Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Meiko Satomura

 

Breakneck sprint where they throw bombs all the way. ****

I was pretty hyped for this when it was first announced since these two had an awesome match at the first Fortune Dream show back in 2014. Hiroyo counters Meiko's early technical approach with power so Meiko just decides to start kicking the crap out of her to take control. I felt that they did a good job of keeping the back and forth going throughout the match. The finish came off as a bit out of nowhere as the two had been working a slugfest but didn't really have many nearfalls up to that point. While this was pretty good, it was still kind of disappointing due to having seen them do much better before. ***3/4

I really enjoyed this match. I disagree that it was a breakneck sprint as they worked pretty methodically throughout the match. They just beat the stuffing out of each other. ****
