As I mentioned previously, NEO veteran Yuka Nakamura announced her retirement on the May 5 Korakuen Hall NEO show. The other notable event on this show is that it was a Dream Catchers Special with the three former AJW wrestlers Nanae Takahashi, Hikaru & Saki Maemura appearing in the top three matches. They are known as the Dream Catchers. They've been running a couple of their own shows but mostly they've been freelancing and that means there's a lot of backstage wrangling going on.
NEO made one concession. Saki Maemura defeated Haruka Matsuo. It's funny because Maemura should probably have "jobber" written on her forehead but Matsuo is even more of a jobber. Then Nanae Takahashi had what was described as a very good match with NEO owner Kyoko Inoue. Kyoko won with the Niagara driver though she apparently hurt her leg towards the end of the match. Now Takahashi has been very careful about doing clean jobs since returning in January but I guess when you're working with the company owner, you don't have a whole lot of choice. Kyoko is known to be selfish but Takahashi shouldn't be jobbing to her. It's a little surprising that Takahashi would allow that.
Finally Yoshiko Tamura successfully defended the NEO Singles & NWA Pacific Titles against Hikaru with a running elbow. That's not surprising. Also, Misae Genki won the DDT Ironman Title from Shining and then lost it to Tetsuhiro Kuroda. I guess she held the title for five minutes. Here's the results of the show.
