Kyoko Inoue vs. Manami Toyota for the WWWA World Single Championship, from AJW Kokugikan Chojoden The Real Earnest

They did moves to each other for twenty minutes. That’s it, that’s the story of the match. I wouldn’t dare call this “lazy”, they certainly worked as though they wanted to murder each other, but if you’re not familiar with their previous bouts and the history of their signature holds, this would register to you as little besides doing big moves for a while. A generous interpretation of the text could hold this is a game of one-upping each other, at least until they start spamming their finishers and whatever charm was there wears off. Expected much more from this.
