Ian Friend said they had over 2,000 fans in attendance.
KONAMI and Takase are easily in control early on. They double teamed Bimi. They knocked Maya off the apron and locked Bimi in a double armbar. The crowd was on the referee for getting distracted by Maya trying to get into the ring to help, allowing the others to beat on Bimi. Takase was nailed and Maya finally tagged in, coming off the top. KONAMI immediately attacked but hit her partner by accident. The crowd popped for that.
Mamushi locked on a shoulder submission but on KONAMI but Takase nailed her in the mid-section. She flipped Maya over and nailed a big legdrop.

Otaku-chan vs. Crush Yuu
They are doing David vs. Goliath here early on with Otaku-Chan not being able to get much in on the far larger Yuu. Otaku-Chan was sent to the floor and tried to regain her bearings. When she returned, she did an old school Roddy Piper eye poke to even the odds. It didn't last long as Yuu took her to the mat and locked on a Fujiawara armbar. She spun Otaku-Chan around and hit a big side slam. Yuu went for a senton but missed as Otaku-Chan rolled out of the way.
Otaku-Chan poked her in the eye and then grabbed her arm as she walked the top rope before nailing Yuu. She used a rolling pinfall combination for a two count. Yuu cut her off and nailed a powerful suplex. Otaku-Chan went to the floor. Yuu teased a dive but instead crashed down to the mat and rolled out of the ring, where she drilled Otaku-Chan. She tossed her back into the ring but Otaku-Chan kicked out.

They noted Supersonic literally just arrived from the airport. I'll be using Lady A to make typing easier. The other members of Dangerous Liasons went after Supersonic on the floor early. Supersonic was tossed onto a skateboarding ramp but slid back with a kick. She nailed a crossbody on Lady A, which didn't connect well but she did just get off a flight from Tokyo.

She nailed a DVDR variation for a close two count. Lady A used a chain to assist a rear naked choke and forced a submission.
