Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Charlotte vs Asuka

Here's the match video of Charlotte vs Asuka from Wrestlemania. It took me a couple of days to find a great copy. But this video has everything including the entrances. And it's pristine quality. I'll talk about the end of the streak in a moment. The match itself is very good but not great. I've seen a lot of overpraising of this match. It probably is Charlotte's best match to date. But Asuka had better matches in NXT especially her Last Woman Standing match vs Nikki Cross. The two major flaws in this match were that it was too short. And the ending was too abrupt. it seemed to come out of nowhere. It seemed like they were given a certain length of time and they didn't want to run long. I thought they deserved more time. For the most part, Asuka controlled the match. That's why the ending made no sense. A spear and a figure eight should not have finished Asuka. It should have taken more than that. That being said, Asuka did some very innovative things. Turning Charlotte's moonsault into a triangle choke was brilliant. I assume you heard they wouldn't let her use her armbar. That's what she came up with. That's the move of the match and it was a mid match throwaway. So what this is really about is who will face Ronda Rousey at next year's Wrestlemania. So Vince McMahon has chosen Charlotte because she's Ric Flair's daughter. They also perceive her as a great wrestler. She's not as good as they think. The big question is can Charlotte carry someone less experienced than herself to a great match. I doubt it but I know Asuka can have a great match with anyone. And that's why Asuka should be in that position because she can handle the pressure and deliver a great match. I don't think Charlotte has that kind of ability. She's better than she was. Her promos are still terrible. Most of her matches are very ordinary. That could be a big problem. I don't know what they will do with Asuka. We may find out a next week's shakeup. But they had an opportunity to turn her heel on Sunday and they went the soft route. So enjoy the video. The quality is perfect. Click on the toad and it will take you to the video. I can't embed the video.
