This is a battle of semi-regular tag partners and Chelsea's first title match. This actually starts out with some solid chain wrestling, which is something that you wouldn't expect from these two. Chelsea breaks out some neat offense and does a good job of trying to neutralize Hojo's elbow-based offense with armwork. Hojo is great at selling Chelsea's offense and making it seem like she is real threat till the end. A quality, main event title match. ***1/2

Wonder of Stardom Championship: Kairi Hojo © vs. Chelsea


Praise be! Chelsea is an angel! This was so compact and grounded, it was great, sure there's a cute spot where Chelsea does a 'trust fall' to the outside, but for the most part everything here felt like it had a purpose. Hojo wrestled smart, sticking to what works for her and not doing anything out of reach, just snug chops, elbows and spears. I liked the way Chelsea used her height and long legs as defensive tools; her offense can be murky at times, but Hojo made it look effective. The submission work looked rough in a good way; the sloppy-ish transitions really sold the exhaustion and desperation of both wrestlers. I loved the finishing sequence where Hojo is trapped in Chelsea's modified figure-four headscissors lock, the selling was wonderful. When Hojo began to fade, Chelsea's lights up with a smile, believing she has this won, but when Hojo raises her fists that smile quickly turns into an expression of shock, awe and fear. ****1/2
