KANAKO OCTOBER ROAD "ONE:" Kanako Motoya vs. Jaguar Yokota (Jd') |
|
|
Jaguar once again proved she's not selfish and conceited like some of the major stars, rather she's the comsummate professional who is more than willing to do what's necessary for the good of the genre. Even though she had "nothing to gain" because Motoya isn't in Jd', Jaguar sold a lot for Motoya. The wrestling in this match was on a different, higher level than that in the previous two. Jaguar, of course, carried the match and showed no signs of being over the hill even though she was retiring in two months. It's amazing that a woman her age is still as flexible as any woman in the business, it just speaks worlds about how dedicated she is to keeping herself in shape. Motoya got off to a quick start with a cross body off the apron, but Jaguar took over almost immediately with a quebrada. I thought Kana needed to get a little more offense in initially, but it was alright that she didn't since they built to her comeback. They did a lot of solid submission wrestling in this one that both women put over. If anything, Jaguar put it over more than Motoya because she's just a superior seller. Jaguar was really proficient in everything she did, really controlling all aspects of the match. It really looked like an old time match the way Jaguar would do things on the mat that forced Motoya to go with them, rather than the usual immediate voluntary cooperation you see in today's matches. It was kind of slow in points, but had fast action when it needed to. Motoya really needs to start using some dangerous moves because no one is going to buy that the legendary Jaguar is going to get pinned in Motoya's la magistral, or any other move in Motoya's arsenal for that matter. She added a new locomotion cross arm shiki northern lights suplex, which was really cool and would definitely be more credible as a finisher than anything she wins with. Jaguar finished Motoya off with her shuttle loop buster followed by her fisherman buster. It was a good match even though I never believed for a second that Motoya would win, which is more her fault than Jaguar's. After viewing this match, I have even more respect for Jaguar, if that is even possible. Kanako, of course, went on to lose to Takako Inoue & Etsuko Mita in the other parts of her job to the veterans series. Miko: A veteran vs. junior match with SELLING by the vet. Wow.;^) Jaguar made this match by giving Kanako a good amount of time on offense, and selling it well. Motoya only had one 'Just maybe...' moment, when Jaguar missed a top rope move and Motoya wrapped her up in a la magistral, but that has more to do with Motoya's lack of credible finishing moves. Jaguar tried some shoot submissions, but they weren't too good. However, this set up the section later on when Motoya started countering and reversing them. Motoya uses shoot submissions more in her matches, so this match showed one area where she was better than Jaguar. Jaguar is far better at working junior matches than Toyota, and this match once again showed it. Special Thanks to: Miko Kubota - Michiku Pro 14:12
