As much as there are a lot of bad faith criticisms of Riho out there, it's absolutely true that it's too common for her offense—especially striking—to look like it doesn't have any weight behind it. She's shown an ability to adapt, but it's still something she needs to work on.

I dont get this. She winds up big then looks like she throws her whole body behind her clubbing forearms. Same with her knee strikes. Her diving foot stomp looks painful. Drop kick isn't great but its not bad. 619 aint great but even with that she normally looks like she is landing with her knees.

Riho's tiger feint kick looks like she's slowing way down because she's afraid of braining someone, it's one of her slowest moves. I think her forearm shots look great as she's winding up big but also doing them fast, a lot of wrestler's strikes don't have any snap to them, while Riho's look like she's slamming the flattest part of her ulna into her opponent's neck with as much force as she can muster as fast as she can.

yeah. her forearms are just great. even from awkward positions like fighting on the turnbuckle she makes them look good

She clearly needs to start busting people open hardway with her sharpened elbows, like an MMA fighter

edit: only once or twice over six months, not every match

they gotta recreate the brock/orton angle but with riho and uhhhh yuka?

This reminds me that in the 80's with the AJW relationship the WWE had not only did we see the Jumping Bomb Angels do WWF tours we also had the Crush Gals and Dump Matsumoto/Bull Nakano as well

Inspired by the Dumb wrestling opinions thread - what are the best Miz matches? Not including MitB or other clusterfuck matches I can really only recall his one match with Daniel Bryan from 2010 or 2011 being really great. I think there was a match with Ziggler at one point too that people raved about. Anything else stand out?

There is a match he had with wade barret from a random raw that was actually pretty drat good

Wasn't it Miz's fault that Barrett had to save a dive to nowhere and ended up getting injured

Wasn’t in this match. There is a hosed up neckbreaker spot though. Still a much better match than I expect from the miz
