[2015-07-12-K-DOJO] Ayumi Honda vs Yuki Sato

[GOTNW]

This was a much different match than any of the Honda matches I've seen so far. It was a lot to take in. At it's core it's a face vs heel match-but there's just so much going on it's much more than that. Sato put on a really good heel performance, and Honda excelled in this role as well. In the first minute Sato managed to throw Honda outside, pull his hair and drop him suspiciously low on a reverse atomic drop. From then on all hell brooke loose-as Sato had wrestlefriends and even a fan help him beat Honda up. I love the way he viciously threw him onto chairs and then proceeded to throw more chairs at him. But what's really great about this is that these two understood their roles and how to efficiently play them-Honda was believable when fighitng back, didn't do any weird pauses when striking Sato from below, he would either sell or continue striking him, and Sato would respond by registering the pain of the strikes and avoiding them and firing back at the right time. They'd tease you with a comeback several times in a single sequence only to continue the control segment and it made the comebacks that much more special. Sato's Catapult on the top rope was some next level stuff and both guys bumped great. ***1/4
