Saya Endo vs. Tanny "Another Version" Mouse

It doesn't matter what version of Tanny they give us, she's still gonna suck and "that's the bottom line." That said, I liked this version better because, well, there's just no nice way of saying this so, she's not very attractive so the mask was easier on my eyes than looking at her face is. She also wrestled heel style, relying on the chair as much as Saya did. The good thing about Tanny wrestling as a heel is when you can't really wrestle, it's easier to get by with gimmicks and short cuts. Of course, you have to be good at this easier stuff too, and being that this is Tanny Mouse we are talking about...

This reminded me of an ECW brawl minus the big stunts. In other words, the work wasn't that great and the selling and transitions were even worse. Certainly a low level of physical wrestling, and a much lower level of mental wrestling. Anyway, Saya won this with a rolling guillotine leg drop.

Michael: Not bad for an opening match, but nothing that stood out. Tanny looked decent again, so either she actually got a little better last year or these playoff games have to stop ending so late.
