Mark and Jupi review Ring of Honor Ep 25 8/24/23 (Women's Matches)

 By Mark and Ninja Jupi After the Renegades have messed with both Athena and Billie Starkz, we finally have a tag team match to settle the score. We also have Kiera Hogan out to melt Lady Frost... or will Lady Frost be the one to put out her fire? The play-by-play and thoughts might be brief this time around. We're both kinda wiped out after watching AEW All In. Match 1- Kiera Hogan VS Lady Frost Both women grapple and start throwing kicks. After each of them dodged each other's attacks, both women kicked each other on the side of the head at the same time. Kiera dropped to the mat while Frost was rocked but managed to stay on her feet. Frost does a handstand and kicks Kiera off the ring apron. Frost goes on the apron and dodges Kiera's attacks by doing a handstand, but Kiera still trips her face first into the apron. Frost is dazed from the attack and Kiera knocks her down with a missile dropkick off the ropes. She then cracks her on the side of the head with a superkick a...

He calls for a pair of guys that they're next to try and kick him. One of the guys pretends to not understand and says 'no comprende' in Spanish. Gakushuu tells him to give him a kick, also in Spanish. Both guys run away.  Gakushuu feels that something is not right. Ever since his run in with Hakufu he feels things have been off kilter. Suddenly he gets a kick in the face that send him flying through a wall. This mysterious female fighter with short hair and an eyepatch. Meanwhile Shuyu is in the woods near his home, focusing on his technique. He punches the ground and make a huge crater all around him, but he still feels its not good enough. He lacks finesse, something Hakufu has in spades, as well as an amazing body. He tries not think about her since she's related to him. A maid arrives and startles Shuyu. ...
