Fukawa is not close to Yoshida's level when it comes to carrying wrestlers,
so there was no chance of this match duplicating the quality of Akino's
debut. Furthermore, Fukawa played the role of the veteran giving the
rookie a hard time for one of the first times in her career (the first
time I ever saw her do this), so she was a little unsure of herself.
They did some good moves, but the work wasn't fluid and Akino wasn't
smooth yet. This match was fine for what it was though. Akino got to
show a little offense, and Fukawa got to pick up a much needed win.
The match was incredibly short, but Akino was smart enough to protect
herself by selling her shoulder on the way out. Thus, it made sense
that she tapped the second Fukawa applied the udehishigigyakujujigatame.
