[1993-01-24-AJW] Aja Kong & Bull Nakano vs Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada

[PeteF3]

Another really, really good match, one of my post-title favourites from Bull and not far off the best Toyota/Yamada matches in a very different style than you'd associate with them.

A strong opening 10m with the giants kicking ass. Toyota was mainly on the receiving end. It was interesting how Manami's offence had little effect until Yamada had softened them up with kicks later on. Things got a little slow and drifted for a short period. They got right back on track with a smartly worked stretch. I loved the way they evolved the changing Aja/Bull dynamic on from Dream Rush. Shin champion Kong was super strong throughout. Nakano was still imposing, yet also showed a lot of vulnerability. Power on the Dream so nearly beat her with their finisher and still looked good in defeat. Normally I wouldn't approve of the tag champs being beaten in a non-title bout. But WWWA TT matches are 2/3 falls and this was only 1.

Yeah this tag match was solid.  Toyota pin balling for Bull was fun.  That part where Toyota has the bridge, but Nakano can't break it, so Aja sits on Toyota was cool.  Goddamn was the finishing stretch hot as hell, it was fantastic.  Nakano had a great performance in this match.
