This was Masami Iizuka's first TV match in her new elderly grandmother gimmick. It was a poor match where neither showed any wrestling ability. The point of the match though was for Iizuka to debut her new comedy spots including putting a stocking over her opponent's head and breaking a daikon over her opponents head. She was supposed to wrestle in that ridiculous curly haired wig, but it fell off right away so we were spared of seeing her in that until next time. The match served its purpose, but wasn't entertaining as far as I'm concerned. Michael: I like Iizuka's crazy grocer sorta gimmick, but she's way to green to be anything but a comedy figure at this point. Fujiwara hasn't shown me anything in any of the matches I've seen her in. Obatchi definitely falls into the category of "comedic" gimmick oriented women they call "performance" wrestlers, but she's got to be the least interesting and humorous of the whole lot. Well, then again, at least she doesn't wear a tail and do nothing but Tannybutts. Special Thanks to: Michael Smith 6:41 (2:57 aired) |
