Full card announced for NEO Mid Summer Tag Tournament


NEO has announced the first round brackets and the full card for the Mid Summer Tag Team Tournament at Korakuen Hall July 13. The first round matchups are Fuuka & Haruka Matsuo vs Misae Genki & Aya Yuki, Etsuko Mita & Makoto vs Kyoko Kimura & Atsuko Emoto, Tanny Mouse & Yuki Miyazaki vs Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo and Kyoko Inoue & Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Yoshiko Tamura & Arisa Nakajima. The semi final matchups will be determined by lot. They'll have the semi finals and then the final. They had a poll on the NEO website and Inoue & Matsumoto won in a landslide. Tamura & Nakajima appeared on the S-Arena show on Samurai TV and Tamura talked about some of the other teams. I think they'll have trouble getting out of the first round. Matsuo & Fuuka have been making the media rounds to promote the show. They visited Nikkan Sports and I have posted the video at the end of this post. Yes, it's in Japanese but I know fans enjoy it. Some like Fuuka. I like Matsuo. You might think they're both cute.











Other matches on the show include the debut of 17 year old Nozomi Dai facing Toshie Uematsu. Nozomi was born Dec. 13, 1990 in Fukuoka City. Her height is 158cm and her weight is 60kg and she has trained in judo and bodybuilding. NEO posted a pic of her on their website which I have posted here. The other matches are Kana vs Misaki Ohata and Sakura Emi & Cherry vs Masato Takanishi & Chou Un Daughter. Takanishi is a DDT wrestler and Chou Un Daughter is that Chou un Shiryi guy in drag. Well, I guess they had to have some comedy but there's less than usual. Here's the video of Fuuka & Haruka Matsuo at Nikkan Sports. I posted it to Youtube because this new post editor doesn't have video upload capability yet.
