TJPW - TJPW LIVE in Los Angeles (3/31/2023)

5. International Princess Championship: Rika Tatsumi (c) vs. Billie Starkz

An explosive, Indie-style sprint against the backdrop of a rowdy crowd. Billie Starkz may look like a goofball, but she has ideal athleticism and a strong physical assertiveness. Even in short losing performances against stronger or more seasoned wrestlers, she knows how to get her shit in and leave an impression on the audience. Starkz delivered a shock and awe blitz to champion Rika Tatsumi, but Tatsumi was able to turn the tables with culminating leg damage and a series of convincing hip attacks. ****

6. Princess Tag Team Championship: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Ito (c) vs. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki

This was like a compilation of the best these four wrestlers have to offer. They showcased nearly all of their signatures, with Mizuki's Whirling Candy getting the biggest reaction from the audience. Although I never got the feeling that they were going all-out, particularly Maki Itoh, they all appeared to be having fun and the crowd was fully engaged. This is a match that both newcomers and seasoned fans can enjoy with ease. ***1/2
