NEO at Akita University


On Apr. 2, NEO ran a show at Akita University. They had wrestlers on the show that normally don't appear for NEO. There was Yumiko Hotta, Takako Inoue, Dump Matsumoto & Sasori. But there were only 119 fans in attendance. That's exactly why joshi companies don't go out of town. That being said, NEO is planning a Hokkaido tour in May. Takako said it was just like the old AJW days. They all got on a bus to go to Akita.






I'm getting the details for this show from the NEO blog. NEO president Koda admitted he didn't watch the first two matches. Haruka Matsuo beat Nagisa Nozaki with a diving body press in 10:14. Yuki Miyazaki beat Sasori with the romantic clutch in 7:26. But he did watch Dump Matsumoto destroy rookie Aya Yuki with a body press in 5:01. Of course Sasori helped Dump. You know how it goes. I feel sorry for the rookie.





Takako Inoue beat Tanny Mouse with a back fist at 11:54. Takako says she hasn't worked with Tanny for years. She says Tanny was very nice many years ago. The main event had Misae Genki & Yumiko Hotta over Yoshiko Tamura & Etsuko Mita. Genki over Mita with the G driver in 19:13. Koda said this match was better than he expected. So I just wanted to give an idea why these companies don't do a lot of regional shows. In many cases, it's not worth it.
