Arisa Nakajima vs. Misaki Ohata

 

I was excited for this match-up after the Best Friends-Avid Rival trilogy, and it had some great counters and head-drop suplexes, but it's lacking in drama and the action was too by-the-numbers to be anything special. It's a solid back and forth with no emotional depth. Here's hoping the WAVE rematch is better. ***

This wasn't what you would expect after the BF/AR series last summer. This feels like a touring match between to U.S. indie stars that happens at a random wannabe super-indie. It's far from a bad match, the execution is pretty good and it's well built structurally. The issue is that it just completely lacks the emotional intensity that these two had built up before hand. Mainly worth checking out if you don't have WAVE Network because Ohata doesn't make tape much outside of there. ***1/2
