5★STAR GP Blue Stars Block: Jungle Kyona vs. Tam Nakano

 

The crowd was lively for this one. Tam is green, but she makes up for that with her charisma. Kyona's leg gives out when she lifts Tam for her powerbomb finisher and the move falls apart. She doesn't know how to lift. She needs to work on lifting! ***

Bit higher on this than you. Thought this match had a really good energy to it and I enjoyed the strike exchanges, Tam's emotional selling of being unable to match Kyona's physicality was very believable. I liked how she got increasingly heelish as the match went on realising that she just wasn't as strong as Kyona until eventually she's just stomping away at her in frustration. The powerbomb botch was awkward but I don't think the match fell apart as Kyona quickly sold it as her leg being in kayfabe pain and went for another move instead. ***1/2 for me.
