Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Riho vs Emi Sakura

Here's the match video of Riho defending her AEW Women's Championship against Emi Sakura from last night's AEW PPV. AEW really pushed the teacher vs student storyline. Excalibur is trying really hard to put them over. The match is fine. It's probably a little long. To me it looked like Emi was killing time. She's just trying to stretch out the match. There's no question that Riho can sell offense. But her own offense is limited. How many diving footstomps will she do? And commentary doesn't do her any favors by repeatedly saying how tiny, cute and nice she is. They don't seem to know what to say. The crowd seems to like Riho so I expected her to win. I'd like to see her in a real heated program to see how she does. Emi and Riho have wrestled each other so many times that it looked like another day at Gatoh Move. And that was the number one problem with this match. It had no heat. It's a good match but it needed something to get it to a higher level. Enjoy the video!
