JD Star had a rather unusual show yesterday at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. The start of the show had eight wrestlers come to the ring to draw lots dividing them into two teams. The red team was Shuu Shibutani, Fuuka, Sachie Abe & Nanae Takahashi. The blue team was Kyoko Kimura, Mika Nishio, Kana & Saki Maemura. They would participate in an Elimination Match. But first, GAMI & Fang Suzuki defended the TWF Tag Team Titles over The Bloody & the returning Yumi Ohka. GAMI made Ohka submit with the figure four leglock in 29:47.
The Elimination Match was not a tag match but a series of 10 minute time limit singles matches. It seems the way it worked was a wrestler was eliminated with a loss or a time limit draw. I guess this way certain wrestlers don't have to job. First, Nanae Takahashi defeated Saki Maemura in 4:21. Then, Takahashi vs Mika Nishio ended in a time limit draw. so both are eliminated. Then, Sachie Abe vs Kyoko Kimura ended in a time limit draw. Kana defeated Fuuka in 6:20. Shuu Shibutani defeated Kana in 7:08 to give the win to the red team. All through the match wrestlers interfered from the outside to break up pins. I guess they did that to give the match more excitement. It seems like pretty goofy booking to me. If you do a match like this, wouldn't you want the best wrestlers in the ring at the end? I also don't like it when draws eliminate wrestlers. It makes the whole thing anti-climactic. So it was a Merry Christmas for JD Star fans and hopefully they enjoyed the show.
