aguakun Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Miyu Yamashita & Hikari vs. Yuu & Yuna Manase The escalation of violence between Miyu and Yuu was great - they start off with careful mat grappling but as the match progresses they're out for each other's blood. Hikari performed well, earning some sweet moments with her cobra twist. Yuna wrestled in her wolf shirt and worked heelish during her workover session, which was far interesting than what she normally does. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaeo_ Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 First of two tag matches used to build up to the Yamashita-Yuu title fight at Korakuen Hall. The tension feels very real between them and they get extended sections of this to themselves. Their early matwork is pretty great. Obviously the Korakuen main event is better, but they do some cool stuff that they didn't have on that match, like Yuu catching a high kick and throwing Yamashita into the corner. Towards the end, Hikari puts Yuu in an octopus hold, which she struggles to get out of, before hip tossing Hikaru and going for the rear-naked choke. Yamashita comes in to save her but Yuu catches her and chokes her out with the RNC. Hikaru is the legal woman so the match keeps going. That is until she also gets choked out seconds later. Yuu looks like a badass coming out of this. Cool match, I regret not watching it before their title bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
