Regina di WAVE Championship: Rina Yamashita © vs. Yoshiko

 

It feels surreal to watch a joshi event that takes place in the same venue Okada and Tiger Mask W fought in. This borrowed a lot from the SEAdLINNNG match, but since this is Rina's turf she was the focus of this story. The action was intense and hard-hitting, and the closing lariat battle was epic. ****1/4

I didn't really care for their match in SEAdLINNNG earlier this and they didn't get off to a great start here. Yamashita spends the opening of the match trying to do Yoshiko's spot on her. Then they do a bunch of goofy stuff on the floor. Things pick up after that as the match becomes what you would hope that a match between these two would become. Just great physical back forth leading to some well built near-falls at the finish. ***1/2
