Posted July 1, 201213 yr comment_5508747 Lots of good action, and the match built well. Yet another strong performance from Toyota, who spends most of the match selling and seems to be having an excellent year. It's interesting how they react to almost nothing when they try to build sympathy on Toyota, but when Kudo is on the defensive, the crowd starts to wake up. I guess it's because the FMW audience is way more comfortable with Kudo and Toyoda, so they probably should have put the AJW team over a little stronger out of the gate. Because when they start dominating again, now they have heat because they're wrestling against two people the crowd has now seen be effective. Interesting the psychology behind that. This match is terrific for building to what seems to be a finish, then giving a kickout and taking the match to a different level, then doing the same again and again. Yet they are smart enough and in tune with the audience not to take it too far either. Kudo finally pins Toyota, but it takes a doomsday device (which looks incredible), some type of straitjacket powerbomb (which is slightly botched) and a tiger suplex. Excellent match! Stuff like this will never compare to the best All Japan tags of the year, if only because the roles are a bit interchangeable, but then again, the All Japan action will never quite get to this level either. They seem to be setting up something with Kong and Toyoda in the post-match, but she gets along very well with Kudo (and may be asking her on a date ...)
