Quick thoughts on TJPW 7/29 (cherry picked).
Arisu Endo vs. Yuki Arai: Generational classmates put on a captivating match with a tightly packed pace and boundless potential. Yuki Arai meets Arisu Endo's Camel Clutch with the Sasori-gatame. A potentially legendary match-up in the future. (****)
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Miu Watanabe: Yuki Kamifuku brings out a rare angry side of Miu Watanabe, leading to an usualy heated and hard-hitting encounter. The match reaches its intensity peak during the finishing stretch with strikes and chops at close range. (****)
Rika Tatsumi vs. Shoko Nakajima: TJPW veterans display their expertise in a dynamic back-and-forth affair. Athletic wrestling + emotional wrestling, but I would have preferred a purely athletic contest without the emotional interludes in a tournament main. Rika Tatsumi's toned down, more focused performance stood out. (***1/2)
