Posted November 10, 201014 yr comment_5458204 Another M0VES~! match that Tyler Black cries himself to sleep at night over knowing he'll never be able to replicate it's quality. And this is a low-end nomination! That's largely down to Noriyo Tateno, who did plenty of awesome things, but seemed to struggle with the pacing of the match, either getting too far ahead or lagging too far behind at several points. The other five all came up big, though. Ogura may have been the star of the bout. Loved her jumping kneelifts, and the running somersault senton was amazing. Yokota was her usual awesome self. Seeing her bridge out of a pin right to her feet never gets old. Masami and Omori (who seemed to have gotten over her sniffles) definitely made things interesting. They slowed down the pace of the match a few times to show off their power and bruising abilities, both against each other and their opponents, but it didn't throw off the flow of a largely fast-paced match at all. It's like the bridge of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". You go from rocking to waltzing and back again without ever missing a beat. Masami's brutalization of Yamazaki particularly stood out. She lifted her for a vertical suplex, and then turned it into a military press, which was pretty impressive. And if then since dropping her with that apparently wasn't enough, she picked her up again for a fucking GANSO BOMB that was an instant replay moment for me. It lacked the dramatics that would make me push it harder, and like I said, Tateno was a bit off, but fuck, was this ever eye-popping.
