There is no doubt at all that Emi Sakura can wrestle and wrestle well too! I just wish that they had built the rivalry between teacher and student into a compelling storyline because as it stands, this seems like a match that came out of nowhere with no real stakes at all.
Sure, Emi Sakura picked up a big win against Riho and Jim Ross did a commendable job in establishing the fact that there's nobody who knows a student better than a teacher. They also told this story well by countering each others' pinfall attempts.
But then again, it doesn't really seem as exciting as Chris Jericho vs. Cody Rhodes or even Moxley vs. Omega, by a long shot, in my opinion. And I'm certain that most of you feel the same way as well. When a non-title program is more exciting than the title feud, there's a problem.
