Rina vs. Rina Yamashita

[8.0] "I thought this match was really, really good. Simple story, two bullies competing to bully one another. Strikes looked and sounded amazing and all of the grappling looked great. Everything that looked janky ended up being a counter, and every counter looked like something had gone janky. The big knock as others have mentioned is that the structure of the match was pretty standard, but I didnt mind because they kept up the intensity and athleticism and make everything, and i mean everything, look so so good. Another very good match on a great card, dont skip this one"

[5.0] "***1/2 An interesting match--very entertaining but feeling somewhat incomplete. There was good chemistry; both Rinas worked well together and managed to showcase their respective styles despite their differences. I'm barely familiar with Yamashita, whereas I've seen plenty of Rina--who is the best young talent out there. There were interesting sequences and intensity, along with a good pace; the match was working well, but it needed a high-level climax to really seal the deal, and the finish fell short of that. It was an interesting finish, though: Rina countered a crucifix attempt by Yamashita and executed her finisher, the Gory Bomb, to secure the win"

[5.0] "This match was okay but it just felt like it never got going if I'm being honest, contrary to the opening 3 matches on this card. This just didn't feel like a lot happened but it was fine, not bad or good. 5"

[8.0] "The battle of Rina's was so good. Rina is one of my revelation of the year also, she has been fantastic this year, and having the possibility to advance in the Tournament by winning over Rina Yamashita was such a good boost for her. Sometimes we also forget that she is a heel, she is so loved by the crowd, it's so pleasant to see, she is my favorite to win the Tournament, I hope i will be right about my bet."

[8.0] "Absolutely awesome match between two Rina's. It was packed with great action and the atmosphere was so intense. Rina winning was predictable but it feels so good, i mean she might win the whole tournament at ONLY 19 years old, this woman is THAT good at the freakin age of 19, just imagine her in her mid 20's - DEMON! ****"

[8.0] "Really good match as we get some Rina vs Rina action. Really good face vs heel dynamics in this, as right from the off Rina slaps away the handshake from Yamashita, and spits in her face. Early in the match we also see Rina go to use the whip, but Yamashita is able to trap it under her arm. A lot of great back and forth here, neither was really able to stay dominant for long, even when Rina locks in that octopus stretch, or Yamaishita is able to land a huge move, they keep it going really well. Some nice kick outs in this one too - I thought both had it one a couple of times, particularly after the double knees from Rina, and the big german towards the end from Yamashita (which was a really well done sequence in general), and the actual finish was brilliant too, wtih Rina landing the Gory Bomb after the Razor's Edge setup from Yamashita. Both sold the damage they took very well, and I am glad that Rina won and we get the HATE vs HATE matchup of Konami taking on Rina - a rematch from their White Belt clash earlier in the year. Awesome stuff here, really enjoyed this."

[9.0] "Another very good match. Not surprising, since both of them have had an excellent tournament. A lot of exciting near-pins."

[9.0] "It's a little funny Hina is a powerhouse wrestler that can suplex HANAKO, Rina is a big bomb striker that can flip Rina Yamashita inside out, and Hanan the white belt champion has to be beat down in every match no matter the power level of her opponent. The Rinas were blowing each other apart with big boots and lariats, so many great counters, it keeps astounding how quickly HATE/Rina has rocketed up as a wrestler since her Path of Thunder match with Starlight Kid last year she's entirely on the level of Rina Yamashita a 12-year veteran that's worked near every promotion and held many titles."

[7.0] "The Rina vs Rina won by Rina was really good, I had a good time in front of this match, Rina Yamashita is eliminated after a very very good tournament I hope she will be there again next year."

[7.0] "Rina vs Rina, the battle of the Rina's. Pink Rina had a really good babyface performance, her heart and her fire were tremendous. Yamashita was a great force for her to topple. Best match of this opening round."
