NEO held a big show at Korakuen Hall on July 17. Not only was it the retirement show for Yuka Nakamura but there were a couple of big title matches on the show and a debuting rookie. Yuka Nakamura is retiring due to a neck injury. Unfortunately, she's mostly known for this goofy little dance she does before all her matches. She's an OK wrestler but working for NEO tends to affect most wrestlers negatively. She isn't any different. NEO rookie Aya Watanabe made her debut against veteran Misae Genki. Genki won with a lariat in 6:09. We'll see how she does.
Yuka Nakamura had her retirement match against her old pal Mima Shimoda. Normally Shimoda would be expected to win but Nakamura did win her final match at 15:58 with her Romantic Clutch finisher. They did the usual stuff at Nakamura's retirement ceremony with everyone in the ring doing her little dance in unison. I guess that's a tribute of sorts.
So Kyoko Kimura got this big win over Mariko Yoshida on the Ibuki show. So now she teams up with Amazing Kong to challenge for the NEO Tag Tem Titles held by Kyoko Inoue & Etsuko Mita. Good choice for a partner. Kong & Kimura won the belts when Kimura used her Big Boots finisher on Mita at 22:49. Yoshiko Tamura successfully defended the NEO Singles Title/NWA Pacific Title over Kayoko Haruyama with a running elbow at 23:56.
