4/19 Minokano Shi Nakajima Taiikukan Plaza Chuutai (1401)
Zensedai Tournament Ikkaisen:
Tomoko Miyaguchi vs. Sari Osumi

What they did was fine, but Osumi wasn't very competitive and was pinned almost immediately. Miyaguchi was actually going for the pin 15 seconds into the match, but it wound up taking her a whopping 4:15 to put Osumi away with her suichoku rakka shiki no brainbuster (vertical drop style brainbuster, which is the same move that is just called the brainbuster here or the Ghostbuster when Koko B. Ware used to do it).

Miko: This match came off better to me, but I still had quibbles. The camera angle was ok in a way because it's like you are a fan in the seats. The problem is, between that and the quality of the video, you miss a lot. The match started with Osumi running at Miyaguchi and jumping up to be caught in an airplane spin, which was is an annoyingly blatant set up. The spot with both wrestlers on the top and Osumi doing Mongolian chops also came off weak. However, from there the match picked up some, with some decent moves and reversals. I especially liked the diving Thesz Press.
