The main event of the LLPW debut show, and a very WAR-ish one at that. Obviously I thought it ruled. They start out by immediately belting each other in the face, then go into a sort of parity stand-off before Kazama drops to all fours and asks Kandori to wrestle. It was the perfect belligerent response to a stalemate, where Kazama was not only dissatisfied at not having won the previous exchange, but wanted to best Kandori in the next one, even giving her the initiative first. Kandori then waltzed up and punted her clean in the face and I fell out the bed. Not to be outdone Kazama threw about a dozen kicks to Kandori's head and face. A couple of these were putrid and before long the match turned into the perfect joshi approximation of Tenryu v Kitahara. Although I've never seen Tenryu transition from a cross-armbreaker into a cloverleaf with this much ridiculous grace and PROWESS. There were a few suplexes down the stretch that Kandori kicked out of RIGHT at the death and I and every person in the building that night thought Kazama had actually toppled her. In the end it wasn't quite enough, but you can't fault the effort.
