International Women's Day Special: Hotta vs. Kandori 2

Shinobu Kandori vs. Yumiko Hotta LLPW 3/10/99 - EPIC

PAS: This is one of wrestlings great rivalries, two extra strength crowbars and hyper skilled grapplers going to war. In their previous match Kandori captured the big red belt and has been holding onto it since, and this Hotta coming in to take it back. Much like the first match this had some real killer grappling with both ladies working there way into slick triangle chokes. Hotta is all about finding ways to sneak in fierce little shots, they grapple for an arm, and Hotta knees her in the temple, Kandori tries for a scissors kick takedown but get stomped. Hotta is hellbent to not let her get to much into her grappling bag  Kandori in the guard is something I adored about their 98 match, and she is slick as fuck off her back here too, she is so good at making that guard look active, stymieing five Hotta attempts, but succumbing to the sixth. Finish is very cool with Hotta barely getting to the ropes on two nasty submission attempts, rolling to the floor,  only to nearly get caught with another standing armbar when both get back into the ring. Hotta is able to brain smush Kandori with a headbut which sends her to the floor, and when she tries to get back Hotta hits a 57 yard field goal with her head, causing Kandori to barely get counted out and lose the belt. It was a bit of a "Kandori doesn't job" finish, but a nasty one. This doesn't have the blood of the first match, but the actual work was right up there, another classic.

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE KANDORI
