| Yuka Shiina vs. Kyoko Ichiki (Big Japan) | |
|
This match wasn't that long. However, even though they did some cool things, it dragged. These two don't really understand how to wrestle, and they don't have enough spots to do a spot oriented match. At least Ichiki has improved since this point despite being in Big Japan. Anyway, there were a few good points like a cool spot where Ichiki climbed up the ropes and went into a sunset flip powerbomb, but most everything they did came off flat because the fans weren't into it and they don't build their match well. Michael: Not bad considering that it was the 2nd match on the card. The pacing was alright though the matwork was obviously just there to kill time. That being said, while neither of these girls would be mistaken for a good and/or smart worker, it would've been nice to see Ichiki at least sell her knee a little being that Shiina worked on it for 3 or 4 minutes straight. As you know, I like Yuka so being that I knew what to expect going in I had no major problem with this match. There were some decent near falls towards the end and Shiina's clothesline from the top looked good so overall it was ok. Miko: This match also didn't look that good on paper, but I enjoyed it in spite of a couple missed spots. Ichiki shows good agility. Special Thanks to: Michael Smith & Miko Kubota - Michiku Pro 12:46
