donsem43 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 This is an historic match because it's the first main event of a major joshi show to feature a transgender wrestler. The match itself was better than I expected it to be. Ohka has looked really good in tags this year but usually comes off as bland in singles matches. Here she looked good. Her offense is pretty basic but she used it effectively and hit some nasty shots. ASUKA looked good as well, even hitting some great, Manami Toyota level spots as highlights. They do go a bit long as the match loses some steam towards the finish. Given the historical context of the match they both give a quality performance. ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguakun Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 ASUKA vs. Yumi Ohka This went a little longer than it needed to be, but it was good. There were fluid sequences and counters, and ASUKA showing her freakish athleticism. Ohka brought it in this match, I was very impressed by her since she can be mediocre a lot of the time. It felt like it peaked somewhere in the second act; could've used some trimming, but still a great main event. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
