Ruaka vs. Suzu Suzuki

[7.0] "Ruaka went to the chairs the fastest of any of her HATE teammates in this tournament here, Suzu was getting tossed into the crowd 30 seconds in. Makes for an abnormal sight, Suzu fighting up from a beatdown, but it doesn't take too much time for her to even out with Ruaka and leave her in the ropes nursing her chest. It actually gives Ruaka a little babyface fire when she keeps having to stop, recover, and commit again since Suzu is so overwhelming. Again a damn shame Ruaka doesn't have matches like this more often, she's genuinely good when she's not just sitting on people with heat and leaning into doing lazy offense. Ruaka also got to be funnier here, Suzu liking to flip between dork and killer it gives the match nice spice."

[6.0] "Kinda disappointing if i'm being honest, it obviously had some GREAT moments which were really enjoyable but it also had some sloppy and "it looks fake" moments, especially when they were forcing the counts outside. Ruaka is really improving which is so good to see and Suzuki is just in the league of her own, love watching her! ***"

[4.0] "this was a very forgettable match. there was decent powerhouse moments, but the majority of the match was outside of the ring. the double count out was also unnecessary."

[6.0] "This match was really inconsistent, when it was good it was hitting really well, but there were a couple of points where it got a bit sloppy or slowed down a little too much. I do quite like how they teased the double count out early, only to then do it for real for the finish, that was a nice concept. I could have done without more of the "Hate Chair Spot" being done twice, though. Suzu had some great stuff with her running offence into the corner. It lets Suzu drop some points without her actually getting bested, enjoyed the finish. Ruaka is having a hell of a run in terms of her results, looks like she's set up well to stand a good chance getting out of the group."

[6.0] "The crowd brawling at the start is just mandatory and added nothing. Instantly became a 50/50 after that, and for the remainder of the time. Suzu forced Ruaka to work, so this was pretty solid. Doing 2 countout spots, with that actually being the finish is bad."

[6.0] "A decent contest that provided consistent action without reaching the same heights as the previous match. The competitors worked well enough together, but the match lacked some of the urgency and memorable moments that made the stronger bouts stand out."

[5.0] "Eh, there were some fine brawling, but while I didn't mind the previous double count-outs, this was too much."
