When AJW closed in 2005, Nanae Takahashi started her own booking office called Flash 7 to book herself, Saki Maemura, Hikaru and later Natsuki*Taiyo. At the time, it looked like she was planning to start her own promotion and of course she ended up joining First On Stage. Now that she has left FOS, she has started Red Passion with Natsuki*Taiyo and Kana. But it doesn't appear that she is planning to start her own company. Recent events indicate that Red Passion plans to work major NEO shows. Kana is working for everyone while the other two seem to be a little more selective. They are also running their own appearances like autograph signings and they're even holding an event to unveil Kana's new costume. All three were in the main event of NEO's June 28 Itabashi Green Hall show.
The opener had the type of silliness you would expect from a match between Toshie Uematsu & Tanny Mouse. Of course Uematsu is a great heel but she works a lot with GAMI so is open to silliness. The match begins with the basics. Tanny applies an armbar and then a headlock. Then a test of strength and Tanny forces Uematsu to the mat. Then they criss cross the ropes until Tanny leg trips Uematsu and mounts her from behind. Uematsu escapes and pounds Tanny and knees her followed by a missile dropkick. Tanny comes back with a choke slam for two. She then covers Uematsu with a shroud and goes to the second rope for a flying headbutt. Uematsu gets the win with the Solarina at 8:35. Then she throws the shroud at Tanny. I guess she wasn't amused.
Next up is another comedy match with Cherry and this DDT guy Masako Takanishi against Etsuko Mita & Makoto. Of course Takanishi is in drag complete with a pink wig. This is designed to advance an angle that will be part of NEO's July 13 show. Takanishi & Mita have a test of strength. After some Takanishi goofiness, Makoto tags in. He bodyslams her and tags Cherry. She throws Makoto into their corner and tags Takanishi. He gets Makoto in an abdominal stretch and Cherry dropkicks her. Cherry tags in and bodyslams Makoto. But Makoto comes back with a high kick followed by a lariat for two. Mita tags in and piledrives Cherry followed by a chokeslam. Takanishi tags in and Mita chops him and tags Makoto. Makoto gets a two count with a handstand splash followed by a high kick, a cross body off the ropes and a vertical suplex. But the suplex shook up Makoto. Takanishi holds Makoto for a Cherry missile dropkick. But Makoto gets loose and Cherry nails Takanishi by mistake and Makoto rolls him up for the win at 11:23. Cherry & Takanishi argue afterwards and of course the two will be on opposing tag teams on July 13.
Next is Kyoko Kimura & Atsuko Emoto vs Yuki Miyazaki & Haruka Matsuo. Revolution Amandora go after Matsuo. Kimura gets her in a camel clutch and grabs her hair. Kimura distracts the ref while Emoto stomps and chokes Matsuo with her foot. Then they tie her up in the ropes followed by a double shoulder block and a double dropkick to the head. Matsuo comes back and after a couple of forearm smashes, Miyazaki tags in. Miyazaki nails Emoto with a hip attack followed by a Boston crab. Kimura tags in and is greeted with a body slam. But Matsuo misses a move and Kimura comes back with kicks & punches. Matsuo comes back with two missile dropkicks. Miyazaki tags in and hits a dropkick. Emoto tags in and nails Miyazaki with a flying elbow drop. Then she ties her up in the ropes. Miyazaki escapes and tags Matsuo. Matsuo hits a German suplex for two. She goes to the top but gets caught and Emoto & Kimura give her a reverse superplex. Emoto follows with a lariat and a vertical suplex for two. Matsuo hits a flying head scissors and a rollup for two. But Emoto hits a near kick for the win at 17:47. Revolution Amendora looks very strong going into the NEO Mid Summer Tag Tournament.
Next up is Misae Genki vs Aya Yuki. Of course these two are teaming up in the NEO Mid Summer Tag Tournament. Genki gets Yuki in a camel clutch. But Yuki escapes and applies a figure four leglock. Genki gets to the ropes and Yuki applies a reverse chinlock. Genki escapes and hits a vertical suplex followed by a kick to the chest. Yuki gets a rollup for two and that seems to piss off Genki. She attempts a high kick but Yuki catches her foot and takes her down. Genki hits a vertical suplex followed by two lariats for two. Yuki gets an STF but Genki escapes and wins with the G-Driver at 16:14. Afterwards, Genki & Yuki pump each other up about teaming up in the NEO Mid Summer Tag Tournament.
The main event has the Red Passion team of Nanae Takahashi, Natsuki*Taiyo & Kana vs Kyoko Inoue, Yoshiko Tamura & Hiroyo Matsumoto. Red Passion triple teams Inoue but she busts out and tosses Kana. Then Inoue applies an Argentinian backbreaker and tags Matsumoto. Matsumoto bodyslams Kana and applies a Boston crab. Kana escapes and after some stomps, Matsumoto is triple teamed in the corner. Kana hits a hip attack in the corner followed by stomps. He hits another hip attack off the ropes and tags Takahashi. Takahashi picks up Matsumoto in an inverted body vise. Matsumoto escapes and tags Tamura. Natsuki*Taiyo comes in and Tamura is given a double sidewalk slam. Then Takahashi drops Tamura on her face with a front suplex. Tamura comes back with a suplex on Natsuki*Taiyo. Kana gets distracted and Inoue hits her from behind. Kana climbs to the top and attempts a sunset flip. Matsumoto and Takahashi exchange elbows. Red Passion misses a triple dropkick. Matsumoto gets Takahashi in an Argentinian backbreaker. Natsuki*Taiyo tags in and gets Matsumoto in an abdominal stretch. Matsumoto escapes and gets Natsuki in an Argentinian backbreaker. Tamura tags in and Natsuki hits her Natsuki bomb. Kana follows this with a missile dropkick. Tamura comes back with a neckbreaker and a schoolboy for two. Kana gets a German suplex on Inoue for two and follows with a plancha. Takahashi tags in and Inoue no sells a lariat. Inoue follows with a superplex for two. Takahashi hits a Shining Wizard. She misses a second and Inoue hits a lariat as time runs out and the match is a 30 minute draw. Afterwards, Inoue announces that Matsumoto will be her partner and Tamura announces Arisa Nakajima will be her partner in the NEO Mid Summer Tag Tournament.
