Ozaki, Nagashima in OZ Academy Championship #1 contender tournament final

OZ Academy had the conclusion of the #1 contender league on Nov. 24 at Taisho Azeria in Osaka. Has this been overbooked nonsense? Yeah but the whole idea is to show that Mayumi Ozaki is consumed by hatred and do anything to get revenge on principal Carlos Amano even if it makes no sense. I've said all along that this league is nothing but a timewaster, an entertaining timewaster. One thing that may come into play is Dynamite Kansai is returning on Dec. 14. More on her return later. Also, fans have asked about this woman Sayuri Kakusho who joined the Ozaki Army and started beating up wrestlers on a recent show. Who is she? She's a Japanese TV personality and a long time pal of Ozaki. I'm not crazy about her appearance because she's not a wrestler and probably can't take bumps. I dunno. It's overkill. Who will they bring in next?




The opener on this show is a Block B match between Hiren & Chikayo Nagashima. The plan is to have one of the Ozaki Army win Block B so Ozaki can be guaranteed the title match. So they need Hiren to win this match. Hiren tries to jump Nagashima but Nagashima counters with the Big Boots. Hiren pokes her in the eye and Mika Nishio grabs her foot so Hiren can hit a dropkick. Another cheap shot by Nishio and Hiren charge into the corner is met by Nagashima's foot. They trade kicks and Nagashima hits a uranage. Nishio trips Nagashima again and they continue to trade blows. Then Police grabs Nagashima but Sonoko Kato breaks that up. But Nagashima falls and Hiren starts a chair attack. Nagahima kicks the chair out of Hiren's hand. Nagashima swings at her with the chair but Hiren ducks. Nagashima throws the chair to Hiren and kicks the chair into her and then beats her with it. Hiren gets the chair away from her and hits her with it. Hiren follows with three missile dropkicks and a neck breaker drop for two. Nagashima comes back with a backdrop for two. Police broke it up. Then a diving foot stamp and Nishio breaks up the pin. Nishio kicks Nagashima and Hiren gets two. Then she goes to the top rope but Kato cuts her off. Kato & Nishio roll out of the ring while Nagashima hits an avalanche style Frankensteiner. KAORU intrudes and Police nails Nagashima with a lariat followed by a vertical brainbuster. Nagashima comes back with dragon suplex on Hiren. Nagashima goes to the top corner for a missile dropkick. But KAORU knocks her onto the apron. While those two are struggling for controlof the chair, Hiren dropkicks Nagashima to the floor for the win at 6:44. The Ozaki Army celebrate. KAORU just has to win her match to win Block B.





Next is a Block A match between Takako Inoue & Hiroyo Matsumoto. Again, Takako can't win Block A but needs to prevent Matsumoto from winning. Takako pulls out the stun gun but the ref takes it away. Takako hit a spin kick and a yakuza kick followed by an STF. Matsumoto reaches the ropes. Takako traps her in the ropes and KAORU attacks Matsumoto. Takako hits a backdrop suplex for two. They fall outside the ring and Takako attacks Matsumoto with a chair. Takako hits a DDT on the chair. Matsumoto comes back with a side buster and several elbows. KAORU climbs upon the apron and grabs Matsumoto. But Matsumoto avoids Takako's Big Boots and KAORU is nailed by mistake. Aja Kong takes out KAORU while Matsumoto hits a backdrop for two. Then a Tokaido drop for two. Matsumoto hits a couple of back elbows. But Takako grabs the ropes and then goes to the top corner. Matsumoto follows her and Takako's thrust to the throat sets up an avalanche style brainbuster for two. Takako hits a spinning backfist and then wins with the Destiny's Hammer at 6:15. Ozaki Army mission accomplished.





Next is a Block A match between Tomoka Nakagawa & AKINO. The Ozaki Army mission is for AKINO to lose. The matchis uneventful with AKINO in control for the most part. But the Ozaki Army intrudes. Mayumi Ozaki nails AKINO with the Ozakick. The end result is Nakagawa wins with a cradle at 8:45. Ozaki Army mission accomplished again. Next is a three way match with Carlos Amano vs Manami Toyota vs Ran YuYu. Ran immediately goes after Amano and nails her with a back elbow for two. Toyota grabs Ran in a sleeper and Amano grabs Toyota. Toyota actually does her Indian death lock spot on both of them. There are a lot of these type of goofy sposts in this match. Toyota does her dropkickinto the ropes spot on both of them, one on each side of the ring. Then Toyota hits Ran with a missile dropkick followed by the rolling cradle for two. Ran comes back with kicks and goes to the top corner. But catches her with a German suplex. Amano comes back with lariats on both. Amano goes for an armbar but Ran reaches the ropes. Then Amano goes to the top corner and there's a combined brainbuster/German suplex spot. The end comes when Toyota goes for the Japanese Ocean suplex but Amano counters with a victory roll. Toyota rolls into a Ran European clutch rollup for the win at 9:30. Apparently noone was sure who actually won at first but Ran was declared the winner.





Now it's the final Block B match between KAORU & Sonoko Kato. If KAORU wins, she wins Block B. KAORU ambushes Kato in the entranceway. She beats on her and takes her to the ring where Nishio & Hiren help KAORU. Nagashima & Nakagawa break this up and Nagashima & Kato hit a double lariat on KAORU. Kato hits a kamikaze and Nagashima follows with diving foot stamps. The ring is finally cleaned out but Nishio gets the desk board to KAORU. She uses it to block Kato's kicks and then attacks Kato. But Kato kicks it away and hits a dragon suplex for two. Kato misses a diving guillotine legdrop and KAORU hits a moonsault press for two. KAORU beats Kato with the deskboard and hits a brainbuster on the board for two. She hits her again with the board. KAORU's German suplex gets two. Nakagawa tries to get the desk board but KAORU hits her. Nagashima struggles with KAORU and hits a hurricanrana. Meanwhile, Nishio kicks Kato. KAORU & Hiren join her and gang upon Kato. KAORU goes for the excalibur but Kato counters with a high kick for two. KAORU hits a brainbuster but Nagashima dropkicks KAORU. Kato comes back with kicks and a brainbuster but KAORU attacks with the desk board again. Kato hits a Crown's Gate for two. KAORU hits an excalibur for two. KAORU kicks out of another Crown's Gate. Kato hits a third Crown's Gate for the win at 6:44. This means that Nagashima wins Block B.





The final match between Mayumi Ozaki & Aja Kong will decide the winner of Block A. Of course it's a lynching. Ozaki is in the ring while the Ozaki Army attacks Aja at the entranceway. They push Aja into the ring and continue the beating. Police hits Aja with a chair and Ozaki hits a missile dropkick followed by an Ozakick. But then Jungle Jack 21 comes in to even things up. They clear out the Ozaki Army. Aja hits a backdrop and Matsumoto nails Ozaki with a power bomb. Aja hits a vertical brainbuster. Aja hits the backfist but Police intrudes and the Ozaki Army cleans house. Ozaki hits a backfist and they take turns on Aja. Toyota nails Aja in the back of the head with a missile dropkick and Ozaki follows with the Ozakick for the win at 2:53. So it will be Mayumi Ozaki vs Chikayo Nagashima on Dec. 14 to determine the next challenger for Carlos Amano's OZ Academy Championship. After the match, Ozaki has a brief discussion with KAORU and names her as Dynamite Kansai's opponent on Dec. 14. Then Nagashima comes out and says that Ozaki can't win without weapons and help from the Ozaki Army. Ozaki agrees to not use weapons on Dec. 14 so Nagashima has no excuse when Ozaki wins. But will Ozaki really do that?
