I have never heard of Yuka Shiina before but holy shit is she something else. This is a short match, especially by Yoshiko Tamura standards of the era, but they are working as fast as you've ever seen anyone work. Its like Johnny Saint working UWF style on crystal meth. Crazy sprint.

Interesting match. Shiina was on fire, throwing out one crazy submission reversal after another. By far the best I've seen her look. She was hellbent on forcing a tapout from Tamura. Yoshiko Tamura is someone who frustrates me as she clearly is a competent pro wrestler, but she has this tendency to throw it worthless ace crushers and DDTs that serve no purpose. This match was short and mat based, so it ends up one of the better Tamura bouts of the era. The match was almost all submissions, but they walloped each other with some kicks between the holds. Tamuras cross legbar reversal towards the end was pretty great. I need to see more of this Shiina.
Cool recommendation, but it likely wouldn't make my Top 20 of 2002.

I don't mind the meaningless offense as much as because its the early 2000s and that's just the sort of stuff everyone would do. If she had been more giving it would have pushed her up a level. Siina looks super cool and I want to check out more of her matches. If you come across anything cool in your travels let us know! |
