Hikari Noa vs. Maki Ito (Tokyo Joshi Pro, 9/28/2019)

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Fall Tour '19 ~ Best Regards! ~ (9/28/2019)

Hikari Noa vs. Maki Ito

This was the blow-off match of a feud that's been brewing for months through interactions in tag matches. Ito worked a brawler style, getting in strikes between transitions and using her headbutt effectively (most of her offense focused on the back to set up her cover leaf finisher). Hikari created exciting moments and a sense of urgency with her cobra twist and its variations. This was paced well and had a feeling of being a big match. Ito is starting to become more than a "character-first" wrestler and is showing a real ability to craft compelling and comprehensive matches.

***1/2
