Pro Wrestling SUN had another one of their press conferences on Wednesday setting up shows on Sept. 22, 23 & Oct. 8. So there's a lot of stuff. Last week First On Stage announced that they are running a two day tag team tournament called the Passion Cup. The announcement wasn't clear but they have now announced that there will be a SUN tournament on Sept. 23 and a ZERO-ONE MAX tournament om Sept. 24. Both shows will be at the Kimitsu Aquamarine Studio. There are six teams in the tournament. One round one match will have Fuuka & Saki Maemura vs Kayoko Haruyama & Arisa Nakajima. The winner of that match will face Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo in the semis. The other first round match will have Hikaru & Atsuko Emoto vs Aja Kong & ZEST.CO. The winner will face Kana & Shuu Shibutani in the semis. Don't know who ZEST.CO is. She will wear a mask. Uematsu said she is the younger sister of THE*ZEST. He's appeared in a past mixed tag match in SUN.
They had already announced Kana will return on the Sept. 22 Shinjuku FACE show against Nanae Takahashi. Other matches are Bullfight Sora vs Shuu Shibutani, Natsuki*Taiyo & Fuuka vs Toshie Uematsu & ZEST.CO and Hikaru vs Aja Kong. They also announced that Jamie Dee will defend her AWA World Womens Championship against Saki Maemura on the Oct. 7 Osaka Prefectural Gym show. Tracy Taylor will come in from Hawaii to face Nanae Takahashi and Natsuki*Taiyo will face Kana.
The press conference attempted to set up some conflict between Nanae Takahashi & Kana. It's hard because they're pals. They had Kana berate Takahashi for booking herself in two matches on the Sept. 22 show. She says to Takahashi "What if you get hurt in the first match?" Takahashi tells her not to worry about it. Then they start fighting each other. Then Kana has a stare down with Natsuki*Taiyo to set up their Oct. 7 match. Then Maemura said she knows she is the underdog in her title match with Jamie Dee but she has a secret plan. Takahashi says she's still upset about losing the AWA title to Jamie Dee and wants a rematch so she won't watch Maemura's title shot. She also says she plans to challenge Azumi Hyuga to a singles match at the Oct. 16 JWP show.
Hikaru started to talk about her Sept. 15 match in Hawaii against Tracy Taylor & Malia Hosaka for the EWA Womens Championship. Of course Aja Kong came in and disrupted the press conference. I think she may have ripped up a show poster. She told Hikaru she's not facing anyone interesting in Hawaii. Toshie Uematsu beat Malia Hosaka years ago. Of course she callenged Hikaru and the Sept. 22 match was set. Aja also said she plans to bring a mystery gaijin tag team partner for the Oct. 7 Osaka show. I'm sure that will be the subject of their next press conference.
