NEO general manager Koda took the time to interview NEO Singles & NWA Pacific Champ Yoshiko Tamura about her upcoming title defense against Ayako Hamada. Tamura said she was very unhappy that the Christmas Eve match with Azumi Hyuga was a draw and she was seriously considering turning in the belts. But now she believes that a title defense against Ayako Hamada will enhance the titles even more when she has the rematch with Hyuga down the road. She said she has always wanted to face Hamada and this will be their first singles match ever. They were in a tag match at the Lioness Asuka show in Feb. 2005. That was the match where KAORU broke her leg again. So she feels it is a very special match.
I don't think I mentioned this the other day but Tamura was wondering why the press conference was held at a bridal shop. It seems that while the press conference was in progress, Emi Motakawa was trying on wedding dresses. She tried on an orange one and a pink one. Tamura asked Koda about the engagement ring. He said he hasn't bought one yet but will do so shortly. Motokawa came in and wanted to discuss the location of their honeymoon. Koda avoided the subject. See, guys are the same everywhere. Koda said the wrestlers are planning some new moves for the wedding match like the Honeymoonsault Press, Buketo Suplex, and the Rice Shower Driver. They plan to throw the bouquet into the crowd. I'm not making this stuff up. They've also announced that they are looking for two Olympic gold medallists to participate in the wedding match. They don't have to be wrestlers. But don't ask me why they're doing that. Obviously this is going to be played for comedy.
Here's Yoshiko Tamura's November title defense against Mariko Yoshida. Yoshida broke her nose at the end of this match.
