OZ Academy's Feb. 5 Shinjuku FACE show had the usual goofiness but the big news is that Aja Kong & Hiroyo Matsumoto won the OZ Academy Tag Team Championships from Mayumi Ozaki & KAORU. Ozaki & KAORU beat on Aja for the first part of the match. They took her outside and busted her open. Then Ozaki wrapped the chain around her throat and hit her over the head with a chair. KAORU came in and continued the assault with the desk board. But Aja no sold this and turned the tide and returned the punishment in spades. Matsumoto got the hot tag and nailed Ozaki with a missile dropkick. But Ozaki busts her open with the chain and KAORU took over. KAORU's hurricanrana gets a two count and then her Valkyrie Splash gets another two. She goes for the Excalibur but Aja breaks it up. Mika Nishio tries to interfere but Aja cleans house. The end comes when Aja's backfist sets KAORU up for Matsumoto's Liger bomb for the win at 13:08. Aja Kong & Hiroyo Matsumoto are your new OZ Academy Tag Team Champions. Afterwards, KAORU whines and begs for a rematch. Aja tells her to take a hike and Chikayo Nagashima & Sonoko Kato will get the title shot on Feb. 22.
Mayumi Ozaki also successfully defended her Oz Academy Chamionship over Sonoko Kato. They did this at the beginning so Ozaki could do two matches. It was the usual Ozaki Army foolishness. They all ganged up on Kato with chair shots. When ref Sachiko Ito tries to take the chair from Ozaki, the Ozaki Army comes back in and beats on Kato some more. Kato comes back and gets a near fall. But it all turns into a big mess and When Ozaki nails Ito with a backfist, she ruled it a no contest at 11:50. Kato yells at Ozaki for a restart with no weapons or seconds. Ozaki agrees and the match restarts. Kato hits a guillotine legdrop for two and then rolls Ozaki up for two. Ozaki hits Kato with the backfist and the Ozakick for the win at 4:17. The other half of this equation had Dynamite Kansai vs Takako Inoue with Police as ref. Of course this gave Takako the edge at first but Kansai overcame that and won with a diving footstamp at 7:12. It was revealed afterwards that Cutie Suzuki was in attendance and she will be Kansai's second when she challenges Ozaki for the Oz Academy Chapionship on Feb. 22.
When I read in the results that Hiren won over Manami Toyota, I simply waited for details to see what really happened. It was billed as an Education Match so it was supposed to be more of a workout than a match. Of course the whole thing was a rib. First Toyota demonstrates proper kicking technique followed by punching techniques. Then Toyota demonstated a plancha and Hiren does one too. Now it's time to teach Hiren how to do a proper missile dropkick. Toyota doesn't think Hiren gets high enough so she has Mika Nishio hold a baseball bat at shoulder level and Hiren aims for it. After a couple of tries and more discussion, KAORU holds the desk board up and Hiren aims for that. Then Toyota tells Hiren to hit her with a missile dropkick. She does and rolls up Toyota for the win at 6:39. Uh huh. Hiren realizes her mistake and begs Toyota for forgiveness. Toyota doesn't look happy. The only reason I can think of for Ozaki to do this is to have Toyota eventually get pissed off enough to turn on the Ozaki Army. So was it a big win for the underdog Hiren? Not really. The other match on the show had Ran YuYu, AKINO & Ayumi Kurihara over Chikayo Nagashima, Carlos Amano & Tomoka Nakagawa when Ran hit Nakagawa with a forearm smash at 20:19. So just another day at the office for the gang at OZ Academy.
