HANAKO vs. Rina

[8.0] "Rina's matches gotta be very good against bigger opponents. The reason I value her so much as a champion is the way she is able to demonstrate her in-ring intelligence. All of her tactics are quite simple and straightforward. She tried the Octopus Stretch no less than three times in this match. This would be very basic for higher level wrestlers, but it is exactly what is needed for matches with less experienced wrestlers. I mean, that's what makes the future division different and exciting - they make a lot more. But at the same time the selling from Rina was great. HANAKO was worse in every aspect, but she had a trump card - a magical connection with the home crowd."

[7.0] "Good match for the Future of Stardom Title. It's a bit odd to see a giant babyface underdog up against a smaller heel champion, but it worked here. Hanako relied on her size and strength to overwhelm Rina, who used her years of experience to keep her cool and outmaneuver the challenger. The final few minutes were really good, some well done near falls and nice exchanges. Rina retained the title by making Hanako tap out. This was definitely Hanako's best singles match and one of Rina's as well. 7/10"

[7.0] "Quite a solid match, one of the best defense for Rina. she was confident and put her her experience to good use against the bigger Hanako (though her advantage in power wasn't as spectacular here) to gain the advantage early on, then Hanako came back in the match with her power and we got a fiercely disputed bout with some nice nearfalls."

[8.0] "Wow. This was excellent and way better than I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong, I expected it to be good and competitive. But this match, especially the final minutes, were as good a match as you can expect from a rookie and a teenager. They put on a show as the match went on and tore the house down. An 8 might be too high, but that second half, especially the final minutes, makes it worth it."
