Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Hikaru Shida, Riho and Ryo Mizunami vs Aja Kong, Sakura Emi and Yuka Sakazaki

Here's the match video of Hikaru Shida, Riho and Ryo Mizunami vs Aja Kong, Sakura Emi and Yuka Sakazaki from Saturday's AEW show in Las Vegas. The match is OK but nothing special. It's a joshi puroresu sampler. Nobody in the arena including the announcers knows anything about any of them except Aja Kong of course. The commentary is pretty bad. Geez, do some friggin' research. It's not that difficult. Hikaru, Aja and Yuka are all under AEW contract. Hikaru posted yesterday on Twitter that she will move to the US in the fall. She's going to be the star out of this bunch because she has tons of charisma and she can work. We all know who Aja is and Yuka is probably a little green at this point. She's a work in progress. Apparently Kenny Omega insisted on signing Riho. But she is only signed short term as this is her first time away from home. Homesickness could become an issue. I'm sure you will notice they rang the bell prematurely towards the finish. We see these kind of timewasters in Japan all the time. The match didn't really do anything for any of the wrestlers though I thought they picked up the pace at the end. They aren't going to get a lot of time so they need to pick up the pace sooner. As for AEW, I wasn't going to spend $50 on this with the Raptors on. I might have bought it for $25. Maybe they shouldn't charge anything until they are on TV. Use it as a promotional vehicle instead of a cash grab. AEW is on TNT in the US. TNT is not available in Canada. I dunno who would buy it here. Probably nobody. If I can't watch the weekly show, I won't buy their PPVs. But I will post joshi matches for fans who also can't watch AEW. Enjoy the video!
