[2015-10-11-Stardom-Appeal the Heart 2015] La Rosa Negra vs Mayu Iwatani

[JAC]

If i usually complain about gaijin who seem like a bad fit in Stardom, La Rosa Negra appears, at least in this match, to be an exception to the rule. Iwatani wrestles a fast-paced, athletic style, but Rosa is able to keep up quite nicely. Plenty of nice sequences in this match before Iwatani uses the dragon suplex to take the High Speed Championship.

 

Even the post-match is entertaining, as the trophy accompanying the belt starts to fall apart on poor Mayu. Rosa gets in on the act, trying to give some of the broken off pieces back to Mayu while raising her hand. Rosa was a credible opponent for Iwatani and a fun personality in the ring. I hope they invite her back. I was underwhelmed by the first Iwatani match I ever watched. Everything of hers that I've watched has been really good. This match ups the excitement from the previous match between Yakusawa and Hojo and ups the ante for the main event of the evening between Dark Angel and Io Shirai.
