[2000-05-14-GAEA-5th Anniversary Show] Toshiyo Yamada vs Kyoko Inoue

[soup23]

We get about 10 minutes out of 16 and this is a pretty great old school slugfest from these two veterans. I know about Kyoko's stylistic change in the 2000's but it will take some getting used to. I had no idea what to expect from Yamada but she was excellent hitting some brutal strikes and being all pissed off. I want to seek more out from her on this GAEA run. Kyoko really relied on the clothesline throughout the match and it pays dividends by giving her the win in the end. ***1/4
