Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championship: Crea (c) vs. Yuko Sakurai
Yuko Sakurai is not the youngest member of COLOR's, but she's the least experienced and doesn't get as many opportunities as the others, so I was happy when this match was put together. It was structured such that Sakurai was allowed to shine, taking much of the match as she built around her few but strong signature moves. She is relatively tall with a solid lower half and her moveset (dropkick, figure-four necklock, vertical suplex, dragon sleeper) takes advantage of that. This was my first time seeing Crea, and she was more athletic and skilled than I imagined, with a classical joshi pro-wrestling style. ***1/2
