being shorter. It was consistently good, with quality performances from everyone, but it didn't really get any better than that until the final few minutes. The best stuff was still DASH vs. Millie, but whereas they really took it to each other from the outset in the previous match, this wasn't that heated, and didn't begin to approach their potential until it was almost over. ***
Sendai Girls World Title Match: Sareee vs. Chihiro Hashimoto 17:03. A well built physical contest that was performed more confidently now that they've become familiar with one another, and benefitted somewhat from being able to play off their previous encounters. They eased into the action, establishing that there were stakes, and consequences for everything they tried. Hashimoto could control Saree, but Sareee made sure she did everything in her power to avoid Hashimoto's suplexes and powerbombs. There wasn't any reason real that Hashimoto couldn't avoid Sareee's missile kick or diving footstomp, though Sareee's aerial moves played a much smaller role in this contest. The match was quite stiff, with both landing thudding elbows, and everything they did was high impact. Sareee kicked out of a brutal jackknife. There was a nice burst of action from here where Sareee was countering Hashimoto's power moves with flash pins until Hashimoto wheelbarrow German suplexed her off a cazadora attempt. Sareee had answers for Hashimoto being proactive with her suplexes, but was trapped when Hashimoto instead caught Sareee's spinning high kick and turned it into a German suplex. Sareee kicked out once, but Hashimoto did it again to regain the title. The escalation here was better than their previous matches, but the stretch run wasn't quite as fast or action packed. ***1/2
