I instantly falled in love with this match. I was actually looking for the 1993 one Elliott nominated a few days ago, and this showed up on youtube so why not.
This was SUPER fun, like, one of the most fun times I've had watching wrestling this year. Devil Masami is a treasure, guys. She just loves her work and it shows: her perfect balance of comedy and being basically Goliath is mesmerizing. Ozaki is really good in her role too, surprising Devil with a different trick from the book each time, relying specially in roll ups, but she never gets the upper hand. I love the way Devil uses her size to her advantage, I 100% adore the way she sells, specially her goofy facial expressions (in a good way!), and the final sequence is stupid as fuck but damn did I laugh hard watching it. Great match, I guess the finish objectively kinda hurts the overall quality, and I don't think it can compete with the best of the year, let alone being a top 100 contender, but honestly I don't give a fuck. This match is hilarious, but at the same time it takes itself seriously and never stopped feeling like an actual pro wrestling match where both women were trying to win at every moment, and I loved all of it. Another proof of both wrestler's awesomeness, specially Masami's. Here it is:

Oh didn't notice, thanks! I'll check it as soon as I can. I've read Devil works her Taker-esque gimmick (wtf?) in that match so I'm actually hyped to see how different it can be from this one. She's quickly becoming a bigger contender for my top 25 GWE.

I'll do a larger Devil post at some point probably sooner than later in order to make a big case & give people plenty of time to seek out matches & stuff, but I'm thrilled to see she's becoming a top 25 contender for you! I really think she's someone that is just undeniable once you start diving into her career.
