Megumi Yabushita vs. AKINO 14:42 of 20:00? While the glory days of ARSION were a distant memory even in 2004, I figured this would be more grappling oriented with AKINO being one of the most technically capable opponents Yabushita is going to have a chance to work with, and Yabushita training for ReMix 2004 where she beat Roxanne Modafferi & Erin Toughill en route to winning the openweight tournament. While the matwork was more patient than in their 9/23/04 tag, it mainly comprised the early portion that they were hacking minutes from, and thus wasn't that big part of this junior style match where they dabbling into several areas. The main difference stylistically to the 9/23 tag was the brawling. AKINO played heel now & then, & Yabushita paid her back with chair shots after avoiding her dive, with AKINO returning the favor with a DDT onto a chair after Yabushita missed her dive. There's surely better things Yabushita could be doing than swinging a chair, for instance anything, but one of the reasons the match came off as well as it did despite the editing is they built up what felt like a genuine rivalry. Overall, this match was neither as good nor as clever without Mariko Yoshida, but they did a much better job of building to the finish, such as it was, & making the match intense & the result seem important. I didn't see the draw coming, as they were going back & forth with hot near falls, and it seemed like someone would manage to get the finish soon when they suddenly gave the one minute call. AKINO was the star here, though not as much as on 9/23, and Yabushita came off better here because we actually got to see what she could do. ***1/4 range

Command Bolshoi & Megumi Yabushita vs. Mariko Yoshida & AKINO 14:46 of 21:56. One would expect this submission oriented match would be a showcase for Yabushita as she is, of course, the only JD wrestler in the match & the only legitimate MMA fighter of these pro wrestling grapplers, but Yabushita was barely involved during the 1st 10 minutes that aired, pretty much just coming in for a few seconds here & there. Though the weak link in the match in any style, and technical grappling being less her go to than the others, that turned out to be okay because Bolshoi stepped it up & was a good catalyst & link between the athletic style you normally see in women's wrestling & the technical style of Yoshida & her acolytes. Bolshoi would start the sequences running the ropes then someone would hit a standing submission or jump into a submission to initiate a quick transition submission laden scramble. The heart of the match was speedy grappling exchanges, but they threw in all sorts of athletic spots whether they be dives or flying takedowns. AKINO had the highlight with a flying bodyscissors into an armbar that looked like it was going to be her tornado A, but Bolshoi showed the most midair spinning & twisting whether it be to get into a submission or a cradle. Bolshoi wasn't as good as the others once the submission sequence was underway, chaining submissions just isn't second nature to her the way it is to Yoshida, but the sequences still worked well enough. Though not the most believable match, the goal was to make it exciting, and they certainly succeeded. I would have preferred if they stuck with the more Yoshida style match, but as the match progressed, they brought out more & more suplexes & flying moves, and were trying to stay true to the submission base with spots such as AKINO going into a wakigatame once they crashed the mat from Bolshoi's avalanche style uranage. One of the reasons the match worked is the pace was so frantic, no matter what style they were doing it was about seizing the moment & hitting the counter. Everyone was pulling really athletic & nifty spots throughout. To some extent, the match was too exciting for its own good because they were exhibiting submissions rather than using them for intense near finishes. It wasn't a match where you cared all that much who won or when, the performers were having fun testing the boundaries of their speed & athleticism within something of a catch wrestling base. AKINO really put on a show here because the match encompassed the two styles she's done in her career, technical & junior, and she really put them together well. Yoshida was the other standout, being the base for the junior style stuff & finding clever ways to transition into grappling. I felt bad for Yabushita because she even got pinned with the tornado A AKINO had teased earlier. Not a classic, but a super fun encounter where everyone was dynamic & reactive, doing cool things that weren't the same old cool things. ***3/4 range
