Mayu Iwatani vs. Iyo Sky was unsurprisingly fantastic. Stiff as hell. You can tell Iyo got a bit gassed having not worked like this in awhile, but I kind of liked that. High-energy moves should be harder to pull off the longer you go in a match. Still two of the absolute best in the world. Loved it.
