This match exemplified two things: 1) Yuko Miyamoto > Isami Kodaka and 2) Dick Togo still rules. What a terrific opener full of swank matwork and transitions from Miyamoto and Togo selling his ass off. Togo was such a dick here, suckering Miyamoto in for a handshake and immediately Pedigreeing him, flying through the middle ropes with his somersault plancha, laying into Miyamoto with his Kentucky Fried punches. Once Miyamoto is able to get ahold of Togo's leg, Togo's on the rocks, fighting for an escape. I like that he actually tries to fight back during submission holds instead of just laying there, taking the punishment. He collapses on a suplex slipout and injures himself on a Pedigree, which delays the follow-up senton and allows Miyamoto to take advantage. He catches him with a beautiful handspring into a leglock and delivers one of the nastiest Fire Thunder Drivers I've seen in awhile for a two count. Togo's able to block the moonsault with his knees but again, it costs him, and allows Miyamoto to stay in control, dropping Togo with the fireman's carry gutbuster. But in the end, the wiliest motherfucker in Togo scoops the victory with the desperation Gedo Clutch. Go watch this match.
