NEO held a special midweek show at Shinjuku FACE on June 29 as a retirement show for Chiharu. Who? Believe it or not, Chiharu is an eight year veteran of the wrestling business. I think she was going to school so she was never full time. She trained at the SPWF and her trainer Asian Cougar appeared on the show. She never really rose above lower midcard status. She was freelance but usually worked for NEO when she did work. I guess that's why Kyoko Inoue decided to give her a retirement ceremony. People get upset with me when I say this but I don't believe all wrestlers should get a retirement ceremony. Some of them should just quit quietly. Chiharu is borderline. She's been around for eight years and a lot of fans don't know who she is. It was very nice for Kyoko to give her this sendoff.
In her retirement match, Chiharu teamed with Kyoko Kimura. Both are single mothers. Opponents Kyoko Inoue and the soon to retire Yuka Nakamura. Inoue pinned Kimura in 11:34. Then they had the retirement ceremony with flower bouquets and the usual things. Chiharu said she has been thinking about quiiting the joshi business for six months. She has aspirations of entering the clothing industry.
Yoshiko Tamura & Tanny Mouse just returned from their trip to California to work for All Pro Wrestling. Tanny took this opportunity to do some sort of Americanized Tanny Mouse gimmick. Oh joy. Tamura won in 9:34. The main event had Etsuko Mita & Haruka Matsuo against Amazing Kong and a mystery partner. The partner turned out to be Kyoko Kimura. Kong & Kimura won after Kong used the spiral bomb on Matsuo at 19:06. Amazing Kong & Kimura proceeded to challenge Kyoko Inoue & Etsuko Mita for the NEO Tag Team Titles. That match will happen at the Yuka Nakamura retirement show on July 17.
