Quebrada Issue 61A Puroresu Pro-Wrestling Match Review
Issue 61A - 1/16/00
Selected matches from Battle Station JWP 12/23/98

2 Count Match:
Hikari Fukuoka & Tomoko Kuzumi & Tomoko Miyaguchi & Kanako Motoya
vs.
Devil Masami & Cuty Suzuki & Command Bolshoi & Rieko Amano

These matches start to blend together after a while because they are all spotfests. The wrestlers do nice moves and all, but it's the same moves over and over with no story being told to differentiate the matches. This match worked better than the previous one when it came to the selling because they made so many saves that they were able to get away with not putting the moves over. However, the main point of the saves was to protect the moves by not having wrestlers constantly kick out at 1+. They did had more jumping and flying around than usual as a way to get away with doing fewer finishers. This allowed them to make it just as exciting without removing whatever credibility the finishers had left. Thus, the 2 count stipulation wasn't a negative.

They worked at a hyper pace, and everyone but Cuty & Devil looked good. Cuty & Devil weren't bad, but they were out of their element in a match that was so fast paced. They did provide one of the highlights of the match when Devil pressed slammed Cuty over the top rope to the floor, so it was like Cuty did a plancha except it probably had more momentum and at least looked different.

The last few minutes were crazy with everyone in the ring fighting in between all the saves. Finally, Amano landed on her feet for Kuzumi's locomotion German suplex and Bolshoi hit Kuzumi with her shotei then Amano delivered a rolling elbow. Kuzumi kicked out just after two, so she would have kicked out in time if they were going by regular rules. So now Amano had defeated Kuzumi twice in the same day and this was leading to god only knows what.
