Sendai Girls had the quarterfinal round of their junior tournament May 23 at Zepp Sendai. The semi finals and finals will be June 27 at Zepp Sendai. One thing that's related to what is going on here is Tyrannosaurus Okuda is scheduled to defend her JWP Junior & POP Title against Arisa Nakajima on the June 7 JWP show in Osaka. So you'd think the two companies would want to build a rivalry between the two. But as I've said before, Sendai doesn't perceive themselves as a part of the joshi universe. They do their own thing as you will see.
The show begins with a couple of tag matches. The first one has Hiren & Misaki Ohata vs Mio Shirai & Minori Makiba. Makiba starts with a tackle on Ohata. But Ohata throws her into her corner and tags Hiren. Hiren goes on the attack with stomps, a sleeper and a camel clutch. Makiba counters with a judo throw and tags Mio. They double team Hiren. Hiren gets an ankle hold on Mio and tags Ohata. Mio hits an STO and a high kick and tags Makiba. Makiba hits a cross body from the top rope but Ohata reverses it into a jacknife cradle for the win at 8:53. DASH Chisako & Mika Mizunuma won over Pinkie Mayuca & Hanako Kobayashi when Chisako used a Boston crab on Mayuca at 13:39.
The first of four tournament matches had Ayako Sato vs Sachiko Sendai. The match goes back and forth for the most part. Sato throws a lot of dropkicks. Sachiko looks like she has control with a dropkick, a roaring senton, a swinging DDT and a double arm suplex. But Sato hits two missile dropkicks followed by two German suplexes for the win at 10:24. Next was Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Io Shirai. Io gets the jump with a dropkick, a lionsault and a knee attack. She hits a 619 but misses a moonsault. Matsumoto hits a side buster followed by a missile dropkick. Her Argentinan backbreaker takes a lot of steam out of Io and Matsumoto wins with a backdrop at 4:50.
Next up was Tyrannosaurus Okuda vs Kana. Kana gets quite a bit of offense in with a camel clutch followed by an achilles hold. She misses a hip attack in the corner but then Okuda misses a dropkick. Okuda hits a series of jumping knees followed by a missile kick for a 2 count. But Kana comes back with a German suplex from the top rope. She goes for the Billyken finisher but Okuda reverses it for the win at 11:42. The final match is Arisa Nakajima vs Ryo Mizunami. It looks like Nakajima controlled the match for the most part but she misses a DDT when Mizunami holds onto the ropes. Mizunami wins with a uraken followed by a rolling armlock for the win at 13:42. A bit of a surprise but I guess they want the possibility of an all Sendai final. And with Sato vs Mizunami and Okuda vs Matsumoto in the semi finals, that could happen.
