[1993-07-04-AJW] Toshiyo Yamada vs Harley Saito

My latest obsession is watching any Toshiyo Yamada match that sounds remotely stiff. This wasn't worked under combat rules, but these were two like minded workers and brought a significant amount of striking and stiffness to their bouts. Yamada was a chameleon in that she could blend between shoot style and the AJW Joshi style, and you get a little bit of both here. This is a tournament bout that goes the distance. It's not as dramatic as Yamada vs Hasegawa, but that's to be expected. Saito's a LLPW worker, and they don't know each other as well. There's a ton of action to sink your teeth into, and the work is generally of a high standard. I was impressed by how much energy they exerted.
