As I mentioned previously, NEO had a very busy weekend. They spent two days in Sendai Girls and then came back to Tokyo Mar. 16 for a show at Tokyo Cinema Club. And this week they have a house show tour in Tohoku region. Out of town shows can be very profitable. The upcoming Tokyo shows are designed to lead up to Haruka Matsuo defending her NEO Singles & NWA Pacific Titles against Kyoko Inoue. Despite being champ, Matsuo is clearly the underdog so NEO has to figure out how to book this. Matsuo as champ has been booked very poorly. They probably should have turned her heel. Of course with the NEO Machine Gunz as NEO Tag Team Champs, expect the usual silliness. As long as there's no more Chinese.
The opener had Yoshiko Tamura working the first of two matches she would be in. She defeated Kana with the Patriot Buster at 12:29. Then Shuu Shibutani and Mai Ichii went to a 15 minute draw. Atsuko Emoto & Kyoko Kimura have been teaming up lately and they added Tomoka Nakagawa in a six woman match against Misae Genki, Etsuko Mita & Yoshiko Tamura. Nakagawa was wearing a new costume and there have been indications that she may be poised for a push. She was getting her butt kicked when Mita was accidently nailed by a Tamura kick Nakagawa got the pin at 19:47.
Next was NEO Tag Team Champs Tanny Mouse & Yuki Miyazaki against Hanako Kobayashi & Misaki Ohata. The NOW Machine Gunz did their usual comedy spots and Miyazaki used a Tiger Suplex on Ohata for the win at 17:55. Afterwards, Tanny Mouse grabbed the mic and said that now that they're champs, she wants to give a young tag team a title shot. So now Cherry comes to the ring. Of course the gag is that she's not young. She says she will find a partner and challenge the NEO Machine Gunz for the titles. Tanny questions Cherry's eligibility for this challenge but she says she'll find an appropriate partner.
The main event was Haruka Matsuo & Aya Yuki vs Hiroyo Matsumoto & Kyoko Inoue. It's been my experience that Wrestling Booking 101 has the underdog in an upcoming title match pin the favourite in a tag match. I guess the idea is to shock fans but this is done so frequently that it doesn't shock anyone. So Matsuo won the match over Inoue with a cradle at 16:33. If they're going to do that, at least have Matsuo use a stronger finisher. The poor booking of Matsuo as champ continues.
