Pro Wrestling SUN had a wild show on Aug. 5 at Shinjuku FACE. Adding Aja Kong to REM will no doubt pay off in the long term. She's simply one of the greatest heels in the history of the wrestling business and can add a lot to making the SUN good girls miserable. It also appears that Fuuka will be a regular on SUN shows. That doesn't really balance. Also, SUN president Nakamura still seems to subscribe to the theory that when it comes to gaijins, bigger is better. Jamie Dee was at a press conference on Friday. She's bigger than Nanae Takahashi so very intimidating. But she needs a lot of work in the ring and as the Afrika 55 experiment illustrated, that can sometimes backfire.
The show started with a mixed tag match, Toshie Uematsu & THE*ZEST vs Saki Maemura & El Braza. Maemura was also scheduled to team with Hikaru against Aja Kong & Kyoko Kimura later on. So REM had a plan and it worked perfectly. So while Maemura & El Braza won the match when El Braza used the Lightning Strike on THE*ZEST at 11:36, Uematsu clobbered Maemura with a chain. Maemura was injured badly enough that she probably shouldn't have tried to return later. Meanwhile, Fuuka got her revenge on Natsuki*Taiyo for the New Year's Eve loss. Natsuki hurt her arm outside the ring when slammed into a chair. Back in the ring Fuuka took advantage of that and applied a cross arm breaker. The ref stopped the match at 9:11. After the match, Uematsu comes out and extends an invitation to Fuuka to join REM. Of course Fuuka turned her down. You know what will happen next.
Next is Hikaru & Saki Maemura vs Aja Kong & Kyoko Kimura. Aja brings a barbed wire bat and Kimura brings a chain. They take advantage of Maemura's weakened state and demolish her with a chain lariat at 4:44. They continue to beat on Hikaru & Maemura. Hikaru demanded the match be restarted and she gets a new partner. Natsuki*Taiyo was injured in the last match. Who comes out? Fuuka of course. That must have had REM shaking in their boots. Not surprisingly, Aja & Kimura clobber both of them. Aja throws Fuuka out of the ring and nails her with a chair. In the ring, they stuff Hikaru in a bag and beat her with the barbed wire bat. When Hikaru emerges from the bag, her face is a crimson mask. They nail Fuuka with a DDT and then Kimura's soccer kick finishes Hikaru at 10:14. Afterwards, Hikaru apologizes to Fuuka and vows revenge on REM. It looks like Fuuka will be a regular part of this angle.
Now it's time for the main event. Nanae Takahashi starts out by saying that Jamie Dee is a man. Well, she is a big girl. They're selling her as Amazing Kong's assassin. The start of the match is supposed to demonstrate Jamie's strength. After an exchange of chops, Jamie power bombs Takahashi into the corner. Takahashi applies a headlock but Jamie throws her off. Then Takahashi can't lift her for a brainbuster. Meanwhile, Hikaru & Toshie Uematsu start fighting outside the ring. Takahashi gets distracted. While going up to the top rope for her Nanarack, Jamie grabs her arms and hits the Last Ride power bomb. Two choke slams and Jamie Dee is your new AWA World Womens Champion at 15:57. Aja Kong came out to raise Jamie's hand in victory and said she plans to reunite the Double Kongs at the Aug. 28 & 29 shows. Backstage, Nanae Takahashi put Jamie Dee over as more powerful than either Amazing Kong or Afrika 55. Uh huh. She's mystified by the day's events and her plans to wrestle Azumi Hyuga are off. The return of Amazing Kong should be very interesting because of course she wants the title. And there's no honour among heels. And what about Wesna?
