donsem43 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rSFeCDmjhc This has been built up as the first big main event match in SEAdLINNNG, although it unfortunately didn't draw that well. For the most part this match is what you would expect between these two, a very in your face, hard hitting battle. My biggest knock against the match would be Arisa's legwork on Nanae. It starts out great with a terrific sell job from Nanae, but Arisa never goes back to it until a short counter towards the end of the match which makes it seem pointless. Other than that, this is a war of attrition. A contest in who can out last the fight of the other. While it doesn't quite reach the all time classic level that it had the potential to be, it is still quite the match and the first must see joshi match of the year. ****1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Jones Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'd agree with pretty much everything above, a lot to like here, but a bit of a missed opportunity overall. Both women impressed but Nanae a bit moreso, Nakajima still struggles with some basic stuff at this point in her career like getting her shoulders down until the last second for nearfalls, or putting as much effort into pinning her opponent as she should at times. But the stamina and spirit of both women is impressive enough and the struggle and drama are present enough to make it hard to pick this match apart too much. Not a slam dunk but still a very worthwhile watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
