CJD: I'm not going to lie, baby. I picked this match because Sareee's name was written in English and I'd know who for sure we're talking about. Modern joshi is definitely a blind spot for me, so thank you Chris Brookes for bringing us on another Joshi Journey!! Is it time to tap guest reviewer PB again soon?? So my first concern would be this match would be too similar to your last Friday banger. Once I saw them immediately take it to the mat, and set a slightly different pace right after, I could feel the vibes were different. The amount of "oh shit!" moments these women packed into a fairly simple 10 minute-ish match was impressive. Yurika Oka has cemented herself as one of my new favorite Plucky Underdog Babyfaces in these two matches. The way she executes with urgency and desire over precision is so endearing. And Sareee brought the noise as well!! Good luck practicing your kanji for next week homie.
JJZ: So I honestly thought Daisuke Harada was the referee for a minute. My guy is his doppelganger. I actually know Sareee pretty well. She works NJPW once in a while. Solid ten minute match here homie. Oka definitely brought some fire to both of her matches but in this one Sareee was a counter balance to bring the match back to basics. Forearm shots really stood out to me like a chop battle in mid 2000s NOAH. In the small time window both women showcased a full toolbag of skills. Good shit.
