Ito/Hamada win NEO TAG Team Titles


NEO continued their SUMMER STAMPEDE 07 on July 29 at the Creation Pavilion in Ueda. It may be NEO's first show ever in Ueda. The main event had Yoshiko Tamura & Sakura Emi defending their NEO Tag Team Tirles against Kaoru Ito & Ayako Hamada. Tamura has had quite a run over the last couple of years. Is it time for that to end?





The opener was NEO rookie Aya Yuki against Ito Gym rookie Hanako Kobayashi. After several shoulder tackles, Yuki won with a hold down at 7:02. Next was Etsuko Mita vs Tanny Mouse. Mita won with the Death Valley Bomb at 12:12. Next was Haruka Matsuo vs Ray. Ray is becoming popular because of her high flying but Matsuo hits a frog splash for a two count and then a high kick for the win at 11:12. Next was Jaguar Yokota & rookie Nagisa Nozaki vs Misae Genki & Yuki Miyazaki. Apparently Nozaki is from the area. So the fans were really behind her. It didn't help as Genki pinned Nozaki after a lariat at 19:03.





The main event with Yoshiko Tamura & Sakura Emi defending the NEO Tag Team Titles against Kaoru Ito & Ayako Hamada has potential to be good. Tamura hits an ace crusher on Hamada. Emi & Ito tag in. Emi is feeling some pressure because of her comedy rep. This has been an ongoing issue in NEO for a while. Ito hits a lariat and a brainbuster. Then Hamada hits a backdrop. The two exchange moonsaults and Hamada hits Emi with several splashes in the corner. Tamura tries to help but is thrown out of the ring. Ito hits an avalanche style back flip on Emi. Tamura comes back with an ace crusher but Ito hits a power bomb followed by a Hamada missile kick. Tamura tries a plancha outside the ring but nails Emi in error. Hamada hits a quebrada followed by an Ito sliding kick. Back in the ring, Ito hits Tamura with an elbow. Emi hits a reverse DDT on Hamada followed by an avalanche style uraken. Hamada counters with a spin kick on Tamura. Ito breaks up a pin after Tamura's Patriot Buster on Hamada. Then a running elbow and a Patriot Bomb for another two count. Ito hits her diving foot stamp on Tamura and Hamada follows it with an AP Cross. Emi can't break things up and it's all over at 20:29. Kaoru Ito & Ayako Hamada are the new NEO Tag Team Champions after a hard fought match.
