This is part of the “Stardom’s Favorite Daughter—Icon or Illusion?” watch series, which you can find here.

Looping back around to this one, as it becomes increasingly clear that footage from the latter half of 2011 and early 2012 in thinner than originally anticipated. It wasn’t ever going to make the recommendation list, nor did I think it was worth writing about.

Because, really, I have nothing nice to say about it.

Triple threats, four-ways, and all things of that nature just suck. Always awkward, always much too convenient, and much, much too lazy. Every review praising these multiman messes is just the reviewers listing every single move that happened and screaming about the build, and in this case, with no build and three first year wrestlers, yeah, right. Legitimately, the best part of this is that it’s over in eight minutes.

If you must know, the match is 80% kicks and submissions while one member in the match stands in the corner and watches. Mayu does get the biggest reaction of the match when she hits a rope assisted moonsault, which is cool, I guess, and bless her and Hoshiki’s hearts for leaning into Aikawa’s terrible kicks to try to make them look good. They fail, but hey, I might as well respect the effort from a pair of wrestlers who haven’t even ticked into double digit pro matches yet. Otherwise, the only real thing of note here is that Hoshiki wins, which, I guess, is another sign the company has higher hopes for her in comparison to Mayu. Though, that fact was already obvious at this point anway. Otherwise, whatever.

And yes, I’m finding a way to save my rant on the desperate push Aikawa gets during the companies infancy for another day.

A pointless exercise. Avoid.
