I'm sure it won't surprise anyone that Mayumi Ozaki won the shot at Carlos Amano's OZ Academy Championship on the Dec. 14 Shinjuku FACE. Amano herself wasn't on the show because of a leg injury. She was at the show on crutches. I don't know if it's a real injury or not but Amano wasn't going to have much of a role on this show anyway so it doesn't make any sense for her to fake an injury. She did tell fans she will be ready for the title match. Chikayo Nagashima goaded Mayumi Ozaki into agreeing to not have any outside interference or weapons in this match. Of course Ozaki had a trick up her sleeve. So the match is ready to begin and Ozaki says "Oh, I forgot to mention that Police is special referee for this match". You can imagine the reaction. This was in addition to OZ's usual ref Sachiko Ito. The match went as expected. Ito unsuccessfully tried to keep control of the match with Police breaking any Nagashima advantage and trying a fast count on every Ozaki pin attempt. Of course the fans went nuts when Nagashima kicked Police in the nuts and followed with a diving foot stamp. Nagashima almost won while Police was recovering on the floor but Ozaki hung in there until Police climbed back into the ring and used a quick count to give Ozaki the win at 13:42. Outrage follows the match.
The other notable event on this show was the return to action of Dynamite Kansai. She's changed her appearance a bit so I've posted a pic so you can see for yourself. Kansai has vowed to get revenge on the Ozaki Army and take them out one at a time. I would buy that 15 years ago but today it's more likely that Kansai will end up humilated by Ozaki. Her first opponent is KAORU. KAORU uses the desk board and Takako Inoue & Manami Toyota try to help but Kansai double clotheslines them. Kansai kills KAORU and wins with the splash mountain at 1:20. The Ozaki Army attacks afterwards but Kansai brushes them off. In the other matches, Ran YuYu & AKINO defeated Sonoko Kato & Misae Genki in Genki's final OZ appearance in 20:41 when AKINO used the Aki Exploder on Kato. Takako Inoue & Manami Toyota defeated Aja Kong & Hiroyo Matsumoto at 15:10. Matsumoto got beat up early. Aja cleaned house with her metal can and a chair. But Ozaki and the Army interfered. Aja got her forehead busted open when a Takako stun gun shot knocked her face first into a curb. Another stun gun attack followed by Toyota's Japanese Ocean Queen Bee Bomb finished Aja. And Hiren won over Tomoka Nakagawa at 7:10 with Mika Nishio & Police's help. It's getting to be overkill now.
You'd think Chikayo & Carlos would be a bit better at anticipating treachery by Ozaki by now.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Dynamite Kansai "disappear for months, come back slimmer with short blonde hair and threaten the heels" storyline reminds me of when Chigusa Nagayo did the same thing in GAEA years ago. I hope Dynamite has more luck keeping those pounds off!
In the world of Mayumi Ozaki, babyfaces are very stupid even if they do something smart like Nagashima did. Maybe a little too stupid.
ReplyDeleteiam really shocked that kansai beat KAORU that fast, its not very realistic? what would be more realistic is if she beat Hiren that fast but KAORU being just as good if not a better wrestler than ozaki jobbing that fast doesnt seem right and with manami and takako!
ReplyDeletepoor KAORU.
It makes sense within the context of the angle.
