If it ended with the entire Pinnacle beaten down and MJF being threatened with the fork, it'd have been MOTY for me.

Instead, it uh...didn't, and the last commercial break/everything after it was somehow both as much of a joke as the sparklers AND far more boring.

Yukio Sakaguchi vs Yusuke Okada
- Holy gently caress, this came out of nowhere. Brutality at it's finest as Okada attempts to survive against a killer, short and sweet
37KAMIINA (MAO and Yuki Ueno) vs DisasterBox (HARASHIMA and Naomi Yoshimura)
- Yoshimura's first match back after a six month injury, and he immediately made up for lost time by beating the hell out of his former tag partner Ueno. As good as Nautilus were as a tag team, they're just as good facing off against each other. Add in MAO and HARASHIMA to the mix and you've got a phenominal match.
37KAMIINA (Shunma Katsumata and Konosuke Takeshita) vs Damnation (Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Hino)
- Yuji Hino is such a fuckin hoss, he's absolutely perfect as a man mountain for people to (try to) chop down to size. All four of these guys rule, it's like the Sauna boys didn't want to be upstaged by their compatriots in the earlier match by going balls to the wall. A little bit of interference by Damnation, but not nearly enough for me to dock points from this spectacle.

Eruption (Yukio Sakaguchi and Kazusada Higuchi) vs 37KAMIINA (Shunma Katsumata and Konosuke Takeshita)
- Obviously this match was cool, these four guys don't have bad matches. I just left this feeling kind of disappointed, especially compared to how awesome yesterday's show was. Maybe it was because of them filming in the Ice Ribbon dojo with their hilariously miniscule ring, I don't know. The match certainly isn't a waste of time, but there have been far better Eruption vs 37KAMIINA matches this year. Also Takeshita got chokeslammed through a table which was pretty cool.

High Speed Must Wear Pink Battle Royal
Arisa Nakajima vs Ayame Sasamura vs Chikayo Nagashima vs Itsuki Aoki vs Tsukasa Fujimoto vs Tsukushi Haruka

Just made me smile a lot. It's Nakajima's show & she demanded everyone wear something pink for the occasion, Nagashima does not so gets jumped by the 5 opponents and the ref and has a pink bikini put over her ring gear. Also, it's high speed rules which adds to the chaos: 3 counts are real fast, the ref gets involved and pins can only happen either from a flash pin or running the ropes twice before the pin. It's convoluted nonsense in the best way, and it's a joy

HM: Las Fresas de Egoistas (Asuka & Makoto) vs. Yumiko Hotta & Rina Yamashita - SEAdLINNNG Special NIGHT (4/26)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u0bpvg_U1A

When Yumiko Hotta was in Actwres girl'Z she seemed very uninterested in participating in matches, often standing in the corner for tag matches and no-selling everything. Since arriving in SEAd as the manager to her protege, Riko Kawahata, she's brought a chaotic energy to the proceedings, particularly when Asuka is involved. This was her first official match of this run and it did not disappoint. This is probably the most I've laughed in a long time as these four went crazy and the poor replacement referee displayed all the authority of a substitute teacher in the rowdiest class in the school before finally throwing the match out as his attempts to restore order were laughed at and ignored. Special mention to Las Ego's third member Rico Kaiju who found the most unique ways to interfere with proceedings, such as throwing a giant ball into the ring.

MOTYC: Citrus Wind (Nanae Takahashi & Arisa Nakajima) (c) vs. Citrus Wind (Honori Hana & Riko Kawahata) for the Beyond the SEA Tag Team Championship - SEAdLINNNG Special Night (4/26

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmi-jYnwcas

SEAdLINNNG's tag title scene is consistently producing some of my favourite matches. This one pitted Citrus Wind's rookies against their veteran team and was a breakout match for Honori Hana that unfortunately happened behind closed doors with easily her best performance in the ring (though seeing her dancing with former professional dancer Kawahata during their entrance certainly was not the best performance you'll ever see). The younger wrestlers did an excellent job of showing their desperation to take the fight to their mentors and the match kept a frantic pace as their cornered Nanae. Every time Arisa managed to get in to punish the younger wrestlers was both delighting and terrifying. Excellent match, and the next title defence set up at the end looks set to keep up the run of great tag title main events.

2nd both of these. Kaiju pulling Hotta out of the ring just to get badly beaten by the vet rules. And Citrus Wind rule, I'm unapologetically a Nakajima fan boy.

So this is match #4 in the post losing the IceX Infinity title series of hardcore matches against nasty men, & it's against one of the best death match practitioners ever. I'd say it's a little below the Takeda match but still fantastic, Jun gives her a little more than Takeda did so Suzu doesn't just get eaten up, & yeah, if watching 18 year old women headbutting heavily scarred 40something dudes is something you can enjoy then this is more than worth checking.
