Gosh this picture tells a story, doesn't it?
Arisa, on the right, horrified. Tam, caught in the crossfire. Mayu, holding her crotch, grinning and celebrating while stomping on Natsu's crotch. Martina, horrified. Kagetsu is also there XD

Nick's Match Review of the Day #5:
Arisa Hoshiki v. Jungle Kyona (STARDOM x STARDOM) 8/10/19
There’s a quote from the French painter Edgar Degas that I feel greatly applies to wrestling: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Wrestling is, though viewed as crude by others, an artform. In its best and worst forms, it is art; that cannot be denied. 
The goal of wrestling, like any other form of art, is to make people feel. The audience is meant to interpret what happens in the ring in a way that makes them feel emotion. Whether that be joy, sympathy, pity, pride, agony, hatred, compassion, distaste, or perhaps a blend of them all. These emotions can be accomplished through grand displays of triumph; or heartbreaking moments of failure. Big moments at big shows can create those feelings, but more often than not, these emotions are conveyed to the audience through simpler stories told in singular matches.
I’ve always felt that STARDOM, when it really tries to, is excellent at creating pure, raw emotion. The promotion often succeeds in creating situations that make the audience see more than just wrestling; they see stories, even in smaller matches. This brings us to Arisa Hoshiki v. Jungle Kyona, from August 10th, 2019. Hoshiki is probably my favorite female wrestler of all time, and she’d likely be on the list of my top ten favorites period. Past just her superb in-ring ability, her ability to tell stories and convey emotions was an underrated aspect of her talent. The Shining Star embodied what it means to have “charisma” in pro-wrestling, possessing a unique charm that elevated her matches beyond being just good wrestling. I haven't seen as much of Kyona's work as Arisa's, but based on what I've seen of her, she's very good in terms of both wrestling and presentation. Similarly to Arisa, she's always had the ability to capture the hearts of fans and get a crowd behind her. Both of these women ooze natural babyface energy; their facing is sort of like an unstoppable force meets an immovable object in terms of sheer likability. 
I like the way the match opens. Hoshiki opens with a flurry of offense, throwing kick after kick and trying to overwhelm Kyona early on. It’s sudden, fast, and I like it. I like it a lot. It sets the tone for the match that follows.
Kyona responds by targeting Hoshiki’s right leg, attempting to take away Arisa’s main form of offense. I’m typically a big fan of limb-targeting being the foundation of a match’s contained story, but in this instance I feel as if the damage done to Hoshiki’s leg is only a temporary thing and doesn’t remain throughout the rest of the match. It’s a short-lived blip in the match and afterwards both competitors more or less seem to just ignore it. I would’ve liked to see Kyona continue to go after Hoshiki’s damaged leg as the match went on, but that’s just a personal gripe. I thought it was a bit weird to only include that in the opening minutes just to drop it, but I was fine with the match instead following a traditional David v. Goliath type situation where Hoshiki attempts to find ways to counter Kyona’s size and strength advantage with her precise striking ability.
There are some great sports mixed in with the consistently good wrestling. Kyona catching Arisa’s attempt at a meteora on the outside and powerbombing her onto the apron looked brutally stiff, for example. Arisa locking in a sleeper hold in an attempt to wear down the stronger Kyona, and diving off the middle rope to lock the hold back in after being rammed into the turnbuckle, was a unique interpretation of an extremely common spot. There are a ton of near-falls too, many of which I’ll confess almost got me, including Arisa kicking out of a Jungle Buster and Kyona reaching the bottom rope after a barrage of roundhouse kicks and a devastating V-Trigger. The match really leaves viewers on the edge of their seat, with it being so tightly-contested that it makes it difficult to try and predict the outcome. Such a competitive bout is fitting for a clash of two stellar babyfaces, leaving the viewer on the edge of their seat. Will the valiant champion Arisa retain their gold? Will the eternally never-say-die Jungle Kyona finally claim the Wonder of Stardom championship? It’s truly hard to tell.
All in all, a very well put together contest. Both performers excel in their roles and come together to make another instant classic in the stacked resumes of both. Re-watching this truly makes me miss Hoshiki in Stardom. What I’d give to see her facing some of the company’s current best. Same applies to Kyona. I believe, as of now, she’s still out with injury, but I've seen some of her work in the American indies, namely DPW. It’s quite good, but I’d still kill to one day see her holding the Red Belt. Jungle Kyona continues to have so much potential that I’d love to see realized, whether that be in an eventual return to Stardom or perhaps in another run here in the States, maybe even on AEW TV (though that’s less than likely).
Definitely one to recommend, which is impressive considering this isn’t even Arisa Hoshiki’s best defense as White Belt champion - maybe not even here second best, either. But that’s all subjective, of course. I have it ranked as her third best, behind her match with Utami Hayashishita and of course, her clash with Tam Nakano.
⭐⭐⭐⭐. 25 stars out of 5.
