NEO & Jaguar in Niigata


NEO was in Niigata for a couple of days. It was sponsored by Niigata University. They were at the university on July 14. Jaguar Yokota was made a special appearance and she was holding some sort of wrestling seminar at the school. NEO usually does this trip annually. The opener was Misae Genki vs Nagisa Nozaki. The rookie doesn't have a chance against Genki and Genki won with the Big Boots at 11:15. Next was Azumi Hyuga vs Tanny Mouse. Tanny does her usual comedy shtick with a Rita Romero Special and then she runs around outside the ring. Hyuga catches up with her but Tanny uses a head butt. Tanny tries to get Hyuga in a brain buster but Hyuga turns it into a small package for the win at 11:13.





Next was Yoshiko Tamura & Aya Yuki vs Yuki Miyazaki & Haruka Matsuo. Miyazaki starts out with a hip attack on Tamura but Tamura comes back with a shoulder block. Matsuo comes in and is greeted by chops and a missile kick. Matsuo comes back with a missile kick of her own. The end comes when Tamura mistakenly nails Yuki with a shoulder block. A high kick, a frog splash, and a German suplex and Matsuo pins Yuki at 12:56. Jaguar Yokota got a great reaction when she came out. She was teaming with Arisa Nakajima vs Tojuki Leon & Ayumi Kurihara. Nakajima has a good battle with Kurihara at the start. Leon & Kurihara double team Nakajima but she escapes and after a stretch muffler and a Cutie special attempt, she tags Jaguar. Jaguar blocks Kurihara's back throw and hits a top rope pile driver for the win at 16:37.





The main event was Yumiko Hotta & Kaori Yoneyama vs Manami Toyota & Sachie Abe. Hotta & Toyota were shoving each other before the start of the match. Hotta gets Abe in a camel clutch and Yoneyama hits her with a dropkick. Toyota gets Yoneyama in the rolling cradle. Abe hits her lucha moves like a plancha & tope. The end comes when Abe occupies Hotta allowing Toyota to hit an avalanche style Frankensteiner on Yoneyama for the win at 15:37. Toyota & Hotta scuffle after the match. I guess the legends doing their thing is what the fans want to see.
