Gatoh Move - #TropicalNight (9/29/2022)
Emi Sakura vs. Yuna Mizumori
Good amount of heavyweight physicality and emotional muddiness for Yunamon's Gatoh Move send-off. Emi Sakura is a pro-wrestling master whose craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me. She had struggled with back pain for many years but since travelling overseas she seems to be in the best condition of her career. Still growing almost 30 years in. Yunamon really brought the emotion and desperation to the ring. Gatoh Move has become Mei Suruga's promotion, but what Yunamon is more adept at is bringing an emotional core to the action. The physicality and strong emotion of the performances and the creative sequences built around their signature offense were excellent. ***3/4
