[2000-09-17-AJW] Kumiko Maekawa & Momoe Nakanishi & Kayo Noumi vs Rumi Kazama & Eagle Sawai & Takako Inoue

[soup23]

A good inter-promotional match with a lot of hate. I liked how this started out hot, settled down and then tempers flared up again with piledrivers on the table and slinging bodies through chairs. Nakanishi was the highlight here and her and Inoue have a wonderful sequence at the end full of hate and vigor. The heel invaders use their size and wiliness to pick up a big win and keep the feud continuing. This reminded me of a WAR trio during the New Japan feud of 1993. ***1/2 (7.1)

Chaotic and energetic brawl to start with on par with anything LLPW did during the '93-94 inter-promotional era. Then it gets a tad predictable down the stretch as Noumi is thrown to the wolves. The nearfalls didn't have the punch that you want from a stretch run and you could see the finish coming a mile away, but this was still pretty good for a match that involved some fairly average workers. Momoe was a spark plug as usual.
